Honey,

you will
never make me
jealous
with that
stooge

I mean really

Hahaha

A runover he is...
with truck
deliberately
in reverse

Spare yourself
the
humiliation

On my death bed,
he could only
half me
If I were to be cut ?

Poetic words would my blood spill/spell out.
I can tell by the look in your eyes
that you've been hurtin

You know I'll never let you down oh, no

And I'll try anything to keep it workin

You gave me time to find out
what my heart was lookin for

And what I'm feelin inside... ..

In your eyes

I want to see your love again,
in your eyes

I never want this feeling to end

It took some time to find the light

But now I realize... ..

I can see the heaven in your eyes
You ain't got a dress that I don't like

You ain't got a pair of jeans that don't fit you just right

There's not a minute in the day

That you don't knock me out, you don't ******* away

But, girl, now that the sun's gone down
(whoa-oh-oh)

Looking at you right here and now, baby!


Somethin' about that southern sky
Sitting back behind that moon
It goes perfect with your eyes
Girl, tonight looks good on you
It's something about the way you're smiling
Making the stars fall right on queue
I just gotta tell you, baby
Tonight looks good on you... ..


I can taste the midnight on your lips

Makes me just wanna lean in for another kiss

Wind blowing your hair around

Girl, it makes me want to lay you down

You've been beautiful a million times

But I've never seen you look like this, no
We
are all
imperfect.
We
all need
a Savior.
Mine is
my Lord
and Savior
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ,
God with
skin.
I
want to
to see
your love
inside


your eyes.

This life ... the flock which inhabits its alleged happiness ...

happiness which leans heavy upon ****** satisfaction....

or hopes that fantasies of the flesh discover thee....

I implore all...

look beyond....

look beyond the lust ...

putrid lust and betrayal....

Look to what's pure ....

a newborn ...its breach..

Yearn for what's whole...

not tattered and used ....

Your life was not given ....

to wander.....confused.

Fairy tale stories are what most look for.....

when what's right in front ............is IT....... and much more!
when time
stands still
it will be,

too late.
Morning stars together sing
as jays of blue
take flight on wing.
The breeze is limp
as oaks stand still.
The greying sky with rain now fills.
A rainbow falls
upon the ground.
A colorful thud without a sound.
As nightfall crawls across the moon.
I stir my coffee
with spoon in June.
when I

look at you

... ..

fantasize,

the sweat
pours out,

from each
and every
pore
Above all else, guard your heart

for everything you do flows from it.

Be mindful
that;

your heart is never
a willing prisoner.
Through the trees;

the wind whispers many names.

Funny thing..... ..

I've never once;

heard your name.

Even through a throated bird's morning serenade;

I have yet,
to hear your name.

Whisper it... ..

to me.
Everyone,
everyone has an arsenal of words.

Words aren't impressive,

what impresses me are the totality of the words,

not their redundancy
and the same old ******
My love, I adore when your jeweled eyes
captivate every fiber of my being

When your perfect lips whisper words that only I can hear from miles away

When your slightest touch brings me to volcanic eruptions with lava overflowing

My love, you are a steady stream of sweaty summer nights that I hoped would never end

You are ...my love

You are my sunrise
You are my sunset

You are the sparkle that lives inside my eyes
Do not
conform
to the
pattern
of the
world

Anchor
yourself
to
your
own
wave

Or drown
with
the
sharks

I'm just a poet of circumstance.

I'm simply a poet of happenstance.

Years of sharing myself with only me.

Years of just wanting to at long last be free.

I may not be the poet that you asked for.

But I may be the poet that you now need at everyday's door.
before heading
out on a journey
of revenge,
be mindful
to dig
two graves
before you
leave
It was dark

But,
she didn't ask me
to plug the light in

Rather,
she asked me to
plug myself into her

We lit that room
up with fire
Itinerary.....


In my sights?

An exhale of luminescent moonlight tonight.

Hope that y'all let it scratch ya in places ohhh so right.

Dream a little dream with her under a Galaxy of delight.
buh bye july.

  while summer lovers
watched you leave
      and cried.

i was enjoying
   july 31st and,

       watching you die.
I've
never been

you've

He was

He was

like a bomb

And they

which was scarier-

his

or
his calm?
trying to tie my shoes,
clumsily,
not able to work out the logic of it, fumbling,
as my father stands there

his anger growing over a son who can’t even do
this simplest thing for the first time

can’t even manage
the knot to keep his shoes on

you think someone’s
going to tie your shoes for you the rest of your life?

no, i answer, forty-five years later, tying my shoe,
hands trembling with this memory

my father and all those years of childhood
not being able to work out how he loved me....
a knot so tight it has taken all my life
to untie
The terrible,
tragic fallacy of the last hundred years has been
to think that all man's troubles are due to his environment, and that to change the man you have nothing to do but change his environment.

That is a tragic fallacy.
It overlooks the fact that it was in Paradise that man fell.
Social media
has directly
led to
infidelity
being more
readily
accessible.

It's an
infestation
plague
scourge
recrudescence ,
it's an
epidemic.

The disease
is
worldwide.
This day,
This day will perish too

But hopefully,
hopefully today
you grew

Water me,

I'm a seed

writing is lonely[...]

but most of the time you are in a room by yourself, you know

writers spend more time in rooms, staying awake in quiet rooms, than they do hunting lions in africa

so, it's a bad life for a person because it's so lonely and because it consists of such highs and lows, and there's not always anywhere to take these emotional states [...]

it's a life that's tough to sustain without falling prey to some kind of beguiling diversion that's not good for you

contrary to a generally held view, poetry is a very powerful tool because ....poetry is the conscience of a society [...]

no individual poem can stop a war — that's what diplomacy is supposed to do

but poetry is an independent ambassador for conscience:

it answers to no one, it crosses borders without a passport, and it speaks the truth

that's why ... it is one of the most beautiful and powerful of the arts
you only think that you know me!

So;

phew... ..

after skatey eight
rounds of chemo
and radiation that
has burned me worse than any encounter with the sun ever could.....?

Thousands of dollars wasted
and debt
while making my
remaining days
on this Earth
an excruciating
24/7 theatre of
unnecessary,
expensive pain!

And after all of this?

I have "Dr." Chen with absolutely no bedside manner
'matter of factly'
tell me that... ..
"we can not do anymore to help you".

Okay;
I get it, I am dying and I can handle that,
and I knew that but... ..

Help me?!?!?!

You didn't "help me" you... ..
you
greedy,
selfish,
ignorant,
POS
devil you.

But hey;
guess what?

Sure, I will concede my death
is near.

Thanks to you and your high priced concoction of death,
my death has
only been
accelerated.

But me?

My life,
my life is only beginning once
I leave this den of iniquity and
you... ..
"Dr satan".

While you?

Ha.
Haha!

You?

You will be burning in a hell like you have never seen on this Earth.

Every day....
Every hour
Every minute
Every second
of your
'after life'.

And me?

I will be chatting it up with Jesus
and asking for your forgiveness
because well... ..

that's my
beautiful soul
and heart
looking out
for vultures
like you.
If you're going to like anything from me?
I hope that you enjoy this truth.
We
We
In God we trust.
In Jesus we live.
In life, we are but a mere smudge
on the lens of eternity.
Eternal life has such a poetic tone to it.
Brown and dried up Autumn leaves

Slowly fracture into pieces

Carried away by the winds of today -

into another day's tomorrow.

Up against the decrepit curb

Perilously close to the gutter.

Winds have calmed to just a breeze

With winter snow's they wait to freeze.
satan is running amok
these days

he captivates the weak
in deceitful ways

torment and torture reflect
the saddened
skies of grey

pray for light as powerful
as the sun's rays

to shine upon the darkness
and heed what Jesus
has to say

the landscape slithers with
snakes that once had
called you friend

fall to bended knee and pray
for their soul to surpass
the ebon dead end

as a child of God we must,
good or bad
we must defend

pray that all lost souls
eventually......
will find their way
once again

judge thee not the one
that cast aspersions
behind thy back

they know not what they do
'cause the shadows is
from where they attack

their blackened eyes
their blackened heart
it's Jesus that they lack

love them anyway
and know .....
you've remained upon
God's forgiving track

we are not thee judge
we are not thee jury

we are not thee lamb
we are not His fury.
Poets are never ending romantacists on a moonstruck Caribbean beach with ambiantic waves kissing a star soaked horizon

Poets are flames that flicker from a lover's breath and that whispers their name under candlelight sight and forever's caress

Poets are also earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados because we yearn for great storms in life to write

Poets are the artists that create pictures with words that trace your lips and tense your body with climactic fantasies

We poets are song writers in 5 minutes notice, greeting card and love letter writers

We poets are what many crave to be or yearn to be with.

Because, once you're with a poet you aren't ever going back!
Late fall when leaves have left their summer homes just to lay helpless on the cold wet earth.

Some lay together in bunches in corners, while others have a space all of their own.

Some drift along a rippled water's surface being pushed far away by autumn's northeasterly winds.

Their magnificent colors are all but ignored now.

The swooshing- rattling-crackling sounds as a gentle breeze blew through their once summer home is now a distant memory.

A memory not for the leaf you understand, but for the viewer that has valued the leaf's existence.

Appreciated its every movement and sound,
sang its praise for shade against the harsh summer sun.

Even its very last movement, falling to the earth helplessly, gracefully,
only now to be walked upon by those that never noticed them in the first place.

These leaves, they share no animosity nor disappointment in those that never look upon them.

They only feel sorry for them.

But, next season after the cold winter's night has passed,
the leaves will be back once again in their full vibrant glory, living on their summer homes,
providing camouflage for a bird's nest buried deep inside,
providing shade and shelter even to those that choose to ignore all of which they are.

Only to "Fall" and "leave" us once more,
just to do it all over again and to hopefully acquire a new fan or two.
Why,
they listen
to a group
called
Secret Garden
of course.

I look around me and it looks like the world is melting.
Stars are breaking away from the sky and falling.
The clouds are grey and cry never ending tears, or so it seems.
The moon is rarely even whole, just a fraction of itself.
The sun even runs away from me after a little while.
The angry river's horizon swallow the day and bring yet more darkness.
Boats disappear upon those waters with nary a beacon heard.
Trees are ravaged by hurricane'd winds as they weep and wilt.
Roses and their bouquet are trampled and their thorns are all that's left behind.
Strangers walking under the street lights are just that, 'stranger' to me everyday.
What is this place?
What is this tortured existence?
I want to run away from it but I can't because,
this place is everywhere.
It's even in my dreams, my nightmares.
He never meant for the ground under my feet to always feel like it was opening up.
Or for me to keep pushing myself further and further away from a love for life.
My bed is my best friend.
My head is the only thing that exists that knows all of my secrets and feelings.
I keep a tiny light on in my bedroom so not to always be in 100% darkness.
What is this place?
I muse.
Even my muses feel my anxiety and pain.
What is this place?
Hope is my super blood moon smile and...
Smiles are hard to find on this face.
Wake up early, before the lights come on
in the houses on a street that was once
a farmer’s field at the edge of a marsh.

Wander from room to room, hoping to find
words that could be enough to keep the soul
alive, words that might be useful or kind

in a world that is more wasteful and cruel
every day. Remind us that we are
like grass that fades, fleeting clouds in the sky,

and then give us just one of those moments
when we were paying attention, when we gave
up everything to see the world in

a grain of sand or to behold
a rainbow in the sky, the heart
leaping up.

society and
most people
  in general
    disappoint me.

it's not their fault,
    well,
      mostly not.

the way some
   treat animals,
      other humans,
and
        just how they
disrespect life....
    other than their own
      of course.

i don't ****
   ants...
     spiders...
flies...
   i don't hurt anything
and i...
   i have a difficult time
in understanding those
     that can.

as i said.
   it's not your fault,
well, mostly not.

  i just expect more
     from humans that
on the outside at least,
      appear to be like me.

but i guess
   that's why our insides
are....
       our insides.
they are like
  a secret.

    for some....
a very ugly secret.
Don't
hide,

don't
run
away

because;

God's
not
done
with
you.

Keep
it
together

because;

He
will
get
you
through.

Cancer
can
knock
down
my
door

but;
with
Him
my
home
is
fresh
and
new.

His
light
is
my
favorite
hue,

and
His
promise
my
glue.

The wind blows through the trees and whispers their song.
The whisper of a doves wings, preparing to take flight.
The waves that roll and whisper with laughter crashing upon a sandy paradise.
The gentle whisper of a sunset as the moon and stars take center stage.
Your whisper wraps around us all, a genuine warm embrace.
Your heartbeat whispers, just loud enough for all to acknowledge its love.
That is my favorite whisper of all.




written by me... ..
As the grey,
envelops the sky.

I reminisce of rain
and the sadness of why.

Why life couldn't be as endless as the sky.

Why life, like grey skies seem to just whistle on by.
I've got a million of them folks
Glass top waters are rare and fleeting.

The world today craves drama and disagreeing.

It's tough to find the elusive desert rose.

As anger and hate now sits where it use to grow.

Lawns once fertilized with love and a watery barrage.

Now just blistering sand with mirage after mirage.

Packing heat as well in the form of cold steel.

Civil wars brink has arrived with bloodshed and bullets as the meal.

End of times/days certainly draws near.

Glass top waters more than ever, so rare.
I have so much more that I want to say,
to you.

Can I mute the world and share my words with a rose that is,
my favorite hue?

Your color,
it mimics an Aruban sky's
fantastic blue.

Allow me to speak and melt into one, and no longer two.
