The Amistad Mutiny

To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle...

Village In the Valley
Village in the Valley left behind, and then it's a fine find
Mountain in the making...in the dark alleys of my mind
You're a flashlight
In the night
You are a friend
Till the end
Bite the bullet
You're the village...

The angles are in the storm
Just before the break of dawn
Sending a message to everyone
Telling them to remain calm
The angels are singing out loud
They want to break the treacherous cloud
and relinquish that awful...

The Witch At Inverness
Please take this time to steer your thoughts
To a wretched land of lochs and glens.
Where a village was tasked and the people fraught
At the woe and sadness life could send.
With the Dragons gone and the...

Flirt with Whitney
Flirt with fear
Life is good
But I rather be anywhere but here
Body aches from pushing out tears
Driving on the road of life
Eyes is watery
So I can't steer
And I'm getting dizzy
Stomach very...

In My Beautiful Balloon
With summer nearly gone, we all wanted to do something special,
And decided it should be daring, rather than the usual and dull.
So, we listed the things we desired to do, but hadn't yet tried,
And we...

Open To Evolutionaries
Dear Andrew Cohen,
I am riveted
inside “Evolutionary Enlightenment:
A New Path
to Spiritual Awakening.”
Earth's sacred theme
that enlightenment need not be limited
to elitist
and orthodox experiences,
memory,
imagination
Inviting us to become...

Surviving Your Own Life
My father and I did not share all that much,
More like passing a truck on the road
Parent’s squabbles I overheard offered me clues
And at times I caught glimpse of his load.
His freight always sealed with...

Deprived Of Your Love -When My Life Changed

nuanced rational quite often a typical traumatic casualty,
the once interminable interdependent passionate zeal disintegrating in rapid spasms,
a longing sated and mutually embraced by two compatible persons...

My Fruitful Flight During Nightfall
I’m getting tracked down by nightfall
Hear me…hear me…out as I fall…
Hear my call; my heart’s pounding in appall
I fall down – hear my pleas and answer my call
Don’t hang up on me at all!
I’m...

Eternity's Viral Hourglass
That which is neutral,
no big deal,
normal,
not noticed,
enjoys an intimate mirror effect,
behaves and misbehaves
with the logic of eternity.
Time steers virtually clockwise,
eastern dawn toward west's setting sun,
birth through death,
with day's completion duskly hoping
for red skies at night.
Time...

Death
Michael and Carolyn came home again
Their busy lives disrupted by death's end
Not knowing they'd encounter love unrestrained
By coming home for mom's funeral to attend
Life has some changes for which to contend
Michael and Carolyn were shocked...

tipping wild-flowering forms with full-color fluencies,

Inception: Lighten Up My Load - Collab With Mikey Part 7

Conversational Ecstasy
I believe SuperEgo bicameral comprehension
functions, forms, and flows organic
ecotherapeutic integrity;
I believe balanced Left-Right consciousness
orbits toward ecstatic psychology.
I've got nothin' to say
And I'm gonna keep it just that way
