Earth is the "being" that is evolving, "experiencing life," physically
The only evolution humans can contribute is in their spirit
As I said many poems ago, independence is a myth, but feel free
I write as my record...

The Scent of Musk

What the world needs now
Is love sweet love, 
No, not just for some….
And so it has always been.

This is our heart’s desire and birthright,
Yet the...

My negativity, my biggest enemy.

I'm a complete waste of space, 
A confirmed certified disgrace,
Im not good enough for existence,
I'm a failure and dont deserve subsistence,

It's like a commentary the constantly repeats,
Negative thoughts that never misses...

Juice had a call that carried to the outer limits of the next galaxy.
We all thought he was a tad bit touched in his pure ecstasy. 
I think he seems more orange today, said a...

Truth be told 
truth behold,
This I see 
is how all unfolds

In plain sight 
not in darkness 
like here tonight
I see the sky 
ask myself why 
there’s no reply,
No mothership 
to take a trip 

And… oh...

Half past two: “BANG!” Thunder rolling, post, the lights
 
Insomnia now, made coffee, drank, to bed again, no frights
 
Boom! Vibrations of my bed, but still, there's nothing to dread
 
Just another thunderstorm experienced, from...

It's been awhile since I've had a taste.
A smorgasboard of artistic drug laced,
with passion, purpose,skill, and will,
beautiful with poetic appeal.

It's been awhile since my soul has taken this trip,

that take ahold,...

What Will You Do

When the aliens come
What will you do?
Will you go dragged kicking and screaming
Only to remember nothing,
Or will you go willingly
With the curiosity of...

I watched it crawl across my desk today, it was sneaky, and teeny, but I saw it.
So I followed it, as it progressed steadily away from my eye. 
And it was completely unafraid of big...

I'M JUST GETTING STARTED
The concrete post is a lazy old thing.
Just sitting there doing nothing at all.
When things happened it was quiet.
The illegal President drove smugly past.
The war erupted and death swept the land.
A natural...

The Programmed Mind

Riding our brain waves
What we do and say and think
Finds a lasting home
At whatever level
Those vibrations take us.

Do we remember our dreams
What we did, said and thought
As...

She sent me a lol on wattsapp
Please pass the ketchup

Mothership gliding in silent space
Umbilically us padded in shiny foil
Her face deflected in a fish bowl
Leaves only guessing about her thoughts
Lets dock Lets talk

A twin she is, 
a shoulder to cry on,
a mothership she is.
A perfect example of God’s love.
your other half,
your advisor,
Giving you guidance when you are lost.
Directing your steps.
Once in those shoes
but now willing to wear...

Brain, heart, and skin all electric
all conduits to awareness.

That kind of electricity flows outward.

The mothership,
the flesh and bone, the organic innards,
they all work for the cellular transference
or storage of electric energy.

What is...

The Age of Abstract

We live in a time defined by ideas and ideals
When concepts and abstracts rule
But what’s needed as a balance and antidote
Is grounding in real life
Relationships with...
