Night Walk
I took a walk through the tapestry of night,
where streetlamps stitched their gold tight across midnight’s throat—
not stars, but close enough to mimic light,
to guard the paths where restless shadows are rubies.
A chorus hummed through bones of bending trees,
the wind’s tender grasp combed through the thorny thicket.
Far above, in blackened galaxies,
starlight blew its kisses—thick as good luck & hope.
The moon, ripe as a strawberry, dripped its glow,
and climbed the clouds like stairs, playing calipee. ...

Tick Tock
Intellectual interactions that stretched miles
Inventor in the mind, praises by the inventions of the hands
Mileage by the success from the journey
Social reform movements are shaping the face of reality
A world of make believe, looking out to a world of cruelty, lies, betrayals, dreams, and disappointments
Political hypocrites always want to play the act of being the virtuous, innocent
The deeds of vile actions witnessed by open hearts, blind eyes, will always be devoid...

Class Education
The trees bear fruit - delicious and rich
For the privileged few get to savor and taste, prosper and grow.
And the seeds are then passed down for new procreation, to be cultivated
To become richer on their own, passed down for generations to come.
But over time fences rise, to protect these trees that bear fruit
They are obstacles and barriers for those on the outside.
But the branches in time, reach further,
Inviting those who thirst and hunger
Outside the gates to experience this knowledge
So they cross
Any limits,
To know,

Listen to the silence
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to go
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning

Disapointment
They say when you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
I beg to differ and insist upon thee
Anything my heart desire will not come to me
These stellar entities are out of wishes
Overworked and burnt out the galaxy glitches
Fate is kind, the song goes
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Well I've lived long enough to know that is not true
Spent most of my adult life longing for You
Prayed you'd come to no avail
Wishes, love and effort to just see it fail
...

The Pilgrimage Of The Soul
Most misguided souls banging for salvation on Heaven’s door, transgressions of feeble needs overrule and controls
The weight of gold cannot get you faster passage, or a seat at the throne of glory, our fate has already been foretold
I had an epiphany with Yeshua in my dream
Upon His voice, this realm of carnage upon His oasis is Revelation reborn so shall it seem
Entities aloof with the word of gospel in mouths
Spewing hatred with wicked tongues as fast as water pours from spouts...

Wisdo(o)m (with a silent 'O'!
Why are some people,
Sometimes called
Etymologically speaking
Clever dicks?
Why not just 'smart arse'
Or 'wise guy'
Yet no 'wise woman'?
Not in the same sense
Being called a 'wise woman'
Is full of compliments!

Sea Side Frolics
I fell far North,
caught in a cradle of clouds, dunes, and an unexpected
human silence.
I wandered by day,
following the border of sea and land,
finding routes along lanes, roads, and field bound tracks.
At times, during dead winter nights,
I stood on my frosty balcony, staring into the pitch,
hearing only the nearby sea;
it has such a task,
rumbling all night, its roar heightened
in night’s quietude.
I perched on the margins of my world,
a pigeon, with wakeful eyes
scanning the...

Obelisks
Wintry tears drip deep
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits
into icy, dark waters
The stream is endless,
as she came to me in the form of paradise
As I envisioned
I made a decision
Wisdom floats
as infinity awaits

Three wishes...
I want to take Ed Sheeran to the planet
Mars and raise little cuddly puppy dogs.
Elon Musk - make my wish come true!
I want to dumb down all the people to
a mental stage close to Down Syndrome -
To make the world more peaceful.
Scientists? Do this and I'll pay you with sex!
I want the DEATH PENALTY back in all 50 states
and all around the world! But I get to flick the switch and decide who dies!!! It would be so awesome!
God? Do I have your fucking blessing on this?

No Teeth Of Wisdom
If i were wise (imagine!)
I'd hope
To have enough wisdom
To not question
The level of wisdom
I may have
(beggars can't be choosers!)
I blame the dentist!
