The silhouette of a fallen man lay on the vertical horizon ¬–watch the Moon light the way Vultures howl at the hint of Death –Dead men are deaf, on the vertical horizon Some light will always shine through a closed curtain –open up and let it all in Dilation ensures that the waters are steady but on the vertical horizon, nothing is certain A silhouette of descending doves falls onto the ground –watch the Moon shed his tears Poachers of Peace ascend the vertical horizon, now presuming the ultimate power of God Only Time will tell if they were right or wrong But patience is virtuous and this won’t take very long The silhouette of a fallen man lay on the vertical horizon –imagine that his soul is free His figure parts into a million grieving doves, ascending beyond the brim of the vertical horizon Only Time will tell if he was right or wrong But patience is a virtue and this won’t take very long

The Vertical Horizon
I am a prism. I refract the simplicities of life into rainbowic expression. I defract the color of my skill into honorable modesty. I am a prism.

These sunny, summer days remind me of you. They remind me of the wonderful days you spent                  in my arms and in my heart. Oh, I would give anything to make this explosive                  nostalgia reality once again. I need only one more day with you; But, hell? who am I kidding? One day is not enough. A lifetime isn't enough with someone who amounts                 to such an incredulous beauty as                 yourself. I can't help but miss you dearly. I can't help but to cry. I can't help but ponder on your permanent departure                  from the physical realm that we know                  as LIFE. I should be proud of you -- well, I am -- but my arrogance                 tells me to mourn; so what do I do? I mourn, and I mourn, and I mourn some more. I am struck by the mourningful remembrance of your eccentric                  existence and of my experience with it. But I know that one day all of these memories will bring upon                 the polar opposite of the feelings they                 trigger today. That is Happiness. I will be happy. As a matter of fact, I am happy. I am happy that your everlasting fight was began, was                  endured, and was ended with a smile. I am happy for the cease of your suffering. I am happy that you are no longer a victim for the trauma                  that comes with living. I am happy for the infinite hearts and souls that you touched                 with your aspiring inspiration. I am happy to have, at a point in time, been one of the few and                  only who you encased in your affectionate                  passion, and ,with a bit of luck, changed my                  life forever. But to speak the least, I am happy for YOU Breathe Easy Alexandria

Oh, smooth, smooth unity A stylistic rhythm penetrates the boundaries of the world's appraisal of orthodoxy AVANT-GARDE Lively arpeggios and Righteous time lift the soul with tones of emotion LANQUIDITY Transitions that manifest an endless terrain of flowing continuity BLISS An orange kite swiftly descends from the ominous, yellow skies Spontaneous strokes of my brush dance in a pool of glowing, comfortable mist The angry bullfrog sits aimlessly in a black lagoon, waiting for the return of his heart IMAGERY You can see more than the eye Music is your telescope

Sun Ra
The orchard of life has seen it's final harvest Dying leaves hang carelessly in pale, yellow agony Rotting apples reminisce on their days of vibrant, golden youth Naked trees stare blatantly with sad faces into the endless oblivion of memory The orchard of life rings with desperate cries for salvation

The Orchard of Life
Happy-hearted but not all there His awkward smile lingers through my mind              Peaceful,              Yet Unforunate That staggering physique & that waddling             walk & that dauntful dance & that             unstable eye: a precise entailment             of his persona,                          though never ******                                    never vacant                                    never violent                       ...UNTIL NOW when the demon of his soul prevails        no mercy                      no mercy                                     no mercy Not even for a loving mother; a loving      mother who provided a comforting      home & the essential care & three      daily dishes of food & the one thing      a loving mother provides best:               Unconditional Love        He is now ripped of a warm heart; will he ever find salvation? I hope so. His possessed actions are ample punishment and will eventually tear the boy to shreds: Those memories of an unreasonable death;             a death that spilt blood into every             crevice of his character Those memories of innocent bloodshed;              the blood of his own race...the           same blood that stirs in his viens Those memories of pure insanity;     an insanity that taught anger     the ways of mutilation Those memories of his murdered mother;          a "horrendous" scene that plays on          constant repeat in his head ...and those future memories of remorse;                     remorse for his ***** deeds                      of spontaneous psychosis Yet, his awkward smile still lingers through my mind https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=349987311783508&set;=a.298260023622904.72189.100003167250519&type;=1&theater; "There is without a doubt that this kid has something possessing him... I believe it wasn't him who killed the mother he loved with all his heart, how can such a kindhearted loving teenager change in less than two months and ****** the woman who loved him the most and who he loved. This teenager has a demon inside him.... look at the pictures ya'll.... on the right is him less than six months ago. He doesn't even look the same...."

Is this conscious state of existence really real? or will my words and I soon drift into the infinite possibilities of my sweet, oh, sweet Lucidity? Life is strange but I am stranger.

Reality Check
Take this useless tongue of mine I am merely a passive observer in this game we call Life               All ideal;                             No action Egress my soul through the impenetrable  fortress                splitting a difference between the realities                     of Hip and Loneliness. I find my spirit                               obscured within the latter realm.                                     Take this loveless heart of mine I am merely a conquistador's familiarity with failure             it beats in rhythms;                                consider it a charity Descending from the heavens of my imagination, a               radiant lioness swifts into my being and lifts                      above...above into El Paraiso Del Deseo                                    It's time to unfurl these eyelids 1-30-13

Liberation
"Thou whose eyes unopened and unable to see Still finds his one love, oh how can it be?" "No need for these eyes when you have an open heart Unfurled sight is what keeps two loves apart" "Thou blind one, how did it come to be? Two in one love, please explain this to me" "Oh dear friend, to me, my love came Heart encased in sorrow's ice, melted by her flame" "Thou one whose heart is as open as the sea, How tender the love held by you and she?" "Our love, I hold, like her soft, gentle hand Intwined together, as is grass to the land" "Thou deafened one who chooses only to see, How much quality in the love, held by the hands of thee?" "My love comes and goes like a migrating dove How can I change to unsatisfaction of my love?" "Thou one with no sight can show you to be As loyal, caring, and loving as he So learn to use your heart over eyes Or else each love after the next is bound to capsize."

Blind Dissatisfaction
Mad Woman; aiming finger through the sky: *"Eclipse! Eclipse!"* These stubborn eyes reject. Deaf by decision. Abruptly, rays of light bring me an Optical Intervention. Solar Father Lunar Angel Earthly Prophet Perfectly Aligned. RUN-RUN-RUN I am in desperate need of a friend. RUN-RUN-RUN Dark Moscow Streets to the Sunny Beach's End. Pedestrian inquiry is of no assistance. Lost Friend. Just Wait. .... From the void of Nowhere; my friend, my oh so hip friend, falls into scene: *"Where art thou eyes descending behind those opaque shades on thou face?"* and before any latter thought, a cold cry falls from the sky. *"Eclipse! Eclipse!"* These stubborn eyes perceive nothing up above but the reflecting eyes of none other than my one-and-only friend. (12-29-12)
