I shouldn't be left alone with the absurdity of my thoughts
I had this feeling today that I wanted nothing more than to be a flower pressed between your pages
I want you to crush me.....
Until all the air and light around me ceases to exist and there is nothing but you
My world, only you
From violence give us release
No excuse for the shootings
Near Bondi's sandy beach.'
convenience store sign
it says no hoodies allowed
I stay in the car
don’t think they mean you
be crazy if they didn’t
I stay in the car
DARKNESS ALLOWED TO SHINE
It was a solace of night
Darkness fled at pin drop
Days light needed a rest
It allowed darkness to shine

You are not allowed to need or ask because you need.
Everything has been provided for you to survive debate
Also the crisis funds do not apply to you.
Homeless funds are for the crisis which you are not involved in
Job security folks
Paint a wall love me out loud,
tag trains where it’s not allowed;
Do it for zeal as you vowed,
bomb up Heaven make me proud.
Mandrake’s sisters had fuzzy balls
Green fuzzy balls on their roller skates
Red fuzzy balls on their ice skates
Purple and pink fuzzy balls on their backpacks
You cannot have fuzzy balls they told him
You are a boy
It would be silly for a boy to have fuzzy balls
So he grew up and made himself a fuzzy ball chair
He also stuck out his tongue at both sisters
Refusing to allow either of them to put their petootsies on it
How would they know?
I mean, this could be AI.
Could write
Any
Old bollocks.
Does it have
The
Spirit; of my poetry?
Where is my
Soul? Is it
Next to this semi-colon? :
Look at it,
Bit lonely there
But
We all are
My son
Is writing a story on paper across the room
Let he forever
Be his own mind
On paper,
In voice
In spirit
Motorbikes are not allowed
Out here where people stroll.
Smoking’s not permitted, either;
Fresh air is the goal.
Blasting music’s also banned
So peace can be enjoyed,
Which is why, right here and now,
I’m feeling so annoyed.
A motorcycle zipped on past
And stopped one bench away.
Two guys got off and took a seat;
There’s nothing I can say.
Their music’s loud, their reefer stinks;
They’re coughing up a storm.
Behavior such as this is not,
Around here, quite the norm.
Yet lately I’ve been witness to
Obnoxiousness galore
And it appears that lawlessness
Will happen more and more.
What’s not allowed is just a phrase;
It doesn’t mean a thing,
For nowadays it seems to me
Offensiveness is king.
May I touch you as the Father does
May I embrace you ever so
lovingly spiritually flow
As where I be as a clove a drapes coverings
may I breathe unto you kisses sweet lovingly
GOD HAS ALLOWED THIS THAT I MAY-
Do so touch it as my Father does
Is essence soul, heart body remind me pleasant
Breathing Breath of Life encased released from His lips
I am divinely purposed embedded to love you
For God has allowed this
GOD HAS ALLOWED THIS THAT I MAY-

ALLOWED SHINELY BLESSING GLEANING NEW DAY TIME
New are those the days blessed
Good are they
May the peace joy and love
Shine outside your window
And come in to you today from above
May your heart beat full of life and joy
Heaven glories shines on
Promises from our Father God will aluminate
From the Lord onto you all over
May your beautiful heart beat always?
Be just such a shining bright
So a light
Our Father shall allow you another blessing
Our Father His promises
He promises to strengthen you
To give you rest
To take care of all your needs
To answer your prayers
To work everything out
Out for your good to be
Be with you to protect you
Our God promises to help guide us
His faithfulness
Allotted man granting humanity his peace
His joy, His love Always

Candescence
Auburn plains spread before me while the sun dips in curtsy to the moon.
Violet hued reds against pastel periwinkles radiate out in a cloud of color amongst the obscuring fog, becoming spirits.
The weeping willow bows in its lonesome and waits for autumn's death driving gaze.
The warm grasp of steaming apples and the cool whisper of winter's arrival blooms moments so unique and so familiar.
Cinders and ash pierce through cavities barren and hallowed by years of sheltering storms.
Proffered supplies of acceptance present problems for denial.
Piceous
No bad energy
Feel life and let go of your
sorrows and agony
You can only live once
You can never die twice
So forget the past and move ahead
The problems in life never end
So don't die young in your challenges
Instead go through the process of life
And become a man with integrity
Remember what is impossible
Is what you never start
So start now to live and
set yourself free
Each Passing Word
David J Walker
My secret is safe from me
Camouflaged beneath the skin
(not even the eternal flame of the sun
allowed in)
Light beyond the fading clouds
Sounding their warnings
Not allowed ....
not aloud
So I read to myself in silence
And instantly forget
Each passing word
should see starter home
seemed so small but just enough
which they still live in
apartments for poor
all of them had slate sliding
which they still live in
fight for a union
discriminate against them
sad state of affairs
feel deeply about
God who we all believe in
will show us the way
we were with a crowd
encountered being endowed
which we had allowed
This kind of is an example
of our state of affairs for
those who cares while
tempting and dares.
