Sometimes I go out my way for a laugh
Sometimes I forget when it's time to come back
Running on overdrive
Faster then Bonnie and Clyde

I like to get lost in the woods
I'd live there if I could
In the pines I like to hide
Near a riverside

I don't need much sleep theses days
My hairs have all turn grey
I get up early and write
And post my poem at first light

Then off to run my farm
To keep my crazy world from harm

Taking on a spouse
is like taking in a rescue dog
You just got a hope the dam thing is housetrained!

There's 100 trillion universes
With hundreds of trillion planets
We are but a speck of stardust
Yet we take these scores for granted

100 trillion stars
In the sky's of our night's
Hundreds of trillions of people As gravity holds on tight.

A 100 trillion cell's
Make up the human body...
100 trillion Atoms
In each and every cell...
Billions of chemical reactions every fraction of a second.
And all this connected by an invisible quantum field.

See for yourself
What the research says...

In the minute plunk of the atom
Is where we actually live 🎼

Life is a rough ride,
I’ve never been broken but I’ve lived through hell several times.

If I could have a reset…
Where would I pop in?
What would I leave behind
but the wisdom of my sins..

No, I think I’ll keep them intact
in the here and now!
After all
there is nothing I lack
that hasn’t gone afoul.

I been tainted with such beliefs
Death is but a ***** thief
Sins are redeemable in blood and sweat
Hurry, we haven’t got much time left

Heavy handed the hierarchy hicks
Church leaders were some of the biggest ******
Fear of hell fueled by shameful dread
But that’s not how the real Jesus lead

Let keep this vague
Lets keep this soft
When life is over
It’s time to get off

At the moment of rebirth
We’re in debt to the earth
The sky cannot lie
Clouds are but dreams passing by

And so my spirits gently sighs
All these unanswered questions
Yet I seem to be doing just fine!

I’m still here lost in these walls
Stumbling around these haunted halls
Falling through, flashing by
Just a ghost of love that’s died

The funny thing
When she walked in
I glimpsed an average
Lady of my age
Well surely
A few years younger
Then my slave master
#1 Girlfriend! (abusive care taker)
Yet as I took this nice lady for a tour
Of our Dog friendly kennel
As she spoke
Her words touched
Like massaging hands
Her eyes shined
As they peered through my soul
With her heart exposed
Her heart a mirror reflection
Of what I forgot could exist
I wondered...
Why do I resist?

Why change ways now
Let the devil take a bow

Like when we were young
Getting high and having fun

Scrub the paradigm shift
All this foolishness is bliss
Perhaps
A one-way road to the abyss

Don’t concern yourself with bigger things
Being right is preordained
After all
The Mountain is going to catch you
When you fall
Just stand tall

It’s them or someone else
Your victim knows it well
Come and join the party
Propaganda sales

The stock markets doing great Wall Street is having a feast
Pay no attention to the millions in the street
.............
Voting blue will not save you
Voting blue will not save you
Voting blue will not save you
Resistance is futile

When finally you meet
The darkness of soul
There a shallow heart beats

Alone in your sphere
The echoes implode
Chasms between you
And your dreams

Reluctant and resentful
Life lingers longer
And the heart
Hungers for more

Thankful and mindful
Now you are strong
So get out there
     And stop being a bore...(-:

I can see
From good to evil
I have to make those choices
Everyday
A glass of water or a six pack
Shake it off
Or chase those blues away

I fled the cave
Of voiceless shadows
To know the other side
The path beyond
The supernatural
A light that heals
The restless mind...

What scientist thought to be a Big Bang
Was actually the main frame
Booting up!

From the dawn of evil
Through the dusk of life
It serves its purpose
As an extension on strife

To attack the evil at the source
One must fight without remorse
And so we chose to even scores
And laid a path to evil’s door…

Shall the heart that festers
In smothering wrath
Return to breathe
The warmth at last?

Perhaps to let evil go
Parallels the cowardly lions role
Look at all the friends he made
  Out there searching for his rage...

The pie an’t sweet enough
So I’ll have a slice to go
Bag me up some strudel
And a dozen donut holes
We ain’t got no mask
Gloves are hardly free
I’ve been hiding out so
At least stay back 10 feet

Into the pocket a reach
Virus control breached
Keep the change
We’ll take the chance
And hope our courses
Don’t meet

Let these words reflect
The heart of souls
The heat of passion
Every breath stroke
Let them rise
And softly rain down
May they nourish
Their fallow grounds
Heed no warnings
Embrace the stars
Allow no judgement
Condemn no lair
  
Keep up if you can
We were meant to win
......................

The pendulum swings at a steady speed
Inevitably life upon me feeds
I dreamt of real in my illusion
Destiny like free-will a mere delusion
Today’s all but gone, am I still intact
To pull love’s knife out of my back
Brilliantly dim this light of mine
I strain to glimpse the bottom line
These nights do linger pain becomes art
The Cut that Never Heals still bleeds my heart

When you’re all knowing
You need not a thought
No eyes to stare
No feet to walk

While we’re still in this form
Limitations distort our paths
Seems we’re burdened by beliefs
Or victims of some god’s wrath

But I can assure you,
My heart will always shine
Keeping my goals in focus
With each and every rhyme..

Can our consciousnesses be
Fast or slow?
Can our awarenesses be
High or even low?

You do realise
Of course...

Language was simply designed
to hide our feelings
We hide behind our poetic preserves
Whether were loving or were killing
Say what you shall
In the presence of light
Poets stands up with their words to fight

That was just a few rhymes of insight!

Again he fell from heaven
He and his demons in tow
The unlikely circumstance
Beyond his limits of control

The ignorance that angered him
Arguably superficial at best
In servitude to his liberalism
To degrees of subconscious unrest

In meditation on only facts
He proceeds to take the blue sky back
And so on guard he'll always be
To protect the speech of all born free...

For reason I hope
You can understand
I can only be
Your back door man
A single shot of liquor
A one night stand
I’ll keep coming back
Again and again
So Leave your door ajar
Your bedroom window wide
I Will always be
Right outside
.......





.....

Every ring needs a leader
He's not a "con man" just a cheater
Every ****** needs a pusher
She's a lover not a ******

As these gutters open wide
Feel the lust, you're still alive
Allow his words upon bare flesh
Close your eyes and hold your breath

Open up and let it out
Hum, moan, scream or shout
Truly
That's what living's all about

Every ring needs it's leader
He's a Poet with a one track meter
.....

Icarian in nature
We rise till we burnout
The hierarchy inherits
Our uncommon wealth

Grave markers parish
In the forgetfulness of time
We are merely
Used up building blocks
As evolution unwinds

Dissolving
Our consciousness diminishes
Cascading façade
Oozing into the
Muck of wonder
Recycle bin
Take us home
Once again!

Crying victim as they’re supporting mass victimization.
Time to tune in to another station.
A higher frequency,
a balanced beam..
Only a fool takes one for the team.

Stress is energy being ****** away, another parasitical entity being fed..
Stop listening to the voices in your head..
Road rage is an early death.

Don't pretend
These words are to you
Do you really think
I watch
Everything you do?

Do you believe despair
Is yours
And your's alone
I realize
You mean no harm
You just want to roam

We all have needs
Wants and woes
If you're going to roam
Leave your pain home
Just bring your heart
And your soul
.....

I have no desire to see the
bully get beat down..
I just want the bully to quit bullying.

It’s time to pull the plug $
on the war machine!

One moment we laugh, the next we cry
Invigorating this emotional rollercoaster ride
So slow going up, so fast coming down
Young hearts breaking at the speed of sound

Slapped in the face by the experience of life
Unwarranted emotions of hatred and strife
Roundabout the station we begin to ascend
Straight down then curve as our minds warp and bend

Terror overpowers and tortures our souls
As we reach our ****** of out of control
Attached to life’s rails we’re moving so fast
How long can we expect this passion to last
But nobody wants this ride to be over
It’s all so intoxicatingly sober

This is a gift I brandish alone
My sheath is my passion
My sword is my poem
Intellectual aesthetic‘s
My centre of pleasure
My creativity flows on
This body is tethered

People can make me feel quite strange
They roll their eyes and shake their brains
Seldom are they on the same page
Where poetry flows
In an aesthetic array

But this is who we are
And there is no need to change
The expanding universe
Is calling our names
...................

I lost her to the Green Man
She danced the May Pole Line
I remember all the spells she cast
  Her light shone quite divine

Unbearably bright
The existential  plight
Within different hemispheres
We navigate by hindsight

Visions of equality
The Goddesses time
Voices of wisdom
Captured in rhyme

Now I hold this talisman tight
And brave this world alone
Giving into thankfulness
   I fear not to roll them bones...

I waited beyond logic
Until I deemed myself a fool
I swallowed all her *******
Obeyed all her rules
I feared no turning back
So long I lived in dread
But one day I woke up
And kicked her out of bed!

Beliefs
Effect areas
Of our intelligence  
That sould otherwise
Contemplate logically

Waiting for
Miracles
Impossibly real
Stuck in caves
Where kindness
And fear
Come together
And ****

More than an image
The sky outside
Turn around
And run for the real life!

Plain to see
In all we read
Just who we are
And what we believe
Worldviews of the mighty and wise
Spiritual leader of the slumbering kind
Followers in a perpetual maze  
Running blindly
    All our days...

All in the hopes
Of getting it right
For a ghost of a chance
On an eternal flight!

She doesn’t represent me anymore
She’s agonizingly apathetic to the core
I live by myself out back in her barn
She can no longer do me any harm

Bedbugs and scratching mice
The bare necessities will suffice
I have no need for greed or misery
I have but one ex-wife

The old windmill has frozen gears
I haven’t tilled these grounds in years
I drink and drive my old beat up truck
To the bar to try my luck

Oh those gals
With sweet love swells
All a man can use
Drunken blind
And feeling fine
And I'm not afraid to lose!
................,,.

(I watched the news today
Oh boy.....)



Hands tied
I can only stare
As the Media force feed us
This world of despair...
Attributes assigned
These devils share
Threatening us with terrorism
The commonalities we fears

Expendable at bay
The lepers we must despise
Insecurity the infection
Growing in our minds
The will of the rich
The voiceless poor
Blood stains
Institutions
The harlot's of war
These are
"Our" governments
Ruthless money ******!!!

I know you are a seeker of both love and enter peace
but I also know the blindness of an over burdened beast.
Shackled to the motherland’s
home of the safe and free,
where closed mindedness
locks us into war and misery.

It's only a shadow
Passing over
This darkened
Day of dread

Take my hand
Hold on tight
Rest your pretty head

Upon my heart
Upon my shoulder
Tuck yourself in deep

Take me down
To your garden
Between your silken sheets

I shall be your
Knight in armor
I shall be your muse

I will be your burning flame
Come and light your fuse
..........

Hey!
It's a waste of time
Praying to die
Slowly we all
Get eaten alive
But maybe
Give life a try

The Goblins of Gloom do prey
At the borders of safety’s demise
This passageway frequently opens
A blessing yet curse despised

Passion for fury
****** out of control
Hell's fiery embers blister
As the burn of lust
Consumes the soul

Innocence caught in a vacuum
****** up, used and discarded
A fuel that feeds
The demonic machine
The evil eye lids have parted

Nightmares and spells
Conjured in hell
The righteous and wicked do ponder
Through evil doors
The wickedness soars
How many left open I wonder?

Oh Ya
Safety word

Be careful
Who you leave on top...

This is my strength
It don't belong to anyone else
No one carried me through Hell
They simply placed me on a shelve

These are my veins
Sending life force to my fist
Those are my claw marks
Ripped from Heaven's List

This is my heart
My love weighs a ton
And it's stronger on it's own
When it's all said and done
...

Why would I hate you
Brother?
A heart's allowed to grieve
I would forgive you
Throughout time
"Forever"
And in-between!
Some of us recover
Even overcome
You were once as close
As Jesus to the sun
I sill love you
Brother
And now it's said and done.
..............................................

The path of the gods
Leads us beyond forever
Stacked and confounded
Heavier then fairer weather

The fear of demise lays dormant
In the twinkle of a young child's eyes
Lovers of life whose fortune fades
Drunk upon the rituals of rites
Stranger then any true identity
Based upon a familiar disguise
Staggering through repressed divinity
We overlook the the reasons we're alive

The untethered consciousness
Has no boundaries, span nor depth
It's going to make a believer
   Out of me yet...

Please, oh please I mean no offence
And I promise not to try and leave some kind of hints
But can anyone really knows
The personality of god?
Pure and holy
Or is that a façade?
Stern and always angry
A war that never ends
Loving others despite the fact that we never can
Is he the beginning or are we the end
How can anyone win?
Justifying true sin
Over and over tempted again?

It hits me mostly
When I'm alone
The voice of soul
The creative flow
Whatever it is
I don't have a clue
Words that come
From nowhere
Words I never use
Perhaps
I'm a bit crazy
Perhaps
You're crazy too
But it is the gift
That you and I share
And I hope
   We never lose...

I've lost the connection
Not a signal to be reached
My heart is a cell phone
Lost on a beach

Tide coming in
Sandy, wet and cold
My poem
Is but a voice mail
  My battery
Running low

Contacts gone forever
Not a cloud to hold on
This device of all I am
Sinking in a pond...

IDK :D
(If there was one)


For those of you
Who've prosperd more
You may have been
Placed here before
Before the light
Could blind the sky
Out of the darkness
Yes!
     You and I.....
To guide the world
In poetic prose
Tricking minds
Selling our souls
Oh what fun it is
Using words
To flip their lids
The clever art
Of being absurd
It's actually
Magic and wonders
Giving birth!
