Broken Hearts
I sail the seas with pride
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love
You can't hide your heart
You shouldn't deny your love

Tina Turner
She did not ask for the life
She was given
Looking like the woman and man
Who decided their life
Was more important
Grandma to the rescue
She did not choose the
One she loved
It hit her like a freight train
Never derailed
Controlled and rolled on
Seeing his goals
Who can save her now?
She did not ask for Talent.
The only saving grace in
Her existence
The children go
The friendships die
The love beaten out of her
Leaving marks that can't hide
Hope all but gone ...

Let there be fog
for fog transforms
do not decipher me
I am mystery
no blood was shed
only ink to write this tale
o hidden folk
allow us your quantity
qualities from insights
equalities epiphany
formed
symbiotic symbols
scorned seen by
waiting to be
members
followers
cults and
cultures
usually drawn on shoulders
carved into their palms
perhaps in animal footprints
while in earlier centuries
people wearing these
symbols openly
were seen...

to touch a shadow
my darkness deepens then blushes
sigh, to touch my soul
we corrupt a moment coming together
it lingers inside me
moving over my body taking me in
observing what it is that's special about me
a curiosity to the dark
my sorrow serenades him
my sadness caresses
altering the nature of his obsession
he feels affection in his cold detached state
to touch a star sigh
I shimmer in his grasp then fade
angry wrath, oh beholden one
disappearing in my grasp
searching the earth he scours

Earthlings
In the quiet dawn of an Earthling
when shadows bled with light
we emerged as storm and calm
from oceanic depths
to Zepher heights
Carving our desires
into mountainsides, we climb
with slippery feet and bloody hands
wishing to grasp eternity
in a single grain of sand
We are canyon echoes
rivers tracing invisible lines
across our face
heartbeats of a thousand stories
written in linear time
under Universal grace
Our depths hold savage
and...

HOW FAR YOU WILLING TO GO
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ FOR I would like to take this time to be able, to share your thoughts on your imagination, and the flow of your deepness of your mind thoughts. For sure there will be more to see if you did really decide to take this chance at manifesting. Your mind own thoughts and insight and just imagine, that you are far away from the negativity and drama and chaos and insanity.
THAT seems to wrap you up with a code of not thinking for thyself. Now just imagine that you are on a planet, that only you were the only one that existed, far away in a...

The other half.
Everywhere I go, he goes with me,
waiting for the right conditions to arise so he can reveal himself.
Like some super sleuth or stalker,
he will catch me by surprise,
when the sun is in the skies.
He's such a nice fellow my shadow.l'd surely be dead without him.
There is no sun in a coffin.
waiting for the right conditions to arise so he can reveal himself.
Like some super sleuth or stalker,
he will catch me by surprise,
when the sun is in the skies.
He's such a nice fellow my shadow.l'd surely be dead without him.
There is no sun in a coffin.

Whispers in the Dark
Buzzing
Darkness whispers
Flies circle, secrets hide
Silent steps, shadows entangle
Fear reigns

Flies circle, secrets hide
Silent steps, shadows entangle

There is no better place to be,
than at a MIDNIGHT...there or here,
where awesome shadows let us see,
the specter...of a SONNETEER !!

The Puppet
where am i who
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall
am i i can't see
it all am i just
a shadow on
the wall stuck
in Plato's cave
chained for life
in a false reality
too blind to see
what lies here
in front of me
am i a puppet
a player in this
altered reality
a mind game
meant to drive
us to insanity
doubt destiny
or am i just the
ghost who's too
scared to see the
writings on the wall

follow me into the storm
the wind speaks of lettin go
in the language of the broken
promisin to scatter these bones
like the last notes of a storm
fadin into thunder
mother nature opens her arms
in a way that my mother never did
offerin shelter in the chaos
peace in the destruction
rest in her wild heart
each breath a step closer
to the quiet center
where stars hang too low
and the moon splits the clouds
where the sky bleeds into the horizon
and lightnin makes promises
that the rain never intended to keep
where darkness drifts in ...
