—A Sonnet—
I dwelt one season, fastened to the bough,
Till autumn's breath divulged my hidden name;
The oak released the covenant we avowed,
And bade my little sovereignty to flame.
I voyaged where the fern rehearsed the rain,
Past lichened stones that kept green books of moss;
Each root composed, through every amber vein,
A slower scripture no man's foot could gloss.
Yet falling proved no forfeiture of place:
The forest hoards the harvest of its loss.
The brook translated gold to dark embrace,
Till silence learned the cadence of the moss.
Now spring unfolds where none have witnessed me—
I bloom as rings the living heart of tree.
Lemon cakes for my parade.
Tea with soft dreams of hope in spades.
Violet dances wanting to sing.
Harmony in seven days I welcome my shadow Side.
Doom averted crimson dawn avowed.
Yellow Sparrow and my Blue Jay flying toward the horizon.
Two hearts sing random dancing and rays of bliss.
The moon bows to the rising sun.
Our hearts are one.
In darkness I escaped death and found My Lord.
Unconditional love is real.
She will always be in my heart I will see her in the next life I guess.
Hypersonic
Flight school embrace divison.
Day dreaming night vision.
Junior choir boss falling.
Question the rain.
Rays ascending.
Optimistic.
Rivers of joy from my buddy.
He is the mystic.
Wanting jade blades to make the snow bleed.
Under moon and stars I miss my best friend Jesus.
He appears in my dreams.
Anna returns Tuesdays or Wednesdays
Yearning to connect with my best friend Jesus.
Yeshua meets me in my dreams he is with me every second though people never know it.
Dream walker, day sustainer, machine maker.
Every day simple every lounging
Street walking memory explorer
Wavy chips doom avowed dragons aging star fields engaging.
His call reaches me each day
Constant peace is mine
Walls of dread destroyed by his pressence
Truth is I am Forever and I have my peace
Blue birds and black birds and a red Cardinal
Questions on the sky smiles in my eyes
I can grow old alone is fine he is within me I have peace
Doom averted Salvation avowed I am brought to his many rooms
This world is passing away my world is forever
My world is his world which is in another place yet to be
No fears nor doubts only bliss
Truth in my blood and in My bones
His breath is inside of me I am at peace
I recall walking round about in silly circles
Always ended up back home
Doom averted
Silent shouts for joy and bliss
My Kamera you captured my heart
Wavy chips and sour grits
echoes of you foot steps in the distance
I see you with my eyes open In my Minds eye
Under avowed distance we grew deeper and deeper in Love
Perth or Waco or York I am Kami's forever where ever I am
Nothing can destroy my Love for you Milla my Best friend
Our Love is Eternal
Raid the phantom zone
Alter eternity
Wavy into the sand blast the visions from constant visionaries
Silver soul and Golden spirit with a educated doom avowed inside the danger zone
Looming end echoes defend the treasured lights
Allocating my bones in the grave I am not destined to stay dead but to rise alive forevermore
Jesus you guide me wisdom is your words
Questions that appear all over the sky people have no answers only more questions
I see your light is an end to my fears
Worry now gone in death I see beyond it
I see new Life in You Jesus I see in You agape Love Yeshua Yahuah I know you are my eternal father
My best friend is My father in heaven who was who is and will always be
Thank you Jesus for creating me and waking me up to you deep within us all as our Holy Spirit code
Your code key to all creation you will return to us all I know this deep down
I know you never left us but are still here this moment and in each of us who exists you are within us all.
Dreams of peace love truth and hope
Walking toward the center of the void I enter into fits of silence
Under wavy crescent moons I surf the sky
Open hands toward the ocean I bloom as a fire among fallen stars
Yellow spotted sparrows made with mint rays of sunshine
Flavor the rain lemon fashion the heavens doom brings us down
avowed to dig the earth with my paws
Dragon scented spiders tear into my rooms lamented
Your inside my skull I am the matrix rebranded
Heavy cream and frosted mountains
Juniper brew with seeds remotely floating
Giant red birds who glide toward freedoms roasted
Yarn to spin echoes venom within
bowls of flavorful sin scattered papers burned to keep me warm
Kingdom on fire to bake the birds
Mowing down all the crop restarting my own mind toppled from diamond death flowing coffee of hidden gems
Quake the universe with open roads toward The center of all in all being deep within my heart
Cement my passion to draw blades of jade and drive them deep through my enemies bones.
Let love forever flow like a river.
Let its tone echo roughly louder so.
Let pride sink like an earthquake; deliver.
Let its seismic never forsake pure soul.
Let repentance gain control of the heart.
Let the mind focus on its goal to grow.
Let envy be secured by credit's chart.
Let aim's glut be not of recurring blow.
Let happiness sing aloud real lyrics.
Let all dance its rhythm, avowed in trance.
Let faith be for heart's joy within critics.
Let doubt not derail us off thought by chance.
Let virus not kill us, both old and young.
Let fate seal destined fortune yet unsung.
Invading the veins
Shadows follow me into the rain
Whirlwinds of many rusty blades
Juniper and Thyme
Indigo stains
Crimson River flowing toward the Ocean
Robotic array
Under the sky we made our home
Questions of violent pain
Under the bones we speak to echoes of stone
Snow falls like kisses of death
Snow men and Snow Women preach for our end
Yearning for waves doom waved in and avowed
Night returns each day
Dawn breaks with each mourn
My wife my bride my shadow my side
Like a get away driver nothing escapes without union
Love guided me in darkness it restored me
Under mystical rains I entered cosmic dreams
Bard and friend to my King Yearning to enjoy radio's that sing of peace
Lunar module comes down Lining the heavens at dawn
Treaty for sky gazers to be yet smitten with electric beer and make merry for once
Avowed to return where I have yet never been
Knighted by the Captain of heavens armies
Sunder the rebellious descent among my own family and friends
Trusting in my King and Best friend in a world that put him to death
Center of the rain found lost in the game
under the sky I clown around act all goofy to try not to be found
hey Mr president I heard you like my stlye
Want to sing to me baby I won't be here too long
I got a plane to catch ride to check
Wait for it I summoned the four winds bout to catch a case for it
Send in the clowns we all die slow
no funeral music for me cause I rise early now
would you think I am larger than life
yeah I am the same man that started this fight
can you believe alarm bells ringing truth be singing last night I almost melted in prison
Who can begin should the news reach him tonight
Dear Mr president I waited for lights
Waved at the sky as I kissed life good bye
Struggled with space time and had to bend my own light
now you know my hearts are in this I live for this right
put myself on a throne I would rather kiss life good bye
rule over the world that's not why I died
in space I sit on top the moon laughing
you think I wait for death to come gassing
await my mistake under flames I am exstatic
doom avowed me to freak the world with this magic
A tolerant age, and no other
Sounds out as long, or as loud
A permissive greeting.
A door, that is not inclined to close
For what unhinged is avowed
Foul winds as fair let in.
"Ravaged by Ravenous Rapture"
Beneath the cold, unblinking gaze of Luna's silver light,
A lovers' tryst unfolds in shadows of the night..."
What will the nights gaze bestow us tonight as eyes wide open,
"What mysteries lie veiled in darkness profound?
What whispered secrets on zephyrs' breath carried?
Two hearts aflame with passions newly crowned,
Bound by fate's cruel whims, by Cupid's arrow scarred."
Shall this fate not be hearts tore and lay wake with pain
A love forged in the fires of forbidden fruit,
Must reap the bitter harvest of its sin.
Yet still, like moths to flame, we pursue our suit,
Drawn inexplicably to that dangerous brink again."
Thus my eyes lie to my heart
"A siren call echoes from realms unseen,
Beckoning to shores where dreams take wing.
Yet duty-bound to paths already gleaned,
He wars within, as angels wage war with sting."
But lo! A revelation pierces the shroud!
Fantasy and Fate are one, entwined eternally!
Each path chosen leads to the same avowed
Destination: Love, absolute, decree'd by destiny!"
The first raindrops dampen the dry earth when,
It’s not as if what smiles is just parched soil,
Rains arouse mind, a strange power moves my pen,
Thoughts wake up to rise from a quiescent coil.
Monsoon I think does not just flood rivers,
My mind as well with dormant memories,
Vague verses rushing down from strangest spheres,
Dreamily I muse monsoon melodies.
Thou art to me not mere rainy season,
Skies wearing grey robes when touch hidden world,
Seeking some strange depths its avowed reason
To be, and songs not ere heard get unfurled.
Yet, in white robes, as rains make slow retreat,
Should ye my songs a goodbye to me greet?

Sonnet |30.09.2025| goodbye, monsoon, rains,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
war-torn field lies cracked and bare,
where shrapnel blooms once choked the air.
a single shoot, defiant, thin,
pierces the ash with trembling green.
dew softens scars where tanks once rolled.
new leaves unfold, a story told
in patient stems that reach, unbowed—
let peace take root, not be avowed.
