BLUE SKIES RESTORE ME
oh ineffable
god
beyond all names
all labels
all words
please hear my
praise filled
joyful
prayer here
oh let me
run wild
in your glory
free
in the power
you hold for me
warm sun on my skin
lifts me from within
love shines
as your blue skies
restore me
back into
such vibrant
true life bliss
again

Ever-changing
Strength
You are enough you always were , and always will be, you were just a heart block trying to contort yourself into a square hole . giving the wrong people far too much ammo , and then acting surprised when they shot you square in the chest. Living truly becomes worth it when you stop trying to fit where you don't belong .I am so proud of you .Look how far you have come my dear , color now dances across your cheeks , life flows through your veins. You are so healthy now my love . That scared 90 pound ghost is no longer you , with bleeding veins , aching bones and empty eyes ....

A Lull During Living
A long short story. Thank you to anyone who can stick with it to the end ]
________________________________________________
A Lull During Living
(9 to 5 Angels)
A lot of snow. Not simply falling, but being flung down by the mischievous minor god of weather. Easily confused with the god of assholes.
Just a hindrance, though. My friend, Golly, walked me out of the hospital and towards his truck, for my ride home. As if it was a home. It was the Army barracks, where I lived now, since my wife had decided that it was a good time to be done with me....

nothing is all we need
Nothing is the silence between the words,
the empty space between the verses,
the absence of meaning and form.
The echo of a lost sigh.
Nadinha is the grain of sand on the beach...
The dewdrop on the green leaf.
The breath of the wind that dissipates.
The vacant gaze on the distant horizon.
Nothing at all, it's the vacuum of infinity,
the void that fills the universe,
the absence of meaning and purpose.
The abyss between being and non-being.
But, perhaps, in this nothing, nothing, nothing at all,
we can find...

white irises
those spirits
stood,
formed
their scene,
their naked
refreshing
wild arrays,
each communed
together,
to fuse
precisely,
polished white
mouths,
those columns
aching
to smile.

BECAUSE IT'S YOURS
YES!
Because
you asked me to,
I will think about it;
Because I've never
seen one before
I will take a look.
Because I've had
an aversion, yes
I will touch it.
Because it is yours
I will hold it.
Because it's your
new pet snake I
will go against my
better judgment and
handle it.......
"HEY!
"I think I'm beginning.
to like snakes; especially yours."

SHOW ME DON'T TELL ME
WORDS!
They are great,
powerful, and have
their place.
BUT

is beyond words.
I need for you to
SHOW me how you feel.
SHOW me your pain.
SHOW me what you desire.
SHOW me what you need.
SHOW me where you hurt.
SHOW me where you want
to be pleasured and how.
SHOW me what you don't want.
SHOW me your feelings.
SHOW me your lust.
SHOW me your secret.
SHOW me your love.
Meet me at the Kissing
PLACE and I'll show YOU.
We CAN figure it out!

It's all inside
It's all inside
I want to be the one you always turn to when things are cold and dark, I want to reignite your fires, I want to be that spark
Let me be the one who inspires you, to push you to strive for more, to help you find the self belief that lives inside your core
When you fall or stumble, it doesn't mean you've lost the fight, we fall so we can get back up and carry on with all our might
When the rain clouds are closing in, you may feel you're on your own, remember you never truly alone I'm this poem on your phone

The Majesty of Death!
By Stanley Collymore
Why fear something that’s clearly
irrefutably inevitable and equally
furthermore, is undoubtedly the
enlivening force and unquestionably also
the obviously clearly effective means of
the undoubted liberation as well as the
beginning, unless of course, obviously
and specifically, you're quite basically
and decidedly specifically alarmingly
petrified that your evident, individual
actions on Earth have actually been
such that now you’re literally, about
to depart this earthly life; really...

YOUR MIND AND HEART AND SOUL
Have you ever had the opportunity to get involved, with someone who was a breath of fresh air. For lets be real for a moment when we realize, that what you want and need is someone who comes into your life. NOT pimpin but coming into your life. With real confidence and consistency and real communications and a real commitment. Not coming in your life not doing what they say, only the opposite plain and simple NOTHING!!! FOR WE MUST ASK THYSELF IF IM NOT GETTING, WHAT I PUT OUT AND GET THE SAME OLDE THINGS, THAT I HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES GETTING BEFORE. Then what is the point if it ain't real...

the Saragossa sea
The Saragossa sea
Once I saw where the horizon ends
a ship ploughing the the sky
White tear on pale blue.
I saw the waiting darkness before
the others did
Look, I said, but it was too late
the ship cast anchor behind a cloud
loading mist for Dogger Bank
Take onboard discarded dreams
to plug the dikes in Amsterdam
Sunflowers on the mythical sea
and red-flying fish
My ship is bound for the Saragossa sea
with a cargo of old sailors
where they will stalk the forgotten

weatherproof...?
where I'm from...when tornado sirens sound
...unless we see patio furniture soar past our front door...
we grab a cup of coffee (or a beer) & head for the porch
feet up on the railing...we settle in to watch the show
...could just be a Midwest thing
but we see the beauty in the savage nature of storm-building
something untamed & untouchable
crackle in the air & thunder pounding ground
and there we are...staring it down...
it's as close as we'll ever get to being that indestructible
...or maybe not...
