athene
i was just a boy
when your hands
chopped me up
and left rivers
of Ancient blood
create a
confluence down my neck
my groin was the freshet
my father told you
and i were meant
to be together since
you always had surgical hands
with the precision
of a knife thrower
each knife cut away my mold
and i shed into a new
identity
when will they end
they're killing our men
the wars in the east
have gone on way too long

they just keep sending our boys
treating them like plastic toys
while they sit back and profit
that's wrong

the dead and the dying
the maimed none of them lying
they're just numbers
in the countries archives

what's the hell's wrong with our leaders
it seems they've become bottom feeders
feeding their glutinous appetites
while the have-nots pay with their lives
Our relationship with the Earth
Can be defined by two choices
Parasitic or Symbiotic
We choose to be fleas
*Why not choose to be Pilot fish?
We can all live together harmoniously
Yet our first thought seems to always be immediate gratification
What can I get now?
Instead of what can I give now?
Blowing candles
Twenty and nine
The supposed last joyous year of youth
I still feel 12

Many sorrows
Many great blessings
Ribbon together in bright May pole colors
This beautiful weaving of my life
I wear it close, this art work
For even the tiniest of words
Have effected it's pattern

*Our age should mean no more than acquired wisdom
Like fine wine we sip on memories
I am no different
A toast to you Birthday Girl
Make a wish for me
Not ageless. Just forever young at heart:)
Let your lips
graze my skin,
leaving no
exposed patch
untouched.
Pepper my
broken pieces
with your perfect
bandaids and
mend the scars
I swear would
never leave.
I am utterly
convinced
you are the
antidote I
thought
I'd never
find.
-JRM
You are my dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again

You are my unicorn
You are my buried treasure
You are the thing
Everyone says that
Does not exist
I feel you in my veins
I feel your tender bliss
I know your magic kiss
Never solicitous
Even when they say
You don't exist

We are stars
Communicating with each other
You are my sister
You are my brother
My Sacred father
Our Divine Mother
When I am asked
How do you know
Prove your higher power lives
I wonder how, I wonder if
People truly know what
Love is

I have never had to prove
The love that I feel
The way that your light
Can heal
Your touch
The chills that rush
Around my everything
My temple heart
My body's Internet

As I connect with
Lightworkers here on earth
We reach out to understand our birth
Together we experience
Your unforgettable worth
For without this light
I could not fight
My warrior heart would
Fall apart
And
Die

You are my strength from within

That is why
You are my dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again
And
Again

I don't have to win
I could never lose
I want to share your love
But we all have to choose
To see it on our own
To feel it in our blood
To make in you
A home

My Phoenix rising

When I think of what you created
The connections that we have
The starlight between us
The way that you guide us
The way that you lead us
I know we are only as far
Away from one another
As the next star

I sat on the beach
Trying to reach you
Earnest in my heart
Was my prayer
To feel you there
To stare
I looked to the heavens
My eyes married the sky
I watched as electricity
Vibrated and waved
Between each starlight
Stars, your creation
Just as we are
Your worldwide
Love destination
The stars shine together well
Let this be our magic
Let this be our spell

When we look into the night
Let this be a mirror for living
A way for us to understand
That we too can be giving
To each other
Shining light all around
One another
My neighbor
My sister
My landlord
My brother
Animals
Our Fathers
And our
Mothers

You make me proud
To be a star for you
With you
I am also a tree
I'm a bird
We are free
I am the song in your hands
Your favorite love letter
Your favorite note
Every word that you spoke
I am written on
The universe in your
Temple heart
And you are
By far
My earth
My wind
My water
You are
My fire
You are

My eternal breath of life

My dragon
You are my imaginary friend
You are my love-light
You are my heart beats end
You are the window to my soul
When my smile wants to
Descend
You lift me up
You shower light
From above me and below
Your dragon fire of love
Ignites my soul
Again
And
Again
And
Again

I believe


tHE tERRY tREE
Alone in a world full of lots of people
How can you be alone when there are so many people?
Walking and wandering
Hoping and wishing
The world passes me by without even flinching
Smile and laughter from every which way
But here in my room
I have nothing to say
I sit alone, I eat alone, I cry and laugh all by myself
I am my only friend
My only friend is myself
Sometimes the world passes you by, without ever noticing you are there.
