The Book of Changes



"The Book of Changes"

Thoughts arrived before words,
1000s of years before
the crossing of curves

always seen to be 
swimming upstream 
against the current

thoughts … and feelings,
in the flow, always arrive 
before words, they are cast 

in the...

Part 1 - Life Awaited

I have a story that needs be told
A story I never knew if words can transcript
For it belongs when in dreams I enroll
Visions before or an afterlife if I shall seek

If it all shall begin…...

Alabaster Box


She saw through tear filled eyes
The kindness in his own
She heard the witness of
The miracles he'd shown
But her past was full of sin
Of brokenness and shame
That made her so afraid
To call out Jesus name
So instead,...

To These Glasses That Have Made Me See

I never really got the chance
To thank you
For these glasses that
Have made me see

The beauty in this world that my nocturnal spirit
Has shut away
Like the wings of a bird
Shielding itself from the scorching sun

Summer fields

Mismatched Me

Smeared it in pure black hate,
Until it was completely covered. 
A black heart engulfed me,
Only telling me to destroy, destroy.

Without realizing my ugliness,
I felt at ease.

A long time ago, I once loved this world. 
Countless...

Maybe in another life I would be the perfect fit
The one you can't let go

The one you wouldn't have doubts about.

The sound of the water is all but familiar

A Visit To Mom

Atypically,  she was alone
and silent,
wig askew,
all the muzak shut away
behind her half-closed door.
I knew that she had also  drawn
the blinds within her mind,
to soften the impetuosity
of joy.

She struggled
to pull back the thoughts
that like...

Half Way

on a blank canvas
i begin painting
as one builts 
a great big wall 
So high, 
trapped in myself 
Shut away from life's hurt 

Dreaming of greener pastures 
One with happiness 
Safe in my Dreams, 
An apparition...

I don’t want to put this all on you

The Dark Poet

The Dark Poet

The poet losing touch with life
Faces fear untold
Reality just slips away
Powerless to make it stay
When his demons seize a hold 

Deep dark thoughts pervade his mind,
Worms infect his brain.
Empty void of utter darkness

Misplaced Childhood

It was morning
and I found myself mourning,
for the child who'd disapeared.
In this court of illusions
I got caught in the madness;
my fatal flaw.

Now wrapped in sadness,
caressing the floor,
anonymity the honored guest.

Perhaps I should have guessed this...

Read Harry Potter If You Want To Know More

Harry Potter a boy with no real family
Living under his cousin’s stairs, in a closet’s gizzard.
Shunned and shut away as a nambly-pambly
In another world, a known, famous wizard.
