Save Me From The Bare Darkness
{"I wish somebody, some entity would’ve told me, even warned me with the intuitiveness that lies within the motherly instincts, the nature of humanity without malevolent reluctance. 
That lying in the darkness for whom which...

His eyes were a baby blue that sent chills

You and I and I and You
You, who are so perfect in my eyes, so beautiful- adorable, and I, so flawed, ugly, damaged and crawling with defects; why do you enjoy my company? 

You, who are so sleek and slender, humming...

Premium Member My Guardian Angel
I suppose,
as a pretentiously self-uberespecting Wise Elder,
I should be alpha-embarrassed to admit
my youngest son,
unable to speak or even sign,
unable to even successfully chew and swallow food,
unable to walk without warm-embraced assistance,
is also my guardian angel.

Without...

At least that's what I used to think,
Till you came and I was overwhelmed
By the things we did together,

Dreams Beyond Dreams
There are places out in space
that beg the question of why,
abiding where dreams embrace
our infinite inner sky.

Stargazers pay attention
to sidereal pathways,
tracing every dimension,
some using astral math ways.

Scientists study each fact
and what their instruments find
of astronomic...

I can't breathe
When I see humans defending 
Their meaningless arrogance,
Torturing the vulnerable
With their destructive powers
Merely to be able to appoint themselves
As the supposed winners!

I can't breathe
When I read of animals or even humans
Being killed in...

True feelings concealed craftily
beneath the sheath of surfeit psyche, 
fragile fantasy of self sanguinity fostered	
by the colors of chameleon skin,
evoke emotions surreptitious,
pretentiously paraded skillfully
away from the edge of reason,
epitomize cleverly the camouflaged ego.

The chase of...

Sleep: An act done by oneself.

Almost seems silly to ask for assistance when it is the act of channeling ones

 center-stage by centering ones consciousness.

The flood waters have receded
The turbulent winds have calmed down
Most of the monsters have been slayed
Things are civil, for the most part, in our small towns

We’ve risen from complete chaos to somewhat order

Smart and Wise
Smart and Wise

He says she’s smart
She says he’s wise
Are they one of a part?
Or just talking in soliloquy

Em smart I am not
Bad choice of word
I am from the common lot
Just a little wayward

Em wise you...

I cannot wait to be alone
The kind of loneliness to be yearning for no one
My life is living where my heart won’t
Is a life changing for a changing life to ever want?

The confusion he felt on the inside
But his eyes took the echo of chaos

Societal Pressures
Ideas implanted,
Without my consent.
Holding me in contempt, 
Knowing I need to vent.  

But I don't know how. 
So I, 
Aimlessly prance around,
Smile, but wanna frown. 
Head up, but feeling down.
Pretentiously playing a clown.
