Little one* do you see them,
Do you see the light,
Can you twist it to the spectrum
Will you choose
Darkness,
Light,
Play as you must,
Will you be a friend
Or twist their limbs to control
As a puppet, as a toy if you must.
They are weakness,
They are flesh,
They are unlike us.
We are of energy, not the weakness
Of flesh, so timid, easily controlled
By the ones of us,
They don't realise that we walk
Upon this plain, there is more
To this rock than
Flesh,
Energy,
Old,
Ones roam unseen by even us,
This is a plain of existence
A field of many flowers that bloom,
Not everyone is seen, their scent, smelt
Upon each breath, we share this
Moment,
Time,
Existence
As the same eternity we do share,
Play in the fields of flesh,
Try these suits on, have a joyous time,
They wear thin fast,
Damaged by our energy
Coherent memory,
Never forgetting that corruption
Of a life time lasted,
We are the moment sensed
Our presents always lingers past.
Little one choose what you wish
But upon the flesh, the soul
Corroded until we are all that is left,
Careful with these toys, they are fragile
They easily break,
Don't let the moment pass, let the senses
Taste many before they forever erode to **dust.

While sleeping


Why is it mornings, so far in the distance,
flowing from beyond tempered shorelines
on lone standing bridges ~
always seem to call in the midst of a dream

When sunrise illusions now erase sleep
on meadowlark borders dotted in dew drops
built in the confines of spring
with fall fast approaching ~ featuring shadows stretched of time

Long on the porch, weathered and beaming,
tapping the front door with marching band fingers
in trumpet blares and bass drum beats ~
yet quiet in the state of mind seen through blurry eyes

Still ~ a before smile, brought about the prior evening
forces dimples once again in my cheeks
igniting the darkness with three-ring spotlights,
streaked of circus beacons on popcorn ceilings

Reminding ~ the dream I have found actually lives in my daylight,
slipping around corners and window sill gaps,
finding me on the brink of now,
stumbling my way to where I long to be ~ awake

For my dream is you,

who I so desperately miss ~ while sleeping

I wish me invisible
I want to disappear
I am but a damsel
Parading in knight's gear

I want to be the unknown
I need to be again a stranger
I wish my secrets not shown
Back to a time when it was clearer

I wish to be a zephyr
I want to be felt not seen
I need to be less of the liar
At least lesser than I have been

I crave the comfort of solitude
I long for the absence of physical contact
I miss the tears that once had ensued
Somehow then I was more intact

I want to be an undetermined star
I need to be unnamed in an uncharted galaxy
I wish to retreat behind my avatar
So you won't see the real me

I wish me invisible
I want to be protected by ambiguity
I need to disappear from this debacle
Into the welcoming arms of anonymity

everyone's talking
about freedom of speech

as if it should come at no cost
like something you teach

it's never been that way
and it never will be

we need to be reminded
of what it means to be free.
