The interconnectedness between fallen leaves of autumn and the act of letting go,
This time I don't need hope, I guess i figured out that I'll always find a way to glow.
Every part of me I've ever lost, to my perforated spirit, it's time to get them stow.
I'm driving in a new road now, blasting the volume of Un Monde Nouveau.
I was used to filling myself with mourning, now I just say sometimes people outgrow.
Maybe I'd have felt better if I had opened my wounds and bleed a a little, letting it outflow.
Forgiveness is the hardest truth, something that should be choosed..it, I promise I'll try to follow.
Such a weird feeling to choose yourself, to feel the underway warmness of golden yellow...

Happy or sad,
That's all there is
in a country song --
Can all life experiences
be filtered down to this?

We can get too complex
sometimes, in claiming our condition,
We are masters, yes, of our own destiny
And of course, retribution --

Sacrament of an autumn park:
yellow wafers on green tongue,
blowsy refrains of early dark.
Head spilling and heart sprung,
I step across these broken shields
to a new-faced evening street
under clouds with bruisy weals
that peel, reveal white meat
of moon, sliced thin to eat
& maybe sate a null that gnaws,
a null that was born when I was:
a branch is incomplete
until the last leaf falls,
transfigured into scrawl.

Your love is like a frozen bird, a
feathered stone falling from the sky.
I wish it didn't die.
It should be flying, and soring, and
healing, against the warm blaze of
the afternoon sun--weaving and
diving through the coolness of the clouds.
But it's gone, and all it can do is
plummet and take a few more
birds out, on its way down.

I did a poetry reading and book signing at the Clear Lake Public Library.  Here is a link to the video on my YouTube Channel.  My books are available on Amazon.  They are Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse, and Sleep Always Calls.

Someday,
these words I write I’ll eventually say.
That old guitar I might remember to play.
My dreams will find a way,
when there’s hope for someday.

And next year,
I might find I’ve lost another fear,
but along with loss gained another tear.
The words I write you might never hear.

Why I still get up and try,
I can’t lie, I don’t truly know.
But I will myself to rise,
dry my eyes and give it a go.

Tomorrow
I may create a smile from my sorrow,
while living on the time that I borrow;
goes by so fast but feels so slow.

Why I get up and try,
I can’t lie, I don’t truly know.
Because I have yet to die
make a name for I and will it so.

Someday,
these words I write I’ll eventually say.
Create colours in this world of grey,
do my best to make them stay
if there is still hope for someday.
Just a quickie

Not a beauty queen
No silver screen
No Emny though I want one
Just you and me
Me and You
Never going to be
Feet on the ground
Reaching for stars yet unseen
You know want I meant
You know what I mean
Never going to be more than what I am
Not sure what that will turn out to be
Still a work in progress stlll hard to be believed
No greater love in tbe world than what we share
For some never going to be
Never going to be
