Unfortunately
Change isn't simple
and without failure,
entropy sets-in...
You got to lose your balance
to find a new one☯
We all possess the strength to win!

To reach a new goal
"In evolution"
The seeds of love rely
All this chaos is but an illusion
The spark of hope still fills my rhymes

There is a new day on the horizon
The sun is shining extra bright
The sky is endlessly blue
An atmosphere of endless apatite's
.......................................................­....

I think in rhymes
As I'm gathering prose
Well crafted rhythms
Expressed in deep soul
Patterns of passion
Heart beat led
Chemicals transmitting
Love, hate and dread
Secreting creations
The ****** of mind
I love to write
Whenever it's time!
...........

As a mere rhymer
I have nothing to prove
To the editorial readers
Nor even their muse
No need for their "ahs"
Nor even their "oohs"
My rhymes are aimed
At the poetical crew

Creativity is a savory drug
I get high on what you say
Aesthetics fill my restless heart
Colorful words paint my day
On and on I read and rhyme
With folks I've never met
Voice's of the kindred kind
Never a regret!

Shall we dine
On wine and flesh?
There seems to be
Plenty left!
So pass around
The possum pie
Wine made out
Of dandelions

Lazy days
Of summer sun
Sleeping in
Like we're still young
Falling free
Blue ocean skies
Let our hearts
Never die...
......

Deity attributions
Are far from my mirror
She touches my heart
Whenever she near
Take her down deep
And hold her inside
I fall to my knees
Tears fill my eyes

Oh to know
The secrets beyond
To bathe in her light
Before I move on
And travel to worlds
That exist in my soul
Engulfed in her love
And never let go...

I'm truly sorry for all the bad I've done
But I'm not gods only
New Age Son!

We are the lambs
Refuse the slaughter
New Age Child
Or even Daughter!

Who can forget
The black that stains a soul
I wish I were a simpleton
Whose regrets could just let go

Yet life is not designed
For any second chance relief
Once  you've crossed the line
You create such new beliefs…

And on to thee I ask
Could you worship me
If I were a burning bush
And not just any deity

Before a flood can drown your mind
Before a wrath can end all time
Would you take a knee

If I were washed in putrid muck
To set your spirit free
If I could give you meaning
A reason just to be
If I were nicknamed Wisdom
Or King of all the Kings
Would you bow down holy
And come and join my team

Would you believe in me
If I came to you in a dream
Walking on the surface
Of a clear running stream
Or if I were but a Star
Who fell from heaven
To where you are...
Would you at least
Come sit by my fire
No need to bow down
   Unless you desire...

If I could feed the world
my produce would be pure.
Not a pesticides nor herbicides,
no GMO’s to fear.

Regenerative soils
living biomes in the dirt!
Clean air and mineral water
for all our bodies worth!

Nutrients and proteins
keep our mitochondria thriving!
I would prohibit the junk food lobbyist and the pharmaceutical drive ins.

There would be no moral beast (no more obese) Americans bouncing across the hills.
So we wouldn’t need no Ozempic or dietician pills.

You’re invited to eat at my house
the only poison is my wine…
You’ll need no physician or Psychologist, if you eat here every time!

Once I tried to write it down
The essence of my being
Indeed a consuming
Engaging quest
'Cause seeing is believing
Nobody likes to think about
The realities of this place
Everyone is leaving
Not a soul
   In outer-space...
In the entropy
Of all forgotten
No echo can escape
No sound or form
Can be reborn
Such an end
Of little taste
In hearts of fools
Maps still rules
Yet the journey
Shall come to an end
The energy we know
No longer in tow
'Till the next
Big Bang
Begins
.......

without a thought
i began this life
somethings sure
to come to light
an't got no lover
an't got no wife
this is not
a rant oh no
nor gripe
deep insight
can free the soul
i loved her more
then you could know
perhaps we met
in a life time past
happiness
wasn't meant last
and yet
we spiral down
and start again
for next time
we are bound to win

I love to write
Simultaneously
I hate to read

I'd rather listen
As my muse
Breaks free

Under water
Balancing breath
Deep in sleep
Closer to death

Chasing passion
Down endless
Rabbit holes

I love
To follow
No matter
High or low

And when the trip
Comes to an end
I suppose
I'll come back
  As a Poet again...

Everything is beautiful, as far as I can see
Everything is wonderful when my eyes bleed

Everyone is casual, sifting stems and seeds
Everyone is pleasant, spirits soaring free

Everything is peaceful when life is but a dream
Everyone is kicking back, hear the eagle scream

Roll another dream, smoke rings fill the sky
Pass it to the left,  never pass it by

Everything is kosher, watch the children climb
Everything returns to sources in it’s own time

Everything is beautiful, as far as I can see
Everything is wonderful when my eyes bleed

Quite astounding
Actually
Behind eyes
Beyond perception
The seeds of darkness
Flourish

Nurtured in
Regrettable
Resentful
Irreversible
Fates

Sometimes it's hard
To see in the dark...

TIME JUST FLIES OR SO IT SEEMS
HER EYES HAUNT MY RESTLESS DREAMS
FACES FADE, MEMORIES BLUR
WAKE UP SOAKED, TOSSED AND TURNED
DREAMS SO TWISTED I CRINGE IN SLEEP
INTO MY SUBCONSCIOUS ONCE AGAIN SHE CREEPS

SUCH IS THE PRICE I'M FORCED TO PAY
FOR LEAVING HER IN SUCH A WAY...

It open some of my deepest wounds
Loss of freedom in a dreadful tomb
Days gone by in a hazy blur
Doom and indignity
evenly paired…

Have you ever seen a ghost
Home alone at night
Have you ever seen the world
Through clear nocturnal sight

Have you ever peered through darkness
To see the other side
Have you ever felt such acceptance
Beneath a moon lit sky?

We define things which others cannot describe
We hear the whispers from the other side
Restless voices
Spirits in the wind
So safe and sound
At least we pretend

The days shall we rest
The nights we shall roam
The creeps be no longer creepy
The night becomes our throne

Relax my love
Just try to breathe
I feel your unrest riding on the night
I can sense you flying
Thruway through my skies

Your psyche cycle stalls
Your engine starts to climb
All your fears and worries
Entangling my mind

Hold on a little longer
Your heart was meant to change
I shall help to anchor
Your restless growing pains

I defied the principles laid down before our race
I chose to bring about change at a considerably faster pace
By searching beyond these limits of our terrestrial bounds
I dared to seek out the place where gods could be found

I questioned those who believed without surety
This was surely a path of reverse polarity
With such questions posed they became predisposed
With that familiar look of un-clarity...

The higher you reach, you begin to fall
The farther you fall you become out of reach
This may sound absurd but it's not written in words
That can only be deciphered by the meek...

The answers are not what's important to know
The questions you put forth can free your soul
From a world of fear and superstitious ties
Piece and clarity are waiting inside...

Do I know crazy
I know him well
Too much time
In and out of hell

Even the strongest
Can't keep
The sky from falling
My motor's running
My mind keeps stalling

Here I am
If there’s anything you need
My heart is racing
My brokenness is in the lead

Assumed to be evil
Always lurking in the dark
Creepy is the opposite
Of what we know by heart

From a thousand miles away
Worldviews appear unclear
You can no more see through my eyes
Than I can understand your fears

I can only ensure you
There's no bears in here
...

If like me
Your first love has failed
And inevitably
Your second
And perhaps third as well
And now thick bittersweet blood
Pumps through your veins
Take my advice
Don't give a care
Leave not the tear that stains
"For our kind"
Nobody's praying!

Every time I’m alone
I get the overwhelming urge to write more poems.
The creative vibe adds to this experience of joyous content.
The contemplations of life
I do not lament.
I let my spiritual intelligence
fill my heart with the math of love.
This extends far beyond the physical hug.

I wish the world
Could be my guess
Far more than I could feed
I must confess
And wouldn't my five acres
Be a mess
But surely it be worth it
Such an under thought-out quest
All those suffering
Would be
Finally blessed
.....

So many
My love
Have longed to hear
What I whisper
In your ear
To soothe your soul
And seethe your sweet
Releasing your heart
From misery
How many my love
  Yet still you bleed...

In days cut short
Of warn out soul
While immortality
Insist on growing old

Through tired eyes
Too dim to see
When from this evil night
My soul shall flee

How quickly
A simple smile fades
There shall be
No comfort, nor praise
Ridicule nor disdain
No eyebrow raised
In the bitter end
Of my days

All but love
Shall not delay
When the spirits
RIP my soul away
The harbinger's words
The curse of life
This has been a losing fight

There shall be
No comfort for me
No I don't believe...

I don't always mean
These words I say
Nor these things I recklessly do
In the pitch dark of night
I suddenly awake
And frantically reach for you
Somehow you're still here
Then I realize my greatest fear
To be alone in this broken world
A single man without a girl
So I must admit
I need your love
Even though
I abhorred the crutch
Nothing is as it's suppose to be
Thank  god
For cursing me!
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

No eye can see to
The core of what’s beneath
Below the shadow figures
Sticky fingered thief’s
Clawing out from under
Climbing up the spine
No heart can ever
Help from being blind
.....

It was clear as day
That look in her eyes
She surely found me attractive
But our values did collide

For her, materials mattered
A bit too much for me
My value system is tied
To a life of simplicity

So here I ask you poets
Do you really give a ****
About the name Ethan Allen
On your dresser or nightstand

Such high maintenance
Doesn't matter if you're rich
Still I am no longer driven
To scratch such an itch...

I am disturbed
My mind is but broken
I stare at the wall
My thoughts are all frozen
Shell of the man I use to be
Lost in my brain
I'm no longer me
......
Where did I go
Who really knows
Your only talking
At my ghost
They won't let me drive
Or stay home alone
All my people
In a nurse's role
......
I long for my old life
While I just let go
No longer me
Can I borrowed a soul
......

Oh what pleasures holds the great unknown
Yet here on sand I built my home
In the eye of storms that never subside
And less the glory that feed my pride

I used to stare through gleaming eyes
Now dull and dim my tear ducts dry
Tomorrow's dreams all but gone
My lady no longer sports her thongs...

Come on everybody
Heed my words
We're all going to get
Our deserves
Change in the weather
It's getting cold
Human suffering
Is a bleeding soul
Open the boarders
Let them in!
Please, I beg you
We can't afford
Anymore sins...

To tell me twice
When eye's have said enough
I've read between the unwinding lines
I've no need for less than love

The twitch, the look
Uneven flow
Rest assured
I already know

  And be sure
That they do too
The rest is up to you
Unto thine own self be true
....

It's lost on me
As you can read
I have no need
For misery
All that's blue
Is but a sea
Beneath the waves
Where we can't breathe
So fill my sails
With thankfulness
Come navigate
These sea's of bliss
And bring about
A better days
Where you and I
Can ride the waves
Of happiness
And piece of mind
To weather all
The storms of time...

Perhaps I prefer to play the ghost
To only be seen by the ones
I love the most
To limit the stress
Of life’s bumpy roads
I won’t let bad take its toll.

(But that’s not how I use to roll)

Life’s beauty fulfills my quest
A peaceful life is my success
There is no sense in worrying
Simply stay out from under the gun
If there’s nothing chasing us
There’s no need to run.

Ya but what if....
What if it's much more complicated
The distance to truth
What if it's equal to eternity
How long shall one search
Didn't all the paths lead here!

Are you human
In our eyes
What part of you
Refuse to die

Unquestioned morals
Of those who came before
Do you believe in invisible things
Do you believe in war

Are you worthy
In our heart of hearts
To speak of right
And wrong as an art

Is there room
For us to grow
Is there acceptance
In your role

Are you hungry
In the nights
Are we human
In your sight
???

Where do they go
Those rats in the alley
Up into cracks and holes
On into hungry bellies
Cockroach infested
The walls are at war
Damp musty mildew
Deep black mold spores
Down in the basement
A noise never heard
Perhaps a snake, lizard
Frog or some type
  Of ***** bird...

Whatever I heard
Where ever rats go
You won't find me
hanging out
In the old ghetto
No, not no more!
.....

Herbicide rich farm lands..
Pesticides on every lawn..
Long live the American dream!
Capitalism is a long lost song..

Roundup sprayed ski slopes and golf course turfs!
Bucket list of old rich folks dying of cancers..
City water that stinks..
The ink of our receipts..
Testosterone levels,
rapidly deplete..
Year’s of no regulation,
Aluminum in the sky..
They obviously want to make sure…
No one gets out alive!!

We face death every day
and we live.
When we finally die
perhaps that’s the gift.

The flowers grow wild
in my world.
She says they’re weeds
but she is but a girl.
I reckon she’ll have to come back this way, to learn how to break free of this maze..
Look at the time!
We have to go,
live out our poetry
with all we know.

Beyond politics
We as a poetic society
Possess gifts
A large verity
Arrangers of word
Raw emotional avengers
Vicariously we live
Safely as pretenders

Close the mind
Let the thoughts flow free
The world still exist
  Outside your zombie
Don't bother breathing now
Your far too late
Our earth is dying
While she's still being *****

Politics they never trend
Fantasy certainly
Will always win
That is
Until the bitter end!

And when I'm finally
Forced to fade
Slight of minds
No longer vague
Inconclusively
Placed on trial
Paradoxically wearing
  A black tooth smile...

Hear no evidence
Of my rebellious heart
Encipher not
My darkest art
For I have loved
And lost it all
Forgive my words
And my resolve
....

Do we cross a point of no return
Do we step beyond to live and learn
If evil’s tempted by all that’s good
Perhaps the scheme is misunderstood
Our demons fights for love within
It’s a consuming flame that never ends
...

No one is without
The trickery of mind
Its grasp beyond grip
Subliminally defined

No hearts above
The trickery of love
And no mind's free
Of influences above
Or as prescribed
In meditation
Or good drugs

Relax your fist
These imperfections
Are gifts
Like the rainbow
After a storm
Equality a distortion  
A psychological extortion
Of dispositions
We feel are norm...

Storm on my horizon
A change in weather grows
For me there is no shelter
These cold fronts bleed my soul

If only I could grasp
The kingdom come my way
Yet I find no shelter
No matter what I pray

So let those voices echo
As the wise and mighty fall
Suffering beyond the shelter
Of those superstitious laws...

I am not my story
the narrator past
obviously his suffering
was never mean to last

no one bullied me
they helped me forged a man
into a lover of life
a healer of the land

I have no regrets
no blame to invest
I’d actually like to thank
the universe for this test

we didn’t come from our parents
we were only passing through
I’d like to thank them both
for the hell that they once knew

I am not a story
trapped within a book
I am a poet
the past is what it took!

I keep no medals
Nor pictures of back then
I'm no longer a warrior
I have no wish to defend...
In fact, I'm forced to run
Unable to hide
Cameras and drones
Fill my minds eye’s

(Truth is)
I once saved my ship
From sinking
I found a hole
And stopped it from leaking
Somebody up on deck
Got the credit
Even the ships new paper
Refuse to edit

I never needed
A notch in my gun
When the cops yell stop
I'm the first to run
I've done more time
Then I care to claim
I've always been innocent
I just keep getting framed

And still
My love is as big
As the setting sun
If you cry out
Here I come
Yet I no longer feed
On excitement
And speed
A warrior
I no longer wish to be!

I don’t pretend to be a writer
I am not hidden behind my words
I can’t complicate my expressions
I won’t embrace my lower fears

I will not be writing a book
only a handful of songs
Life is full of beautiful music
I invite you to sing along!
