There is a flow that tempts the beat to expand beyond the tempo of social endeavors.
I taste the sweet sweat of the dance that beads into my mouth like nectar of magick coursing through me to become more fluid.
Stretching out beyond the ether like a current swirling, swelling, and then motioning me deeper into bliss that vibrates in space time
Time that dissolves into synchronicity with movement of the dance
A dance of ecstasy watching her move and knowing that the moment is never ending, yet hinges on its own conclusion that most certainly must come.
Shoulders smoothly rocking, hips swaying, and eyes too demure to let words encase them with their limits.
This is the treasure of life being lived.
This is the worth of being.
Some loved ones claim to care for me,
Why can't they see the suffering?
Endless pain deep within,
No longer walking, just shuffling.
Physical, mental, emotional pain,
Never adds up to a peaceful dream.
Total exhaustion in every way,
Wishing for hope, even just a beam.
All these doctors and different drugs,
"Try these now, they might work".
Never knowing for sure the hell it brings,
Just knowing the pain will continue to lurk...
The ocean never ends it is a continuous cycle of life a never ending process of living
TO A NEVER-ENDING SYMPHONY
OF EMANCIPATION’S RECONSTRUCTION
Stomping cautiously
Along the erratic cadences
Of slaved-based racism
And its quarter-note overtones,
We groove from one oppressive
Barred-beat to another:
The scored freedom sojourn
Filled with negative rest stops,
Designed to decrescendo
Wailing staccato, rhythmic screams
Of jazzy, flowing notes, echoing
With rebellious metered sounds:-
Bypassing silent apathetic rest stops,
With a crescendo of rumbling faith
And sassy melodic hopes,
Renewed booming sounds of liberation,
void of waning half notes,
Loudly burst into vibrant whole notes
Of modulating fixed purpose:
Creating a never-ending
Symphony Of Emancipation,
Conducted by spiritual directing,
Exacting melodic notes
Of an ultrasonic pulse,
Echoing a never-ending concert
And its encore sounds of
Liberty’s total reality:-
With every wound that bleed, I choose to heal you
With every tear that roar, I choose to keep you
With every emotion that died, I choose to love you
I always choose you
I always choose you
Over everything thing I choose you
But that " You " was never existing
Never existing ever believing
But still I choose you
The space that " You " had in my mind, body and soul
Is the wound that I choose as a whole
The battle that " You" had with me
Are the tears that I choose as a we
The worst that " You " had found within me
Is the emotion that I choose for us to be we
It’s been a long road
No sense of direction
No ending in sight
A challenge at every junction
But it all leads to the same destination
A steady rough road
No lines painted
No guidance for me to follow
A flow that is always flowing
From corners to long stretches
Riding every bump
Slamming into every apex
Never stopping
Never slowing for a speed bump
Flying everything into the air
Over and over again
Pot holes getting deeper and deeper
Like being punched in the gut
Over and over again
Confusing and mind altering
Tiring every corner of the mind
As the long road continues
Still no end in sight
This never-ending loop
Everything that I do comes back around
I try my hardest, but my efforts aren’t enough
It’s my mind or body
There is no in between
In this never-ending loop
Free me from this prison, I can call love
I don’t think it’s for me
My mind constantly in scrambles
Trying to make you feel okay
It’s either maturity or childishness
I can’t date a child
Body or mind
No in between
But he’s my soul
My life
The glue that is holding this show together
The only problem is, I can't say what’s on my mind
Without him crying
The poor pitiful boy
Who can’t stand the truth
It’s been over nine years now
That the coup against Trump
Has been rolling and rolling on
Relentlessly.
First we had Russiagate
Starting at the very tip top
Flowing down the Deep State slope to
Settle into an investigation
Which did nothing
But tie up a legitimately elected administration
For years.
Then came the actual coup
With stolen election
And trumped up insurrection charges.
And when it became clear Trump wasn’t done
We got lawfare at it’s best,
Over and over again.
And when that failed
At least two assassination attempts
Certainly got everyone’s attention.
Today the lies of those infected with TDS
Continue to flow
Simply because nothing has changed
Within their minds,
And likely never will.
Is this a significant threat to law and order?
No, because the only ones with power today
Carrying on the coup
Are the media,
That is if you ignore the dozen or so states
Which carry on the resistance
Like WWII Japanese soldiers
Stranded on some island without a clue
The war they fought and lost ended long ago.
And yet the coup flows on
Soon to enter it’s second decade,
Which has to be a record
For any first world nation.
(8/22/25)
Staying present within myself,
A shelf reveals itself,
An elephant in the room.
Zooming in on the items,
I light 'em on fire.
They were nothing to admire,
Only limiting me from going higher,
A past full of unmet desire.
I'm working to acquire a new perception,
Head in a different direction,
Making a better selection.
Choosing to accept rejection,
As a form of protection,
A lesson to glean from,
Forming into freedom.
You never needed them,
And planted seeds in them,
Some growing through the years,
Rising above their fears.
As unknown treasures appear,
We stare into our present.
Stretching every moment ,
Into a heavenly sent,
Never ending event.
Sometimes nights lasts longer,
Heart's pacemaker goes on pause
Time and distance freezes loving hearts
An ever igniting melancholy,
Devoid of true happiness and loves' passion
The joy of finding you after so long,
Faithfulness and communication unyielding,
A Valentine's delight
Eyes locked in gaze,
doubtfull sorrow takes flight
Memories emerging like eleeeh's melodies
Our Valentine's Day to celebrate
Our loves' endurance in frequent storm
A bond never to ever sever
Our loves' vision now clearer than ever
On a Valentine's never ending kiss
It has been so long since we talked
I dream of every kiss we ever shared
Everything I looked into your eyes
And every moment of the life we shared
I just wish I knew then that it would all end
I would have told you a million times over
The only thing my heart really wanted you to know
I love you every minute, every day and every year

Immediately..
No time
Appearing as time
Nothing happening
Appearing to happen
No explanation
Appearing as words..
Never-ending
Stories of freedom...
.
I should have said

feel

keep reading
i did
')
Don't leave me,
The dawn is too close,
Can't you see me,
I have a theory to propose,
My dreams go forever,
My heart never stops,
To the end of the world,
Make the people drop,
And commend,
My work,
That makes amends,
Stop the nonsense,
Skip to the end,
The nightmare lives on,
Impossible to mend.
There are times when I look back and wonder.
Did I ever do anything right
Seems a never ending problem
Born to party not to fight
Eloquent but never elegant
Brash and bold
Looking for warmth in the night
Too often found only cold
Couldn’t see reason
Couldn’t be told
Some places wish I had never gone
There were some I wish I had stayed
In the agony I cursed the world
Then dropped to my knees and prayed
Travelled a lot where the sun never rose
Always on the wrong side of the track
No matter what seems, I always was blessed
Did an angel have my back.
A never ending battle
Between what was wrong and what was right
Decisions made
By the devil swayed
Can’t win the war if you lose the fight
Do you change the things the did so well
Or change directions in mid stream
On a course headed straight for hell
Turn around and follow the beam
Trying to do a one eighty turn
But the helm is so rusty now
Look at the stars and ask for help
You know where but you don’t know how
You need to go up against the current
It is slowing down your pace
It will be well worth the effort
To dock your boat in a better place.
