The moment of my death.
The kayak is light and so is the equipment.
I carefully Swim here,
where it's quiet and smooth.
I can't swim over the rapids though.
Now it’s time to go forward again.
Getting back into the kayak.
Seeing the violence that lays ahead.
As it calls to me in loud crashes...
But somehow suddenly the current picked up,
Although I rowed back rather,
It was too late. Dragged with force
And threw to the rapids in the waterfall.
Now no options. Only forward.
No fights, no regrets.
There is no other way, there are...
I carefully Swim here,
where it's quiet and smooth.
I can't swim over the rapids though.
Now it’s time to go forward again.
Getting back into the kayak.
Seeing the violence that lays ahead.
As it calls to me in loud crashes...
But somehow suddenly the current picked up,
Although I rowed back rather,
It was too late. Dragged with force
And threw to the rapids in the waterfall.
Now no options. Only forward.
No fights, no regrets.
There is no other way, there are...

The Clock and The Ferryman
What price will i pay
As the Ferryman rows
He accepts my coin
my purse feels light
i am apportioned
my number of minutes
How did i use them
i won’t be spared
The greatest equalizer
Row Ferryman, row
The clock advances
The ticking seems louder
Am i afraid?
Only, for whom i’ve offended
As the Ferryman rows
He accepts my coin
my purse feels light
i am apportioned
my number of minutes
How did i use them
i won’t be spared
The greatest equalizer
Row Ferryman, row
The clock advances
The ticking seems louder
Am i afraid?
Only, for whom i’ve offended

Fairy tail...
Tell me, you really love this very much -
When your lips go down,
And my body trembles for your answer,
Encouragement to lean a little closer?
Tell me, do you love timid caresses
That captivate with a wave of anticipation?
The taste of the nectar of natural lubrication
Absorb at the moment of temptation?
Tell me, do you like to be in the arms,
What they grip violently in passion,
Tearing tight clothes with your hands,
How do they remove the age-old curse from the soul?
Well, from above, tell me, be fine?
Like a...

SHE is a rebel by nature...
SHE is a rebel by nature,
a Shrew only for HIM.
His eyes, his figure, muscles -
They are dearer to her than anything.
SHE is a desert without rain,
And for her, HE, like a spring,
Will draw paths with moisture.
HE is a guide to the thirst for life.
SHE is calm as a lioness,
HE is a recalcitrant mountain lion.
Inside her, the volcano lava builds -
And this is her passion and anger.
SHE is still waiting, burning inside,
And an explosion will be inevitable...
Only in her magma, expiring, ...
a Shrew only for HIM.
His eyes, his figure, muscles -
They are dearer to her than anything.
SHE is a desert without rain,
And for her, HE, like a spring,
Will draw paths with moisture.
HE is a guide to the thirst for life.

And this is her passion and anger.

And an explosion will be inevitable...

Crying
you don't see my tears
somehow you know anyway
that I am crying

Black Swans: We are the Inevitable
They want to shoot us
From a distance
High powered rifle
Only cowards can afford
Black sheep
Black swans
Black dogs
Nobody wants them
So we want ourselves
Outcasts, misfits, beautiful
Literary giants
Venus rising, small pond

What I woke up with ....
Be elegant
Be kind
Put up with my sexual desires
Create
Make bacon and eggs, toast
Drink whiskey with me
That's about it
Be kind
Put up with my sexual desires
Create
Make bacon and eggs, toast
Drink whiskey with me
That's about it

Glow
Soul clutching
Attached to your struggle
I'm in the moonlight with you
We're glowing
Ran the numbers
17 was expected
37 and 38 were on the table
38 selected gleefully
Next selections
13 and 93
47 and 109 rejected
9 was a consideration
Took the offer of 93
Can change later
38 + 93 = 131
Positive numerology I'm told
Attached to your struggle
I'm in the moonlight with you
We're glowing
Ran the numbers
17 was expected
37 and 38 were on the table
38 selected gleefully
Next selections
13 and 93
47 and 109 rejected
9 was a consideration
Took the offer of 93
Can change later
38 + 93 = 131
Positive numerology I'm told

When all else fails I go back to art …
Things have been a push lately
November always hits me hard
It’s then I go back to basics
A craft I call home ….

By Popular Demand, Art is Back …
Some have requested it
Others wondering where it went
Still others just like it
So without further adieu ….

Cancer Free
This is my first anniversary
Of the year cancer could have got me
I carried pain nobody could see
Dire news had befallen me
I cried to the Gods, “how could this be?”
“It’s your test,” they replied to me
Learn to accept that your family
Can only be what they can be
Accept all the changes that would accompany
What happens as cancer claims your body
Believe in something you can’t see
Something to remove the guilt that you carry
I came to a place where I could believe
That life had more to offer...
Of the year cancer could have got me
I carried pain nobody could see
Dire news had befallen me
I cried to the Gods, “how could this be?”
“It’s your test,” they replied to me
Learn to accept that your family
Can only be what they can be
Accept all the changes that would accompany
What happens as cancer claims your body
Believe in something you can’t see
Something to remove the guilt that you carry
I came to a place where I could believe
That life had more to offer...

I want to watch you take a shit
It's totally personal
Nobody talks about this
I do
I wanna watch
Hear some grunts
See how long it takes
Wonder if you take your phone with you
I have lots of questions
You ready ?
