After the Vietnams and the Me Leis

After the Vietnams and the Me Leis
Steel skull
Stone eye
Blooming jungle rot
Itching on the crotch

Kisses the golden egg
And throws like the Babe.
Jack is now back from hell and trying to...

Youth lets us find it in order to keep and hand it on a generation,...

And I can't see a single thing.

Determined to give it my very best shot

Here Comes This Time

There comes a time
when partisan
and pious positions
are set not aside
but explicitly within
both/and dialogue frames
evolve and revolve
private principles
and public EarthJust policies
for healthcare practice
meditation
medication
consciousness
conscientiousness
compassion
passion stories
redemptively co-invested
cooperative journeys
re-ligioning

There comes a multicultural space
re-connecting who Red Republicans hate diseased the...

In Life We Shared and In Death We Part

Dew drops fell on my eyelids,

as I lay upon dampened ground

I sighed and looked heavens up astound,

wishing for the pain to cease

I wiped my brow of all crease

with dismay my mind wonders

Angellic Joy!

Sweet were those childhood times
No worries no fear, just a carefree life
Mother’s lap seemed the treasure of world
Rejoicing each day with heartfelt joy
Happiness needed no reason, it was inside
Talking the heart away while spreading smile

First loves seldom last into the future 
I advice you shouldn't cling on to that picture 
Before everything goes south, 
And your heart ends up with a fracture

On Redeeming Time

He took his morning seat
to hear the Sage's sonnet,
"On Punishment":

"The people are not afraid of death;
Why threaten them with death?
Supposing that the people are afraid of death,
and we can seize and kill the unruly,
Who would...

We Await Her Arrival

We await her arrival
Our maiden of secrecy
Cherished by the stars
Whored by the moon
We wait for her day and night
Our hearts flutter into specs of cherished dust
As they escape from us in every cherished breath
As they...

If I Could Change the Past

If i could retake my life to bake again, 
I’d say exactly where, what and when, 
To my family and fundamentalist church, 
To those with importance as a crutch. 

I’d take that offer of life...

Empire of the Rising Sun

Leaking sides of a filth I abandoned

Sheathing myself to my fortress garrisoned

Waste snaking through what's left of my good will

On and off I rode away from the wasteland off the distant hill
