what can you believe
your eyes watching tv shows
studios produce

news room schils
just shells
full of ****

truth extinction
did it ever really exist
ask chatgtp

I melted into rivers then streams
From my frozen northland home
warming in your soft southern light

I will always be
there even when I am gone
to my father's home

red or blue
see, you get to choose
between fools

are fears real?
or just what you want
to believe

she buckled my knees
glancing my way eyes clear blue
my beating heart skipped
after my feet a'flutter
her gravity pulling me

devolution
reversing direction
to freedom

cloudy eyed old man
half deaf but barks to whispers
still knows it's treat time

in slow boils
you're oblivious
then you're not

frozen tide
white monoliths rise
hunting ground

our embrace tightens
between climactic moments
ending in silence
sliding in lucid deep pools
from raging rapids above

so what happens when
law abiding citizens
stop behaving so

racing to morning
daylight chasing forever
another day seen

before evil good
struggles our ancients foretold
very few listened

true love lives
among the heavens
forever

shrouded eyes open
truths light blinds their ignorance
darkness no longer

love your broken heart
time mends leaving tiny scars
victory’s war wounds

glorious reveal
darkness hides when freedom reigns
stars and stripes showing

bittersweet loving
left aching my heart decayed
still craving your love

early light shines brightly
glowing long into midday
when all things bloom forth

darkness comes quickly
chasing light from deep within
turning gold dull brown

from that darkened place
single glimmer sparks lost hope
when a new day starts

dormant willow bloom
nestled in winter cover
aching to burst forth

even little lights
no matter how lowly lit
shine hope in darkness

seemingly hurried
his too soon arrival came
panicked flocks flood past

she holds our secret
among her black white feathers
strength in unity

piece of peace
no one ever bought
war profits

candle chandeliers
burn around slow moving clocks
winters long darkness

tinsel shining stars
twinkle her paisley green eyes
enchanting my thoughts

masters scream faster
computers gladly oblige
to human demise

blackjack
give that card back
short stack

we've given
they just kept takin'
the wells dry

Day dreams
those lovely interludes amongst the chaos
providing hope that it's all worth it to us

my back the fire warms
searing when our longing ends
embers glowing late

thank you for giving
in forgotten places love
such as needed most

reflects silver night
seamlessly flowing rivers
mercurial dreams

my heart felt compass
guiding always toward home
warm in bed with you

thoughtlessly living
nothing really worth grasping
blissful ignorance

freeing river flows
as northern days gain the night
breakup has arrived

free flowing water
undeterred by falling rocks
live as water flows
