I Got Your Letter As School Started
----------

Thirty tear-splashed pages
My response with runny ink
Not us anymore, don't you think?
Fire consumed it in a blink

You just left me!
Okay, you had a chance
You could not pass up
For our romance
I get that but...

I said someday...

Premium Member Child In Me
In this blest childhood stature, may I stay
Savoring God’s goodness day after day
Cheerfully walking upon peaceful way
Basking under freedom, so purely gay.

With child*-like faith, I please my Christ today
Devoid of pretense along heaven’s ray
Verily trusting,...

Pained But Free
You could have just told me, but you made me feel unloved and a waste of time. 
If time was truly what you needed, you know I wouldn’t given you that. 
You’ve told me things...

Outgrowing Self-Loathing
My suit of self-loathing no longer fits
The mirror of compassion tells me so
Years of bad-intentions held back growth 
After a time, the length of my sleeves bind
I didn’t realize I’ve become over-sized

These angry pants are...

Basking in mirth’s pleasure from seizure’s test 
striving boy blends well with Mom’s crooning voice

Done With This 2018
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I am waiting to go home
Everyone's true colors have been shown
Everyone's level, I've outgrown
Now you get paid to be a clone
White girls get paid for what she's shown
Black girl does it,...

Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uqZhnqHMAg


The orchestra strains to be symphonic --- a bee in a tin box.
Cigar smoke thunders, molecules of sound wilt

driven by...

I could know no Self
without an Other

We could have no Child
without an EarthMother

No Ego
without an Earth-bound EcoSystem

I could understand no male
linear formation dominantly prominent
without a co-responding female circling
inflowing/outgrowing concomitance

I could not know severance bipolar
of either/or...

Out of the mouths of babes echoes “Car! Car!”
  and points he the bended finger waving.

With its sun bathing golden paddy spikes gone for good 
Usurped as they are by the murky canopies of rubber trees

Ode To Monsoon's Debris
Ye that have come from far
he welcomes thy air except weary dust
that still may hamper this sparkling light
turning bonds feeble
outgrowing and decaying thus dreads.
The air at times conceived
is still forlorn and pauseful
what it now entails...
