Many a tribute is written
Only the writer knows why
The reason I'm writing this
He could have been goodbye
 
This Bakersfield boy
Smith Corner he graced
To lose his mother at 4
A young soul misplaced
 
Loving Grandparents
Filled an empty void
For the loss of a parent
Internal destroy
 
High School reached
Hooked...

From Willows California,
Comes one man’s poetic verse.
Who was once consumed by drugs,
But overturned that curse.

And with the grace of God,
He lives a clean and sober life.
To fulfill his life’s destiny,
With Antoinette his wife.

He has the heart of an addict,
But it’s not a choice of drugs.
It’s...

Marijuana puffs
Famed hallucinatory.
Laced with excuses.

There is a very special man
caring, humble, proud
I am here to testify
and sing his praise out loud

He lives to love and spread the truth
of healing through the land
His poetry brings courage, hope,
extends a helping hand

To souls who've lost the rightous way
his heart sings loud and...

I miss my old friend
Michael Jordan
And sometimes I wonder
How is he doing
And I pray
To read the old gospeller again
Tumbling fire into words
Breaking Lucifer's chain
Renouncing the bitter past
And casting spells upon hearts
That wait for his spring to come
And often I wonder
Did the rain ever fall
Did the...

There once played a Chicago Bull
To spellbound fans, a stadium full
His name was Michael Jordan

He jumped above the rim so high
It seemed his head might touch the sky
His dunks were legend

He made his team into world champs
Impressed on it his signature stamp
A fist-pump in the...

Love is a thing that grows like a vine
It's message is clear just look for the sign
It's like a flower that grows from a seed
It's beauty will provide all that you need
It's strong enough to survive the hardest of task
Yet soft enough to let go...

There is a man,
so caring, and kind,
I guess one of the finest,
one could ever find.
He writes amazing poetry,
and he helps everyone,
he is known as Michael,
California's son....
Now an author,
his books are great,
by chance I know him,
just call it fate...
Ready to help,
he makes the time,
although he is...

Silver Glitter Eyeshadow


i toss my dreams in the air

letting them fall to me as i sleep

this alternate world i prefer

except that you're ever rarely there

in that distant land

where secrets i have i keep

safe from the waiting world

and waking eyes that stare and glare

The Goldfish Bowl


Once injected with water, sorrow becomes colorless and tasteless
Inside the glass bowl, all lives
only live seven seconds

The same route, again and again --
The beginning is the end. Stubborn as Sisyphus

Eyes watered and drifted away
A trace of love burns 

I have a sister on...

I am not a communist, nor a capitalist

I am a  biologist and humanist

I am happy with all animals

and all humans with no viciousness 

I love the leaders who treat the people with respect and dignity

and hate those who only love money and votes

no matter...

Narrative of the Year of Rat

February is like a fierce tiger dashing down the mountain
The trees and the grass were startled
The water in its inherent posture, ran and forgot
People became trapped animals roaring for their inner beasts

The streets have never been so lonely
Cherry blossoms do...
