I yearn for the day that I may relish this glorious triumph with someone I truly love

Standing on pedestals that we would put each other on with our own romantic lusting

Flawless in the eyes of one another

I will share the world with you

In the eternity that we create

Cat
Can I sit with you?
  
Small Cat...
  
I can see your eyes watching me from the dark
  
Cat...
  
They look green from here
  
Cat...
  
Are you hunting in the dark now?
  
Cat...?
  
If you were would you let me come?

He catches an upward blast and is cascaded toward the heavens  

A plume of feathers both grey and blue  

Soaring high above, riding the draft  

Elegant and careless like the Valkyrie's flight  

Sailing onward to certain victory!  

The drums roll and the trumpets shout  

Beating to the crest of the aerial knight

Streamlined magnificence fit for a king

A slave to no one -- A peasant to all  

The overpass pigeon takes flight

Delicate tang spritzes the air with a sunshine kiss

Peeling so gently it's lady-like tenderness is an elegant tea party with white gloved fingers and daisies on the mantle

Her majesty will be pleased!

A romantic encounter of citrus delight and sun-bathed security in ever loving om and happiness

A candidate as sweet could never be asked for such a casual Sunday outing and for you my dear we are but a shared slice of raspberry accented pie

So powerful but yet so softly subdued...

Like piano ballads or string quartets it is here simply for our glorious consumption

An ode to you my Sunday sweet orange!

May my taste buds always dazzle upon your  arrival
This poem is the embodiment of how I feel while eating an orange on a sunny Sunday afternoon

Upon this parchment I scribe a vow...

To never turn away even if it burns my eyes to look...

To go on with-out fear of failure and to cast all doubts aside...

A vow to be ignorant of this plague of ignorance!

I solemnly swear that I will spit in the face of prejudice indignity and deface the figure-heads of unimaginative creationism

...And I will not back down nor shall I be deterred from that which is inspired!

I shall embrace freedom to it's fullest extent and will die upon compromise of that which I have deemed sacred.

This much I swear!!

Until death strips me of my right!

I vow to be free.

As I approached this new anomaly I couldn't help but notice how seamlessly it was dancing...

Flowing through the street like a land-based whirlpool with the elegance of a veteran ballerina

It's distressed white plastic tutu left drifting freely, spinning into a pirouette in spite of it's singular audience

A defiant **** between sidewalk blocks--It's simple presence, a larger then life statement

As if to say "Go on, try to stop my freedom! I'll just pirouette away!"
A short scribe from one of my travels. Enjoy.

I am.

Rising up -- Moving

This experience is Propelling me

Freeing me

I become weightless in it's magnificence

I am.

Accepting and Revealing

I become the knowledge that I have striven to feel

Reassurance cleanses my being

This certainty my own oblivion

Capturing this nurturing essence, I feel a love that only my mother could of known...

Inside me.

I am.

Pure and at home

Awake but somehow dreaming

Lost within a state of whole functionality

And never before now have I been so alone.

I am.

Free -- In this moment.
You know that feeling? When you wake up and before the thoughts of how your day will begin can creep into your mind there is just this infinite silence of clarity?

— The End —
