with an alien face and
a blood-darkened eerie belly clip
that was to suddenly...

through an unopened door
dazzled with my mind catering
to my thoughts I'd wondered
your extreme motive night and day
desperately trying to focus above the old man
whom desires attention...

Till in the End it Takes you

I can jump into the purely rational space and deal.

Fear
What is fear?
It clutches and binds you;
Its clinch constricts your conscience and gestures.
It degrades and damages you;
Its triumph abolishes your own proficiency to prosper.
It stops and holds you;
Its impeccable knack of holding you still is...

They past is another country
But as life moves on
It’s good sometimes to recall
Once good times long gone.

The current Manfred Mann song,
Straight and slim and tall with
Legs that went on and...

The Battle
We carry the past with us
We frantically try to predict the upcoming years
Our minds are vociferously occupied
Filled with delusional neurotic fear
To detach from our emotions
Modern man might think is insane
Because to quiet the monkey mind

Civil War
This evening I listen to a Rock 'n' Roll band
Their track is Civil War, as our world now expands
To us it's the same size but to others they despise
For the want of greed exists in...

Surface Depth
We relate to God
with surface depth...
thus remaining
profoundly distant
from the unlimited breadth
and scope of spirit...
when wrongly considering,
we confound immortal, never sleeping,
unchangeable Divine Presence
with the ever-ephemeral, retiring
superficial nature of our physical bodies—
(the mesmerizing entrapment
of...

The wind howls throughout the night smashing its power into my night, I hear the

Piece's of Peace

high in the mountains on grassy knolls
ancient ancestors urging them on
from deep within' their own heart song
The skies ceiling is breakin'

honor has slipped out the door

Epilepsy
Sudden and strangely strong
many shocks flood my body
causing muscles to stiffen
in protest.
Does it hurt?
Sometimes.
My mind drowns itself in
electricity without prior warning
causing a myriad of odd seizures.
Each one different from the
last; no seizure is...

Set To Stone
A blue pen, on a white page.
With red and light blue lines,
Three holes and “fuzzies.”
The story of my life.
The story that begins with, and ends with,
Tears.
The story that is filled with pain,
Hatred, love, romance, abstinence...
Laughter,...

It is my fault she killed herself. Crazy talk. Nonsensical logic.
My first thought is to say, “Yes, it is SO your fault,” and roll my eyes.
Luckily, I have had life-training, so I am...

The Playground
Great moments in childhood
THE PLAYGROUND.
Responsible for
bumps, bruises, broken bones
busted egos
Redeemed by
spontaneous acts of wisdom
retaliation, retribution and mercy.

A ten foot high tower
ruled by a reincarnated
Olympic gymnast.

An 18 foot plank
Balanced on a fulcrum

Dramatic Verse
Back To Her Youth By Margo Channing
She is aware of distance,
a distance that replaces smooth with wrinkle,
that adds weight to where it once fell away,
a distance as controllable as a storm, as time itself.
It feels likes a rope thinning,
each frayed line...

Unstoppable Force
One foot in front of the other,
Listening to the Mother.
Rumbling and tumbling,
Through the water.
And thought about,
The path it sought.
Since it began,
A trickle in the sand.
A puddle on the land,
S?ince time began.
Winding and Flowing,
Finding its way.
Eroding...

Control the Controllable
Steer the reins of what's within your grasp,
Decipher with clarity, thoughts amassed,
A cognitive shift, profound and vast,
Transformation blooms, the die is cast.
Anxieties and stresses fade from view,
The unknown's grip loosens, no longer askew,
Emotions' weight, a...

Control the controllable
Discernment well defined
A profound cognitive shift
Radical transformation – it’s all in the mind
Stress - anxiety
The fear of the unknown
The weight of the emotions
Tragically – the burden – the cognitive load
Tired – exhausted
Tattered -...
