So unfortunate sometimes
My beliefs are limited
By my ruling intellect
But when I feel your pain
It takes away my every breath
Love cannot be limited
By yesterdays views
Today I'm just as broken
As broken as you
Please forgive me
For my truths

Beyond the light our demons bite
Our spirits gather in plasmatic flight
Upon entropy elementals feed
Used up magic, envy and greed

Portals open and bid us within
As we fight to regain our former sins
We are one yet containing all
Such is the force of kinetic law

A resonation of migrating souls
Not even the black stage can hold
Great White lodges, astral planes
Deities appear to rule and reign

Part I

In the subtlety of change
Slowly evolving beyond
Those Old Wives Fables
And Big Bangs of god's

In a constant deception
Bringing on the clowns
Clad in white washed
Tie died hippy gowns

Feeding us in withering
Free fall through space

Bound to our legacy
   To be erased...

There shall still
Be you and me
Within the ashes
Of entropy
....................

I've seen it
I've touched it
I've held it in mind
I lingered in that cave
And left the world behind

Until it occurs to me
That  living was the goal
To experience every bit
Of pain and pleasure
As I suffer growing old

And so I gather happiness
And store it in my soul
Right above my sadness
And a handful of woes...

Uncommon are the necessary
Common denominators of thought
That can unlock the prison of mind

As is irreducible
This eternal enigmatic maze
As our personal stories unwind

Deity becomes accessible
In the privacy of heart
But lost upon the multitudes
Of religions so far apart

And this too shall pass
Is but wisdom of the weak
As we're locked in a free fall
Hoping to land on our feet

And perhaps I know nothing
Of tears that fill your eyes
Or hearts that beat in suffering
Or the arrogance of human pride

But I will not lie to myself
Or pretend that I am special
I am but a molecule
Just a single particle...

It has been broken
For several years
Not a word of truth
Unspoken stares
I'm not the one
Who hurt you there

I am a bad man
That's the name of my song
But I have never
Ever did you or anybody wrong

Invisible
The rest of your story
The parts you fail to compose
It's hard to see through subjective glory
Posted in italics and bold
But there beneath your cover creases
We can peep your fragile brittle pieces
Here and there scattered about
Your note and tags
Could never hide your doubt
Oh my dear friend let it pour
Upon the page, give us more
Put away the avatar
Let it shine who you are
Take a little advice from me
Let the pen set you free!

I posses a lust
For things I know
Should never ever be
I hide these feeling
Beneath my smile
As my shameful
Demons flee

I'm sure at this time
You have your doubts
That's why
I wouldn't ever
Want to be found out

  Unlike the man
In the trench coat
I take a completely
Different approach
And so...
This is all that
I'll expose
A shadow of
My lustful soul
.............................

We embrace our flaws
Emotional lesions scar
We confess vaguely
Truths of who we are

An eye watches from deep within
Every thought and curse we send
The mask we choose for each occasion
The thought of witness breeds mutation

The carefree dies
And we become
One with source
When we're done...

From the underworld
I arrived
Into the light
That often blinds
Oh thank the heavens
   For my rational mind...?

I am safe within this moment
I invite you to feel as calm
pay no attention to all the chaos
the collective’s fear is strong!

Us creatives have the task
of invoking our higher selfs
learn to sing in higher octaves
distribute our supplemental wealths

The pass is but a thought
the future we must imagine
I will channel my energy
in a moment of loving compassion

Twelve billion years, I’m still here
Existing beyond the void of love and fear
Where nowhere becomes somewhere
And emptiness becomes me
Bound by the hierarchies
And called of spirit to be free

Subjectively pursuing the objective life’s best
My soul ever fighting this simple-minded quest
Still I proceed and the vanity never ends
As fast as I can put it down, I pick it up again

A god that ascends or a god that descends
It makes me no never mind
I probably worshipped one or the other
In a better vanished time

Time in a moment disintegrates
Love like a molecule evaporates
Thoughts are like clouds passing over real loud
On into this world they penetrate
Solutions with new problems that complicate

Blinded by neuroses my desires run wild
I turn over control to my inner lost child
Developmental damage on the ladder of my soul
Pretending not to notice my issues become my foes

Twelve billion years, somehow I’m still here

Are you awake
Enough to be
An overseer
Of liberty

Do you see
Both far and wide
Out beyond
Some foolish pride

To tolerate
To liberate
To inspire
Another
Human's fate

And if so
And I know if you really know
You have been here before
In this humanistic role
Don't stop believing
You're nearing your goal
....

Is it the riddle
Is it the rhyme
Is it the rhythm
As words unwind

Flavor to taste
Rewritten
Erased
Paragraphs
Down
Rabbit hole
Caught
In a chase

The answer
For me
Is this
Emotional
Chemistry
It signals
My heart
To set
My soul
Free...

Dawn sparks with a silent scream
Drawn through the matrix into this dream
Without delay we gasp for air
The soul is invisible, the flesh is bare

What is life but an impending death
A drowning pool where we struggle for breath
We take it in but we can’t hold on
We fade like footprints out on the lawn

A fleeting moment this one night stand
From nowhere to somewhere and back again
Why can’t we remember, why can’t we forget
Why should we perceive the end as a threat

The essence of spirit merges with the physical
We search for meaning, we embrace the mystical
But in the end we fall asleep alone
Yet this one-night stand we gladly condone...

My muscles are fatigued
So will you please
Hold this world
For me?

If you can't hold on
you'll lose yourself in stages
parts of you have already fallen behind
Try to gather yourself up
being human can be tough
abusiveness is an ugly thing
don't believe the things that you're saying
At Least Try
..........................

In an effort
To be rewritten
Or rather
Be rid of
A lack of remittance
And a reputation there of

I leap into the darkness
Of a complicated mind
One must ride the lightning
To justify the lines

Though these insinuations
Seem intended to intrigue
Never mistake a Traveler
  For some old hippy freak...

Writing site English Professor's
This is a poetical community
And not a writing class
I am sure you're educated
Hell
I would surely bet your ***!
But you see
Here's the thing
You're not one of us
No not yet...
And the higher intelligence
You're trying to hold over us
Is seeming less and less...
So when you're done
Pointing out
All our writing flaws
Uneven syllables
And broken poetical laws
Maybe read the thoughts
Of talented creative minds
And try to leave your arrogance
In your sublime...

This is not a poem
Oh how I wish it was!
I wish it could make you cry
I wish it could make you blush
Oh how I wish I could express my need for love

But this is not a poem
I'm just a writer
Alone
.....

Sometimes people forget
Here you have equal respect
No short change
No Poet is that deranged
Your as whole as I
I hold all your love inside
I dream you as a queen
And I’m your partner
A simple king
Together we sing
Hear my heart love
Let it ring
In your ear
I need you to help me steer
At your feet
I am near
.......................

Refuse to suffer
For what is not true
The state of heaven
Is lost in false rules
All the fear
Wounds on our hearts
We had no choice
Right from the start
Happiness runs
Far and quite deep
Open your heart
Let your love leak!

This isn’t a case
Of writers block
Tides have turned
The winds have stopped
Unread poems
Stacks stuck at home
Unposted unknown
Dear Hellopoetry
You’re moving to slow

All my thoughts
Demand to rhyme
Contemplating
Line by line
My muse insist
What evil is this
This download of
Poetic upheaval

With a cyber grip
Eliot control the list
Where approval declines
Poetically confined
Dear Hellopoetry
Pleases
Toll the line!

The fear is limited
To the chills up the spine
Ghosts cling to the living
Spirits cling to good times

The music and laughter
Binds the trance
The heart beats
In mysterious rhythms
Paranormal enhanced

Waxing from a Libra moon
The shadow worlds ignite
Young at heart soar forever
In a restless states of fight

The veil of Samhain
Be opened wide
Let wandering soul roam free
As we celebrate another year
   Of Natures selfless deeds ...

God, why are you so paranoid?

Within the warmth
Of our snow covered chalet
Driven by my passion  
I sat playing guitar all day

I played from my heart
With all of my soul
Harmonic balance
As the creativity flowed

The perfect palm mute
Sound reverberating by design
All my poetic passion
Came to life

Achieving Nirvana
The tears filled my eyes
I played a guitar solo
That caressed my mind

Pain put to sound
No one else around
Except my girlfriend
Playing with her device
Not even a "that sounds nice"

And so I played
To the light of day
To the nagging cold
That's come my way...

The sky vividly alive, illuminated with the stars and planets
The night charged with vibrant summer sounds
The forest menacing with nocturnal creatures
Who upon our retirement, await to plunder the camp ground

The surface of the lake reflects the high summer moon
So peaceful and calm like an old mother’s womb
A feeling of true freedom like the owl’s evening flight
Time stands still this midsummer night

The campfire dances as we all gather round
Stories and laughter as our marshmallows brown
Peaceful is our sleep as our spirits smile
And even upon hard ground it’s all worth the while

We awaken to the early show so vividly underway
With just a hint of the morning dew the cool humid night has laid
A breeze so mild it forces a smile of fresh new forest green
Busy squirrels and singing birds enjoy all that life will bring

The laughing cry of the loons and swallows on the lake so old and free
The presence of Indian spirits in the surrounding ancient trees
Dragonflies like fairies fly embrace the tortoise shell
Yellow flowers on the lily pads where croaking bullfrogs dwell
Crawdads and minnows reminisce of yesteryear
When we were only children still wet behind the ears

I waited
and watched
no one came
I applied myself
just the same
There on the horizon
a spark a blur
I never believed
that I deserve

There is so much more
That I want to see
All around the world
And in between

Tastes, sights
And places afar
Where ever friendly faces
And opening arms

So much more
To be consumed
This planet we're on
Is a fruitful womb

A meal a beer
A sample of the yield
Blackberry, blueberry
Strawberry fields

St. Ambrose Bees
Sweet honey mead
I want to sample
Every good thing I see!

   I am that
Western Traveler
    Indeed
   ...

Whisk me away oh Devil
To a land of precious lies
Where sleeping beauties dream
In falsehoods synchronized

To where
Creatures clad in dark attire
Cater to our dark desires
These beasts who bleed
Our burden dry
Underneath a wicked sky

Cemetery sunrise gathering gloom
Pine away in tomorrow's tomb
Baby statues with broken wings
Frozen postures, silent screams

Burning at the stake of wrath
Hell is but a well worn path
Leading to a putrid end
   Broken wings of human sin...

....all you ever do is watch politics,
play guitar and write poetry....

...what did you use the Charge Card for this ti'me...,,,....,,,,...
....we just can't afford to take care of everybody....

Really!...another bottle...
                                 ......ya I expected such from you...

Stacks of memories
In a recycle bin
Pulling 'em out
Putting 'em in

Remember whens
Where we like to go
Never forget 'ers
Imprinted on soul

Lost in piles of files in flesh
Moments we were not at our best
Dark nights come and slowly fade
Until grey matter triggers spark replay

Up front the nows
The essence of living
The thankfuls to be
The resentful misgivings

The never forgets
Forgives and regrets
All the wins, the losses
The deaths
  
Yet there's still plenty of room
For those good memories
We haven't made yet...

Awaken onto nature
Set your spirit free
Mighty are her waters
Ancient are her trees
Open wide oh starlit sky
Magical summer heights  
Mighty forest kingdom
Feathered furred in flight
Embrace her in the mornning
Evening tides roll out
In the cycle of her Venus
Ending way down south
Love her when she's frozen
She shall thaw again
Awaken on to Nature
Enjoy Her
While you can!

I’m lost in the forest
I don’t seem to care
Helicopter can find
Anyone  anywhere
So I’ve set down to rhyme
Well actually
I’m looking to find
All that I lost
Within my mind
Oh my girl is worried
And my friends
Are hot on my trail
Tell me again how bad
I’m evil

I dreamt you were still a child
As if time had just stood still
I was paralyzed in great despair
By your wounds I could not heal
I held you tight and cried aloud
To curse my wicked soul
For leaving you so far behind
So many years ago

Black hole hourglass
Time ******* through
How do you deal with
Entropy as a muse?

As I continue to confront
My own philosophies
My ideologies
Of democracy
Equality
My ecological world views
Balancing the unrest
Of human suffering
And the invertible destitution
Of humankind

I walk through a beautiful forest
So alive and thriving
For a brief moment
I am at one with life
..........

(Today in world news)

All those people in the streets
coming together as one!
There must be a million of them expressing their rights and doing their duty as citizens.
America will always be separated. That’s the way they keep that from happening here.

The frequency of my love
Is in the strokes of my heart
Beating in atonement
With my music and my art

Lifting ever higher
The vibration of my will
I have come to realignment
Where peace is all that’s real!

(Romanticized not derogatory)

A bard is a poet
But not all poets are bards
I love to sing
And play my guitar

Dancing comes natural
Spinning on one toe
I take a gracious bow
Into a power pose

I’m more then the rest
My poetry’s the best
I recite the hero’s creed
I lead the chant
In a warrior stance
Into the violent streets

The news of the day
Rolls off of my tongue
Stanzas dressed to please
To the local tavern
The patrons run
To drink and brawl with me

Barmaids to breed
Sweet honey mead
The good life
Yes the good life indeed!
I make a loud toast
A salute to our host
Another round on me!

Upon a stool in the darkness of day
I once loved a rather pretty bar maid

Drunken drowning in and out of sorrows
Here today and gone tomorrow
Behind the bar the mirror reflects
A pitiful image of self neglect
Nobody actually knows your name
Yet you keep coming back just the same...

Happy hour comes and dies
As we stumble in our pride
In harmony with our woes
Last call near time to go
One more drink, another smoke
One more lie start to choke...

I soak on home to dry
A pretty friend stops on by
I spark a fire and shine
I pretend that you're still mine
Tomorrow comes and I'm alone
Upon a bar-stool getting ******..

Swirling winds of endless time
Slowly erode the weary mind
A mind programmed to forget
When a hundred harvest moons have set
When barn and wagon have termites eaten
Beyond repair to bear repeating
The sun shall turn, the earth shall set
When shadows of doubt become regret


Out here beyond few seasons
I bear the stains of logical reason
With eyes full of brilliant light
So as the devil out of mind and sight
Entities unseen, invisible beings
And the non-existing
Surely share a similar theme
....

All the gods are now asleep!
So..
You might want’a get back on your feet!
Now the power is in our hands!!
We can decide to be happy or not give a ****..
Love thy self,
in to good health and a positive peace of mind.
Take a jog and lift some weights..  
Make the best of life!
……
To the bar!

Drunken philosophers
cannot be educated
simply hold your tongue
while their intoxicated
tomorrow morning
they’ll be momentarily wise
wondering why
they feel dead inside!
to many drink
and we’re on the brinks
trying to tell
the world what to think
oh how
these wet brain sinks!

@(%^#
Life can get quite messy
As lovers weave their webs
I am but a ink spot
Some womanizer left
Trust don't mean true
So, what's it to you?
You could be a *******
Just like you know who
