Gelid winter night
Yet this is spring.
May is now January
The frost took the place
On my face from February,
I'll dress for all the season's
That blow my way and
Tonight I'll make my stay
In summers fade
In my mind.

Scream, for love traps you
In the embrace of barbed wire
Slicing your heart wide open
With blunt, rusted razor blades

So bleed the scarlet icicles
As your soul begins to die
Dark longing surrounds you
Loneliness comes crawling

Does your heart now shatter?
Where no one dares to look
To see blistered tears Etched
On a face masked with fear

But if only you remove your mask
Mayhap the Sun may kiss it
So roses without thorns may grow
Then love could have no pain

She gave it to me at bed time. She was asleep before I got it typed in. She Is a first grader.

Sharp pain,
For days,
Leading me to say no to nail biting!
Hurts without stopping,
Sleeping helps,
Pain killers,...not really.
Excruciating pain from a tiny thing,
Take caution,
Stop biting your nails.

naming the world
is our daily task
temporary and forever new
challenging and ambiguous

   like the name of the rose

only few names last
most are forgotten
the young ones usually
do not understand

   a rose is a rose is a rose

names can move masses
   Oedipus Napoleon ****** Ghandi
   Jesus Stalin Mohammed Rockefeller
or just a few
  or one or two

names are what
remains of us
   aids to some fleeting thoughts
   in the dear memories of friends
imprinted on official pages
   and electronic discs
strange signs for future generations

to name
   against the flow of time
   what we see hear feel taste smell  and do
   our dreams and visions and desires
   the thoughts we have and those
   we do not dare to think
   and to name those we love and hate
fills our lives

  the rose is

             * *

Starlight-
Starbright
Won't you shine
Your light
Tonight.

See-through
An angel moves
Towards the coffins
Of granite
Groove's.

Cherish all
You can
Today.

Break your
Chains
Make heaven's
Stay.

So do not
Stray away from
Course, let go
Of anger
Human remorse.

For time is
Quick, and time
Is short.

Jump from
The abyss
To gods
Lit porch.

Their will be lanterns
Lit for you
Prayers aren't
Answered by your
Willing moves.

Yes god does hear
He (#) (#)
You through.

If your plans don't
Work, there are
Bigger shoes.

Shoes that you
Cannot surely
Fill, step into
Light and
Indulge in glow
That's real.

Make your
Decisions
Not based on flesh.

See the spirit
Lead you to
It's best.

For your flesh
Will lead you
Astray.

Dios, the answer
To your slumbered
Days.

let's all revel in the duplicity
duplicate posts that lack authenticity
authentic thoughts fall to the simplicity
simple minds are guilty of complicity

a new origin of no originality
original thinking crushed by formality
formal rules lead to our commonality
common perspectives to lower our mentality
