So life. ..
Confused yet so amused!
My advice. ..
Just be nice :)
Get real
Never steal
Say yes
Say no
Let it flow
Thou shalt not kill
Chill
Take a pill
Love or lust?
Turns to dust
Kiss
Pure bliss
But what will come of this?
Be nice
Give good advice
Think twice
Before you speak
Don't be weak
Or meek
Don't slack
And don't do crack!
Eat well
Look good
Go spend time in the woods
Peace and love
Rise above
Break rules ...

Why
Why!?
It’s the proverbial question isn’t it?
Why did this happen?
Why did you do what you did?
Why is this happening to me?
Why?
Maybe, instead of asking why,
We should be asking Why Not ?
Maybe that, is the right question.

Stories in the sands
Beneath feet that have walked
are the sand corns
benevolent in
trodden tundra twilight
I sense a numb knowing
Far from time
Looking at the sea
The salt reminds me
Of tears
Watching a documentary
About healing, where a woman
Screams in a therapy session
"I am so afraid, so afraid, so afraid
I don't know who I am without
my pain, without my shadow"
I breathe in silent air
Knowing that woman
Could have been me
As I dig my fingers into the sand
I release these...
are the sand corns
benevolent in
trodden tundra twilight
I sense a numb knowing
Far from time
Looking at the sea
The salt reminds me
Of tears
Watching a documentary
About healing, where a woman
Screams in a therapy session
"I am so afraid, so afraid, so afraid
I don't know who I am without
my pain, without my shadow"
I breathe in silent air
Knowing that woman
Could have been me
As I dig my fingers into the sand
I release these...

Pentecost Runes
Words in vests disrobe themselves along the town wind,
and the phonemes breath of squawks.
Bleeding rapture of swords above the clouds,
the period dials close out another sun.
Weaver, withdrawn into Ptolemaic decrees of transmobile stone,
the birds fall from an angel,
and the feathers dissipate through their paper folds
into jigsaw metaphor.
Reborn in hemlock pulp, the heresies blister in gold.
The enjambments strip into their twilight minx.
Stars emerge from the pupal moulds
as illiteracy collapses inward ...
and the phonemes breath of squawks.
Bleeding rapture of swords above the clouds,
the period dials close out another sun.
Weaver, withdrawn into Ptolemaic decrees of transmobile stone,
the birds fall from an angel,
and the feathers dissipate through their paper folds
into jigsaw metaphor.
Reborn in hemlock pulp, the heresies blister in gold.
The enjambments strip into their twilight minx.
Stars emerge from the pupal moulds
as illiteracy collapses inward ...

Possessed By Death
Flawed as I am yet forgiven to be refined
Filtering out my perspective till eyes unbind
When sight is a shackle to faith
All that is seen is just another state of blind
Broken world aged and decayed by time
Seeking faith without God in the confines of reason
The logic that you're partial to, worshipping the mind
Knowledge is power, even when that knowledge is a lie
Led to the gallows of deception
Leading by example, another way to die
Bartering your soul against the world and losing it all
Roulette lungs in routine,...

x.l.x...fireside conversations with aged cheese, sarcastic delicatessens and wine

untwining, clarifying one thousand and two mistakes,

The same room
I never understood,
How someone could miss someone while they're in the same room.
And now,
As I see you across from me.
In a room filled with people,
And I only notice you.
As I hear you laugh and see you smile,
Like you would do with me.
I still don't understand,
How someone could miss someone while they're in the same room.
How someone could miss someone while they're in the same room.
And now,
As I see you across from me.
In a room filled with people,
And I only notice you.
As I hear you laugh and see you smile,
Like you would do with me.
I still don't understand,
How someone could miss someone while they're in the same room.

Knowledge Lost
quatern
A scroll unread is knowledge lost
Our ignorance leads us astray
Our forebears never spared the cost
Their history can show the way…
Who mourns the loss of ancient text?
A scroll unread is knowledge lost
But current politics suggest
The human race cannot be taught!
The ancient wisdom, seldom sought
Of prophets, sages, men of old
A scroll unread is knowledge lost
The past, more valuable than gold!
A work undone is valueless
A love unsaid is harshly scoffed
A life unlived earns no redress ...
A scroll unread is knowledge lost

The ancient wisdom, seldom sought

A Leisurely Stroll Through The Valley
i'm not too deep i suppose
i gave you shallow waters for your benefit
cuz you had the habit of speaking in a forked tongue
riling my demon-titans
it's a vibe thing
you come off as anti-matter movement
emotional harasser
projecting restless nights
and shadowy dreams
looking for respite in someone
else's misery..
there's no mystery to you
you over played your hand
in the game of life
overstayed your welcome at emerald city
the color stained your soul's...
