tattered sails sewn together
patched from previous wrecks

to face cold, unyielding weather
unclear what's coming next

raise the heavy-hearted anchor
as gusts of fear make tailwind

dastardly storms sure to incur
punishment - for I have sinned

...

canvas tears; rocks shred the keel
to me; the seafloor holds greater appeal

🌅
I dream in shadowed memories,
I sing of cosmic love,
And whisper gothic reveries
That haunt the stars above.
I drift on wind’s lamenting tread,
Through veils of distant time,
Where echoes of the long-since dead
Chant elegies in rhyme.
I’ve danced where Saturn’s rings divide,
And walked the comet’s wake,
I’ve watched the moon in silence hide,
And dreamed for dreaming’s sake.

This world is corporatized,
No longer human we see only brands
And at hand is the sanctity of all we ever had
History honored is now history be ******
Voices spent focused on idiocy have become weaponized.
We live in a world where we no longer value humanity. We see ourselves as commodities or business entities, everything, every move, transactional. That's why there is such a huge disconnect and divide among peer groups or ethnicities because we have forgotten what it is like to love one another, to cherish one another, and seek understanding.

Your heart is bigger than the ocean
I like to watch your gait motion
The most important what you've got
Is your cute face and your big ****

I love days like this
late day sunshine, early summer bliss.
The magnolia smells of home,
no matter how displaced
June breeze, calm and playful
your hand on my bare waist.

Sometimes I stare out beyond what I can see
and wonder who else has been.
Ancient southern trees
covered in spanish moss where leaves grow thin.
The night approaches
a lone rider with no name
the cover of darkness imposed
and fashions mystery just the same.

Growing restless in the thickness of heat
solstice tastes like sugar and a hidden moon
something mindless and indistinct.
Burning for as long as an eye can blink,
gentle little light of beetle make the way
know it could lead me somewhere far, far off
but here, I so wish to stay.
