Kitchen Soliloquy
I'm finished.
I'm done in the kitchen.
Its late.
Have you ever
had a little
milk to yourself?

what if...nevermind (featuring 3rdEYErising)
I'm tired of the what if game
no longer willing to play
what did what if ever fix
wondering never undid shit
& I live in reality
where change occurs only by my actions
choices & behaviors adjusted
what if is a daydream I can't afford
a shapeless creation only affected by my imagination
if...I cause it to happen
take the clay of that daydream
& mold it into what I have in mind
what if is but a prompt
a kick in the ass
only as valuable as I choose to make it
but as an idle occupation...
...it's time...

We Just Learn To Breed What Fills The Soul Beyond Measure
Demise deviates from its route
When life clings to its smile
And love springs from its root
When the soul deluged by the Majestic Nile
*****
Pain is the pulse that shall not wane
Sight and super powers we derive
One of the signs one still sane
And the flames aglow and alive
*****
End not your world for a word
And feed not what cannot be fed
A word wraps a state while a whole is the world
Souls of Light have Love to nourish and spread
*****
How vain to confine the sight to a favourite...
When life clings to its smile
And love springs from its root
When the soul deluged by the Majestic Nile
*****
Pain is the pulse that shall not wane
Sight and super powers we derive
One of the signs one still sane
And the flames aglow and alive
*****
End not your world for a word
And feed not what cannot be fed
A word wraps a state while a whole is the world
Souls of Light have Love to nourish and spread
*****
How vain to confine the sight to a favourite...

From Today
I
I heard it calling deftly,
this inner resevoir
of all I had overlooked
and simply ignored
though it swallowed me;
corroding my innermost reaches.
Its voice was wavering
giving me no assurance
that it would contain me fully
and teach me anything
I wouldn't learn by
easing into something
new.
I took an unnerving swan dive
and swam into a vastness,
my perceptions clouded
until I only felt a tingle
of the deftest poisons buoyancy
amidst glittering foam.

what are you waiting for?
Come on, go fight...
if life only gives you lemons
squeeze them into other people's eyes...

3 seconds of thought
wisdom?
no i am not she.
that was dumb, why did i do that?
they know i’m stupid now.
that was rude, why did i say that?
that probably hurt their feelings.
i have been so much for so many,
do i have to be wise?
must i be friend?
can i be lover?
will i be successful?
am i perfect?
goodnight.
each wake i savor the seconds of pure me,
when i am nothing and only myself!
then i hear it all.
mouths around me yelling, screaming, crying, laughing.
they are hungry. ravenous. ...

balanced duality and dichotomy
help me peel back the layers and unmask,
unwind with me as I lounge in the foliage of fall,
be my partner in this beloved folie à deux.
enjoy your time and ride this coaster of emotion.
hurtle forward, drop your gut on the loop, and slingshot backwards.
ride it once and know what to do, nothing new to expect.
except this coaster shows a pattern,
a bigger cycle; fall down 7, get up 8,
it must be fate these missteps won't abate.
depressed, manic, stable
manic, depressed,...

a delicate balance
Talent is God-given: be humble. Fame is man-given: be grateful.
Conceit is self-given: be careful."―John Wooden
all's not fair in love and war;
each may leave a deadly scar.
even Christ, upon the Cross,
suffered, for His love, great loss.
tread with care in right and wrong;
you may sing a different song,
if the confidence you boast
finds you sleeping at your post.
let loud laughter and soft tears
never find you in arrears;
celebrate with those who joy,
shed a tear with those who cry....

olive tree
peace, wealth, prosperity
wisdom, harmony, reconciliation,
love
when an olive tree appears in your life it signifies a time of awakening and having peace within.
an olive tree is the alignment of mind, body, and spirit through life renewal and growth.
it is the tree of life and it is hope.
the olive tree is a towering figure of beauty and elegance.
while its branches embody peace,
its roots represent strength and regeneration,
and its leaves exemplify eternity in fertility.
to have an olive tree is to have peace and a life...

profundity of kitty litter
one of the most profound things she ever said in my presence
had nothing (& everything) to do with life
my little sister is a wealth of unexpected knowledge
but this statement has always stuck in my mind
we were sharing a house at the time
splitting household chores & expenses
among them...4 cats between us
she came home one day with a new kind of kitty litter
scoopable...which wasn't a thing until then
I watched as she filled the box
then frowned when she pulled out a soup ladle
placing it neatly in a jar beside the pan ...

Cognisance
Loneliness hits
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all

the dichotomy of jacob
solemn yet humorous.
diffident yet passionate.
two parts of one whole.
there's strength in the struggle,
pride in the humility,
and laughter in the rain.
a man open to the joys of life, but remains guarded and cautious.
a man with so much to give, but hesitant to receive.
a man drowning, but trying.
past vs present,
now vs tomorrow,
today is the day,
live openly, live freely.
be proud,
you are here.
