Life ( String of Tanka)
Live for a reason
Discover your life's purpose
Bring meaning to life
You do not merely exist
You're part of His grand design
Your life is precious
Every beating of your heart
Every breath you take
Is a gift, a testament
Of His steadfast love for you
Don't give in to pain
Don't fall to life's trickery
Some are illusions
That keep you from finding
Your purpose for living
Life is not perfect
It's not a bed of roses
Of your dreams and fantasies
It is full of thorns that draws

doing no wrong like them
You saw them share the quote
Those who mind don’t matter
And them that matter don’t mind
They’re all hypocrites
who contradict themselves
Those who mind don’t matter
And them that matter don’t mind
They’re all hypocrites
who contradict themselves

The Life of a Writer
Black roses bloom,
As the animals await human-kind's doom.
Bakers create the sweets that rot our teeth,
Butchers hang the dripping meats like a wreath,
Doctors search through the parts of us, looking for problems,
As cullers search all their items.
The plans, some devise,
With their new guise,
Shape-shifting and tricking the past, by making a new back-story,
To escape their purgatory.
To dispose of, some believe is the only way out,
To end others, to let their story play out.
Bleeding ink so intense it makes yourself...
As the animals await human-kind's doom.
Bakers create the sweets that rot our teeth,
Butchers hang the dripping meats like a wreath,
Doctors search through the parts of us, looking for problems,
As cullers search all their items.
The plans, some devise,
With their new guise,
Shape-shifting and tricking the past, by making a new back-story,
To escape their purgatory.
To dispose of, some believe is the only way out,
To end others, to let their story play out.
Bleeding ink so intense it makes yourself...

Out Dated
Her laughter is as contagious as viral videos or memes, outrageously inflected with all manner of isms hysterical. Though never having witnessed a moose hiccupping amidst a fit of inverted sneezes, this might be the closest thing. And judging by the snorts, it appears her sense of propiety effortlessly aborts, but I'm guessing only those with low self esteem would throttle their own throated screams out of concern for what conservatives think. This gal must be their worst nightmare come true in spaghetti strapped evening attire. I wouldn't be surprised if either of those C cups flopped out...

Lost Girl Found
Spying her from across the room
A glow amongst the crowded room
Captivated
Sitting alone, her head turned...
towards an imaginary horizon
Lost in...
a thought?
a moment?
Pondering an event from today?
Pondering a goal, a destination?
Mustering up the courage he walked over
“Hello” breaking her thought
“I couldn't help but notice you and got to thinking
So here is my name, number,
Maybe we could go by Timmy's sometime
grab a drink and talk about...
A glow amongst the crowded room
Captivated
Sitting alone, her head turned...
towards an imaginary horizon
Lost in...

a moment?
Pondering an event from today?

Mustering up the courage he walked over

Thalassophile
I’ve always lived near the shoreline
grew up swimming in the sea
though I prefer Gaia’s Forests
Her oceans I hold an affinity
Collected empty seashells
danced upon hot sandy beaches
played in coral pocket wells
snorkeled to see how deep it is
I must be a hopeful romantic
lover who delights in salted seas
appreciates the calm & violent
oceans’ stormy personalities
Yes, i
almost always lived near
a seasoned waters' edge
played with hermit crabs
tried to catch jellyfishes

Deep Cuts
I'll never understand why masturbation is frowned upon.
I was in a six and a half year long relationship
and it was the only consistent part of my life.
It came to be the best part about it honestly.

Did I just make a meta joke?

SOLITUDE OF NIGHT SHADE
From my mind as I stop look and listen to the tranquilness that surrounds me as I stare up at the ceiling above as my mind drifts with each, silhouette of images creating shadows as night whispers through the night air revealing a calmness even to my soul of my being.
For as I become so very mesmerize by this atmosphere within the dead of night as its mere existences captures, the very deepness and depth of my...

Coddiwomple ( after Theodor [Dr] Seuss Geisel )
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!
Is “Right” the greater arrow?
Or “Left” the lesser narrow?!
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Hello! Hello!
This is...
Despite what you don’t know!
Don't worry now -
it's impossible to lose!
Hello! Hello!
It’s time to go – don’t doubt yourself!
Jump right up and step on out!
You may not know
which road to trust - but
Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
You’re Coddiwomple-confused!
Being so little so long!
But time has come to choose!

Silent light
Evening casting silence on a fading day
the sun's light now to a whispering,
life returns whence I do not know
not mine to understand.
Perhaps I slept missed that which
was news and should have stayed,
knowledge lost before I knew,
knowledge is a knowing to be sought
searched and sought before its knowing.
Here daylight dies, earth in silence.
I did not listen, too late light is fading. No! .... ...
not too late ... ... ... there is time.
Earth spins, here are echoes, ...
the sun's light now to a whispering,
life returns whence I do not know
not mine to understand.
Perhaps I slept missed that which
was news and should have stayed,
knowledge lost before I knew,
knowledge is a knowing to be sought
searched and sought before its knowing.
Here daylight dies, earth in silence.
I did not listen, too late light is fading. No! .... ...
not too late ... ... ... there is time.
Earth spins, here are echoes, ...
