And one day,

the sun stopped,

the rain stopped falling,

the flowers didn't look high,

the sky emptied of stars,

then a tear dripped

from the heart and became our breath.

We need a sacred tear,

before the fall...

To know my fingerprints
on another’s heart
could stir them into art
a priceless gift, a magic

To know there is a poem
written about me
those words, more beautiful
than I could ever hope to be

From the caverns of passed time
there comes a sound
a constant, quiet, ring
when I choose to listen
always there
telling of another way of living

That the heart of an artist
a complexly c...

Hello silence, my old friend.
It's good to see you, 
hear you, feel you
once again.

No flashing phones.
No clashing tones.
No busted seams.
No broken dreams.

Just breathing in gratitude,
marinating the moment,
exhaling ego,  
connecting to the prophet within.

Listening, learning, loving, 
awakened 
by the naked light 
you bring.

Shoo, 
go away.

I only want young, thin, pretty girls 
to look my way.

I don't care if they have anything 
intelligent to say.

I just want them to ooh and awe 
at my game. 

Of course I have no shame,
my past is to blame.

Yes, this dance could drive  
the thinker insane.

So, leave with your dignity,
while I toss back another one, 
and twirl my ring.

Too seriously; I tend in my journey
too easy to focus on the duty
the facts of what’s in hand
the doing of a thing

So precious to see the nonsense
appreciate the humour
the madness
in everything you’re tasked with
by this modern world

So freeing to have a sense of silliness
draw a cock and balls on your mortgage application
scribble a cape and tights across the undertaker’s pamphlet

dimly lit before dusk, i sharpen my wit on my entropy bestowed husk

my volcano glass heart pumps through my black ice veins

headless horseman with, lumps of coal ahead, hanging off of his reins

so many gifts, treats tilting out, self slain while ego remains

the moons silhouette looms in the daylight as the sun rays;pulling me deep into my worst of days.

frozen comets and craters, ...

legs crossed i lay, deep in prayer

as i enter her domicile pyramid prism with a rainbow flash

headspace filled with subsequent intrinsic peace and peachy afterglow, washing out wrath

sifting through the banks of her mind, i produce schisms, and visually metaphysical visions

visualization techniques split at the ream leaving a colorful flurry

scurrying across triangular entropy into ...

Can we pretend
     social media highlights
     are every day life.

Can we pretend
     children aren't starving,
     neglected or abused.

Can we pretend
     Mother Earth will
     pardon our plundering.

Can we pretend 
     animals don’t suffer 
     for our gluttonous pleasure.

Can we pretend
     greed doesn't 
     fuel disease.

Can we pretend
     God is real and

I have loved you for years
but our love has been a rollercoaster ride
a battlefield of our souls fighting
our hearts breaking over and over

We both prefer our solace
it hurts less 
than for us to be together and 
fighting over a love that will remain
                                                              ... a battlefield

It is a gift you have.

you envelop me in your arms

and I feel emotion flood through my body.

Sadness bubbles to the surface and is gone.

Loneliness too.

Its strangling grip loosens,

falls away.

It has no hold over me when you are near.

Instead, you fill me with light and hope

and my heart sings a melody of love and trust.

The weight of life becomes a blessing to treas...

She said, “Jesus wept”
Was her favourite Bible verse,
Because it showed Jesus
Was human and shared
Our human feelings.

I suspected it was her
Favourite because it was
The easiest to remember,
But I guess it isn’t so bad.

It’s better than the ones
That command genocide,
Stoning children, or taking
Virgin girls as spoils of war.

But it isn’t as good as the ones
That say to turn a...

He was electric, vibrant,

always painting his dreams on the clouds,

then tearing them down with the rain. 

She was centered, living in the core of the ground,

Keeping the whole world together,

Staring up at the sky wishing she could fly up some day.

They were always looking for each other,

attracted like magnets, bound to collide,

The whole world expectantly waiti...

Two little boys with curly hair,

one of them brown the other blonde,

they taunt and kick,

they soothe and hug

each other just to tie a bond.

Two little boys of fearless beauty,

of restless bliss and trusting charme,

they laugh and play,

they thrive and dwell

still in their world without real harm.

Two little boys I'd give my life for

too soon will loose t...

Let me taste a bit of love now,

or no, better let me not,

'cause I know I couldn't help

to ask and beg you for a lot.

Let me taste spoonfuls of beauty,

or no, stop me if you can,

'cause I'm afraid to loose my cool

for you're the gracious type of man.

Let me taste ways of your soul then,

or no, never let me do,

'cause I dread the disappointment

of no dark ...

Heart drumming I wake up in the dark. 

Fresh memories of old ghosts that haunted my past,

vanish when I see you.

You make me feel safe. 

Your love chases the ghosts of my past away.

And on that fateful night when I was broken, and I cried even when I couldn't breathe, 

you held me tight, 

you held me tight.

Honey, I am not the kind of girl who wins the lottery,

You gave me pictures of us,

they slowly faded in their frames. 

You gifted me flowers

And time wilted them away.

The youth of our bodies

Was tainted by the touch of years.

But our love my dear,

Our love was golden.

Strengthened by each moment, each second, each year 

we shared and made ours.
