Where the Creator is perceived to dwell.

Going back to my roots...

You where the breath of my joy and heaven,
now you are my curse, blotch, and you delete the rainbow of my smile
Why so, woman of mud?

said,”Hey, I’ll show you a good time.”
I thought that meant girls,
turns out, as things unfurled,
the man had something else in mind.

We went to a garage,
a rusty, grease-stained...

The pin oak leaves from dormant trees, 
fall on this crisp autumn morn,
as I paint the scene of an artist’s dream;
in my mind this landscapes born.
The patch work green is this valleys scene,
with broken squares...

Here I was when you were born

With tears in her heart, she bore you.

And now you became the black sheep, 

The rotten egg hard to crack.

I hate salt for the sake of my cake
That is sodium-rich by the baker's mistake
And the syrup I poured

Then a fish with a sword

I like sugar and spice and...

A blotch on our minds

The sun slipped back his bag and yawned
A day for today was gone
And into the sea he took a plunge
Splashing the sky in colours
The stars arrived seconds later
They were scattered all across
They gossiped, talked and...

Burning wide black shaded eyes
squint,steal a blurred glimpse
and shut as stinging tears
mixed with facial muck smear

Gazing in the bathroom mirror
my eyes teared honey lime until my vision became clearer
and the world became visable 
sacred nightly...

Why do I create?
The simple answer involves
the complex mystery of 
creation~ the more knowable answer
is, I am lonely...needing something,
someone outside of myself

With her bright red eyes; yellowish tiny tail-tip,
Pale green wings; greenish yellow-glowing mantle strip; 
This golden Oriole has great tales to tell,
Her enchanting feature has great magical spell...

Yellow-orange chest; gray head; silvery slate back,
Bold white...

On a summer night when the moon was high
I rose from sweaty slumber deep.
What was it that made me sigh
And woke me from the depths of sleep?

Which made my bedsheets...

The people cast their ballots;
And hopes are very high;
But the looks upon the Christian man;
Shows some worry in their eyes.

 And hopes to bring the fame
But the skeptics look to clouds...

I was haulin' a heavy load
Up the frog an' toad,
When down poured the pleasure an' pain

We live our life not thinking at all
of how one day you'll see it in a flash
right before your eyes all at once
now today you can sort it but be not rash

Think back when you...

The memories seem to gradually slip away, 
His footprints seem to slowly erase, 
My journey through life's maze, 
It seems to have clouded my memories of him. 

Indeed time could rewrite one’s story, 
Indeed time...

Behold the bounty
Of berserking bugs,
Whilst Barely not blinded
By the their bustled busts.
I, Bringer of Beatles,
Biting abroad,
Burrowing deep,
Biting a broad,

But braver than most,
Have been this way long,
But no need to boast,
I am the scurrying,...

I lean up close to take a whiff

and skies of ruby reds sweet wine 
Engaged upon the breeze my touch  
awaits the pinnacle's...

It was New Year Eve night,

and although kids were up
the only sound to be made was the drinking of cups.

They were filled with the hopes 
that fireworks might start,
so they could see that big beautiful...
