In our times,
no one wants
to be politically
incorrect.
"Let's not offend."
seems to be the
chant.
Nice little
sheep
that
stay
in line.
Simple smiles, and
polite applause,
but just
a smattering.
Agreement en masse.

Next time you see
this, look for the
return of public
hangings, the blotting
out of the sun, and the
death of art that is
forged from the
marrow of the spirit.

Grace
rain falls, sinks into my skin slowly,
pacing down the path with you on the other line.

we talk for too long, but it flows a little seamlessly,
like a new bend in a stream

and we end on a fine note,
a prelude for the next conversation.

We are not put on this life for pleasure. Everybody has a purpose we just have to find what it is that’s our goal.

Clandestine lovers
Hiding in plain sight days nights
Throughout their lifetime





There are times in life when it’s just not possible to bridge the two worlds together. Always in love from afar
