The Itch Explained

I feel an itch

On my back

What is this

On my back

Nothing

Nothing is there 

Just the itch

I thought it was a hair 

What’s this pain

In my face

And my glands

They are blowing up 

All over the place 

Now a spot on my head

It’s red 

It burns

Wait

What’s this mess

On my face

Something isn’t right

It’s keeping me up at night 

It’s Shingles ...

Lifted

When the road gets bumpy

Hold your head high

It’s ok to cry

But never forget why

You’re choosing this path

It will make you stay strong

And the smooth road ahead is long

Though stability brings comfort

Positive change brings peace

You have to let go

And negativity will cease

It’s never easy to love and let go

But it is much harder to carry the burden of not reap...

The Movement

Not all movement 

Comes from simply 

Blowing in the breeze 

Take action

Make movement 

Assume not

Until you ask

We all are on 

Common ground

I will meet you

In the air

Squeaky Peekers

Redeem the natural

See the reason for peeking into endless realness

Onto the big rusty red wagon with traction wheels

Fix on down the road

A mighty fine truck

Going so fast

Taking it in slow

Process

Apply 

Consume

Accentuate

Timely matters falling into spot

Coming to cast

Winding and unwinding sporadically

Sunrise Sunset

So windy, all of the time

Swirls around every thought

Twirling in my mind

My thoughts of you are so kind

Never confined to motionless

Flow

As you blow on my windows

Rattling the screens

You make the traffic louder

From far away where it can’t be seen

Then you pause

Rustling around the leaves

Your presence lurks through the trees

With this breeze

Circulatin...

Small Talk

I’ll talk to you on the train

On a plane

In the snow

Or the rain

I’ll talk to you because 

I’ve got nothing to lose

Nothing to hide

Or exclude

But lets not be rude

Try no to spit on me 

When you tell me

How your car broke down

Or don’t frown 

When I eye you down

Tell me something new

About you

The world 

Your brother

Another state

But I decl...

Waiting Around

Just waitin’ around for that call for that smile

Just waitin’ around to wait around for awhile

Always waiting always expecting 

Always on the verge of disrespecting

Disrespect because its nature 

To want

And to get what you expect

Forces of nature force nature to feel discontent

Why?

Perhaps its part of the human myth

Ask and I will answer

Give and you shall get

Beating Seeds

It’s eating

Beating

It’s seeding inside

Its dreaming

Hoping

Its pushing inside

Its what we are believing

And directing our minds

Its everywhere around us

That keeps us alive

Its stemming 

Growing

Its maturing inside

Its accepted

Rejected

Hiding inside

Its finding 

Found

Its living inside

Its growing

Everywhere around

Into the outside

The Colors of Black and White

It makes not difference to me whether you are black white or green

It makes no difference to me whether or not you want to be heard, smelt or seen

It makes to difference what you choose to wear

Do you think I give a f*** about your hair

So what is the care

Between the perception of yours and the eyes that stare

What is the care

Revolving through this air

Shy away through ti...

BreeZZy

I’ll pick up the ashes

You get the smoke

Climbing up branches 

Made of soap

While muddy streets

Fill with fish

The king of might

Diminished lady delight

Wishing with will

All remains still

As the wild wind blows

Window shutter thrashes

Scattering around the ashes

The wild wind smokes

Burning up the branches

That were made of soap

Combining stances

Arrogance

Hanging out with you is like wearing a pair of boiling piggy toes. Hot and chawed, concave bubbles of saw dust and sand. Blown away, cancelled and clad.

 

Take me away with nothing and everything at all. Here is the way to the blade of grass that I would like to plump my behind upon.

 

Cushion my fall you are doing nothing at all. I see that from my helicopter, you are a tiny car, brok...

Wanderer’s

Meandering around wanderers paths

Turn about one half degrees

(Whispers) only in the breeze

Can feel you walking alongside the circuitry 

Striking reflective attitude of self and self inquiries

Now we continue to stand

Side by side

Walking on the moss

Pulsating cool, damp, comfortably gravitated on the ground

As in Itself

Breathe it in or just let it out

Blend mind work with instances of familiarity on the subject matter

Matter the mind for the sake of continuous combustion craziness

It all goes down 

After the sun

Before the moon

Sometime before noon

Halt with a thought

Keep it flowing
Down the river path of water covered in rocks

Throw in the air, thorns of illusion

Illusion to envi...

Thank You Ma’am

You torched my beam

Scorched me

Unseen

Brighter than any human eye can fathom

I was running parallel with you 

You stopped across my tracks

Took me blind

And said ‘thank you ma'am for being so kind’

As you packed up your door

Heading down your tracks

You may sit back

Relax

This blinded headlight

Was travelin’ in the wrong car

It was travelin’ so long, so t...
