Raw Bits of Heavenly Tasty Healing Power

Raw bits of heavenly tasty healing power...

Writes to his dearly beloved precious offspring
(today March 25th, 2021)
in summer re: a shayne maydel darling daughter
prostrated by grief evincing figurative bite marks
indicative being smitten (now unrequited love).

Ever since her young heartthrob
unexpectedly rent asunder
fledgling relationship,
his heart felt initial zeal squelched,
when prized progeny voiced ecstasy
toward him, an attractive lad
regarding company hungrily sought
once breached a bond
subsequently rent asunder
impossible mission
to bridge formidable chasm.

Aeons of sorrowful tears shed,
wherein our hereditary blood and flesh
weeps profuse grievousness
whereby papa
(feeling helpless thousands of miles away)
wonders how much more time will elapse
before aforementioned lass
exhibits freedom from melancholic affliction.

Scant amount of time
actually constitutes
longevity of amorousness
between Shana Punim
and he who caught fancy
of same quite sensitive
twenty two year old young woman,
nevertheless an ordinarily
indomitable female spirit
reduced to inconsolable grief
similar to when Zayda
(her paternal grandfather)
passed away inching up on six months ago.

The width, depth, and breadth amidst
every cell comprising
one generic body well nigh
manifested as yours truly (me)
doth also plaintively cry
nsync with sad mood
(analogous to when
said loved one didst die),
cuz filial linkedin connection
automatically triggers chain reaction,
who helped beget
referenced youngest adult child of mine.

Naivete and innocence
pitched hither and yon
to and fro, where male testosterone won
out against moral scruples
(read marital covenant I violated),
where temptation appropriated from son
of the Boyce Brandon 
and later Harriet Harris,

who willingly and wantonly
surrendered himself to concupiscence
thus receiving just desserts
being privy forced to experience hurt,
(albeit vicariously)
heaped upon Shana without question.


Displaced in Misplaced Confidence

If I should get punctured, laying leaking Crimson Tide, 
call me Deacon Blues as I slowly start to die.
If they miss me, take it easy.
All is as it should be.
It's best to cut losses, cut ties, change your name, skip town, and grow a beard.. Like To-day, act now before patience sells out in turn I act out of character, and when I leave this is all that you'll talk about.

Our natural satellite departs slow.
Binds of the parasitic plant; first love ties.

The pulse on your neck is chattering, It's slurring its words.
Downtrodden, ragged, in rags soaking drenched and sitting comfortable in combustible liquid stenches.
Oblivious even in the question, oddly aggressively asking, 
a straggly demand, expectant to be handed the light to smoke himself a real        'Death Sentence' cigarette.
The late moon is stunning, floating, acting like you're here and really you're staying, we all know that you're leaving.

What are we even thinking?

The only finger on the pulse plays to the beat of a night that reminds me of older days.
Guarded adversaries; imagine that.
The Heart Elapse.

Collapse.

Old and Grey or Rob the cradle to the grave.

sunlit hues are kaleidoscopic kisses
terrestrial impressions 
testing the waterfall’s eminence, 
of impetus, of its continuous flow
unbroken by striving survival,
unfiltered obstruction
flowing along its perilous path
thoughts, feelings, & reactions
meandering, sipping Adam’s ale

moods unbridle as they manifest,
ellipses elapse, evaporate
lapping reckoning runestones,
monuments reciting otherworldly 
phonetic pebbles babble 
of antediluvian intuition

these stones summer bleached
warn satin smooth
at half-light, titanium white glows,
there, as dusky jewels 
natural caressed water wooshes

rustling the leaves—insomniacs, 
lift the cyclical immersive mind
rushing, whittling a way
recanting, 

chanting murmurs that calm my soul

Happening In a Flash

6/24/17



Doing the bare minimum, or max
Won't always be the first or last
Near and far from waters with or without bass
Walking and running on grass
Driving slow or fast, still using gas
Seeing through my own eyes and often glass
Not spending time at any religious mass
Just taking out the trash
Walking down my own path
With an occasional laugh
Thinking toward the future, in the present and back into the past
So much pettiness and ******** over cash
Things being drawn out or happening in a flash
Just like that
All across the map
In and out of any habitat
Areas in sunlight or pitch black

Places with none, one or multiple bird baths
Similar and different temperatures on thermostats
Ah, the great old debate about whether or not the Earth is flat

Meanwhile time continues to elapse
Across a rather vast
Expanse full of life such as plants
And ants

While In a Transcendent State

I comfortably position
     derriere with pride
(all cheekiness ass side)
lightly seat dated, inside
ideally with bifocals removed,
     recalling "Plato's allegory of the caves,"
     where everything espied
a blur, more so (from mine

     severe myopia) conjures
     dark shadows flickr ring across,
     the edge of night - stride
rite across dreamy field of vision,
     no matter (despite)
     superfluous squinting briefly applied
across webbed whirled wide
universe till ocular orbs

     instagram, snapchat, and 
     shutterfly, lids slowly slide
shut, whence immediately
    dark doth light divide
consummate relaxed mindset
     frame imbued, and imbibed,
where gentle existential
     awareness dost glide

     ever so nonchalantly,
     my consciousness of self I abide
faintly effortlessly breathing n'er decide
ding nor discriminating spontaneous
     notions nothing intruding denied,
     flitting to and fro, hither and yon
     of each inhalation and exhalation,
     then, aye approximate,

     I imagine an analog clock
     some few minutes elapse,
     when minute hand silently sweeps,
     re: completing micro orbitz ride
ding tiny armature nsync as thought

     processes soundlessly, mindlessly,
     and independently elide
into mild trance send dint altered state
     akin subtle difference,
     where engaged bachelorette
     becomes a bartered, bettered, 
     and buttered bride
likewise with meditation disembodied self
     ascends cerebral cortex
      figuratively lapping - sea ming lee

     asper gentle timeless tide
buoyed by bobbing 
     mantra setting placidity
     wordlessly teasing, massaging, and 
     evoking enchanting ecstasy
     motioned via film meant invisible guide.


Weathering the Storm

A storm is brewing, dark clouds advancing in
While tears roll down an embattled face
Betraying the tortured scars within
Each tear falls entwined in rains embrace.

He knows the hardships aren’t over
Soon colour will drown out scorched dust
Time must elapse before forage and clover
Further rain to beat this drought is a must.

Unloading his animals when he ran out of feed
There’s a cost to sell, when no one can buy
When the drought breaks, once more stock he will need
Irony demands growth will push prices up high.

Financial pressure has taken its toll
Each day of sun filled completely with gloom
No income, while a mortgage eats at his soul
Years of recovery on the horizon do loom.

Exploding emotions as rain touches the dirt
A passerby might see something awry
A storm slowly starting, and a man that seems hurt
Kneeling bent on the ground, he's broken in cries.

I, Object

How many stories need retelling 
for this object to achieve sentimental value?

Does importance have an expiration date 
that’s reached when no one‘s left to gather in celebration?

How many years must elapse 
before this object becomes a family heirloom?

Does perpetuating an affiliation to the past 
become burdensome to those living in the present?

How many memories are required 
to turn this mundane object into a cherished keepsake?

Does nostalgia become obsolete 
after multiple generations are gone?

Is my legacy inevitably doomed
to suffer the same fate as this object?

Better Than Ever

10/27/19
"Better Than Ever"


Took a lot of tries
Opened up my eyes
And became wise

Thought
A lot
Took a shot
And got after what I sought
Fought against torment and rot
So oft
People mock
It never ceases to stop
Finally connected the dots
I took it to a higher notch
Time is what it cost
Pondering, whether I ought to or not
As I sat atop a peculiar spot
Where many lives were lost
On a morning with frost

It's a sphere, not flat
As time continues to elapse
This is where I'm currently at
Staying on track
Honing my craft
Had some nice chats and so many laughs
On this world, I've had a blast
Won't be the first or the last

Can't let the opportunity pass
When she crosses my path
Because I'm still looking for my other half


What an adventure!
It's been a pleasure
Doing better than ever
Being clever
Through endeavors
Handling stressors
And pressure
In any weather
Getting an accurate measure

I found some treasure
While in the air was a zephyr

Never 
Going to be a pretender
From January to December

I might be of the same feather
But I don't always want to flock together

Can't surrender
Or settle for lesser

A lot of benders
Eyes slightly redder
Stoking some embers
I still remember
All the splendor

God bless her
I wrote you a letter
And left it on the dresser
Beside a craft made with leather

Welcome To My World

Welcome to my world
If you’ll let it... let me
Where dreams will swirl
And what cannot be... you’ll see

A little darker perhaps
May even be a little sensual
Dreamy without time elapse
A stranger side to be an individual

Some balance you might find
Someone else you may get to know
Be assured will I not leave you behind
For the stranger you know, is my soul

A little light may dawn
May even be a little subtle
Warmth to only be found along
For a stranger might just strangely dazzle

If you’ll let it... let me
A little twirl for dreams to swirl
When what cannot be... you’ll see
Welcome to my world
