Just to be
On this side of hell
My spirit dances
In an existence of breathless
Mind wandering
Heart pounding anticipation
For every moment

I just want to stay here
In heaven with you...

Extremism
Is just another dead end
Believe me
There's no place I haven't been
Simply put
Curiosity is the itch to know
To feel, to dream, to grow
Still
Dread can appear as a illogical intrusion
When based on a incomplete resolution
And so...
Not even contemplation
Before conclusion
Can guarantee absolution

On this side of the maze
   I get lost for days...

This time around it seems
The universe insisted
That I matured first
Before exposing the gifts I possess
It would be nice to finally pass this test!

Keeping in mind that there are several categories of intelligence
And that we all possess different amounts of the different intelligence
One should not judge another's intelligence as critically
When we ourselves fall short
In our own categories
...

If I could catch
And ride the night
What shadows would I leave
Upon an unsuspecting world
Of hungry heart's and thief's

If I were but a silhouette
Of envy hate and greed
I'd cast myself upon the rich
And let my darkness breathe

If I were but a devil
Burning in disguise
I would catch and pull the wool
Over every weary eye

But I am but a Poet
And I wish the world the best
Creatively curious
Giving every thought a test
.....

At a rather closer look
we can see living organisms
radicalised microbiota
in a chaotic feeding frenzy
There seems to be little to no order
through the microscope
This chaos exist within us so that our bodies can function in harmony

And so as this planet in all its chaos
Is in harmony with the universe

Each of us
a cell of higher intent..

She’s a masculine muscle cell!

Mine belongs to the pancreas..

Strong in life those back bone cells!

Yet those of the grey matter
Believe they are higher then all…

Invisibly my hormones flow!

Involuntarily
My subconscious
Mind speaks
All that I've "let go"
Down below
Still creeps
Invisible as a ghost
Stuffed into place
All my brokenness
Slaps in the face
Forgotten imprinted
Carved into my soul
All of my losses
Tightly in tow
.....

Out of minds
of today
The old haunts
Slip away
Fitting into place
No longer a dread
Nor dismay

Behind the old walls
Where the laughter
Once stalled
A light of luminous minds
Bright and brilliant decline

To rehash the deviation
Of function

And so the shadow
On time remains...

The dogs of living
Come biting
In the end


You laid
With your lovers
Now wipe off
That grin

We all grow old
And we all must force

A thankful smile
At the end of our course

All the while knowing
Where you really rather be

Is in the middle of life's ocean
Drowning in time's sea
...

When my daily visit  
Becomes 2 hours too long
When my guitar stands alone
I know it's time to play on
When I'm not here
The circuits don't cease
Everything in my world
Is poetry...

It's time to write
To write indeed
A poetic mind
Need's to feed
It's time to conjure
Something new
Something beautiful
Something true
From far above
Or bitter below
It's time to let
Your feelings flow

Paint your picture
Be perceived
The prose, the laughs
The miseries
It's time to write
So take the lead
Write it down
So you can breathe



Besides...
We need something to read!

Once I traveled
Back in time
In an attempt
To put things
  Back on track...
Chopped off the head
Of all evil
But the head
  Eventually grew back...
Rewinding time
Even further
I forgot a thing or two
Something about
Something I'd done
Somewhere in time with you....

My heart
A road map of twisting roads
So many different ways
Please take it slow

My love
Brighter than the midnight stars
Bigger than the universe
Especially where you are...

My dreams
Extend beyond deepest sleep
My needs are like your's
Someone close I seek

To Have
To hold
To sleep with me in peace
Come and take a nap
Set your dreaming free!!

Bilge water barnacles
Beneath the water line
Parasitical in nature
The saltwater brine
Very bottom of the ship
A putrid garden grips
Deep rust on the hole
Shrimp and ***** strike gold!

And we all Sail on!

I realize that we are different.
I am for world peace,
you pretend to care..
Behind your eyes
there’s only evil out there.

But I have met and experienced
people all over the earth.
They are all just like we are.
They  have the same hungers
and thirst.
We all want love and prosperity.
Knowing this brings me clarity.

Actually
I can imagine
Who I want to be
But could that ever truly be me
All the time and hard work
To cause a change within
Yet I keep on showing up
Acting like Tim
Perhaps to actually change
Takes a near death awakenings
And so we’ll finally learn our lessons
In the final quickening!

The Taunting Trickster
Twisted the truth...
He heartlessly
Sat silently seething
Smothering
Quite quietly
Utmost utterly
Stoically smooth!
Loki lingering
Leaving lopsided loops
The Taunting Trickster
Twisted the truth!

Take a moment to consider
The way life feel's
In late September
As the tired mirror
Begins to age
Elegant and wise
You still
  Rule the day...

A single spark
Of a brilliant light
I can feel your bed bugs
Eternal bite
Beneath your covers
Such delight
You are my thirst
My appetite
Oh where are you
Out there
Tonight
....?

(Warning)

Some of my best writings
Were written while
Squeezing one off
I never suffer
From constipation
Or writer's block

Sometimes
When I'm alone
I feel a strange desire
Thinking about
Something you said
That set my soul on fire


Some of my thoughts
I will never share
Deeper than madness
Lost in despair
Where there's
Too much info
To disclose
Beyond my simple
Bowel movement
Prose...

Our hopes for you may fall short
Of the dangers of life’s desires
And although you may not see it now
This world is a consuming fire

Yet we will always have room for you
In our hearts and in our home
A place for you to stop and rest
From the long and weary road

Larger than life
The paths we make
The voices we follow
The positions we take

Politics and religion
Impact our minds
Poetic prisons
Hearts on the line

Coming and going
Haunting like ghosts
So many issues
We dare to approach

Each of us
A means to an end
Blinding lights
Burning dim

On into tomorrow
These torches we pass
Surely these fires
Were not meant to last...

I lost someone
From my core
Psychologically
I'm at war....

Let me catch up
With your suffering heart
Tormented by love's fatigue
The brokenhearted wows me
Your longings that can never be

I too have a shadow following
The darkness of soul that begs for light
Spent my adult life in a literal prison
Lost my children, my world, my life

Still my voice is the liberal in the room
And no matter how ****** up my life "was"
I love who I am
And I'm happy
   So hang in there...

Take this to heart
My Poetical Friends

Not just the rhyme
Makes emotions bend

To the will of the Bard
Or the cast of the spell

A rhyme without depth
Has no story to sell

A poetic structure
Riddled with rhyme

Brilliant in metaphor
Aesthetically designed

Will please the reader
And enlighten their minds

Oh how I love
A poem that rhymes!

Skeletor,
I'm taking
To our kind!

I truly sincerely apologize
My dearest southern friends
Our light here shines quite pale
Most the things they'er showing us on the News
Minimizes your living hell

This maybe my attempt to try and flush
My weary restless mind
Haunted by all I've seen
Down this crazy ******* line

This is a dangerous world
We gets caught up in our fears
But my arms are open wide
If you ever make it here!

Velvety roses so pleasing to the senses
Convey such messages as apologies and love
The aroma of angels in blue blurry skies
Stardust, rainbows and dreams from above

To brighten your new day
With magic and laughter
A spectrum of colors
So brilliantly captured

A life refreshed
Each moment within
May the blessings of new days
On this day begin

Never fall
In love again
                       Embrace the tears                    
And hold'em in

The empty life
That longs to live
The heart of gold
That longs to give

In coffin madness
Buried alive
Embrace your fate
And don't ask why

Why does love
Sometimes die
What ever happen
To you and I
...

I am crazy!
That's who I've become
My laughter rings
I love to run!
Shining eyes
I talk loud and fast
This side of me
I wish would last

I cannot focus
She thinks I'm ******
He puts me down
The dark alone
You've seen before
The hidden eyes
Let go of your thoughts
We're all gonna die!

I wasn't home that day
When Old Sam came a knockin'
But I got to give 'em credit
For the boldness of his drop in

Cause Oh Ginger she's a cookie
She don't rely on men
And Old Sam he ran off with Sookie
When Junior was 'bout Ten

The Jennings were my neighbors
But the cops they came one night
Ginger she cut young Sammy
With her daddy's switchblade knife

Ya them were the good old days
When lovin' was an art
Livin' in that 1970's
Flint trailer park

Are you ready to win!

Well…
Let’s get this done!
Have no fear
of being wrong..
The current system is simply
corrupt!
The furnace is just about
to erupt!
Good shall manifest
in hell’s place…
A final extinction
is absolutely
not the case.
So get ready
to lift the whole
human race…
P.S
Keep a smile
on your face!

Transitions
Forced upon our psyche's
From treading water
To riding lightning
The changes can be
Somewhat frightening

Spent my days
In a cage
Fighting off a world of rage
Stronger and stronger
I became
Desensitized and now I'm lame
Smote I did to survive
Just to live another life
Where truth is hidden
In despair
I can never truly be free
From there...

We hide them in shadows
our unspoken truths
thing we’re in agreement with
the devils we approve

exposure comes
as the sky opens up
slight of sleeves
is brought to the cuff

no escaping society norms
a patch of cosmic clouds become
a down pouring karmic storms

I’m not here to warn you
or soothe an unjust belief
we are at the precipice
of a change we’re going to need

This is that part of me
I’m not afraid to expose
A glimpse of my nakedness
A composition I compose

Freely I share regrettable mistakes
Lapse in judgment, slaps in the face
Rather you identify Or quickly deny
These are issues and battles of life.

Creativity comes in darkness
As well as in light
Fear not the lack of morals
As the Poets take to flight...

This is that part of me
I’m not afraid to expose
A glimpse of my nakedness
A composition I compose

Freely I share regrettable mistakes
Lapse in judgment, errors in good taste
Just as you identify then quickly deny
These are such feelings you’d rather hide...

Creativity comes in darkness
As well as in light
Fear not the lack of morals
As the Poets take to flight...

Down the drain into the world
Let the traumas begin
In my shadow
In my fears
I am sin
Integrate me
Or disassociate me
Sanity’s at stake
Read some Freud or Carl Jung
When you wake and bake
🙏

A Travel Alert
Has been issued
For the Travelers
Of The Earth

Quite unfriendly
The world views
These inhabitants
Have given birth

Condition High
All Travelers hide
Take shelter
From the storm

Our children rest
In weary arms
As fear becomes
Their norm
...

This is a global advisory

The Traveler has been in contact
With the quantum subatomic
Microscopic level intruder
Like a hungry ape
The virus is in a feeding frenzy
Swinging from molecule to molecule
I hereby
Claim poetic immunity
To any pandemic collection
May you all be safe.

I don’t mean to shut lovers out
But
A forcefield of uncertainty surrounds me
As I expand with the expanding universe

As a force of creative energy
Forged and tempered in spirit fire
Bridged in eternal continuity
A Traveler must travel alone

There’s no place like home......
There’s no place like home.......
There’s no home...

There is no fear
In my kind of faith

No hell
No gardens
No castle
Nor gates

No kings
To bow down to
No fiery fate

Boundless and eternal
   Are Traveler's traits...

Depression can be addictive
As we're pulled into the void
A place where we find comfort
In self pities we employ

Before the sun
Before the dawn
I am often
Up and gone
Not a care
Or despair
It's more then just
A mask I wear

But I know
How it is
I was once there
Beware
Depression
Is addictive!

A Blackeyed Demon
crawled out of my *****
on his travels to and fro
helped himself to my provisions
and left his superstitions
spreading chaos was his goal

The Sky Wizard would angrily protest
this his religion could not digest
He sent a drought a plague and a flood
He got so angry he forgot how to love

The moral of the story
could never be known
for this universe was never my home
I am but a Traveler
a one nightstand
I won’t be held responsible
for this broken promise land
...........

The body measures more
When the mind is set at ease
Intensely I explore
Her entire Galaxy

Deep within her stars
The inclusive stellar view
In the gravity of her emotions
The universe knows no rules

Vague are the descriptions
Of worlds beyond our grasp
If ya get a chance to journey there
May that journey last!

The world ran me down
And then ran me over
I may never see straight
I may never be sober
Yet
Cheers to you
I wish you the best
Love is a maze
Life is a test
Be well as you travel
The worlds that you know
Beyond the shadows
Life takes it's toll!

It blows me away
The coming of
Each and every day

Weather cold or paradise
I believe the souls
Holds light

I focus less on said afters
While in my heart
Echoes laughter

The warmth in eyes
Precious in the night
I so treasure living
I worship life...

Dear forces for good:

Please quit fighting
each other…

There’s enough good to go around!

No test
no lesson to behold
life keeps kicking me
lower then low
a snow covered tent
deep in the woods
an old abandon barns
with a caved in roof
the cold follows me
as I aimlessly trek
in search of somewhere
I haven't tread yet

Beneath every fallen star
There's a flickering light
Behind every wandering eye
There's a will to fight
Between you and I
The poetry flows
Bled from our pens
Forged in our souls

Your's are the words
That stir the soul
Rhymes and riddles
Beautiful flows
The heart beats with passion
The mind's eye travels deep
And as we power down
Our new friends
We pledge to keep...
