Nighttime has its crime
And daylight has its violence
I’ll travel to the Saturn of time
And try to turn back the smiles
I gave to those with their pseudo-love-
Crows disguised as doves
I came to play like a child
With a pill upon my tongue
They came to conquer their desires
By dissolving right from wrong
Cause nighttime has its violence
And daylight has its crime
I break the hearts of those I love
When love is what I had in mind
I’ll travel back to Pluto
Fade out into the galaxy
But I’ll live on like the setting sun
Rising in the east
I need a change
I need a change
a young rainforest has yet to know of the world
the harsh reality of mistrust, humiliation, and disappointment
but maybe thats the charm of it all
trees strung about in a wild fun mess of branches
smells of flowers and mildewy ferns on the floors
welcomes me to close my eyes and be comfortable
every little detail has its own story to tell
every little creature a character of its own
in between the plants it whispers to me
songs and tales of the forest's past, present, and future
the surface of it so bright and colorful
and the bottom so dark and wonderfully cool
for each drop of rain that falls feels warm against the skin
embracing me as one of its own
not knowing of what I have seen and felt before.

But that does not matter,
for the rainforest is handsome, compelling, and full of surprises,
it takes when it can and gives even more-
optimism that everything is alright,
that when I am in such a beautiful place,
there is no reason to worry-

in truly heartbreaking silence,
I think to myself-
I hope I never have to leave.

The owls are at play
Tonight as they strike
With cunning precision
And knowledge as they
Claim their prize and
Prey always knowing
With their giant and
Knowing and ancient
Eyes seeing everything
Both physical and
Mystical as they
Peer into the night
As they peer into
The day their eyes
Know the truth of it
All as they soar into
The sky and find
Refuge during the
Day only to come
Out at night to play
In their moonlit
Playground as
They navigate
The Stars and Moon
As she plays with
Her children of the night
When the animals and
The owls come out the
Moon is at her happiest
And she smiles at the
Owls as they owls
Knowingly smile
Back at her as she
Softly illuminates
All to see for their
Eyes to perceive to
Their prize and
Their prey as the
Owls begin their
Dangerous play
And when they are
Done and the Moon
Has set once again
In her beautiful nest
In the sky the owls
Once again retreat to
Their nests on the Earth
To return to play with
The Moon once again

On a Sunday it was dark; girls infatuated with attention
Consuming on facebook uploads, and hashtags that have no explanation for your comprehension
I stand alone in a world, a total suspension
From the societies of fake likes and relationships and self pent up tension
I had faith in you, but your beliefs are not worthy of my mention
For the things you lived for, the mundane delusions that causes your detention
For you are detained in your self- created stress and your feverous passion that is derived by convention
You are stuck in a world not yours, and once I tried to liberate you from it you couldn't stop clinging and clench'n
To your false priorities and you call this a life… you call yourself living when your hollow ego and pride has out shadowed your repention
And sin became a right, and good became a privilege, all this in the world craving attention…


Souls like me are buried, embodied by peace we have with our existing forms
Free thinkers; attached to our beliefs and religious rituals yet deviated from your filthy sociological norms
And values we have created and you chose to forget
And destinies we work to change, yet your destinies are set
For sheep follow each other into circles of indecorous confusion
And every one of you follows what he thinks is fun, or cool or the trendy illusion
We have reached a time when we follow people, not thoughts, material not ideas and we demand respect
How could I respect clones? For their values become lower than that of an insect...
I trusted you were different, but I grew beyond that thought and realized you're the same
You just yearn for the spotlight, live on opinions, and follow your low life leaders into a path of misleading fame…

The sun is setting in the pretty west
The colours reflect in the mountain stream
All the birds fly homeward to their warm nest
And I go homeward so I too can dream.
The katydids are calling from green grass
Mingles with the sound of the waterfall
Reminds me of golden days that have passed
I hear the beautiful wood thrush's call.
The lilacs fill my bedroom with perfume
Her petals were made by gifted fairies
I put her in a vase so she can bloom
All through my room her perfume carries.
God make my life to brighten other's more
I hear the sweet wood thrush's call no more.

Tallulah
On the coast
In a pickup truck
We made a toast
To unfortunate luck

You traced my hips
Whispering my name
With those chalked lips
A shiver ran up my frame

You held me there
Where land kisses sea
On a blue sphere
You fell for me
