Watt I Am Eye See The Light
Bereft What Is Left After Fight For Right
Plight Of Darkness Starkness In The Light
Envision The Romance Yet Dance Of Division
Collision Split Decision Subdivision Retrovision
Conversion Reversion And Inversion Diversion
Submersion Into Immersion I Am Introversion
Aversion To Aspersion Incursion To Coercion
Assertion By Exertion Becomes Inversion Excursion

Silent words, in some empty place.
The poet waited for attention, or praise,
but his misunderstood metaphors
muddled the page,
with deficient similes,
benign and befuddled.
The themes were too vague,
the ambition wasted,
and time has sadly expired.
Each word will lay
In a grammatical grave
never coming to fruition
in a poem-lovers eyes;
it died in a hidden place,
disturbingly quiet,
like some botched poetic stillborn.
but his misunderstood metaphors
muddled the page,
with deficient similes,
benign and befuddled.
The themes were too vague,
the ambition wasted,
and time has sadly expired.
Each word will lay
In a grammatical grave
never coming to fruition
in a poem-lovers eyes;
it died in a hidden place,
disturbingly quiet,
like some botched poetic stillborn.

Absence of Empathy
I climb on an ant hill
of clichés and over used words
I muse till I abuse
lacking language
content with egos praise
old ladies seduced
depends leaking in excitement
silently I get off
my persona looks nice
in black and white
as mug shots do
I live with the carnival of clowns
with whom we all think
we can write and dance
oh but all I do
is shit in others pants
content
knowing tulips will
never be deceived
of clichés and over used words
I muse till I abuse
lacking language
content with egos praise
old ladies seduced
depends leaking in excitement
silently I get off
my persona looks nice
in black and white
as mug shots do
I live with the carnival of clowns
with whom we all think
we can write and dance
oh but all I do
is shit in others pants
content
knowing tulips will
never be deceived

Apologies for My Children
Explain yourself
mocking crowds
call out to me
Why so many kids?
My answers change
with the years
yet I remain sincere
Here's a new one:
What if you had
two kids
who were so much trouble
you had to
have as many as possible
thereafter
just to overcome
the damage
the first two did?
What if
your planet was dying
like your family tree?
Breed an answer
...if you dare
mocking crowds
call out to me
Why so many kids?
My answers change
with the years
yet I remain sincere
Here's a new one:
What if you had
two kids
who were so much trouble
you had to
have as many as possible
thereafter
just to overcome

Atmospheric Lyrics Surround Caress
I Relate Create Twist My Fate Thread Thrice
I Refuse To Lose I Don't Have To Be Nice
Better Than I Was Yesterday Just My Device
Feel The Words Once Unheard Now They Entice
They Wrap Around With Tragic Magic Sound
Then Lift From Ground Where I Am Found Bound
Spread Wings Sing And Dance Trance On Mound
Got The Notion Of The Motion Tongue Profound
Rip Then Rend Veils Of Darkness I Must Confess
I Acquiesce Outguess Impress Just My Progress
Digress , Repress , SOS , Convalesce , More Or...

I am a king
I am a king, am royal.
Genealogy written with spirit not ink
Not the normal type you think.
So even if you find no physical link
I remain king.
I am a king, am aristocratic.
Kingdom without borders or fences
No limitations or boundaries.
In the office, field and buildings,
I remain king.
I am a king, am regal.
Even though I earn less than minimum wage
And you feel I have achieved little for my age
And all my assests listed fill not a page
I remain king.

She
She’s in me
A friend, a sister, a potentia
She is the younger me
She is the older me
She is the braver me
She is the wiser me
She is the hostess in the dreamland at night
She is the guide through deserts in the day
When she opens her eyes in me, I know
Because the city looks different
The trap of steel and concrete has become
A forest rich of manifestations and signs
Sunlight kisses me, leaves dancing
People passing by like vessels on the sea
Their journey is not under the foot
But deep down beneath the surface ...
A friend, a sister, a potentia
She is the younger me
She is the older me
She is the braver me
She is the wiser me
She is the hostess in the dreamland at night
She is the guide through deserts in the day
When she opens her eyes in me, I know
Because the city looks different
The trap of steel and concrete has become
A forest rich of manifestations and signs
Sunlight kisses me, leaves dancing
People passing by like vessels on the sea
Their journey is not under the foot
But deep down beneath the surface ...

Those Colorful Puzzle Pieces
I've noticed and been told,
By my mother who truth be told,
Most days,
Feels and acts in the same ways,
But does not have the same processes
To get to the relatively same outcomes, or feelings about things as me (it's hopeless
To try and understand her thought processes),
That I might be on the autism spectrum because of my thought processes.
The way I experience the world with so much more intensity,
Every color, every color scheme, pattern, texture, artwork, art motif, long/unusal/archaic/scientific/magickal word,
Cutting through...

New Identity....
Swallowed up by the darkness
She’s gone
Who is she
I don’t even recognize her anymore
This new identity
I take a glance at the mirror
Looking for anything familiar
I see a faint resemblance
Of who she was
But
Not enough to claim her
I look in her eyes
And I see bitterness
Anger
Hurt
And a shit load of regrets
Once upon a time
I was able to encourage her
Help her see the silver lining
But,
It’s as if I have gone mute
Because the words just won’t come
So I can’t be a...

Masonic Bliss Or What Is This ?
Submit ?
Never , Not Ever Yet I Shall Post What I Writ ,
Upon The Open Spit Fire Of Existence's Pyre ,
Not In Desire Still Yet Deep In Determination
Holding One's Own As Knowing One's Station
One's Infatuation With A Cause Without Pause
Giving One Awe In One's Love's Chosen Relation
And This We Call , Through The All Vast Inspiration
That Which Is Polished , Yet That Which The Raw Is
And That Acknowledged Is The Grand Architect's Kiss
Never , Not Ever Yet I Shall Post What I Writ ,

Label-love in art form
we call this poetry
Label we ourselves
as though words
must grow on trees
My labels change
With new self knowing
I harvest my own
words worth growing
So far I think myself
a painful gain
My words keep falling
With the constant rain
I once spoke of glowing
Sunrise, sunset, color rainbows
A bright and hopeful writer
that was me
My joy still peaks out into view
Yet still a sadder me for you
I wear bright war paint ...
