The attacking bear is not evil,
he is merely hungry.
There is no such thing as evil!
Nope, just a lot of hungry demons out there, looking for a meal.
Don’t take it personally
and for god’s sake don’t assume
evil is after you.

In each and every spatial direction
Time is steadily consumed
Take aim for the here and now
Let comfort be your muse
....

She finally broke
With sobbing tears of youth
The lesson learned
Never tell the truth

In a desperate display of despair
Her development arrested there...
That part of her regressed to child
She forgets about life for a while.

She cuts her body
in order to  
Hide emotional pain
Invisible now
those issues that remain

She's the one
with heart undone
Emotionally blind
and on the run
Pretending to be unaware
And so I bear her worry
Because I care...

Becoming aware, I break from my stare
And wonder how long I’ve been dreaming
The time has come to fight or run
Which sets my busy mind scheming

In my defense I take an awkward swing
What consequence shall my actions bring
To cover the truth or to blatantly lie
Is all the same, it festers inside

Becoming aware, I break from my stare
And wonder if perhaps I'm dreaming

In my waking
The chaos sinks
I waist no time
To stop and think

The moment is now
I ponder my world
My deadlines
My children
My special girl

Pet my dogs
Sip my coffee
Hit a bowl
Write a poem

Work out
Play guitar
Walk in nature
Off I go
To bed alone

As the bird sings
My poetry flows
Every day
I sing and go
So
While on yer busy flight
Buzzin the flowers
For the Queen
Or yer honey delight

Stop and give a listen
‘Cause like the bird
It’s an audience
We’re-all-a-missing

::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..::..;:.­.;;

I watched it bending, breaking
Blowing in the wind
Every time I turned around
It fell apart again
Still I've held it in my arms
Back when we were young
And I could never let you go
Before the last breath comes
.........

If I offered it all
Upon the alter
There’d only
Be ashes left
So I hold tightly to
This fading light
With every
Gasping breath

I dreamt the dreams
And touched the touch
I’ve Stumbled through
The darkness
Of love’s tainted trust
And here upon
My own two feet
Beginning again
Who shall I meet?
Optimism
Keep's me alive!

Dread is alive
Roaming the earth

Feeds on low vibes
Oppression gives birth

Without a warning
Beyond a clue

Dread is a cold night
   Waiting for you...

Run and play now
Poetic child

But beware the dread
   Behind a smile...

Through spirit realms
Through lover's eyes
Invisible doorways
Where secrets hide

I seek the unknown
As chill bumps rise
I seek the truth
Of her and I

The points in time
We leave behind
The keys
To love unknown
By the brilliance
Of the poetic mind
Envisioning streets
Of gold

Holding on tight
To the breath of life
To sustain me
one more mile
Beyond this darkness
Into her light
If only
For a while...

Behind reason
Fear resides
Under an illusion of control
We walk tall into nights

Where entropy awaits
The ashes of stars
I fear a new existence
Means less than we are

And so here I try to imagine
What more there could be
In the end of all I know
Fear resides within me...

What is behind an eye
A place where a fear resides
A love that stretches
Both far and wide

Far more than a place
To simply mask a lie
There's so many different eyes
So many bright and brilliant shining eyes

Does eye color somehow matter
Can blue eyes feel sadness sadder
The odds favor your eyes to be brown
Which are some of the nicest folks around

Or perhaps these descriptions are stereotypes
Because green-eyed people just love to fight
And eyes with freakish hues of silvers and blues
Can capture your heart and run you through

Yet from a common unfounded point of view
My eyes are hazel and a bit red too
In the perfect shadow of a wicked moon
They can appear a shade of handsome blue

But let me not lead your reading eyes astray
Hazel stands for slimy green goo turning grey
And the stereotype that fits us like any made up lie
That an iris could ever affect the person behind the eyes

I love being
In the pilot seat
In control
On my feet
If we converge
I am
Who you’ll meet
So I celebrate simply being
A state quite freeing
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the wings of angels my love I send
Across the great divide
My message they've written in dust of stars
Which reflect within your eyes

The days shall come, the gods shall smile
And their nectar we shall taste
These doors and locks shall soon fall open
And together we will embrace

So break the chains of loves gone bad
Such clouds get in the way
The source of our power is to let love flow
So believe in us I pray

I faced the demon of lies who lives within my soul
Now there’s no way in hell I’d let your people go
I mortify my love in the fires of your pain
Burning eternally hot, did you spread my fame?
Blood red those evil eyes, sing a wicked lullaby
Relax, don’t cry, there’ll be time to pay when you die
Do you believe in sins redeemed, do you believe in dreams?

Let the sun beat down and shine on us
While we sing and dance, in god we trust
And when it rains which it eventually will
Let’s blame the devil for the rage we feel
Let every man, woman, boy and girl
Find their place in this crazy world
And crazier yet before we die
Let’s take a chance and believe some lies

What say you
That you and I
Finally meet

You can be
All knowing
And I'll
Be belief

I'll warn you
Of the fires
Burning
Down below

Surely
You'll know better
Then to believe
When you know
...

As my voice disappeares
You intend to hurt
Your words are rocks
My heart an easy target
You bleed the freak
I have so many bull's-eyes
You know them all
I trusted you with secrets
My shame my guilt

Seven years yet I know little about you
Well played.

Now my heart grows hard and cold
Who will I become?

No matter a poet’s personal views
we are all symbiotic
with the eternal muse..

Just when you think you have it all figured out
a new pattern distorts the mystery..
All a poet can possibly do
is try to be on the right side of history.

We hold to our truths
as cogs in a divine façade.
In a matrix that’s much too copious
to possibly know it all.

Emotional states distort our perceptions.
Love and hate
the eternal *******..

The plasticity of heart allows a path
to bending without breaking…
A dark night of the soul,
several or so
can lead you to an awaken.

Soft and silky, soothingly smooth
Are words that describe her skin
I can't help but dream about her
Every now and then

Gentle, kind and selflessly caring
Are words that expose her soul
I know I made a big mistake
So many years ago...

Dear Betrayal
You’ve always been near
You limited loving
Intimidator...

You lured me in
Your deceitful web
Moths of time
Dried up dread

I don’t take it personally
The action of wrong
I never assumed
You meant to stay long

The waters shall wash
And so soon we shall see
The truths that uphold
Our inventories

Dear Betrayal
I forgive you
I wish you the best
And so I shall sleep on
Straight through your mess!

As I walk into the storm
I leave my past behind
The fourth son scorn
The outlaw torn
The thorn within
Their pride

I exist invisibly
Deep inside their minds
A passing thought
A forgotten walk
Through bitter better times

If I go casing winds
I'll make my way
To you
Close my mind
Fall behind
Someday
When I'm through!

Military wise
We have the same capabilities
as we had in the 90’s..
But now it’s 2024
We cannot contend with BRIC’s  economically nor defend against their weapons.
Many of our senators want war anyways
It’s time to change our policy.

(Not a poem, a wake up call)

It's actually a very simple thing
Every human on earth deserves
To live with dignity
  Food, shelter and love...
I'm doing all I can to make up
For the deficiency.
An innocent eye opens at birth
How will they view the world
With a hungry heart
Or a hungry belly
Sheltered form the storm
Or lost in the tempest
World views can change
It we get our hearts in the game!
Make the world a better place
Please!
...........................................

Some times when
The shells are dropping
All around your position
It become hard to stay awake

And in my dreams
Gravity is defied
RV spaceships
Floating in the sky

Aliens on a mission
Irrational fears engage
Dread beyond despair
In the part of the brain
Where the horrors of the day
Are processed and stored away
Rapid eye movement
Chaotic breathing
Unconscious bumps and beatings

The world ended so many times
Over and over waking up
In that prison cell
But somewhere
Some how
We find peace...

Sure there's a difference between us and them
Yet everyone needs acceptance in the end
And there’s no reason to point and shout
We all have plenty of time to prove ourselves
Let’s not label them as ****** up and lost
With our imperialistic history
Where do we get off?

Drawn like dust into wayward winds
Across barren straits ‘til we live again
These forces that form this universe
Direct our love with unquenchable thirst

My ghost gets trapped between these worlds
As I hauntingly await my special girl
Until we begin again in a time of new
I’ll wait and watch and dream of you

Free will gets lost within this stage
No soul breaks free of true love or rage
At nights I whisper in your sleeping ear
We’ll be together again soon my dear

How long can we keep this going
Our leaders are bought and by the establishments stolen
We have no say, we lack the speech$$$
Our lack of money is what they seek
The status quo, evil on earth
Military Complex
Wall street
Big Pharma
The beast gives birth!

That's what I saw on the news
God help the earth!

All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again

When I was but one
Trapped in this verse
Clinging to the lowly
In line with death's birth
For the many I did bleed
Never to be reverent for my deed
Such an empty sacrifice of vanity...

Possibilities  extend well beyond reason
Even magic cries out treason
The knowing knew yet could not prove
The feeling felt beyond itself
The dreamer dreamt in waking hours
Was not the heart the true source of power?
A conjured thought manifest
Such is god and nothing less...

They bleed into grey
The global visions of our day
Until the well trodden trail
Becomes our way

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

Yet it occurs to me
That  living is the goal
To experience every pleasure
As we inevitably grow old

Perhaps we came here
Simply to experience life
The good, the bad
The happy, The sad
Back and forth throughout time
Til we return to Source

I need to be going now
That's what Travelers do
Stay long enough to break
And bend all the rules
Transmittal received
Please call home
Somewhere from beyond
The danger zone...

Here the shadows hide
In the stressful darkness of wandering thoughts
When ever I'm here and where ever I get lost
It's not my fault
That's what lovers do
  I never meant for this to happen
  To you...

I could never quit
Give up on being hip
Take a back seat
***** whipped
Don't tell me
To watch my lip
Cause I will never quit

I refuse to grow old
Within this flesh
Covering my soul
I feel as new
In cognitive view
Not quite as slow
I refuse to be old

A mere want
To exist
An eternal
Bucket list
Refilled
Relived
Refuse
To quit
And so
I live
!!!

Never take for granted
The ability to disclose
The direction of your intent
As your poetry starts to flow
And never take for granted
The necessity to divulge
Where the hell you're going
As your poetry begins to evolve
Let the vagueness of our premise
Be set free within the lines
Let the prudence of the poet
Speak far beyond the rhymes...

Peace on earth or just a dream
Angelic whisper or demonic scream
Magical wonders that feel so real
Leaps of faith that are known to ****

Dawn cast my shadow far beyond
Dusk settles my shadow, soon be gone
Does my shadow see more than I
‘Tis darkness past my shadow by
When my body shall turn to worm
**** my shadow if it returns
Cast it into the great abyss
May this shadow of doubt cease to exist.

I find myself staring into space
contemplating assumption of the unknown
A whisper within and my awareness extends
another aspect of my identity has shown

The unknown is not a lie it is simply unknown
Like the truth behind the eyes of a lover
Exclusively yours to cherish or deplore
-That is-
When ultimately the conclusions are discovered

Yet I can't help but believe that science deceives
And emptiness and nothing are lies
The only measurement of success is lost to death
For we are compelled by existence to strive

The ladder of evolution distorts our sights
From limited to limitless we climb by night
A simpleton above, a genius below
We are only limited by what we think we know

The mind may lie but the spirit knows
In dreams I've seen my lives of old
Imprinted attributes of all that I am
Angels, demons, lions and lambs

- In conclusion-
Beyond truth no question remains
Living and dying are one and the same...

Globally speaking
Corporate conglomerates
Existential threat
Chemtrails of graphene
Radically altered atmospheric chemistry
Highly toxic particles
Falling from a fragile sky
I suspect we're all gonna die..

On the spectrum of energies
I am actaully a positive charge  
Where you see negativity
I'm not willing to starve
Where you bow down
And forfeit your voice
I am really loud!
I have no choice
But to be the big mouth
Liberal in the crowd
...........

Clowns
Faceless whites
Big wide smiles
Lips pulled tight
Red round noses
Beady bigot eyes
World view
That never die

Clowns
In circus tents
Big White Houses
Police agents
Big pink elephants
Fill the ring
Clowns
Are running everything!

Mesmerized by a long forgotten melody
Spellbinding this haunting familiar sound
Reminds me of the victim I used to be
It strikes an emotion that brings me down

Unfathomable these pulsating rhythmic electric vibes
That make up the hidden parts that keep us alive
Reaction that cause us to revisit tragic memories
Which don't seem to have any quick remedy

Sounds, smells and things we see
Dramatic experiences are also triggers and keys
There are many ways through the unconscious realm
Such as lucid dreams and hypnotic spells

Displaced aggression, confused emotions
Inappropriate behavior, addictive devotions
All stem from unresolved issues of life so bitter
Stored in gray matter by chemical transmitters

But I have yet to mention the infamous soul
Which we place our hope in as our bodies grow old
A ghost that exists beyond that which can be measured
And holds the mysteries of life's greatest  treasures...

TWM

At the quantum levels
the wormholes connect..
Muse is but a solar radar
where particles redirect..

The patterns open
in a dopamine state..
Brilliant thoughts
begin to race..
Write them down
before they fade..
We are merely antenna
in the bio waves..

"Compromise"
Superimposed to make it fit
A bitter wine still we sip
And waste away in drunken slumber
The heart is weak and prone to blunder

All this arguing weighs a ton
Callously tired my heart grows numb
Her intolerance ringing in my ear
I drink my wine and disappear....

How dose it really feel
To just get up and go....?
Perhaps you subsequently already know
Perhaps you left, maybe even yesterday
Could you explain how true love
Could possibly, suddenly decay
How long where you planing to never come back?
When did your devious heart turn black?
Turning my world upside down
Even my smile
Hooks like a frown.....

There’s uneasiness
In the waves between

A nagging emptiness
Of unfulfilled routine

Can you truly claim
You’re living your dream?

It was a beautiful day
When I lifted the shades
It seemed as if things
Were going my way

Then I noticed the shadow
Coming up from the rear
It fell on a black day
My greatest fear

I'll shake it off
Sleep'in real late
That's how it goes
In a world full of hate
...

I'm not willing to chance it,
casting judgements through my eyes.
I hold my observations
so as to keep my heart alive.
Sure,
I've been through hell and back,
as much as I could take.
Still I refuse to let hell take from me
the reason I escaped.

I won't condemn the blind,
nor the folly's of the meek.
Besides..
Casting judgement is an indication
that karma will repeat.

Behind gothic eyes her shadows hide
Silence screams from deep inside
I try to ease her soul’s unrest
What went wrong I can only guess

Black and red yet dark as lies
Mascara runs, I know she cries
Cotton under a woolly fleece
She’s running from the dream police

Silver rings pierce her skin
But will she ever let me in …

Guitars distort an angry tune
A song of lovers surely doomed
Is she with me, she says yes
She says life's a ******* mess

I kiss her lace; she takes me home
Tonight she won’t bleed alone...

It's not there any longer
That sparkling loving glow
I see you reaching out for
Someone else to hold...
You've an itch deep beneath
Scratch it as you may
I will write this unread poem
And bleed another day!

You have one of the most beautiful soul I have ever come across.
Not a single blemish on your body could represent your eternal self.
With eyes that see through, I look upon the beauty of your eternal youth.
See what you may of my surface and wonder of my underneath,
I am but the spring of passions and countless quantum leaps.

Are we blessed
Or are we ******
All this beauty
And suffering

One seems less
The other extreme
One is so real
It chokes out your dreams

Yet clinging to life
Takes more then it seems
It's like gasping for air
And trying to scream

Ya, it's not that bad
For everyone...
I guess we're all blessed
When it's all said and done
..................................................

Parasitical
This brain of mine
Steadily being eaten
By the worms
Of times
Yet still
We are of truth
I am of flesh
I am a breath
Away from death

It uses me
My poetic muse
The words flow free
Aesthetically bruised
From above and beyond
From without and within
Thoughts come together
And impossibly blind
Stanza after stanza
Line after line
Each verse a maze
A map
Of a poet’s mind
I am but a
Issue stricken poet
With a brilliant muse
Blessed to be in a world
So easily amused
..............
