Mojo Regained
You have no power here
Only what I give you
So I don’t
I’ve got my ruby boots
You can shrivel up now
Off with you
Those memories are nice
Leave them where they should be
In the past
I’ve got some shit to do
No time left for crying
Here we go
Only what I give you
So I don’t
I’ve got my ruby boots
You can shrivel up now
Off with you
Those memories are nice
Leave them where they should be
In the past
I’ve got some shit to do
No time left for crying
Here we go

Hidden Scenes
There's that moment when you're awake
a realization begins to dawn
echoing the sun’s faint beams
something happened inside of dreams
you’d best keep it to yourself
so says the voice that’s not contrite
reflecting on the hidden scenes
beneath the balm of measured sleep
if only the face was reticent
muting journeys beyond the veil
instead betrayal is exclaimed
others asking why the grin
the prohibited draws a smile
taboo is best when indulged
without regard for consequence
when the illicit is made real ...

Rainbow Mind
I feel Her colors
when it rains.
I feel Her breaking free
drowning Her pains,
I feel Her in me.
I feel me in Her
becoming alight,
evoking Herself to
light up the night;
She is Heaven's bliss.
She is in me
becoming my voice,
I write from Her soul
becoming her choice;
We are the same voice.
Here within a rainbow mind
the sun is shining
all the time.
We are as one,
we sing in kind;
a rainbow vision,
colorblind.
.....

Maybe one day we'll wake up, see the sun and bask in it's beauty. At night we'll gaze at the stars , admiring their light. I'll Love every second my friend, because it'll be with you.

for you, who cuts his grass at 9pm
I wanted to
write you a love poem,
something
that would express
and/or invoke one
single human emotion
from me …
but truth be told, luv
that I was like a mad woman
raping paper with ink;
severing verses; slashing into words;
hurling vowels across
the room; cursing the phonetics
of poetry; ploughing through
the depths of my cerebral
in search of that one poem
I may have sub'consciously institutionalized
because somewhere, somehow
I knew this day
would come and I would be ...

The abandoned
They left for a reason
Dont bring upon yourself treason
Some reasons, you may never know
However this does not obscure
An opportunity to grow
Grow as a person
Dismissing others submersion
For that is the version of you
We all wish to know
Dont bring upon yourself treason
Some reasons, you may never know
However this does not obscure
An opportunity to grow
Grow as a person
Dismissing others submersion
For that is the version of you
We all wish to know

MY STAR
I was a child when I first met you in my dreams
Free playing by the river, catching the tadpoles in your tiny hands
Insisting the birds and butterflies were yours to care for, that they spoke with you
Loved by you as you were their princess, to care for all of the creatures to weak to care for themselves
You insisted on making by hand a home for the fairies to land
Gathering the twigs and leaves,the greenest grass, the longest blades
Soft enough to make natures angels a place where when you went to care for them they had a place to sleep, a place they could call...
Free playing by the river, catching the tadpoles in your tiny hands
Insisting the birds and butterflies were yours to care for, that they spoke with you
Loved by you as you were their princess, to care for all of the creatures to weak to care for themselves
You insisted on making by hand a home for the fairies to land
Gathering the twigs and leaves,the greenest grass, the longest blades

THE CROWN OF BOLDNESS
THE CROWN OF BOLDNESS
Life is not a dream of nonsense,
you can see just in your sleep.
Life is real ; ask who have won
greatest places in war fields.
Life for some men is a venture ;
they do all that can be done.
They with tranquil heart will wait for
what the consequence can gain.
Life gives great respect for all those
who reveal courage and force,
scorn for those who crave for sure ends
if those ends are low and mean.
Boldness is my aim and purpose
as it has the glorious crown.
Once you wear it, you...

Soul Winds
Every chance it gets, life blows it’s winds at my soul.
Sometimes, the winds completely fill my sails and pushes my soul joyously and effortlessly forward, with a smile on my face and peace in my heart.
Sometimes, the wind blows against me hard and pushes me backwards, while pelting my soul with the rain and hail stones of doubt and discomfort.
But, irrelevant to the direction in which life’s winds are pushing my soul, I know that every single storm exists for a reason and has a designed purpose to move in a direction that inevitably helps me grow.
Sometimes, the winds completely fill my sails and pushes my soul joyously and effortlessly forward, with a smile on my face and peace in my heart.
Sometimes, the wind blows against me hard and pushes me backwards, while pelting my soul with the rain and hail stones of doubt and discomfort.
But, irrelevant to the direction in which life’s winds are pushing my soul, I know that every single storm exists for a reason and has a designed purpose to move in a direction that inevitably helps me grow.

Like Opening A Closure
up standing stood standing up
(for whatever reason)
poised
for a Falstaffian jolly'time
roar puts
dybbuk in it's proper'd
place thru seven
years
of long strands of gutteral music and
coins in a can making so
distinctive the sound of imbecile
survival...........
now, (a'now ) could there be a future
other than "my delusion" thereof ?
that will return the left-behind pieces ?
of "me" to the singin', swingin long-handed...

Cold
Cold to the touch
Shoulders, holding you up
Weight of the world
Close to folding you up
Told: you aren’t enough
Sold a bolder bluff
Soldier on, roll up a blunt and puff
Hold a hope for love
Show that you can cope with the rough
Unload the boulders off
The load is dropped
The stones are gone
Your soul is longing for the stronger stuff
Can’t break the cuffs
Can’t make this up
You gave every last drop
your gut could muster up
Don’t fluster, trust you got this
Hush your little lips
Pat...
