Nothing More Than Minor Distractions
I know that some
of us guys
would go crazy
over some hot chick in
a bikini. But such
things are nothing more than
minor distractions to one like me.

Letters To Miki
My dearest Miki
Time is a paradox currently
as we balance our life-force between one another
You fighting to see another day
as I try and keep my mind to the task of getting to you,
living day by day, like it is the last chance
to speak to you on the phone, or to post some deadhead lyrics
on one another's facebook wall.
Perhaps, this is the last letter I post to you Miki
I know we will be together soon
walking Neruda through the misty night air, which path
do we take my love, left or right, or upside down,
back to...

She peels her skin off
Pencil Drawing, used charcoal for black in the end:
`~,,~`
The strange taste of your body’s tears
It fixates me,
In tunnel vision eyes of site
It begins,
Again,
To fade to black
Save for it;
```~~~...~~~```
In her disturbing Dark beauty,
She is peeling off her skin,
And I,
Nyctophiliac,
lost in mind in Juarez
during the summer time monsoon,
I stayed looking on
Her, ugly is beautiful
Her demons are depraved in a saintly way
...

Skoda 120l & i
A Skoda 120l. It wasn't so much that the car was bad, it was i who was bad.
It drove pretty well, engine in the back, fairly easy to fix, could even tighten the hand brake from inside the car by opening a panel between the back seats. Well, after a few months things started breaking down a bit, as they do and i didn't bother with the tough stuff, just did enough to keep it running. Winter came and i was still on my Yul Brynner tires, but nah, too expensive to buy new ones and i was a really good driver, or so i believed.
i wasn't happy with how it was running and...

Freedom of Thought and Expression
To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the right of the hearer as well as those of the speaker."
~Frederick Douglas
Any restriction of thought or speech violates the soul of mankind. Transcending we shall impeach and speak freely of our ideas. To sit above others in judgement upon a throne is an assault on any independent thought. Imagining to decide what is right or best for another based on a warped version of reality is overbearing and dictatorial. Freedom of opinion and expression is a right granted unto all. For one to disregard philosophies with...

A friend to miss
uhgggg my dearest strongbow ezzy bear.I find it so difficult to find a good place to start,because you were my special puppy and for 11 very special strong years we’ve never been apart,it’s only been one heart heavy day since you’ve been away and sadly a new year for me has already changed.
But I’ll do my best bubbas:(
Bubbas....You were always in the driveway waiting for me to get home,wagging your tail, it didn’t matter if it was raining or cold,you could always make me smile even if I was stuck in a dark and shitty place.
you brought me volume and sunshine when you barked...

The Adventures of Hoppity Hop (The Final Adventure)
3:00 am I wake to you passed out
in the corner where you slept
changing your food and water
I noticed there was no movement
your chest wasn’t moving
some see their animals as pets
to me you were my son
can’t have kids of my own
so when I held you for the first time
it made me smile
and everyday after
I was always happy to see you
you were hopping with joy
waiting for me to pet you
no one else could hold you
you never gave me any trouble
I feel bad, I could of done more
let you out on the...

I’m sorry
I’m sorry I made you love me
And now I with someone else
I’m sorry that you love me
And I love someone else
I’m sorry that im not what you though I was
I’m sorry that he has my hart
I just can’t give that up
I’m sorry that I put you in do much pain
I’m sorry that the love me and him share
Is more important to me
You just have to understand
That he makes me happy
And now I with someone else
I’m sorry that you love me
And I love someone else
I’m sorry that im not what you though I was
I’m sorry that he has my hart
I just can’t give that up
I’m sorry that I put you in do much pain

Is more important to me
You just have to understand

The Deterministic Multiverse Matrix
If one were capable of knowing everything. Everything that had ever happened, everywhere in the universe (and beyond the universe if it holds influence) Every single event, in infinitely minute detail. Then one would be able to accurately predict all future events in equally minute detail.
The practical application of that knowledge would give one the ability to shape a future with precision and certainty
But to truly know everything, one would have had to influence the system in every possible way. Effectively creating new universes and influence each new...

Antonio Lobo antunes
Antonio Lobo Antunes
Writes a chronicle, which he claims is about Nothing that, for us, ( Nothing ) encompasses a mountain of words
reflecting the need of the needs ofman
Antonio protested against the Portuguese wars in Africa
“ He was an officer in the army” sending innocent farm boys from the interior of Portugal who could hardly write and read, fighting for
a corrupt colonial power.
so many of them died for
a lost business opportunity for the powerful
For parents, a faded photograph of a soldier, a medal
for bravery, a letter written by...

Mental Agony
Every night I go to bed alone. I have a photo of us set up on the TV stand, angled towards my pillow so that I can see you every time I wake up, like before. I use your pillow to cuddle with and pretend in my mind that you’re still here and the pillow is actually you. I open my eyes and I see the hula girl pattern on your favorite pillowcase. Tears begin to well up behind my eyes. Sometimes I allow myself to cry deeply. Other times I force myself from shedding a tear.
I look around the apartment and it feels broken. I see the vacant areas in which your belongings used to reside....

POETRY'S FUN FACTS
Learning about some fun facts is very educational. You learn things you didn't know, and some are mind-blowing.
I decided to stick with poetry and discover other new truths about it. I found lots that left my mouth gaping.
Like understanding that poetry is actually from a Greek term poiesis, which means "making".
Poiesis has the meaning of making art or creating something in artistic form.
It’s a little like drawing, but with writing. The words used in poetry are often written differently than in actual text, so they make for a great way to learn. ...
