Four Elements - A Paraphrase
There are four elements in this world
I think upon how beautiful three of them are
But the fourth, just as lovely
I cannot touch with my full understanding
The way of an eagle in the air as it swims through the canyon
The way of the snake on the ground as it flies from my sight
The way of a ship upon the water as it gives itself to the wind
The way of a man with the flame as he gives himself to a woman
Paraphrase of Proverbs 30:19
I think upon how beautiful three of them are

The way of the snake on the ground as it flies from my sight
The way of a ship upon the water as it gives itself to the wind
The way of a man with the flame as he gives himself to a woman

By the water...
I'm not gonna drown myself...
the sun is going down...
the guy who gave me a ride...
is pitching a tent for us -
I'm fucking him for the ride.
I just came down here to piss..
Not drown myself.
I only tried that once.
Figured I'd finish what...
my Mom once started!
I got too scared. Flashback.
He's calling me. Tent's up!
We didn't exchange names.
Body fluids are enough -
fair trade for the ride.
I'll probably just lay there.
I walked miles today.
I'm tired. I'll play dead.
Or, I could...
the sun is going down...
the guy who gave me a ride...
is pitching a tent for us -
I'm fucking him for the ride.
I just came down here to piss..
Not drown myself.
I only tried that once.
Figured I'd finish what...
my Mom once started!
I got too scared. Flashback.

The Masks Of The Deep
They say the pacific ocean is clean.
On the surface,it does redeem.
Whales,sharks as people fish.
The water looked nice and clean.
Like no evil has been there at all.
Like it was always clean.
And it never had its one big fall.
Like a fish does swim and a crab crawl.
We enjoy the sights of all kinds of fish.
Some endangered ,too.
The surface of the water looked clean.
But the human eye it does fool.
Because deep down,the ocean can be dark.
If you just swim deep.
And your sanity,you try to keep.
...

Joining You And That Little Friend Of Yours
Brian, I see that you're still in the
shower... and rubbing on that hard
rod. I hope that you do not
mind me getting naked
and joining you and
that little friend
of yours for
some hot
love.

Stillness
I sit here looking at the burnt orange sunset
Reflecting off the flat pond
I am no painter with a brush and easel
My thoughts paint the scene
My words color it
May it be dark or light or somewhere in between
Still, I look at the stillness
I envy the quiet in this moment of dusk
To see peace and never have it
Like tempting you with the sweetest delicacy
Only a centimeter away and still never allowed to have it
Even the birds are quiet in this reflective peace
...

Undercurrent.
It feels like I’m swimming for my life,
around me, a large body of water,
and there are absolutely no signs of land in sight.
My arms and legs grow heavier
from exhaustion.
Fire is burning in my lungs, as I breathe
And while I think I’m breathing in fresh air
it doesn’t feel like oxygen, quite the opposite.
Something hot and unrelenting coils in my chest
even as I exhale.
suddenly feeling as though
I’m wading in the fiery lakes of hell.
“Keep swimming.” I think to myself.
The end has got to be near, ...

BE SOME PLACE ELSE
If you could just be able to go somewhere else, to escape for a righteous blessing. AS you become so invisible. TO the insanity from the negativity, and drama, and confusion of the world. 🌎 Where would you rather be, here amongst the deepness, of your own sanity. Feeling your spiritual pain leave your thoughts to find thyself, yet sometimes feeling still alone me myself and I. Yet you have a connection, to the outer limits of your own thoughts. ☺️ TO experience a good vibration within, this place far away from society. THAT only you can see and feel the inner vibes. Which...

Cascade
Gaia waters your daintiness...
initiated as first Daughter of the Nile
smile in your quietness
count your blessings of abundance and remembrance
as tides widen your horizons
soak in the Book of your Timothy
marinate in wealth of masculine empathy
bathe in rich sudsy Love
where the warmth of orgasmic waves flood
your senses...your sensibilities
read me baby in algebraic ascension of dimensions
as My tsunamic altitudes mood swings
beneath your unspoken...

Waves
Once a naive child
Sought after the sea
To feel as vivid blue
As the depths of it
Ventured in too far
Got swallowed by a wave
Trapped into the waters
Dissolving into them
Hence why I have no body
No place to keep my soul
Passed on all my sorrows
To waves crashing on the shore
Sought after the sea
To feel as vivid blue
As the depths of it
Ventured in too far
Got swallowed by a wave
Trapped into the waters
Dissolving into them
Hence why I have no body
No place to keep my soul
Passed on all my sorrows
To waves crashing on the shore

Purples
Nature's best musicians sing
Over lakes and ponds and streams
Sweet and salty waters hum
My guitar strings gently strum
Let the melody of worlds
Convey her gentle sound through you
Drown in deep blues
Sing in strong reds
So that you might live in purples
Follow singing rivers ahead
Go where no man's ever tread
Stay until you lose yourself
Stay until you lose your self
Over lakes and ponds and streams
Sweet and salty waters hum
My guitar strings gently strum
Let the melody of worlds
Convey her gentle sound through you
Drown in deep blues
Sing in strong reds
So that you might live in purples
Follow singing rivers ahead
Go where no man's ever tread
Stay until you lose yourself
Stay until you lose your self
