Fearful of my own greatness my past shadens the pages in wich I've read not giving up I cry sometimes to bring shine on the twigs that are in my spine the ability to pull away I lack but makes up with a heart that can't be torn apart i use these words as signal of gratitude in rooms equipped with dusty brooms and mops that leaves tracks of dirty foot prints jumping over the great white fence hoping to get caught on the wood chips of flawlessness to catch wift of the perfumes my gift shall soon bloom and spread without hollowness Everyday isn't filled with the fuel that fills me a feild stuffed with harmony of your voice is where my paradise starts and thrives more when you awnser the phone stoned in my own low temperatures to reserve the good times that Glyde when I sigh better days are ahead as you sleep in the same bed as me cuddling with your ever so soft body often times leaves me liquifying for 24 hours the scent that's left in dent on her side of the bed fumigation starts when I lay down and turn my spirit on rest

sky weeping ice tears
hanging water lamps on branches
sparkling diamonds smiles
earth turns to sun heat
liquifying its icy heart
sprouting spring love joy
sun simmering heat
turns fruits sourness honey sweet
with life starting seeds
harvest thanksgiving
prayer leaves carried by wind
return with blessings

...its payback time
for reckless meanderings of youth
laughter at another's expense
all mouth and no ears punk
now a pinball called karma
flashes a tilt sign inside my head...
a favorite hobby was banging heart strings
until their heart chambers bled
now mine is liquifying
into a reservoir of regret..
its payback time
for poisons once poured into
this temple of flesh
self inflicted
now its beginning to be a struggle
to recall
to walk
to think is to produce fog
life is thickening
around the petals of time
its payback time
i once prayed for solitude
to escape from desperate masses
this bait ball called living
now as my circle steadily shrinks
i wonder what i was thinking
dying alone is a disease of its own
alone is just beyond the blood horizon
a couple of ticks until midnight
the bait ball whittled to one
its payback time

Luminescence in pond
reflecting couple in love
romancing in moonlight
exhilarated by mist
from chocolate fragrant
berlandiera daisies
caressing hearts.
Moon winks
walking away vagrant
cradling sun to sleep
in vain
its lidless fiery eye
radiating heat and light
to rotating earth
nearing its light
to plug into
its energy
to feed life
then move
from its embrace
to cool down.
In beauty and silence
the sun
nourishes without
being nourished
self sufficient
like dare I say God
growing life in beauty
of serenity
interlacing elegance
of flowers and leaves
liquifying waters
of snowflakes and ice
splendor
of each season
returning
until eyelids close
to its light
and open to a Light
without night.
Look a new day has begun
sun rising from satiny
rose bed
sweeps with its rays
of white light
darkness out of the sky
awaking birds on wires
with songs and chatter
opening sleepy flowers
to bees and butterflies
sparkling water diamonds
to mist and vanish
like soul immortal
returning in cycle.
