And Water! YES!
Complimentary;
"On The House!"

"Relectuntly,"
Muttered Under 
Her Breath...

You Know?
We Have A LOT
Of Water, 
Sooooo... Much...

Some Planets,
A LOT Of Places...
Nearly Everywhere!
Have Practically
NO Water
AT ALL.

You Should
Count Your Blessings...
Very Rare...

You Need To Know
How Extraordinary It Is
You EVEN EXIST!

What A Blessing To
Be Alive, To Be You!

Now, Here's Your Water!

Between The Lines - excerpt

Stirred.
Blurred.
Deferred.

A haze of thoughts.
In the raw.
Unprocessed unpolished.
Ethereal feral.
Impulses really.

I might drown.
A sea of ambiguity.
Random content
in my private universe.

At times, I want to scream and be heard.
But all in time that can’t be rushed ~

The Beach - an excerpt

Vivere est militare, 
Lord, He, Almighty, ever gentle.
Thou, please, speak with thee.
Tell not the ineffable glory.
Beg thee to sing, to color,
To forbid, crestfallen can't be.
Aid thee, I dither long, too far.
Bury thy tenacious folk
Under the meadows and the beach.
Allow the waves wash this blood,
And may the sand, with anger,
Carry the dead and thy debt.

Excerpt From An Unfinished Poem

my shoulders are broad
my back is strong

maybe I was born to carry all of this
maybe I was never meant to put it down

an excerpt from the cassette

Since when does the film material collected not delete fully itself?
I didn't saw himself, 
his crush wearing an white bracelet even though she didn't like him in romantic feelings though he delve, 
she was framed, I didn't see him,
their communication was a full experience of sin, 
but I don't really remember any words, even a

An Excerpt of the Voices in My Head

"Cured" by the medication, my mind goes numb
Is feeling nothing better than feeling it all?
Screaming in my head becomes a constant drum
Do people really love me or can I not recall?

They say to me that I act okay, like I'm totally fine
But behind closed doors I'm crumbling
So where do I draw the line?

I have a

Excerpt From Fake Encomium Given Years Ago

Excerpt from “fake” encomium given years ago... 
at Lake Wobegone High School (my alma mater), 

and recently discovered ridiculous rough draft
amidst plethora of junk emails
while practice reading some lines 
regarding Midsummer Night's Dream 
upcoming performance.

Arch back like a professional ballet dancer 
to stand out from other pedestrian applicants 
seeking to fill my well-worn shoes.

Illuminate your

Unfinished Excerpt

Sitting upside down in the car
On its roof and well concealed
By the hedge it just leapt to
Land upside down in this field
The lesson being learned, 
When going round a bend
Trying to pick up a ciggie
Can cause unfortunate end.

It seemed all quite peaceful
In an ending somehow right
To what had been a memorable
And very worthy long Stag

Invisiblity Spell -An Excerpt Brigitte Pace

“Place this cloak around you and blink six times
You will then hear three chimes
When your body begins to shudder
You’ll be invisible to your own mother!”

Excerpt

The slying light inks up the paper
For the angle is just right
For shadows to enter my language
The landscape I'll dream of tonight

Excerpt From a Burnt Letter

Torn date

From the unpriced son to his father:
So a child. Now a man.

"You never knew with
what fanatical veneration
I listened to your every word".
For you were for me the measure of all things.

(the rest of the letter burnt).

Mistletoe Excerpt

excerpt from my new poem Mistletoe

Who’s she expecting ‘neath the mistletoe?

The poor gal looked dejected,

So lonesome and rejected.

For pity’s sake, someone kiss the gal!

Excerpt From Song of the Lark

The song of the lark returns

          To the edge of the woodland

                    She greets me cheerfully trilling

As I stroll across the flowering lea

Excerpt From the Compilation Prayer, Number 9, Serenity

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 9,
Serenity

I wish that we can practice and experience Serenity
And be aware 
Of our unresolved hurts, fears, anger
And triggers.
And see how they create separation and walls
And cause deep pain and sorrow
To ourselves and to those who we would actually,
really, love to be close to.
And also that we are aware
That we are

Excerpt From the Compilation Prayer, Number 8, Sensitivity, Curiousity, Intelligence

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 8
Sensitivity, Curiousity, Intelligence

I wish that we can all practice nurturing 
and nourishing 
our Sensitivity, 
Never stop being Curious 
and asking uncomfortable questions,
Have the courage to wake up 
and use our Intelligence 
And take great care 
that we are not “Numbed” or “Overwhelmed”.
Especially:
By the huge amount of companies, apps and services
