Whether born brave the sound of love weakens the bolds
Whether regarded vicious the aim to win often fail
The loss occurs...

it’s the mistakes,
the ****ups, the things that
“go wrong,” which make
up the spice of life, which
illustrate the memories that
divide the passive livers from the
doers who find themselves
fond of the life they’ve lived in

Stop
Shedding and sowing
Begin bracing for burning
In land of melting

The crews parallax
Of the trees
Which conceives
The lumberjack to

But adored due to bark,
Chopped down and chastised a log mark
Famine yet fervid mouth of hell,
“Rollways”, or “skidways”, dread logs...

Things happen. Life unravels
The earth spins, perpetuating processes
And as we recount our travels
Our hearers marvel
Stories of prophets' heads on silver platters 
Representations of old things
And we should be somehow flattered
By images of our saggy bottoms...

A sister and, a survivor to the end. 

We never value her, respect her

I missed the window of my telling
you who you are. My greatest
talent, f*cked too thin to mend,
or maim when it mattered most.

I’m not mad anymore, just sifting
through the wreckage of my gift—
this heft of language,...

Written by a special poet named 
Jerry Bolton  




From woman I take mysterious crevices 

And build from within 

I pluck from warm southern winds 

Evolving spirits and calming influences 

Molding clay comes next 

Merging...

Wisdom is a charm that I wear closely around my neck

I hold it firmly and study it when I feel challenged by the day's events

Mind you the false ego that my self displays?
Mind you it and abhor you it?
Pray, be not fooled by what you see
Remember what seems to be may not be it
Rather, learn to wage your way...

Intuition of a Politician Poem

Maybe there is much that I must mention
Like apprehension and intuition of politician
Perfectly confusing and at times all absurd;
What might be meaning of their each word?

Many words can be incredibly confusing

I had a firm plan. The first three steps were sidetracked.
Mismanaged, mishandled, they blew up.
I am flexible. I went another direction, trying to prevail.
Wanting my original plan.
It did not happen.


I changed my plan a tiny...

I am an ocean in motion.
I live in absolute devotion
to everlasting mental explosion.
I ride the vibe music wise.
Better yet heart wise.
Unlearning I have prescribed myself.

So much uselessness from foolishness.
Sick ridden they leave the kids.
Pounded, prodded...

Questionable beliefs
Turn into mishandled futures
Long time age; being a child
One that danced, twirled, and sang
Played when the sun was up
Slept as it fell down deep
Bring up the stars who lift a room
So forever it was...

Inspiring confidence and glowing with swathes of hope

Brandishing pessimism and nihilism
