I am the past, present, and future
wrapped all into one
I am your destiny
soon to be your ecstasy.
I am what you are to me...
a heart shaped key
I am the butterfly you see...
waiting for you ...
my wings softly fluttering in your apple tree.
I am the bird in the sky...
I am a pink sunset in Shanghai
I am
with you
past, present, and future
all wrapped into one
and..
we have only just begun.

We're all the same inside
no matter what our color, race, or eyes... may be
we all want freedom, and a place
to claim our dignity with a simple kind of grace
Hale to brave...
Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King...
you showed us how to spread our wings.
To fly above and sing...
"Rise together now"....
revealing to us all
how we can learn to stand up tall.
My sisters, and my brothers...
let's all start
by being kind to one another.

and anyone who finds solace in the company of poets


Adorn us
with you writing,
run from the smug,
the pretentious non-believers
into the arms of poets
who awaiting
your new words
with the hard panting hunger
of true lovers

this is my simplest invitation,
Grace us with you grace,
with subtle signs kiss our heart places,
for poetry,
good and bad
has never turned anyone away

and never will**

accept this write
with permanence of ink on paper,
cannot be erased or taken back
mine, yours, ours,
ink invulnerable to
delete

here here, are the preeminent
awaiting all your attentions,
feed us, you poets,
rivers, railway stations, unfamiliar gods,
Missouri to Malaysia,
the images
we neglected,
too far away for our limited vision,
but that you saved,
as gifts of touching lips,
miners in the crevices of the soul

I thank god for the company of poets and the kindness daily,
they bring to hearts,
all I ask is,
more...

...
I wish
I loved
you
like
I want
me
to

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Singular Proposition:

you think you are special, exceptional,
you think you are unusual, odd,
proud of it.

extraordinary, exceptional, unique.

maybe so.

Here then is my Singular Proposition:

On the day that you unconditionally
accept responsibility
for the care and feeding,
for,
yes, the very
survival*
of just
one single
other

on that day,
you may call yourself,
singular,
in every sense of the word.*

Propositions:
I am a singular.
I am mortal.

Affirmed.

the world will never run out of water
as long as the actors, dancers, painters, writers,
can make fellow humans weep,
as long as there are teaspoons
to catch their tears that face seep,
the world will never run out of water,
but you better learn to like the flavor,
*salty sweet

the mystique of Poe,
the mystique of nuclear science,

don't you see the irony extraordinaire,
the perfect intersection of
human and science?

atoms of a poet.

what, who better to
radiate
the profound complex meaning of
mystique

smile while
commencing the
delving, inhaling,
comprehending,
subsuming the
aura of human cells
odors of the atomizer
flavors mellifluous
chain reacting

the set theory of all my senses,
at the ultimate overlapping
of the primordial intersection
of the nucleus.

I am the living scientific proof,
the written poem,
the
realization of mystique,
the enhanced value
of the human you.
