Getting The Nude On
As a family, we have our nude on. My family and extended family are wired to be free in nature. Birds do it and though you may not realize it, you learn from it. A sense of being free and a relationship with nature. Which brings with it a positive body image and higher self-esteem. In your own space and there, is no one to judge you because you are among like-minded people. It also gives you confidence. The same people who say, "I wouldn't do that," or the very same people who dream about it if they are honest with themselves. I find it hypocritical that we are all naked, proud, and free...

The Third Dead Bird
While driving to work earlier today, I came to a country road where a considerable gathering of birds were basking gleefully on the warm sun-enriched pavement. Hoping they would scatter and fly out of my way, as any wise bird usually does, I didn’t touch the brake. Regrettably, halfway through the flock an unlucky fledgling hit the grill of my car. In the rearview mirror, I saw that I had killed it, as it lay limp amidst its more-fortunate community members.
Returning down that road later in the day, the birds had settled again in my way. I drove cautiously this time as not to harm...

Anal Cabal
Prince Nala lie back
on an abaca hammock
enjoying fresh bacca
and masala under a gossamer
cabana aside the Ganges River—
natural light seeping
through its beautiful weave—
acacia-branched shadows
moving as smoke atop the fabric.
As servants tended blains
upon the soles of his feet,
he supped while contemplating
penning an alcaic verse
for his Princess Damayanti
( having been chosen
as her wedded husband
so many years ago...

Oppressed
Imagine
Being in whatever your favourite place is
Living in constant fear
That a bomb
May land on you
At any given moment
Night, or day
Day in, day out
Week in, week out
Whilst the entire infrastructure
Of where you live
Is gradually, and brutally
Eradicated
Little, or no food, or water
No medicines, for your son, or daughter
As the country you were born in
Becomes a wasteland
As clouds of oppression
Rains down on you daily
Where countries that could help you
Don't
As they have a vested...

I'm Sorry
I'm sorry Brandi,
How I wish I could go back to change the wrong things I put you through, and to make time rearrange.
I'm sorry for what my life, fears and screw-ups, have done to you, I simply rolled with what those fears handed me.
Yes I should have done more and not just let it be. I was so scared and didn't really know what to do.
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you like I should have been -there's no excuse for it.
Those wounds you bear may never mend and I live with that every day.
But that doesn't mean that I the love I feel for you isn't real....

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. ...

1205
Every night 1205 always wondered why
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe
I could just be
Every night one two three four
1205 check for movement 1 2 3 4
You couldn't yell at me at 1205
301 different story i'd pretend to be asleep
It never worked
You'd start a fight id cry
The dog would hide
1205 stayed up till 4 then went to sleep sleep till 12 12 was safe
1205 the time you'd begin to snore so i knew it was safe

WHEREVER YOU LEAD, I WILL FOLLOW
It's like I have made you with my very own hands
I want you to dance like I taught you every step
And my beacon will call you without any neglect
I want you standing tall even if you feel six feet deep
You're to send chills down spines with a confidence
That's more then just heard whenever you speak
I want your lips telling I’m the reason you breathe
I want for us to always slumber melded in peace
knowing you and God only know secrets I will keep
Let's build our foundation on prayer, faith, and trust
I...
