A mind torn asunder...

The Easter Egg Hunt
I don't know how it started

But it's an annual event

But I don't think that an egg hunt

Is the best way to present

The story of our saviour

Chocolate eggs you go and find

I don't think that's the...

There are actual people
half woman half man
running mornings and
dream people in movies
half language half light.
Tomorrow is John’s funeral.

This is my minute
my moment
Oops, gone!

Anything can happen
if you don’t resist
Resist!

But who am I? You think bullets won’t
kill?...

We'd been travelling through the night and we needed a rest
The unmerciful sun was now rising above a red rocky crest
We headed for a large boulder that offered plenty of shade
Jenna was getting sick and...

He’s Hemingways whiskey, he’s vodka on ice
Smoke on the water, a roll of the dice
Magic and mirrors illusion to most
Thumbing his way from east coast to west coast

He’s lived on the brink, on the edge...

I was told about your retrospect, after that scene, I burst into tears. I learned they came to genuflect like angels and took away your possessions. They dehumanized your progeny like animals. They dragged...

Dependence and Independence
Dependence and independence
(Humanity verses individualism)
The independence from dependence is the soul core of human affliction  
The disconnection of the soul, mind and body is equal to death penalty
But liaison of waters to the roots...

Wondering memories of wild adolescence,
Flash before me like a mental Rolodex
Reverberating daze, 
Time cannot take away.
A fifteen–year–old,
Broken neck calypso.
Gazing through the jungle-o window
Unequipped to fathom what was about to happen.

I saw the moon in your...

Each Cherished Memory of Mine Cause Iz Woe
Each cherished memory of mine...cause iz woe

Analogous to unique ventifact for shore
and seven years ago,
where time and tide faintly roar
within noggin o'this common Joe
reviewing silent film unreleased,

unpopular, unimpressive tour

Wounded Worshipper
I'm worn out and tired physically,
but I'm gonna worship Him.
I'm in emotional pain,
but I'm gonna magnify His name anyhow....
I've been through hell and high water,
but I'll continue to give Him glory....

I'm a wounded worshipper,

I'M Still Hearing the Voices
They say 'you've got it kid',
but first you gotta rid
yourself of all that fakery,
the constructed rhyme
like rye and flour primed
to exit out the bakery,
and you cannot, should not
loaf, or doubt anything
you ever wrote, it's progress-
but...

He is surviving the burden 
Of your heart striving to harden
For loving you has never been a bargain 
Yet even in his unspeakable pain
He wishes for a daughter no other

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race

eagle eye, no place like home.

Marriage Is Sacred and Binding
If I knew then what I know now
My marriage would be bliss.

Till death each will part, through 
Sickness health, and adversities,
