Odd Thoughts
I sit here and watch the drop of liquid coke
Roll into a puddle of sugary bliss.
Zoned into nothing.
Space is a non-touchable thing.
Yet all-encompassing
When the submucosal walls
Dry out from lack of adequate liquid substrate.
The mind is forced to retaliate.
Sending a resound call.
To attack
Subconsciously driven.
A need to fulfill the addiction.
The cool feeling
Thrashes against the heat
Only to be awarded
By a thief
Who has stolen?
My vibration
Roll into a puddle of sugary bliss.
Zoned into nothing.
Space is a non-touchable thing.
Yet all-encompassing
When the submucosal walls
Dry out from lack of adequate liquid substrate.
The mind is forced to retaliate.
Sending a resound call.
To attack
Subconsciously driven.
A need to fulfill the addiction.
The cool feeling
Thrashes against the heat
Only to be awarded
By a thief
Who has stolen?
My vibration

Maelstrom
my storm can't be controlled
it is a wild tsunami of feeling
with the rolling thunder of passion
clouded with doubt
I am a woman in flux
the winds in my valley blow,
across the plains of my frustrations
with an internal lust
sensual in my presentation
my wants and desire peak
brewing with a southernly tempest
hello, I am chaos
it's nice to meet you
a mischievous soul gallivants in my sanctuary
he is my spirit child
born of the need of you
coming together as one on the aether ...
it is a wild tsunami of feeling
with the rolling thunder of passion
clouded with doubt
I am a woman in flux
the winds in my valley blow,
across the plains of my frustrations

sensual in my presentation

brewing with a southernly tempest
hello, I am chaos
it's nice to meet you

New years blessings
gnosis where snow flakes flock
sentient ones immortal icicles
may he that speaketh begin
among last fading greens
these three unite as She
Sala Niejta daughter of Sun
Rana Niejta daughter of this fertile earth
Saivo Niejta daughter of the underworlds
stand with me encircled
silver slivers shine
salving breath
ice giants

The uprising of the rebellion
They say that we all come in peace yet there's those who rather destroy, the true foundation of the Constitution of America, For sure you can't never make a right an wrong, but yet what you can do stop, the evil environments for their own political games. For sure even now as a change is slowly taking place, there are those individuals shills, that still can't handle the truth, that a new change is gonna come through out the world. 🌍 For sure you don't have to believe that what I say, 😤 just do your own research. YET we do have our own opinions and thoughts, on situations that...

LET IT ALL OUT!
Verse 1
Am all set in a disco..
What a mind blowing sound flow..
Let it out..
Armors on point..
Let it out..
Barriers on flood..
Let it out..
Carriers no choice..
Let it out..
Dummies now go dumb..
Let it out..
All my five gears done wore..
Fellas up front in systole..
Fellas back here in diastole..
When I set my foot on turbo..
You will see town square don't blow..
Taj mahal doesn't flow..
Even the Pentagon don't poll..
The pores on...
Am all set in a disco..
What a mind blowing sound flow..

LOVE OF MY LIFE, I COME
(With apologies to author of the hymn, "O Lamb of God, I come", to whose tune it could also be sung.)
Just as I am, without one plea
For my Adam-like nudity
But warmth of love you have for me,
Love of my life, I come.
Just as I am, without a clout,
What clothes we wore now strewn about.
Desires within now come without.
Love of my life, I come.
Just I am you shall receive
Me, as to each other we cleave.
Your wedding promise I believe,
Love of my life, I come.
Just as I am (the love we own
Has broken...
Just as I am, without one plea

Espalier Divine
A sonnet is a plan akin
To a dream catcher in the night
Apprehending thought process flight,
On its way out, or its way in
Its customary digression;
A traipsing tumbleweed of thought
In dire need of an anchor spot
To prevent its retrogression...
With air brake caesura feathers
To slow mentation's hectic ebbs
Or rhyme scheming spider webs
To snare spirits, in all weathers...
On the circuitous sort of grid
Forever friendly to the id.
To a dream catcher in the night
Apprehending thought process flight,
On its way out, or its way in
Its customary digression;
A traipsing tumbleweed of thought
In dire need of an anchor spot
To prevent its retrogression...
With air brake caesura feathers
To slow mentation's hectic ebbs
Or rhyme scheming spider webs
To snare spirits, in all weathers...
On the circuitous sort of grid
Forever friendly to the id.

The Cross
I die every day, not in body but in soul.
Every dawn brings a new absence,
a void that expands,
swallowing the colors of the world.
I walk through streets empty of emotions,
where faces are masks
and the smiles are empty reflections.
The human touch has been lost
replaced with mechanical gestures.
The heart beats, but does not feel,
eyes see, but do not see.
The mind screams in silence
in an endless search for meaning
in a barren land of non-empathy.
I die every day, being reborn in fragments,
trying...

The heart beats, but does not feel,

Sky Clad
...second sight. That gift of vision includes not only power to see distant or future events,
but the viewless forms of air.” - Robert Lang
Tis said that Myrrdin lived his life backwards
And what is backwards
The opposite of what you know to be right
Or, not in prophetic foretellings
But seeing after, manifestations of second sight
***
To see you sky clad 'neath summer stars
Skin illumed by the rising moon
New and full, it's danse summons you
Where fires blaze between set stones

Flags and Symbols
I love feeling the early morning cool breeze,
As I run the nearly empty streets of my town,
But suddenly I begin to feel some kind of fear,
That I’m at risk simply because I’m brown.
At those hours I only see one fellow runner,
I always smile and wave at the kind stranger,
He signs “peace” as he jogs the opposite way,
But then I can’t help feeling that I’m in danger.
The sun is rising, the air is getting warmer,
The music is helping me push through,
But as the morning light is shining bright,
Some of the neighborhoods are in...
