If I could control my feelings
I’d choose not to feel this way
I’d force it not to hurt
When you choose not to stay

If I could control my feelings
I’d not wear them on my sleeve
With my lovely feelings hidden
You’d be far less apt to leave

If you could control your feelings
Then you could feel some love for me
But with no control of feelings…
Our love can never be.

Swirling iridescent flitter
Too elusive to set still.
Superlatively attractive
Flitter butterfly-
If you will.
Beauty can’t be captured
True love cannot be torn
And oh my flitting butterfly
Fly away-
And I won’t mourn.

Look at this,
my pen it moves
On the paper by itself.
Look at it go
all on its own,
When I had set it on the shelf.
It’s a strange thing cause
Its writing this,
But from my point of view.
You would think that this pen
of mine,
Would have its own view too.
But the pen you see
is low on ink,
And its getting kinda scared.
With each stroke
The pen it sees,
Its ending creeping nearer.
My pen must be enchanted,
By the same muse
had hold of me.
Surely this must be magic,
to become
More than you can be.
But forces you to give it all,
You see my pen,
he doesn’t think.
So driven to scribble
and jot this,
That he just ran out of inl

I am doubt
Incarnate
Call me pessimism
A prophet
Beyond the horizon
Lies the beyond
Within a speck
All and we exist

The tea kettle whistles-
I feel its relief.
My own blood boiling
so violently
the tea is cold to me.
Sipping steaming tea
to cool my burning soul.
Fighting-
Preposterous preponderance-
Witless whim-sickle wiles
show styles of-
Deceptive discrepancies
in a cool calm
quagmire of queries.
Intensity subdued by ethos-
Small pockets of heat erupting
from mountains of flesh called-
pores.
Stores of tears dwelling,
So subtly at the ready-
corner of my eye.
The ardor climbs-
I cannot-
contain.
Listen to the steam-
Scream
from my ears.
Finally time-
pour me out.

The ugly kitten didn’t know -
He purrs.

The ugly kitten cannot see -
He sleeps.

The ugly kitten poor as can be-
He eats.

The ugly kitten all alone-
He dances.

---------------------------------------------

The ugly kitten smells a new smell -
He knows.

The ugly kitten sees her in his dreams-
He wakes.

The ugly kitten schemes and schemes-
He fasts.

The ugly kitten all alone-
He cries.

Rippling tide of light (the) horizon a mélange
Insight inside of me (my) fastidious internal ******
Behold breath-taking beauty (in) my minuscule mind
Fathoming unfathomables (of) every different kind
Magnanimous mount (in a) flowing green sea
Mustang must muster (the) strength to stay free
Battling rages inside (this) heavy hearted fool
Lasso cinching fate (our) human nature’s cruel
Taken from the wild (then) taken home and named
Though this horse was broken (she) was never tamed
