He's still with me, Everywhere I go
And the saying goes,
That you reap what you sew.
But at this point I don't know,
What the hell I could have sewn.
I can tell you, I didn't want your anger to grow,
I could tell somebody, if I let the bruises show.
I'll tell you it isn't right, I shouldn't have to take the blow,
That you

EVERYWHERE, EVERWHERE, TIS PUMPKIN SPICE
EVERYWHERE, EVERYWHERE, ‘TIS PUMPKIN SPICE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The leaves haven't even thought about turning,
still stubbornly clinging to summer's green,
but the grocery store screams orange.
You see them, the usual suspects, transformed.
Twinkies, once golden vanilla sponge cakes,
now a suspiciously orange hue,
promising pumpkin spice bliss.
Hostess Cupcakes, frosted swirls of autumnal delight,
their chocolate depths now haunted
by the ghost of gourd.
Oreos,

Nowhere And Everywhere
There are unexpected
and rare moments
when you can
approach and stand
on the rim of yourself
and almost feel
a strange gravity
inexorably drawing you
and all of creation
in towards
a centre point
that is nowhere
and everywhere.
Other times
the best you can manage
is to cast a thought
into your own silence
and hear its sad echo
answer back.
Meanwhile,
in the

they are everywhere
they seem to be here
they seem to be there
they seem to be everywhere.
`
they're playing with my mind
they're playing with my time
it seems to me, they're way out of line
their sarcasm wriggles and creep
cutting into my soul, all so deep
inside tears fall, again i cry and weep.
wearing their knowledge like a cape
to part and share they

I Bleed Everywhere
Even in beautiful places,
I am not allowed to litter—
not even a word.
I bleed even in happy spaces,
beside those who worship
or simply enjoy their meal.
And I am dying inside,
in silence and in shame,
for I do not belong—
and I have never found a place
to bleed
and heal.

Hope is Relentless
There is a persistent embrace,
a longing and a kissing,
a childlike giggling,
a free and predictable smile.
Life foresees every dawning,
foretastes every light ray,
foretells every essence,
forecasts every ambience.
Life proclaims every mountain top,
every sultry, tangled jungle,
every scorched and waterless desert,
every fathomless ocean floor.
Dreams are uncharted roadmaps,
virtual animated realities,
virtual luminous mysteries,
virtual unconscious answers.
When we are manhandled,

She fits in everywhere she goes
She is a child of the mountains, of meadows, lakes, and seas.
A pirate queen, faerie princess, ninja warrior, consultant to a king.
Sliding into crevices others might not understand; only herself to please.
She fits in with so many; her plethora of talents of which others sing.
A bit of a pyromania, loving the reds and oranges of

We've been everywhere
we’ve been everywhere
get up here, get up on your feet
the tide will turn for those who resist defeat
we’ve been there, we know it too well

we don’t care, Laissez-faire

Melody that follows me everywhere
As painful as it is i have to wave my goodbye
Cry my very last tear as i abandon the memory of you and everyone around you
i cant keep whining about the things i couldve said and done diffrently
cant keep wishing for you to see me as a human being
everyhting keeps on moving with times

You Are Everywhere
Like sun dancing through treetops
And springtime drops of rain
Like a heart's relentless beating
Or a child's growing pain
Like an early winter's snowfall
Or soft blankets at night
Like hot coffee in the morning
Or an old lamp's gentle light
I see you in every moment
In every scene of life
In every constellation
And every moonlit night
I see you in my

Oblivious with everything everywhere
oblivious with everything everywhere.
Sensitive to the atmosphere.
soaking in various conditioning.
oblivious with everything everywhere.
Animosity to desensitivity.
Emotions sound as if they were a symphony.
Sensitive to the atmosphere.
Perhaps it’s not here or there.
Suddenly arriving as an epiphany.
oblivious with everything everywhere.
possibly a hindrance of cheer.
In that moment a split decision.
Sensitive to the atmosphere.
Some extraordinaire

buttery morning
light
licks
there are daintily cupped blooms
small white weeds
that no one can name
the sun has spread its table
green rippled gardens
garner
flecks of gold
an old groundhog
a basket of hedgerow twigs
baby footed clouds
blue dingle
between eggshell
vales
run along
all those that can leap a fence
or skitter under it
go
for the light is everywhere
new arriving
let the rooted behold
even if this domain
stops its clement rolling
