Weeding The Fools
Just me and my muse, at play in a field
of wishful thinking, so I sow my own seeds
and reap the sweetness of my family.
You don't know me, a well-worn pen,
assuming me wrong, in blind eyesight.
But that's the way I am wary, not a fool.
Sarcastically, my feet touch the ground
skipping my own rope. Listening to nature
with my mind awake. Knowing the echoes
are only memories of my soul's awakening
with nature. Not braying the horn of a dethroned
jackass. I snap my own black eyes peas.

you can say what you like
it or not there'll be consequences

An Odyssey
An Odyssey
A fiery necklace of jade stretches down her throat during their goodbye kiss. When he boards the gangplank the beads sink into her navel where they ignite. She says, “If you come back maimed I will take care of you. If what you saw haunts you, I’ll exorcise your demons with my touch. If you return to me as a corpse I will keep fresh roses on your grave. But please give Agamemnon this note I wrote for you that you are married to a woman who will surely perish of heartbreak if you come home in a casket.”
“He would call me a coward.”
“Be my lovely coward. Go...

Hate All the Chores
I like her
She likes me
Life is full of needs
that don't allow you to proceed.
A smart person knows they aren't important,
so why is free time shortened?
Distractions, procrastination and such.
Over scheduled, complexity, debt, keeping up,
it is all too much.
Finally it is bedtime,
alone together at last but so weary.
Say goodnights, love you and all,
but love-making isn't even a query.
Spooning, soon fast asleep.
I dream of her and she of me.

Disapointment
They say when you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
I beg to differ and insist upon thee
Anything my heart desire will not come to me
These stellar entities are out of wishes
Overworked and burnt out the galaxy glitches
Fate is kind, the song goes
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Well I've lived long enough to know that is not true
Spent most of my adult life longing for You
Prayed you'd come to no avail
Wishes, love and effort to just see it fail
...

If Only
If only every child
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally
This world would be a better place
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally

Retired Souls In Rhyme Confide
I fear as I drip my word
Teardrops would be overheard
No verse shall set its rhythm or whine
I dread my anguish is seen as I rhyme
Whatever deep into my soul unable to mute
I wholly surrender to the magic of the flute
To bring the sublime into the mundane is insane
My world of poetry, in your glossary no word for strain
Blind to the divine truth we wander astray
Tempted by sick feelings we fall an easy prey
Of all the stages, one and only age
When the Self falls into the clutches of rage
Granted is the time to ponder and reap ...

Somewhere, SomeTime
I always find my alter ego, whenever i roam the rocky hills, or skipping right out from home, into
the pine forest on the village fringe, where the pure breeze inspires the pastoral themes..
where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the sincere feeling.There ! is my Home !
i sat on the hilltop watching the tiny village stretching below,"my bled" lost in a foggy silent indolence,
where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty coffee shops, and shady nooks; and dark corners....
where kids in their blooming age reap what the bad...

where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the sincere feeling.There ! is my Home !

where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty coffee shops, and shady nooks; and dark corners....

The NO! machine malfunction
Eeny meenie miney moe,
my day is flying – watch it go!
The to-do list is like a rope
around my neck – there is no hope…
…that I can get out of this heap
when every task is layers deep
and messages won’t quit – BEEP BEEP!
and people keep on asking me…
…to do the things I promised them.
What was I thinking way back then??
My stupid optimistic mind
has bit me in my own behind!
There’s only one thing this could mean --
I have to fix my NO! machine.
my day is flying – watch it go!

Citizens of the Pipeline Empire
Diddy going to jail is like rewarding him for his alleged crime
It’s just giving him unlimited access to confined behind,
“Now instead of licking pink waterfalls
He will be licking dick and balls,
“Now he is running hard like a mangy dog in a shelter’s backyard
Thinking he’s free until that choking chain cut off his bark,
“That is how many of us live our everyday life
Dining on danger and dancing on the edge of the nuclear knife,
“Being only one terrorist act away from the eternal black
Now you slave...

Gaining the World
I know that I am tasked
though choices I have freely made
with following the ways of Jesus Christ
I’m worried though,
since this, perchance,
involves my braving
for his Gospel’s sake
my death upon a cross
or in a place of spectacle,
that I,
when hard fact faced
with this
and all the suffering
it might be prefaced by ,’
would find myself
a man among the weak,
that is to say,
as one who lacked
the strength of mind and will
to see his duty done
...
