like steaming water seeps through the openings in the bottom of a colander
the wisdom of ages past is filtered by my conscious mind
leaving all but a few bits and pieces caught in the process

I am ashamed to only share the remnants of the astounding truth...

Our little angels are being taken 
by this horrible disease
GOD help to rid this from the 
world please
It has no filter to pick and
choose you see
It could take hold of you
or hold of me 
When it appears in our kids
it hits us most
Why did you...

I had not seen you here before
So lime green you stand out
Scarey enough to make me shout
Died next day in pool filter__gore...

You wanna see my pretty scars?
I'll show you where the deepest are
The ugliness for the pretty ones to see
Can you still rationalize your judgments of me?

I don't think it's brass, or even cavalier
I'm fed up with lies; it's life that I...

Two years and a couple of weeks and I will be on the road again. Back from living right and ready to start living wrong. Ain't that a *****. But I got a pocket full of money gotta last me till they burn me on...

The Human Filter (Freewill)

There is only, but one, who can see black and white.
For the rest of us, it is merely perception.
We can hope for glory, but for all is not bright.
As many have followed a path of deception

Choosing right over wrong, there is only...

My shadows are tender and easy to miss,
Like a smile seems innocuous, stealthy as kiss,
Still these shadows add weight, create drag in our life,
Though they rarely, if ever, cut deep like a knife!

Too, sunlight wracks havoc though most never feel
All its subtle intrusions till later...

Dare I Compose, This Heartfelt Poem For Thee

Dare I reveal, dare to my soul expose
No longer hide behind life's hidden pose
Return to Southern roots, a simple man
Forget this dark world's constant wicked plans
Remember her, life's most beautiful rose
She the sweet goddess, that this poor man...

The dirt does not give into words.
Blind-less in tongue and heart,
I have dropped myself in the earth.

Dark eyes wrapped in cloth,
Tilted clouds narrow my sight. 
Spiral down fellow pride follows,
Relieving fires flame of it's light.

Tonight silent is the color.
And the wind is what I wear.
Tomorrow...

Don't eat the shellfish 
the sea filters through
Every thing is a dichotomy 
they say in the end
This obliqueness 
sows it's wild oats in 
the forest where only
small shreds of light
make their way to the
ground
A starlight is worth a 
multitude of sound,
a one liner, a lyric,
a...

I need to filter out the world, 
Just for a little while, 
To drown out the white noise, 
The static and the light.

I music has turned discordant
And I cannot see the sky, 
Hear the rustling on the breeze, 
Nor the soaring birds that cry.

The longing...

And so affection seeks to wane
without faith's holding on in vain.
I hold my thought in context's aim
to some adjustment, love's contain.

As filtering truth, I filter feign
so glories honor fits thy name.
I filter solace, peace maintain
no purpose hollow, thee might claim.

As all in all, I filter...

Who I Might Have Been
David J Walker

Ever since
You came home
Things haven’t been
The same

Things that I remembered 
Have been rearranged or 
Discarded/hidden 
in the mounds of dead leaves
Beneath the dying trees  
of my youth 

A small fire lit under the 
rotting truth 
Of that which...
