One day we live, love, and die, in a labyrinth of illusions and liesOne day we live, love, and die, in a labyrinth of illusions and lies,
Each waits, without time to choose among the shadows that creep in,
Truth wanders like a lost echo through the crumpled pages of the world,
Despair feeds on deep silences, like a bottomless well.
One day we give new names to old thoughts, like a...

MantennaLately my mantenna are twitching more than usual folks
the prophecies are surely uncloaking
time to batten down the hatches
the second flood is lapping on the doorstep
clutch your loved ones to your chest
Its nearly midnight, the world is on full tilt
nuclear pinballs ricochetting off
bent flippers of black hearted madmen
They will not lead into battle
they'll just push...

Compassion**A Bird in the Hand**
From my childhood, I cherish the sweet memory of holding a sparrow in my hands. Its heart raced wildly, igniting my curiosity. Gazing into its small, beady eyes, I couldn't help but smile as it chirped and whined, pleading for freedom.
Yet, in its desperation, it bit down on my thumb,...

Oh Liza, dear LizaOh Liza, dear Liza. My plane’s going down.
I’m somewhere over the Pacific, but there's nobody around.
Nobody to watch as this hunk of metal falls
No one to weep as these blaring alarms stall.
Dear Liza, my Liza. Now I’m going down.
It’s not valiant or brave like you hear of in town.
There was no gunfire, I’m just...

No Kings Day EverydayNo Kings Day
Everyday
The fear I felt last November
Has
Swollen
Like a Hindenberg blimp directly
Overhead
Seconds from exploding
Time and space back to 1775.
How
Now sent troops’ marching feet
Bear a din, underscoring beat,
Compelling
Alarm
Urgently
To ask, to answer the question:
How might we align
our democracy...

the pasture is her playground
smiles from her fans
farmer does his chores
chop chop chop says his loud axe

father's dayZero.
I imagine you watched,
With awe and wonder
At the image on the screen,
My movements
In black and white,
As the sonographer moved the wand,
Up and down
The belly of my mother,
Showing you
Mystery and excitement,
The next chapter
Of your lives.
One.
You gave me ice cream
When you
Definitely
Were
Not
Supposed
To,
And I think a bond formed.
Mischief by mouthfuls,
We were already unstoppable.
Two, Three, Four.

Another Day - Another Morning Coffee
The black depths
of a coffee beckon the mind
into a bottomless gaze - you stir
and feel yourself swirl
in a dizzying haze and hope
you will slowly dissolve
into nothing at all.
But somehow you manage
to hold, grab the edges,
survive another close call.

Untltled 2So what’s the plot if 6 turns 9
On this old rainy day
What’s looming up behind the line
What you don’t have to say
Its way too obvious for words
And silence fills the air
Only disturbed by chatting birds
There’s always life out there.

Another Night, Another Daythe city lights blur like a memory,
echoes of things we meant to say.
i’m lying here with all my questions,
as time keeps pulling dreams away.
but somewhere in the quiet dark,
i still believe in morning’s spark.
another night, another day,
we lose ourselves, we find a way.
in broken lines and whispered prayers,
in empty streets and silent stares—
love still lingers,...

Some DayMy skin misses the feeling of your touch
Your fingers trailing lines of love
But we aren't as far as we seem
I look up and it's the same sun you see above...
