When I was young, I fell in love with a little bit of despair.
I thought we'd be happy together till he wrecked me beyond repair.
I fell off that bold chair of success, swooped from the sky.
I had it all and now it's gone to pieces I have no clue why.
Alas there's a sea of "whys" in thirst of reasons and "fors"
And my beloved despair breaches into my heartcore
Like a sword deep dipped into the chest of a battlefield
He goes through my youth and whatever I have yet to build.
A consistant theme in daily life is despair. not intending to concentrate too much on it, though. Just a note of identification.

the sun is exfoliating
my skin for you.

just give me a minute,
my love.

i am shedding the dry
past away.

the way
your life
blossoms
depends not
in the way
that you water it

but in the way
that you replant it
over and over in
different mindsets.

in different soils
and environments.

seeing what suits
your characteristics.

seeing how much
the sun touches your leaf.

and how you release
oxygen back to the world.

i overthink.
i over love.
i over feel.

i am the sea
or i am nothing.
In reading past philosopher's, a concerto conversation
in historic fashion and expressed in poetry. A soul
trembling, mystic produced, words to murmur all through
a moon-lit, silver night and see the sun rise again.
Descent from the mundane, where void is birthed,
watch life expressed in mystical beauty.

there is something
about the way he smiled
that makes my heart flutter
and break
into a million tiny pieces
all at the same time

The wisdom and legacy of certain people who have gone before
is appreciated by the literature or institution we know them for.

From "Simple Observations" ongoing writings since the early '90's
A bale
of water
only will
sleep for
the way
it does
dream mutually
in these
surroundings nigh
and dance
to tort
and by
chant they'll
succumb to
our trade  
in Cape
Verdean Blues.

If there's hell to pay,
Then surely heaven awaits,
But how do I get there,
who's gonna show me the way?
Am I on track or way off at this rate;

I'm hellbent on getting to heaven,
Hoping it'll be my final destination,
For I fear what's waiting in the fiery den,
Yet I'm still having trouble in terms of devotion,
But that's just me being human;

So what's the difference,
Haven,
Heaven,
Paradise,
For each represents,
a person,
a feeling,
and destiny for those devoted in faithfulness,
As hell is the prize for my defiance.

I am hopeful.
The flowers are calling my name.

I am not yet ready.
To be destroyed by my own flame.
