I saw them
working as
old schlepps
like you or me
postering as
flawed and human
but I know
they walk perfect
upon the earth  
ordained in shrouds
of shimmer
upon them
and when you are
not looking
they sing of
liberation
between
the moments
while blessing your
face with God

the sad thing,
is that you would
love to hear the story
i have crafted.
honest to god.

you would adore the idea,
you really would.

and yet,
it will remain in this
strange realm
of fabulous ideas
known only to me.

and ****, what a world
i have crafted,
if only you could see.

Cameras šŸ“· make
us vain
make us flat
2D imitations
of ourselves
Not too deep
one liners
hogging the awkward stage
finding the right
angle to show and tell
glutton for your eyes
we binge on selfies
like eating a never
ending cake
we post like
we are not in hell
stuffing
our faces but
still
hungry

they will bring out
the bad in everything
corporate men in power
they must apply the pain
and suffering
it isĀ Ā no good for you or me
But it will be women
who conquer with love
armed with kindness
creating new breeds
of humans that will
bring in
strength with compassionĀ 
Ā for harsh words
will trigger
a loaded gun
the spirit of man shall
renew itself
act by soulful act
to bring deep healing
and integrity
throughout the world

On cold evenings
Like this
the moon is
a black pearl
teasing me
to divine under
her that I will know
her ancient secrets

I am awake love
watching you
dream between
the soft moments
you are deity
to me
my naked shrine of glory
I have sent you
a dozen kisses on
your way to
the moon
so dream sweet
my love
until I return to
greet you in
the dearest
slumber...

These days are dark days
filled with the empty
promise of light
somewhere the Sun
is unemcumbered
and it is clear as crystal sheets
but over here the Sun
dodges in and out
of the clouds even
the sky worries
will these slick movements
rest or will they
get the best of us
