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!

GLASS AND STONES
As our lives entwine as ONE, let us not be afraid of this journey that just the two of US are about to take, through mere thoughts of manifestion of our most deepest and precious, thoughts of how we truly feel about one another as one man to one woman. For as our very symmetries of lines in line, like an symbol of equal balance like an majesty exposure of what love is truly all about deep within side of our mind and heart. For as we go where know one dared to go before, let us uncover the depth of our hurt and pain together as ONE, as we heal each other together as one man and one woman for...

Burdened Wings
Why is it that
so many things
have blackened our wings
soot weighing us heavy
Stuck here it seems
on this muddied ground
without a lost and found
or any warm safe refuge
So we started this way
each on a different day
the oddest of paths crossing
at a fated junction
Not by chance
nor by mistake
both meant to take
this poetic journey ... together
Still who could ever know
why a black feathered crow
would meet this...

Nice Guys Finish Last
Nice guys or Bad boys
What do women want!
We do not know
So be yourself
Fight for love
Love will set you free
So that you:
Can Enjoy Love
As many times possible
What do women want!
We do not know
So be yourself
Fight for love
Love will set you free
So that you:
Can Enjoy Love

Sur render
Sir Knight,
it feels so good to erase the
heroically tragic
( or perhaps
tragically heroic )
Past
where the iron of Trust
oxidizes if one lingers too long
There is no coming back
from the ravaging cancer
dissed rust is
lest it firstly consume
your armor and sword
rendering you exposed
naked upon the battlefield
laying down your arms
in complete surrender
to the moment
it feels so good to erase the
heroically tragic
( or perhaps
tragically heroic )
Past
where the iron of Trust
oxidizes if one lingers too long
There is no coming back
from the ravaging cancer
dissed rust is
lest it firstly consume
your armor and sword
rendering you exposed
naked upon the battlefield
laying down your arms
in complete surrender
to the moment

A Poem for Terrible Poets
Delusional...
...just maybe
but with my page-worm
eye
I surely spot those
terrible poets
Maybe I should come clean...
I think terrible poets
are the very best
so full of potential!
they think they
have room to grow!
If you are a terrible poet,
or just a beginner
It makes no difference
...in fact
(Usually those two things
are one and the same...)
Maybe I just think you're terrible
But that's like chubby-me getting
winded at the gym ...

United, We Stand
May we stand together in gentle harmony;
As members of the human race,
It’s time to abandon our mental armory,
Amidst this crisis that we face.
With 99.9% genetic similarity,
It’s absurd that we still ostracize;
With our pathetic insularity,
That we can’t seem to compromise.
We’re divided by ethnicity,
And ripped apart by races;
With no sign of our complicity,
But the color of our faces.
We’re divided in our politics,
Pitted as enemies against our brothers;
Instead of embracing similarities,
We see a...

As Is
I may be missing a couple of buttons
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest
trend
But I’m comfortable and welcoming...like an
old
friend
My zipper might be missing some teeth
But my fabric is soft...and warm like a
sheath
I may not be flashy nor shiny and bright
Not even close to the latest

Of Breath and Light
I am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.” Hafiz
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...
It is not the mind
That breathes
The body
It is nature
That breathes
Light sparkles in the sky
Between the stillness
Of a tree
And the stillness
Of God
Is
I
Myself
And
Me
Clouds drift across the moon
When I look
Into the eyes
Of my cat
They look
Back
Completely
When my cat
Looks away
He looks away
Completely ...

Promise I - prelude
She runs, with all her heart, to the tall trees;
She skips across the meadow; her delight
Is tangible – she’s eating air – she sees
The stars shine out above – eternity
Seems brighter when she loses all control;
She lets exhilaration rule her roost;
When running on the grass, she’s like a foal
Who’s graceful, full of wonder; she can boost
Her own morale; she floats across the fields
And finds her destination is desire
To see things differently, as she yields
To new perspectives; and the pricks of fire,
High in the midnight sky, will play their...

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
