If only not so lonely,
Perhaps then I might see:
How two are one, but when we're we
That I am you and you are me.

I got arrested!... further developments await...

By gravity said law
linkedin with physics
stating that a body at rest
will remain thus unless otherwise
acted upon by an external force,

hence I cannot wrest motion
from inert human matter
regarding nearly lifeless entity
concerning how aye barely breathe
heavily weighed down

with lugubriousness easily crushing
this seventy...

My dreams become a vast oasis of emptiness
Further into the sun I follow
Torn and battered, but on a straight line
Meaning is entertainment for the fish
The sea is full of sharks swimming in blood
Each thought more random, more lost
To trap a thought is to kill a...

Something further must be said. 
Still, no more shall e'er be spoken
from dispassion's distant bed. 

Something further must be said,
but undertaken by the dead,
vows of silence can't be broken. 

Something further must be said,
still, no more shall e'er be spoken...

To see or not to see, past the illusion.
Of truth secretly whispered back and forth,
creating confusion.

Shakespeare publicly fought between life and death
for pure amusement.

Within my thoughts, hope's not lost but found,
don't fight with fear use it.

Time is endlessly precious when our soul starts to lose...

Stanleys' plane circles wild, fro and aft.
Ollie screamed up: " Throw me a raft!"    Oh Ho Oh Ho Oh Ho Oh Ho.
with gathering gators
I won't be here later
One just gave my drawers a big draft.  OhhhOhhh....

When they opened the gator to...

"Westward, further out ..."

Dusk washes over you
warm like honey 
saltry and sweet
immersed in amber tones of 
apricot alerts and rose 
swirling unfurling peonies 
the blooming silent dancing clouds 
rush over white horses 
crashing against 
bracken green emeralds
the depths open 
and unfathomable,
who can read the eyes...

Nothing further can be said. 
No more shall now be spoken

from dispassion's distant bed. 
Nothing further can be said, 

as such deals are, by the dead, 
struck mute. So even broken, 

nothing further can be said. 
No more shall now be spoken....

.Lover don't look no where else

For me but at the top where you see

Me with people who are in a country city

Roe City is where you'll find me.

You can't look down there no mo'

Mediocrity kicked me out the do'

I ain't mad at them either tho'

They...

Dancing forever on the razors edge

Climbing all day without leaving the ledge

Cutting myself and no one sees me bleed

Having it all but not knowing what I need

Gaining a minute but loosing an hour

Tasting your sweet but coming up sour

Loosing my religion but believing his word

Listening...

I've been in search for that smile,
Some serenity when the rest of the world has gone wild.
I've been searching for an end to all this pain,
Searching for an end to this rain.
The dampness of my skin, the weight from the wetness,
As I beg and plead...

the lissom sea lily a testament at your death
feathered petals left in memory

but are you dead, Neptune? 
I am no longer reminded of 
the spotted watery wedding veil along the edge
it has now become a frozen blue veil
around a beach ball
hung or strung 
in the...

   Cliff hanger story - 
   Freshly shorn scrawny

   Atop rocky bluff rugged
   Shivering survival questionable
