They revealed themselves
So now I know
God, keep me calm and humble

On my knees I pray
When I fall and stumble

I'm lonely and I'm scared
Please let me help my neighborhood

Tryin to do my best
Please don't let me be misunderstood.

The bipolar is my curse
Lord, help my poor soul

I love Mr. Poe
And I love rock n' roll

Please for daily walks
Quietly to stroll

To love and to work
Let that be my goal

               Amen.

So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough

Beach is beside us
But this is no oasis
A few steps remind us
Of such private places
The palms are outstretching
To skies of cerulean
The shrooms kicking in
Since I’ve had
Quite a few of them
New, unfamiliar
Surroundings
Confound
But adaption
Comes naturally,
Quickly unbound
Am I free to run into
The distance and see it
Was more than we ever could
Truly believe it

Not a coincidence
Said the Puerto Rican cop

As he turned on the car stereo
And kindly drove me to the psychiatric ward

                 Peace be with him
                 Praise the Lord.

I owe all my life
to the light from my window
don't tell the wind though
air is quite necessary
but the sun is essential

At times the profanation
At times the sacred sounds
At times the mystic silence
At times put back rebounds

Time is not a line
Time might be an Ocean
Time is still unknown
To her my still devotion

Letters in the mail
Poems in the night
Mad as mist and hail
Cranberry juice with Sprite

Love is patient and kind
I wait; yes, I wait.
Enter my wine mind
Destiny, not Fate

          Dragon Gate.

There are so many other countries
I'd like to see them too
Been to 17
Lived in just a few

My heart is in Taipei
My memory the River Liffey
Bangkok tuk tuk ride
Kyoto is my iffy

If I will disappear
Vanish with no trace
Tell her: Do not fear.
Multiverse embrace.

My dear, my dear, my dear
Such a lovely face!
