This is the most expensive poem I will ever write
It cost more than you know to burn this bright
I’ll be using abstract character and archetypes
Bits and pieces of brilliant bright lights
You’ll get your monies worth
Of rhymes and rhythms
You’ll tell your family and friends a new muse has risen
Treasures will fill the coffers of your spirit’s journey
A golden key twisting within your heart eternally turning!!!

Now that you’ve been paid….
Keep the change and have a beautiful day!

A melody so familiar
I could not place
Heavy on my heart
A memory erased
Perhaps purposefully
Like a slap in the face
Do you really know pain
The kind that drains
It drains the light of day
I run from such pain
Dare it be ordained
Dare you use faith to explain
Really some were made monster
In the sight of the beholders
Why, for your benefit
Yet you haven't got a clue
What I've lived through
What my heart has felt
What my eyes have seen
Still I envy you
And your place in this universe

Okay
I admit it
I am a regurgitating lecturer
I love us all!
So you should know…
Big Pharma
Is indeed
married to the FDA
And
our CDC is trying
to take our rights away!
with fake science!!!

Look into it
call it out
and most of all
kindly ask them to stop
forgive them
remember
they don’t realize
the severity of their actions

I surely was gone for a moment there
Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever make it back
So easily I lose myself out among shadows
Their spellbinding voices beckon my return
It is just a temporary lay over I assure you

The dream must go on
The stories be past down
  We are the garden keepers
Planting hope of a better tomorrow
So there for I'll always be back!

Beliefs or the lack thereof
Who should be concerned?
Indifference causes what indifference does
Perhaps in time we'll learn

They’ll either comprehend or miss the mark
Then some shall judge the latter
An impartial praise from the common man
How wisdom tends to flatter

Did he leave his mark on a simple man
The eyes that dimly see?
Did he cast a spell and from a prison cell
Set the poor sap free

Perhaps it’s some sort of play on words
Or some new feeling deep inside
Still one way or another
We all remain truly blind...

How can one trust
the voice of a poet
speaking in rhymes
metaphoric?

How can one know
the creative soul
Do you so love this world
nature composed?

Can we be sure
our words are pure?
did they come from the heart
emotionally stirred.

What guides these courses
of runaway horses?
these stallions on parade
I do believe we’re special
being chosen as vessel’s
forging a better new way!

Life will grab ya
By the genitals
Squeeze real tight
Until ya start to swell!
Hold your's safely
No one needs to fail
We all have control
Over our own hell’s
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Careful
Don’t lite a match
The truth could burn yer as..
Astronomy

Through leaky pens
Reality is revealed
Criminality assigned
Our trusted ruling class
Have more then once
Crossed the line

Vote blue by their design
Out rage feeds on sleeping minds
Truth Leakers are bad
Isn’t that what we’re to believe
After watching CNN or FOX on TV?

A soap operas
In real time syndication
Secretly in accordance’s
Behind  closed doors
Their greed starves the poor
And feeds the war
......

Looking glass of god
Are you shattered upon the earth
Broken is the prophet
Who was raised up from his birth...

Used to bring a message
Then shed like old dead skin
Open up I'm coming out
From this hell you left me in...

Let silence be our guide
And peace will set us free
Or be lost within the question
Of some ancient mystery...

Looking glass of god

And peace will set us free

I dreamed about love
so deep I cried

So beautiful and unattainable
Yet still I tried

I tried to hold on
As long as I could

Yet my dreams are so often
Misunderstood...

The conscience
Does not condone
The fate that
The future owns
So we breathe
Hope not to
Ever leave...
Some
Choose Not
To Shrink
From Death
Words
Lost to
Monstrosities
Sublime
Good times pass
Laughter echoes
Existence unwinds

I try not to feel

Spirit gives rise to soul
Soul gives rise to body
Body gives rise to mine
Love was there the whole time
........

No one is smart enough
to be wrong all the time.

I dreamed about love
so deep I cried

So beautiful and unattainable
Yet still I tried

I tried to hold on
As long as I could

Yet my dreams are so often
Misunderstood...

I hid within my shadow world
And held my breath too long
These holes within are empty parts
Where memories of you belong

I saw you in the distance
I know you saw me too
I turned my head and ran away
I think I'm turning blue
.....

I hid within my shadow world
And held my breath too long
These holes within are empty parts
Where your memories belong

I saw you in the distance
I know you saw me too
I turned my head and walked away
I think I'm turning blue
.....

I saw you in the distance
I know you saw me too
I turned my head and walked away

Somewhere
In a twisted
Loop of time
  Separate from yesterday
We were left behind
Popping in
Mostly out
Of sight and mind
A whispering shout
Echoing rhymes
Mere memories
Imprinted strong
Desperation thrives
In the early dawn

When real were things
Larger than soul
Mightier where misfits
Dared to roll
To bitter end
And back again
Inside of cave
Where meaning descend
In darker places
We all have been

And so we put
Our two cents in...

Choose a side
that fits you best.
Because obviously the other side caused this fracking mess.
And the fools that left
and the fools that followed
in a deep swap of tyranny their oligarchs wallow..
This hegemonic presence is a fierce flame to keep.
Could’ve been, should’ve been careful of all the evil that they’ve heaped..

I don't mean to be rude
But after all
That was yesterday
Moods get altered
And therefor
Feelings can change
My heart is a tainted thing

But to be fair
I get lost and I stare
But there's nothing there
I just stare in the air
It's safer not to care
...................................

It hard to be patriotic
While most of our rulers are psychotic
All their crazy has no end
They lock up the poor
Whenever they can

I won't salute their blood stained flag
Nor bow to their angry gods
I'll take a knee with Kaepernick
Now that's a worthy cause!

The lesser evil can fight it out among their selves
Dark money and propaganda are proportionate of their wealth
Corporations of greed destroying our precious planet
A war machine that kills millions to survive
Shall we just take all this for granted?
Our one percent are out of control and underhanded

Standby for a wave of american immigrants
Coming to your shores
"cause it's getting hard to be patriotic anymore.

Do you possess the ability
To connect?
To feel that knee
Upon your neck?
Does a tear flow from your watching eyes
When another human being dies?
Have you a soul of love and light
To guide your people through this night?

A change of venue
Perhaps..
Wake the Beast from his nap!
The sleep walking elite
Bound to live on their knees
Slaves to envy, hate and greed
Change is what we all need
Cause..
Indifferences is but a disease

I’ve felt that foot there before
Unable to breathe on the floor
There will always be an indentured space
Where society laid my soul to waste
But I won’t standby silently still
While innocent black folks are getting killed
................

I touched her sadness, I felt to cry
A mere spark of empathy remains
If only tears would fill my weary eyes
Yet short is my emotional pain...

I dreamt a dream that broke my heart
And cried like the pouring rain
But when I awoke my pillow was dry
In darkness my sorrow remains...

I touched her sadness, I felt to cry
A mere spark of empathy remains
If only tears would fill these dim eyes
Yet short is my emotional pain

I dreamt a dream that broke my heart
And cried like the pouring rain
But when I awoke my pillow was dry
In darkness my sorrow remains...

What you’re seeing is not fear!
I’m just running from the bear..
Your mistake is
you’re afraid of the bear..

The bear is just a divergent
that separates us from the divine.
I accept the blessings of each lesson
and express them when it’s time…

My words
allow me to climb!!!!!

I dreamt about true love
So deep I cried
So beautiful and unattainable
Yet still I tried
I tried to hold on
As long as I could
Yet my words are so often
Misunderstood...

I dreamt about true love so deep I cried
So beautiful and unattainable, still I tried
I tried to hold on as long as I could
Yet my words are so often misunderstood...

I dreamt about true love so deep I cried
So beautiful and unattainable, still I tried
I tried to hold on as long as I could
Yet my words are so often misunderstood...

Our lives are on an endless journey
Bound for a mysterious cognitive end
Come and take this hand of abandon
I promise, I’ll never leave you again

Blown down are these walls of inflexibility
Dissolved in acceptance my life’s resent
Exposed by love these insecurities
Resolved to you my true intent…

Somewhere there has to be
a window left ajar
an unlocked door
a spaceship bound for Mars

beyond these crystallized values
these ceilings of sophistication
beyond these solid grounds
of miss interpretations

I can not fit in
these ranks reject my views
no one wants to know
the reality I can prove
no…
not within this human zoo
……..

Imagine the prison cell
a room of cement and metal.
Laying on the cement benches,
comfort is not an option.
Cold stainless steel toilets in the corner
privacy is against the rules..
Now wonder to yourself,
if you will ever see the light of day again.
The plasticity of your mind forms to the brutal environment.
The food is awful
but you eat it all and want more.
Your new companions are others who are psychologically impaired from this situation of damnations.

Learn to meditate, learn to swim,
learn to look deeper within.
Until here in the forest finally free
and there's no more fear of what shall be!

Unburden my heart
With soft words or hard
Unseen unformed words
Like clay in a jar

What can my soul spring
But fountains of dreams
From the depth of divine
What will my muse bring

Unburden my heart
And set my mined free
Untainted by memories
Of the hell I have seen...

Unburden my heart
With soft words or hard
Unseen unformed words
Like clay in a jar

What can my soul spring
But fountains of dreams
From the depth of divine
What will my muse bring

Unburden my heart
And set my mind free
Untainted by memories
Of the hell I have seen...

I walk with high heart
Down troubled trails
Where living leads
Dark soul long nights
Lovers take flight
I've been down on my knees

I gather strength
In what I believe
I look through poet eyes
I trust what I see

I hold my thoughts
Like breath
'Til I find my pen
I keep my judgments
To myself
And look within

I should change?

Change to fit
Your pleasure
Your passions
Your thrills?

Change my
Conversation
Design it
To fit
Your will??

Change my perception
Inorder to accept
Your draconian ways
Your attitudes
And instincts?
Your ideologies
Are a paradoxical maze

How about
In this
Rational mind state
I remain
Unchanged!

the extrovert that thinks too much
I lose touch of my feelings
and fall out of love
I feel to get drunk
but quit at one beer
I am ready to go
but life put me here
........

Numbness of reality
A meditative process
I rather not feel
All the sudden losses
The older I get
The clearer I see
The game is stacked
Exponentially

By the darkest night’s
Of our soul
We build these defenses
We are in accord
With a game of certain
Consequences

Good or bad
It’s a hell of a ride!
But if I can help it
I won’t let anybody die..

From here onwards it’s but a dream
Much, much more then
A wish upon a star lite computer screen
Much more then a prayer to the celestial skies
From here onwards time no longer flies
The sting of life and death betrayed
From here love no longer goes astray
And this soul
Is but a fleeting feeling
when we finally let go!
What I really, really mean to express
From here onward it’s time to rest.
Then it will be time for coffee and waking up!

It’s moving ever faster now,
this reckless refusal til the end.
Still not a single choice is offered that stand a chance to win.

How on this did we agree?
We’ve been comfortably asleep in our greed.

We were but children when the programming set,
now unconscious slaves
on to our deaths.

Hay there, hope all is well with you!!

I will never label you
What ever your heart may do
Shimmer or shine
Silly or saddened  
Shy or acting lewd
We have all taken our turns
Playing the victim of fools
Shrouded in yesterday's shadows
Caught in everyday loops  
I've no need to hold you down
And make you tell your truth's

So please feel free
Be not bound
To sweet words
That only confound
I'll have no heart
But to do my part
And spread the love around
..........

These protagonists words describe
a worldview most people may not know. I do admit
I have a tendency of presenting new facts and serving them somewhat cold..
So even if for now you don’t believe, put it in the back of your mind and set it free..
Deep passion is quite luring
it gets the creative blood stirring.

Once I past
Into the nigh
Slip through
The shadow
Out of the light

Under world
Of dread
And gloom
I stayed to long
And now
I'm doomed

To surf upon
The lunar tides
In downward
Spirals
Of restless mind

Ever wanting
The passion drives
Unable to quench
This huger for life

And so...
Crash and burn
And live in sin
But don't let the shadow
Grabs a hold
Of you
My friend
...

In the undertones
Truth is known
Feel the sense of air relief
As forgiveness bestows
And for that one brief moment
Your countenance glows
Don't let strife
Be your thief
.......

If I were the monster
Under your bed
Restlessly awaiting
Your attempt at rest
I would insist
Your fears be met
Silently plotting
To make your sheets wet

As chill bumps climb
Down your **** spine
I'd sense you were one
Of the sleepy kind
As short hair *****
On the small of your neck
Let go and just connect
You're feeling fearfully fine
My claws rip into your dreams
Heavenly Hell's ecstasy
Is what you'll scream
If you make your monster me!

Here again
Summer's end
The curses
The violence
The stress within
Lunar tides
Of restless souls
Giving in to
Their earthly roles

The subconscious
Longs for stimulation
Romance, adventure
And loving relation
Some crash and burn
But have no concern
   They just need to lower
   Their expectations...

The compulsion of reality
Drives the spirit deep
Holding on to life and breath
Each challenge more unique

Sporadic the patterns of chaos
As the electrical sparks ignite
Less order in the cosmos'
And so I bid you fair good nigh
........

to express my pain
I must abstain
it’s a toxic masculinity thing!

to express an ounce of doubt
I can surely do without
The universe feeds
our hope and dreams

to clarify this read
I will express my only needs
food, water, and shelter
from the storm..

But for now I must contain
‘cause I’m sounding pretty lame
It’s time to share a beer
and leave you here
expressing all the secrets
of your heart.
