Stuffing flags in the window
and calling it home
valuing our space
as our space!

Picking up rocks from the driveway
like when we were little
rescinding our past
like some nightmare of repitition!

Respecting each other
for what we couldn't accomplishment
and/or understand
a moment...

I comport myself with quiet pridefulness,
plus intellectual whimsy
aware that "FAKE" pretentiousness,
could be mistaken foreign egotistical vitae
furthering, feathering and figuratively
undermining jestingly, 

poetically, and zealously
oozing, gushing, bubbling over
with faux snobbish suave re:

Closing my thoughts to clear my mind; sight....

Floating through a souls time, unto tranquilities breeze

Gently, that I may find, somehow such treasures

The beauty, within all of life ~

Pleasant these things; these paintings dreams....

Don't judge another person
The guy you think is a jerk may not be a jerk after all 
Why are we so quick to judge other people?

standing on the precipice of twilight

This Aching Heart Cracked Like A Weathered Stone

This aching heart cracked like a weathered stone
fissures through lean muscle and solid bone.
There once dwelt love deep and never ending
now just faded memories rescinding.

There was pure joy...

This is a love 
that is bitter as citrus
that leaves me burning coldly
bowed head, clenched fists
on a park bench

Mile markers pave the way
Across this land sublime
Wind blows through the car
On my arm sunshine

Generations of people
Spirits across the land
Occupy a history
Of faces in...

Journey's end evades, ever evading
Pleasures trampled upon, beached, down wind
Though hopeful, lone strangers keep rescinding
Flights of wanton fancy bedazzle me
Hard facts in consequences I have binned
Though in searching no-one seems to agree

Overland territories in spatial...

I die … without a fight … yet not conceding
But gently, as the world around me ages
Rescinding gift of health, each sense receding
As life escapes me, in retreating stages

Perhaps beyond this chapter lies conclusion
Or if...
