The Clotilda (A Day in the Swamp)
When the darkness of my night
provides no shelter from my storms,
I'll use my sunshine to spend a day in the swamp,
to wash my blues away clear to the ocean.
I'll make ripples in the water
on a borrowed boat
running the banks and
exploring the feeder creeks,
while turtles dive from their logs and
alligators smile as they slide into the murky water.
But you'll never see the Clotilda,
not even at low tide
I'll watch tiny orchids bloom,
talk to the cypress trees,
listen to...
provides no shelter from my storms,
I'll use my sunshine to spend a day in the swamp,
to wash my blues away clear to the ocean.
I'll make ripples in the water
on a borrowed boat
running the banks and
exploring the feeder creeks,
while turtles dive from their logs and
alligators smile as they slide into the murky water.
But you'll never see the Clotilda,
not even at low tide
I'll watch tiny orchids bloom,
talk to the cypress trees,
listen to...

wynd
We don't create a fantasy world to escape reality.
We create it to be able to stay.”—Lynda Barry
to keep my head about me,
i take the wynd
into the woods,
finding a place to shout, free
from nerve-ends tined
by ruffled moods.
beside the quiet river,
i rest my case
in solitude,
grasping hope like a sliver
soon to erase
tempers accrued
amidst the madding hurry
of life’s swift grind
and day’s vile curse.
sweet river drinks my worry
till unconfined,
my universe.

TRANQUILITY OF PEACE
Here I am in tranquility and the deepness of my thoughts, as they roam with my eyes to see 👁️👁️ before me. THE full truth of the deepness and depth, in it's natural form of beauty. As it is setting with the golden sun 🌞 and tall trees of green, and mountains with it's tall peeks reaching out to the heavenly skies. AS the mere reflection of crystal clear waters, shines against the calm waters of the seas. For as I sit here in this world of TRANQUILITY, and PEACE I find that it is here I am at inner peace, with my senses of my ability to manifest my deepest...

Floating
Floating down the river bend
I sure am missing a few friends
Floating down the river bend
I hope I get to see them again
Floating down the river bend
My friend, you’ve gone too soon
I drink to your memory
Of the times the river spoke our names
Young and bold
You’ll never grow old
Your story will be told
Tales that will never end
Floating down the river bend
I sure am missing a few friends
Floating down the river bend
I hope I get to see them again
Floating down the river bend
My friend, you’ve gone too soon
I drink to your memory
Of the times the river spoke our names
Young and bold
You’ll never grow old
Your story will be told
Tales that will never end
Floating down the river bend

TO GO FAR AWAY TO ESCAPE
If you were to get out of the hustle and drama of the 🌍 where would you go, to be free of the nonsense and the madness. THAT seems to be like an pledge of death and destruction, to the very fabric of your mind and spiritual soul holding you in a place. THAT you feel that you just don't really belong. What if you were able to share your thoughts with, the invaders of lost time were would you go to find, your peace of mind and spiritual subconsciousness of freedom. To become aware of your unspoken words of wisdom, and the true flow of your silence in your heart, that actually makes you...

waterfall (her kisses)
how free,
willing, she
articulates
herself,
sunlight,
shadows,
she is
fluent,
her kisses
betray
her desires,
her glancing
skin
touching
stones
before parting.

and i drank from that stream
how such
clouds became
headstrong,
but i
heard it
wasn't personal,
somehow
things still
looked lost,
but, the
rage sounded
elegant,
the storm
ran across
the land,
i took
its ambition
very seriously,
but now
we have
made peace,
i listened
to
the waters
crash onto
the banks,
and i
knelt down
beside
and i
drank from
that stream.

Nature's Enigmatic Tapestry
Meticulously arranged, the elements unfold,
A table of wonders, complete and clear.
Ideals of balance, explosions held at bay,
As the winds whisper, waters flow, life stirs.
Fragrance and the invisible intertwine,
Mechanisms shrouded in mystery's embrace.
Boundless, complex as the stars that shine,
The earth, a creation born of the Creator's grace.
Yet humans, like ignorant children, roam,
Eager to dismantle the home that gives them life.
The Creator, concerned, crushed nature's codes,
Scattering the pieces,...
A table of wonders, complete and clear.
Ideals of balance, explosions held at bay,
As the winds whisper, waters flow, life stirs.
Fragrance and the invisible intertwine,
Mechanisms shrouded in mystery's embrace.
Boundless, complex as the stars that shine,
The earth, a creation born of the Creator's grace.
Yet humans, like ignorant children, roam,
Eager to dismantle the home that gives them life.
The Creator, concerned, crushed nature's codes,

Sexy Eyes
This is the original version of "Pretty Eyes."
Honey, your sexy eyes give me a thrill.
You’re a captivating lady, and I adore you.
Why do I follow the river to the coast?
I go there for you and your sexy eyes.
Every day I pray and wait for your love.
And I’m still hoping that you’ll accept me.
I don't mind if it’s late when I’m at your gate.
Would you like to go sightseeing with me?
I'll take you anywhere you want to go.
And I’ll enliven you when you’re down.
Don’t wait forever to say you love me.
Honey, I need...

floating stream
i want
to make
a connection
with that
floating stream,
that surface
and stages,
all plump
and
well fed,
the rains
repeating
certain themes,
some desire
and restraint,
to feel less
of a victim,
more of
a villain,
to drown
what lays
in its
destination..

don’t ignore the river, mate
on his phone he describes to her
what he’s seeing.
“I’m on a hill overlooking the river ..”
let me stop you there,
she says
to overlook the river’s a mistake
what he’s seeing.
“I’m on a hill overlooking the river ..”
let me stop you there,
