Maybe everywhere?”

I desperately want to fall apart
Yet something keeps me going
And the role of a martyring heart

Everything went dark as we started to depart.

THE BRIDGE I BURNED

I burned the bridge behind me, the one elaborately built,
The one of all my failures, the one of sins and guilt.
A bridge I thought would carry me to a life of bliss,
A...

I Shot My Teacher

 Right in the back against the blackboard,
 Ambling late into the class with my bag,
 With a sullen outlook and a plan to nip the hag,
 I settled in the back...

As I gazed out over the slow-flowing creek
Suppressing the agony of losing my child
Tears never fail to spill down my cheeks
As I have repeated this ritual for awhile

Making these pilgrimages to this waterway
While I stood...

This is a journey of the mind
That travels through infinity
For all the thoughts left behind
Are needed for the last extremity

Time is like a winding tunnel
A vibrant flexuous underpass
That is elaborately exceptional
For the mind that’ll grasp...

I see them coming with their mean attitude and try not to stare.
I wonder who has hurt them so badly, that they want to hurt...

Wearing hot pink, silver, gold, purples, and flaming oranges.
Carrying a crystal ball, tarot cards and runes.
An elaborately embroidered shawl over my shoulders.
Enjoyed myself ever so much at...

Perched atop the vaulted arches of Notre Dame
Exquisitely carved spouts are not angelic hosts  
To receive the embattled, sinful souls seeking 
Entrance to the cathedral, Paris's most holy, 
Close inspection reveals grotesque, ugly creatures,

Does
Make America Great Again

Also mean
Make America Straight Again?

Make America
AntiFeminist Again?

Another possibility,
Make America
Christian Evangelical Supremacist
Again?

And,
more elaborately,
Make America
Business As Usual
Patriarchal/Capitalist
Autonomously Empowered
and Exclusively Enlightened
MonoCulturally MonoTheistic Again?

GREATness
is soooooooo much more
morally 
and ethically ambiguous
than public HEALTH

people dont always reveal 
exposing their curled horns sharpened 
	towards the sky
elaborately torn or newly shown

I'm really quite confused
About this thing we love
I'm talking about our poetry
That's sent from God above

Sometimes we write simple words

With their dictionary close at hand

Well I've never been...

Find out a clear solution
By thinking elaborately
A solution is there definitely
Impossibility is an illusion

If you simply lazily relax
Negative will be the result
Living will be very difficult
All problems seem to tax

Life must be lived very well

If my nostrils were bigger
My inhales would last forever
Then, 
I can breath. 
Firstly. Profoundly. deeply 
Fill my atom with Suns

A glittering flowing breath
fly elaborately to Cairo
Sit on a nightly spot 
Warming the center of the...

OBSERVATION

Above
night sky dogs
picture moon goddesses
Below
gardens tiny buds
ask for moments
of quiet
Still
Sunflowers and the like
whisper elaborately
tuned to natures music
and raindrops of love chants

careless stippled rivulets
shimmering ripples
streaming before us 
touching lip tenderness
rivers of grace rising
to meet us on...

Very elaborately crafted, but oh so simple and sweet to love
Even through the worse, you are my...

If an apple a day 
keeps the doctor away
What about a therapy
Before an injury that preys

The scientists with their minds
Should research down the mines
To find those love lines
To find the fine molecules in the spine
Of...
