When you gave me your news
The sides of my mouth rose in a maniacal grin
Was this some kind of cruel joke
Blood rushed away from my brain
Leaving me feeling faint
I could not comprehend
The possibility 
The reality
Of your mortality
It was like it was happening to me
"How could...

What is this? This way I feel?
I've never felt before
A desire for a love to heal
A heart so cold and sore

Out with the old
And in with the new
To my past love, I never told
But I'm happy at the chance to meet you

Discovering Love is pretty...

When we speak today we tend to look at words as a necessary constant with limitations of their own rather than a completely different cosmos in which we have the ability to traverse and discover.

Take a single resident of that realm for example; one individual...

A little dog was sleeping 
At the bottom of the sea 
In the painting of Dali 
He was there all the time 
But we didn’t see it
Till a touch of divination 
Wakens up imagination 
And a hand of inspiration 
Brushes paint on the surface 
Of...

A vast ocean
our churning seas
sit within Earth's bowl
containing historical treasures
within murky depths
Secrets settled
still to be unveiled
Precious cargo's price untold
not known if would offset
the cost of any rescue or revelation
Untold scenes priceless
hold enormous quantities of life
scarred by the touch 
and interference of our modern world...

In 1950 the boy's world
was mostly populated by women.
Men were there as well
but they were like forces of nature
dark, incomprehensible, moving around
making deep sounds.

Women had red painted nails,
they had permed hair,
they had bosoms
smelling of babies.
They spoke often, mostly pleasantly,
their words left a dryish lipstick taste

What is your favorite color dear?
No, don't tell me, not just yet.
Let me discover you, while I can.
Until the sun has set.
Let me learn you, let me learn.
Let me find you every day.
Allow me this I ask of you
Do not show me the way...

Years we've...

I stand for the underdog.
But standing alone is nothing 
without a voice.
you can stand taller than Rockies,
or smaller than the insects that inhabit
them.
But you wont be heard without a voice.

Your words use to hold me tight at night
Your words use to make me feel good
Your touch use to make me feel like I was melting
These days you have become poison to me
I use to be smitten by you
Intoxicated by what I thought was love...

I searched laboriously for you in the cold winter rains,
shivering from the shallowness.
I chased you on the hot, sultry days of summer,
feeling your presence hovering over me like a winged angel
with a message from God.

I felt you change me during the reflective, transitional days of...

The innocence of a child, will grant sixth sense,
The way they peer through ones soul, appreciative of chance.

As close to Him as one can get unless entombed,
is to be the Indigo one, eavesdropping from the womb.

Fingertips suspended in animation, Find
The images of all surroundings like...

pick flowers
drink while nectar flows.
sap is bitter
when stem hardens into wood.

the bumblebee sees not the world
with the petals that surround.

the hive hums with discordant sounds
and empty clamorings.

tomorrow's season is fall.

Oxygen spews out from peculiar plants 
Carbon Dioxide releases from burning fuels…
Our lives are close at stake…we’re dispersing about like ants 
Oxygen slips into the hungry mouths of billions of living beings 
Each breath we take…
each step we take… 
Could be a lifelong mistake… 

Oxygen...
