Lost and FoundOhh prodigious tree, So how it feels now?
To be surrounded by the serenity of charm
The birds are finally gone, it's with you, your warm!
Ohh prodigious cloud, So how it feels now?
To shed off the burden, and sleep with the void
The water without you is devoid
But atleast, now you aren't paranoid!
Ohh prodigious...

Josh Moore MinnesotaMoist sheets tossed aside
soaked pillows
Side by side
She was wet
Dime sack and tree rings
Green sight meet brown peepers
Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity
Abittor Unami eau de cologne
Thin plain pink blanket on the window
Air conditioner recirculating
Salmon rays preen her face
Noon spring afternoon
the rain stopped the sun peeked in
Bare cucumber blooms sticky seeds
Hanging over pickled
The...

CommonFrom beneath a veil,
A shroud itself hidden,
Anonymity It's masquerade.
Tired secrets languish,
Benighted by nature,
Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade.
A sough in the head,
Of their tepid maker,
Whispers nothing, wholly unaware.
Crafty camouflage,
For the crafter of secrets,
Who never knew they were there.
The irony aroma,
Stagnant blood without pressure,
Metallic, unmoved, unaffected.
Averse to sense,
Illusory marionette's,
Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected.
And the...

The Me, Myself And I God Must DieYou who worship yourself,
listen carefully.
I won’t shout.
I don’t have to.
Truth cuts deeper when it’s whispered.
You raise your hands high,
but not to the God who made you.
You worship the mirror.
You exalt dust.
You crown yourself king over a kingdom made of ashes.
You pray, but only for yourself.
You sing, but only about yourself.
You preach, but only to glorify...

unrecognize myselfI look in the mirror, but don’t recognize,
The person I see, with unfamiliar eyes.
I want to shed the skin I wore,
Leave behind the past, forevermore.
The echoes of who I used to be,
Feel distant now, they don’t belong to me.
I crave the change, the clean slate,
To leave behind what sealed my fate.
No more the girl who...

BLINDFOLDEye covering
Uncertain surprise
Beyond sight
No see through
Guess and wonder
Not knowing
Sometimes a capture moment
Uncertain
Feeling like a darkened curtain
The thought of caution
Careful vibe
Once the blindfold comes off
Surprise

Self Esteem
"She looks just like you!"
They say, and I beam!
But they're saying much more
than their saying seems…
For I'd never say to her
what I constantly say to me…
("You don't measure up,
you can't be enough!
You're ugly, you're stupid,
just keep your mouth shut!")
My mind in shock,
my heart so hurt,
To even think about speaking...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 1
The map unrolls, a skin of dust
where landmarks shift like whispers lost to a gust.
I trace a fracture, jagged, unfamiliar...
place where my phantom feet wandered, chillier
than memory allows. A tongue they spoke is lost...
A melody unheard of, at dearly paid cost
within the crumbling walls of an infernal keep...
A cracked, blackened mirror shows a face
though...

I AmIn me is a spark divine.
A vivid light that shines within,
Lifting the pall and connecting me
With God and my fellow beings.
Let me be, what God intended me to be:

My Body Is My FriendI stare timidly into the softly lit mirror,
Its gaze staring back at me unrecognizable.
I've been told this person is my friend,
But its reflection paints a different picture.
Its mixture mixes a mess of colors I never thought go together anyway.
A bit ghostly.
I trace its outline carefully -
A bump here, a dent there, extra padding everywhere -
So...

The Heart Of NightThe heart of Night pierced by first light,
Dawn gives birth to a brand new day.
And wildflowers instinctively;
begin opening their petals.
Shadows scurry back into cracks,
the heart of Night pierced by first light.
And color steps from the shadows,
as the moon completes its cycle.
A spectacular sun rises
once more, to push back the darkness.
The heart of Night pierced by...

UniqueAs waves crash onto the white sands
of the Los Roques la playa
An angel w/ a coconut aroma, long tinted hair
and Bronze tan line emerges as the sunset glistens
Her beautiful curvatures
With one glance of her eyes
Radiant smile
The world slows down to capture
Her unique presence
As she glides up the coastline
As the sunsets
She sips on a fresh...

Tongues Of FireAnger smolders like burning coals;
igniting flames, consuming souls.
The Gaza Strip is bombed in mass,
and hearts shatter like fragile glass.
Torrid tongues of fire lick the sky,
tasting Death as the jets scream by.
And there is no safety in caves
or basements that morph into graves.
Crimson blood stains the hands of God,
yet, Israel doesn't find that odd.
For words scrawled...
