Step on the shores of the sea
wade into the water
come swim with me

Let the water pass your extremities
into the depths allow your face to be

Here we need not breath
and movement is fluid as your hand will see

I attempt for humor
but reach for what humors me

Don't think it vain
it's just how I connect with my fellow human beings

If my thoughts seem sporadic forgive me
I'm drowning the doubt
infusing creativity

I fear I do not know how to write a tale
my imagination recedes under it's dark veil

I wish he could see me
and i him
for an imagination makes us feel like a child again

A quick hit.
Ya get your fix.
Slip inside.
Goodbye.

I was youthful then,
My expectations and understanding of the world,
not in the slightest developed.
To me.
The immensity of a common situation,
Perhaps,
One you take for granted,
Put my mind, body and soul in peril.
Weird how time develops a mind.
Youth searching for answers,
Does.
One day find the keys to his doors.
For many of mine were locked,
but light doth shine fuller and brighter each time the key turns.
In those days,
It is most unfortunate the limited expanse of my mind;
For if I had been more developed,
the severity of such a situation would have been extinguished with care.
And diligence.
One can not conceptualize HELL,
Unless one has lived it.
Situations exist where evil lies,
We must do our best not to disturb his slumber.
He sources the weak.
The undisciplined.
Those who cherish raw emotion and think only of pain.
Such was my experience...
and try i have,
to forget the days where I burned inside;
my brains melting outside my head,
spinning,
falling,
crashing into the depths.

So there we all were...
transfigured boys of budding manhood.
Zeal and pride fumigated the rooms...
but timid were our hearts.
To reach for something we knew not we wanted...
lost as sailors on a clouded sea.

A narrative piece to follow...
an attempt at exploring the creative depths of my mind.
Hopefully
the waters break above the knee.
May I drown there?

Birds of a feather flock together...
So tis true for me
Dare I say all humanity
Love is shared with his own kind
Perhaps they share the same mind
So drawn to a love I should be
Who shares the same sentiments as me
Understand myself to understand another
Search for what I want and desire no other
A mate who compliments me and I thee
For a thousand days will deplete with misdeed
Time shared with right
Will make my life complete
Where will she be found?
How long must I wait to find common ground?
Peace and contentment I only desire
Someone to fill my heart with love and share the fire
All in good time these things will come
I must fire the clay
Sculpt the marble
Prepare the mold
For love.
