Say it.
Say it before I do,
Because if I do.
Your worst dreams will come true...
Ha!
Oh please don't mind me,
I'm laughing at your insolence,
You never heed my words,
The are like white noise in the darkness yet you never see them,
They are the white light at the end of the tunnel but you never reach for them,
My words are honest and true,
All I speak is the truth,
So say IT,
"...I want freedom"
"Good. That's it"
This is a poem for everyone to interpret in their own way. I really hope you enjoy it
Anna Mosca May 2016


eternity roams
inside me I can’t
help but travel

forever wondering
the mind and space
on earth as in dreams

seeking some order
chasing the waters
harmony to fill me

deep from the inside
to make me a lake

alas at home

Battle tested, never resting, my heart has the scars to show. Armor cracked, sword has dulled, even in the sun, they no longer shine. Horse long gone, feet raw and swollen, yet always at the ready to go.

King in the making, ready to fight, no need to wear a crown. Taking to the fields, army of one, if must to defend it all. A knight of Heart, love to the end, even when laid to rest in ground.

A Knight in always Shining Armor? or a Knight Who Fights in Battle to the end?

I practice Being Peace
out here by The Artist Colony on Hood Canal
collecting treasures and Bright Dead Things
the moon snail nesting in the Flatland  of my palm
a Gift from the Sea carried ashore
on The Torrents of Spring
it may take A Thousand Mornings
to attain a Mind of Clear Light
to transcend earthly Crime and Punishment
to consume knowledge hidden in the Weathered Pages
of this Book of Luminous Things
but I carry on - Skinny Legs and All
Burning Daylight street preaching
The Teachings of Don Juan
"looking, looking breathlessly"
for internal coherence in this

Silhouette of freedom
cast upon mind canvas
a drop of life in desert script
imprints of foot patterns
flow in circle shapes
through life's vacant scape
seeking something more
past the sandy dunes
mirages of love and light
dissipate with further draught

where is the life to be found?

I'm looking for something, I'm afraid don't exist
I'm looking for something, I hope I've just missed
I'm looking for something, in the foggy mist

It's a forgotten hue, of a color so bright
It's a forgotten feeling, of being so light
It's a forgotten treasure, I should've held tight

It bounced off the rainbow
It bounced and it flowed
It bounced right into the great unknown

I'm still here calling
I'm still here falling
I'm still here bawling

I'm afraid I'll never find it again
I'm afraid I'll never win
I'm afraid I'll never taste it on the wind

I will seek it out, till my dying day
I will seek it out, I'll hunt every which way
I will seek it out, if I find it I'll make it stay

I am writing again,
I am again in touch with alcohol,
I love this, I can see the stars in a sealed room,
A river of words, within lonely soul,
A nightmare at the morning,
a sweet dream at night...
I am a poet, who believe in love,
I believe in a dream, I believe in you...
My scattered heart,
will continue looking for you,
my dear love...
I love you and I seek from you,
a heart that can control this humble soul.
