The moment you forget.
Mind wanders with regret.
Eyes blurred, lose focus.
“What’s my current purpose?”

Is spontaneous enough?
Chasing a dream, tough.
As a child we rushed,
what was all the fuss?

The lost moment finds.
The lost moment unwinds.
The lost moment reminds.
Messes with our minds.

In that moment there is clarity.
We connect with our reality.
Understand humanity.
Endless possibilities.
Test our comfortability.

A chance to breathe.
Rebirth and see.
Are we where
we want to be?

Take that lost moment,
to reset your focus.
To find yourself and
your new found purpose.

She is a fair creature to observe,
To study, the woman is, God.
I ,  have a genuine aesthetic appreciation
For her form.
I derive great delight in her hands when
Relaxed and gesticulating,
Her feet when crossed- legged, when dancing .
Other parts of her anatomy
In motion and still.
Her mind too!
Her thoughts, insight, knowledge,.. In fact,
Her whole being, personality, mannerisms
I find
Appealing!

ALL women Are beautiful!
Confronting their loveliness
Heightens  my feelings.
I can say the same
Occurs when I look at a Sunset or
Flowers in a garden.
The
Degree , comparison, is the same.

Before I met you,
I had not been searching
For my other half
Because I considered myself full
But now you're gone
And I have never felt so empty

for my children....
lullabies
and stories read
and letters learned
and numbers to count
and books from the library
and pencils from the store
and pictures to draw
and legos
and houses to build
and stories to write
and trees to climb
and bikes to ride
and swings to swing
and waters to swim
and songs to sings
and i love yous from mom

such precious memories for me
Oops! There I go
Chasing that **** white rabbit
Wouldn't you know it
I tripped and fell down his hole

Arms flailing trying to grasp a hold
Passing by roots and sediment
Seeing places of before
Finally landing in a land unknown

feels like Alice in wonderland...
changed to
Alice in Wonderful.....

The bright flashing lights
Tall skyscrapers touched
the tips of clouds
As automobiles whirred past.

No this was no wonderland
This was wonderful
As I drew breath
On a contaminated scent.


Things have been flipped
What was up now down
What once was sweet
Turned sour on the tongue

I cannot trust a thing
Here my eyes are truly deceived
Right is wrong
Wrong is right

To trust my own heart
That I don't know
This wonderful land
Beats to a different type of band

Left has become right
Every turn taken
Is another chance
To become lost.

My heart sings a tune
calming my soul
this wonderful land
cleanses my mind.

I guess I've been
here long enough
To feel a different
Kind of love.


Pulled from the darkest recesses of my mind
My demons silenced
Here in this wonderful
Upside down world
Thank you Star Gazer for doing a collaboration with me. This was fun!

They say you learn plenty
When you finally hit twenty
That everything changes
You connect with strangers
Abandon crazy dreams
Let go of balancing beams
To pursue proper prospects
Against all child you expects.

No matter how many years it's been
You will never once again be a teen.

a poem isn't meant to be yours,you will find it on another's script
before you even hold your pen
to write
or think
about it
just as
someone
not destined
for you
will but
just cause
you pain
