I want to Marry you, maritime vibes, in the Bay Area like during low tide yeah, I want to really seize the moment and feel the energies of the sea’s breeze, therapeutic

they’d love it too if you threw your bridal shoes into our crowd then we can walk around the beach with the sand beneath our feet

dispel any negative energy, lift and thin the veil

to breakthrough the threshold

some incorporeal humans in form
ate what they say
was a plant based diet
and thus were subject
to divergent evolution

amorphous... because
the species had once chosen
not to consume animal proteins
frowning down upon us from the heavens
as if we were subhuman

A universal mind

it is so when he is weakened

that’s the unmaking of the grim reaper
a befitting demise, his

mortality—
a spare rib
the quanta of
an excitable atom
shushed —

Commander of action

I summoned the wind and thunder

The rain rinsed you of your transgressions and filled your heart with lightning.

Unsophisticated and Primal

Tactless and brutal 

A war cry or lustful moan?

Dark energy that has been perverted  by mankind.

Throw your religion in a bag- trash or leather.

That’s not why I’m here

Either way, it won’t save you.

Faith is fear with wings

It soars high as my breath quickens

As eggshells tuck safely into my shins 

As I kneel, seeking recompense 

I make peace with convenient fantasies

Like a film reel, unspooling per my instructions

Till I inevitably slump into my hypocrisy 

I am a heathen without the conviction

A gold rush of beliefs

Cheapened by my constant negotiations

I hated the words "comfortably numb"
I thought what a horrible way to be.
But somewhere in the back of my mind
I knew it could happen to me.
How can you feel comfortable
When part of you is dead?
But life twists and turns
In ways you can't foresee.
How can you go back
To the fullness of life instead
Of being smothered by mediocrity?

Dear God

Forgive me for asking

Where are you when the killing in Gaza continues every day?

Where Israelites killing Palestinians

Living and dying in the name of the same God

Forgive me for asking

Where are you

as the world vicariously watches

when thousands of children are starving to death 

in a world where millions of tons of food are wasted?

Forgive me...

Does the nominal HEAD of the “CHRISTIAN” Church

not have a CONSCIENCE, not wield immense POWER?

Is such a “CHRISTIAN” by reason of “CONVENTION”

absolved from his “CHRISTIAN” duty to OBEY

his CONSCIENCE, to speak out against mass MURDER,

murders enabled by subjects of his REALM?

If such a “CHRISTIAN”, whether by reason of

“CONVENTION” or COWARDICE

should see fit to abdicate...

My life, a flickering candle 

A flame through the dark of night... 

In a stand upon a mantle 

Casting shadows and light. 

Will a glow or glimmer remain 

When this light is no more? 

Or will everything remain the same

As it has always been before?

(note- I've never posted this poem even though I used it as a sample in my Bio section.  It addresses the question whic...

All I can do is follow my heart
The one that you fill.
You made me unique.
So I can follow no one else.
I wait for your still small voice.
But I don't hear anything.

I am blind, but I know it,
So there is hope.
I follow my heart
Where it leads, I go.
Yes, I am blind...
But I can feel the light.

Beautiful to be fallen in a love with you my beloved

A union two twin flames

theirs
one old soul’s
shared nostalgia

about
our actions, how we react
an intertwined mind
quale, in the way we act
an ordeal with life
born into circumstance

chaotic
the conundrum
all of the elements and alignments required
the complexity of an immaculate conception

Am I starting to not care anymore?

Children taken as spoils of war

Still breaks my heart...a little.

Enough to pray...a little.

Storms come and storms go

To make my soul weary,

So my life is no longer light and breezy.

Prayers go up...but they're not easy

To maintain.

So my heart begins to complain.

Then I'm reminded,

That when life's battles are no longer fought

Sometimes I feel like a soul that's forever searching.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find the light.

I get weary.  I grasp for hope.

Sometimes I wonder, am I getting accustomed

To stumbling around in the dark of night?

I know I'll never stop my searching.

Even if it cost me everything that I hold dear.

Just to find out that You are

And have always been... right here.

“Do unto others”, the Savior once said,

a golden rule given to sum it all up.

But we seem to want something complex instead,

like it is too simple or it’s not enough.

But nothing more’s needed and that’s just a fact,

that if we all lived by a new day would dawn

where we’d live in harmony with peace intact,

for so many ills would forever be gone.

But we are too b...

Because in the comfort and misery of bondage

With each new season, I search for it...

My heart is not the same.

It is worn and torn,

But every now and then

I feel it beat...

And I know

That You're still there.
