as so often happens
she just proved that old adage
{maybe it's just a joke...I don't know}
but it's so frequent I think it should be
...more than just accepted as a maxim
I opened my mouth
& my mother came out
it used to drive her crazy
not so much anymore
as she's seeing firsthand
the wisdom in what she's saying
was once heard emitting from my lips...previously
& sometimes we speak...
...in stereo
{I giggle}
while she rolls her eyes & purses her lips ...

I can't say this is about you but you know it is ....
I feel close to you
Often
Even in turmoil
I'm bound by your near smile
It illuminates a path
One day there will be glory
Until then
I'm your mentor
Wise ?
Sometimes
In desire ?
Almost always
Your time ?
Precious stones

Perpetual Seeker
I don’t know” is the challenge
a return to childlike innocence
“I don’t know, but I’ll find out” is challenge accepted
awakens the inner detective, researcher, puzzle solver
“To the best of my knowledge” is the reward
praying that my curiosity hunger is never satisfied,
that my thirst for knowledge never abates
that my honest lack of education
will forever supersede my pride
knowing everything, where’s the fun in that
a return to childlike innocence
“I don’t know, but I’ll find out” is challenge accepted
awakens the inner detective, researcher, puzzle solver
“To the best of my knowledge” is the reward
praying that my curiosity hunger is never satisfied,
that my thirst for knowledge never abates
that my honest lack of education
will forever supersede my pride
knowing everything, where’s the fun in that

In The Prophesy Of Resurrection (COTS)
Humanity you sit in the circle of blessed miracles, my helm, have been reached
My universal most trusted infinitive disciples may the gospel of the truth you must always preach
Is the hindrance of your thoughts, Judas cascaded in envy to be
I am exalted and you are the roaring echoes of ripple currents found in the depths of a darken unmovable sea
Lost in the cyclone when trying to define what the minds cannot understand in the quietness of its mental euphoric elements of divine degrees

Pay attention.
If you don't watch where your mind goes you will almost certainly lose it.

Genesis
I am the wind beneath blowing at Hell’s feet
When Demons come to the roundtable to greet
My sword’s tip ingrained in the wood
No permission granted in earthly rest until the understating of man’s devious plight is understood
Spells I ordained, your souls blended to entertain
Who dare deny the force of the afterlife, when it resides in me
The spiritual prodigy born with a discerning third eye
My heart, mind, soul manifested to obey unto man’s purgatory just to appease
Can bridge one moment to the next glimpsed of...

Afterglow
I’m feeling so good, since I up and flew out the pin.
Feeling alive and so free, like I can breathe again.
I took a walk with my swimming thoughts and thought about how I should live.
Then I noticed that it’s mostly myself that I seem to struggle with.
A problem in you, is a problem I feel in me
With all the cameras in the world, how come we still don’t see?
That what you put out, tends to come around back to you.
And the things we see online, tend to always blur the truth.
Oh, oh yeah, afterglow..
If I knew then, what I...

When We Learned What We Learned
When you were glitter and sparkles
When you were new and not fully known
When I presented my best side
When you were fantasies and dreams
When you were all I ever wanted and so out of reach
When you first touched my hand and it was electric
When I got brave enough and stole a kiss that got the ball rolling
When we fussed and fought getting to know each other
When we made up and let love prevail
When the shine was still bright enough that we wanted a life together
When we got married and you moved in

Winter Solstice
So many young lives I have been a Nightingale unto, nursing wicked choices
Trying to find that beautiful spark in the dark, somewhat opened eyes, bathed in stone hearts, give rises to maddening voices
Changed in the matter of moments with treating the elements of a torn soul
In the cradle of time my pouring streams never cease its universal flow
It patrols on within the depths by my Creator, blessed on the current where it softly consoles
Regrets confessed from mouths, praying, hoping, humanity needing to be reassured lifespan will get...

Porcelain Dreams
Empty days drift in a world made of smoke and disguise,
Made-up lies, a life of despise while she hides.
A castle of echoes, a throne built on fantasy,
Her lack of reality—this is her majesty.
A queen in her kingdom of neon-lit haze,
Words set relationships ablaze,
Pretending to raise while seeking pity then praise.
Where nothing is real, yet she basks in the sunlight, acts brave.
She dances with thoughts of grand junction, whispers her name—total dysfunction.
Plays puppets with fate in her self-written game.
Muppets...

Out of the Cold
Well done
collecting the best burning wood
tinder to fuel your fire
wisdom, love, compassion, camaraderie
that when ignited will set ablaze action
Be encouraged by intellectual progress
be strengthened by new spiritual insight
however, don’t keep it stacked too long
sitting unused beside your hearth
arrange it carefully in your firebox
add pages filled with words of wisdom for kindling
simply strike the match and light your passion
warming heart and soul,
awakening to service feet and hands
