At your breast he likes to play
     dive-for-the-******.
Like an Olympian on the high platform
     he rears back,
     contemplates the distance,
     the object,
then lunges.

Today he grabs his own hair, pulls.
     And screams.
The more he pulls, the more he screams
     until I unclutch his fingers.

Don’t we all wish sometimes
     a big hand would swoop down
     to unclutch us
     from our mistakes?
Then, oh! to rear back
     and lunge
at life’s big love.

I unclutch
Let go
Of the people, places
And circumstances
In my life

I bless them
To fly
In the horizon of their dreams

I return
To my heart
Silence
Peace
At last

Did my thoughts touch reality today?
Did I question in unadulterated Philosophy to the reality of my being or was I swept in the fear mongering deluge of productiveness. I know What but not Why or Who’s doing it. The trap is set on a materialism that sits on the sheets of the American dream. You either have and want more or can’t get out but still want in. This is a fraudulent joke of false individualized eternity spinning on an axis of evil that feeds delusional happiness to our sinful perspectives. How many thoughts and lives are wasted on the will of willingly submitting to the selfish hoarding of monetary prosperity? “Eye’s but no sight, ears but no sound”  I guess we rather willingly enslave each other than to unclutch an idol. But can I ask a question for the sake of asking a question? Can I ask a question for you to ponder and only answer to yourself without its relevance being associated with the happiness of a 5 year plan?............. Who are you?...........

Now the stories don't mean as much
what did you do?
why did you unclutch
when I'd die to care for you

would you be able to cherish
you know it's not outta blue
perhaps I should perish
to see the sky turn blue

maybe I hate when I can't get you so much
because in your grip is the only time
I feel my fists unclutch

burgundy, white and
burgundy, white and violet
irises have sprung so i can steal them
rupture this temperature increase and fall in
eardrum ripping sleep.
the beauty
has returned and i may weep
for time to reap.
my head just another hole to ****,
my mouth just another eclipsed month
irises in May can only last
long enough that I may not keep
track.
unclutch, disobey and swallow the lack
of life where there is almost too much to live.
give it to the irises, they die quick.

When things seem difficult miserable
While you demand your respect
So you can accept both compliments and criticism
Without feeling guilty about it
As your watching the sun rise above
and value your peace more than people's opinions
Even when you have failed at some things.
So you can continue making more memories
Even when people are hostile toward you
End let people underestimate your next move
While your darkest day begins to disappear
Even when you're walking past your haters and enemies
So that you may begin to live, laugh and love again
Even when your wings have fallen in despair
So you can see that you're more than enough for success
Because it’s your time to blossom like a butterfly
And see what’s waiting for you and your future
So that you can receive unconditional love
To block out all negativity surrounding you
End begin speaking up and loud enough to be heard
To unclutch yourself from any evil spirits


With all that is said stand strong and tall as you can to tell your testimony
When you see that it’s possible to be victorious and successful after the rain and storms
Disappears from your eyesight.
So stand strong and stand as strong and tall as you can
Your strong enough to make it through another day
And don’t prove it to please others, do it for you and you only.

Don’t You Give Up!!!!!!!
You Better Stand!!!
Stand Strong!!

To be Free at last
To feel your soul once again
To explore the world with different eyes
To sing a new song within your heart
To taste the salt and to chase the wind
To grow roots deep into the earth for new beginnings
To cross that bridge that you may find
To navigate through the darkness
To take chances of everlasting love
To discover new things in this world
To stand up after tragedy hits
To be unstuck from your past
To accept both compliments and criticism
To cleanes your mind, body, and soul
To take back whats been stolen from you
To embrace the person that you are
To see what no one else can see
To rebuild what's been broken
To walk by faith and not by sight
To accept the things that you can't change
To find inspiration throughout the day
To walk past your haters and enemies
To live, laugh, and love again
To see that you're more than enough for success
To block out all the negativity that may surround you
To unclutch yourself from any evil spirits  


It’s ok, to break the chains of what was to be a better you.
It’s ok don't think about it just do it
Break the chains!!!
