spring is hardly sure it loves the summer sun,
till the wind is warm and fruitful.

the life breathing in will quell the dread of a burning day before you; for, in the mornings, the air is fresh and chilled,
and you may graze in the openness

until the flowers fulfill you,
awaken you.

Take your forest path, your field trail, the one you marked yourself
for these moments. And bring the dogs,
let their leashes be loose,
let your soul be freed here, in this scenery.

You get to heaven.
You say "high" to everyone.
And they still are disappointed.

your eyes are forest green
what else can I ask for
I stare at them for a long time
sometimes not taking my eyes off

you ask me why I stare
and I tell  u why
I tell u I love looking at them
I can get lost in them
I never want to come back

Once a jelly
Escaped from it's mold,
It wasn't very good
With the rules
Been
Told

Heading to the ocean
To be
Weightless
And
Free

Sliding across land
And eventually
Landing
On  
Sand

A small climb
Into the
Brine

Floating around
A jellyfish
Was found,
It was love at first
Wobble
And
Bobble

In no time at all
Some offsprings ensured,  
Who was to
Tell them  
It couldn't happen?

And as they matured,  
Came to be
Called
Gelateenagers

You tickled my funny bone

Just when under the rose I believed
myself a casualty

Maybe you're the one for me?

But I'm theory weary

Suspicious of the auspicious

You might bite down too hard

Spill me like grape juice

A septic drink offering destined
for the graveyard

Or worse

You might follow me like a shadow
of doubt

Until at day's end, you tire of each
dubious step I measured out

And then off you will go

Looking for someone new to bake
your cake

I already see tendencies to seal
my fate

But, my viral *****, today was a gas

About tomorrow?

I'll have to pass

Man
I draw on cigarettes,
Doodle with resin-
Blisters on my fingers,
They all think I'm playin'.
The colors brown & red
Are escaped when I shut my eyes,
And when I turn my face inside
I'm fine with what I see.
It's not dark, pretty light-
It's all clear skies,
Even with a chance of showers
There's always a sunrise.

Across the boundless tapestry of time,
I have wandered through forgotten ages,
Shrouded in myriad guises,
Each existence a thread woven into an eternal fabric,
Circling endlessly, always seeking resolution.

Every life, a fleeting echo,
A delicate brushstroke on the canvas of eternity,
A dance in the vast cosmic symphony,
Reaching for a union so profound—
Yet slipping away, like mist before the dawn.

I have carried the weight of centuries,
The ache of memories etched deep in my bones,
Trapped in the cyclical dance of transient meetings,
Glimmering for a moment
Before dissolving into the shadows.

Our moods wax and wane from thin crescent to full brightness
But we have a Darkside stone cold, black as night, hidden behind us
The course of our lives rise and fall like ocean tides as we circle months and years

We protest, riot, plead for causes and ask for money
Laws are past and mandatory training is put in place to change us to right thinking people
There no more change then light passing over our face

Caught in humanities’ gravity
We circle birth and death
Unaware of the whole of ourselves

The earth is our home
All that inhabit the earth are our family
We will glow like the sun giving and receiving empathetic warmth
