to love and loathe at the same time
is the nature of this glinting soul
admiring the world with thoughts of crime
in the life it can never control
to hate and like the ways of the crowd
to leave with nothing yet leaving proud
this soul lives in a world so polarized and cruel
but still stands off like one glinting jewel
to exist but never get to live at all
to give all love and always get the fall
this polarized soul lives so fragile yet bold
with its youngest dreams in a city so old

Contrived is how it is
incessantly demanding
jaw snap and tantrum
its alarming attention
offers but greedy promises
fulfilled by drooling idiots
The bubble bursting
in miming smashed flowers and peoples heads
extension cables attached
to connect their errant souls
In high rise windows
hides the ecstasy of open skies
Each component all of use
and no use, to use, or not use at all
states its claim of necessity
all those things of slavery
but must function
My toes scraped at earth
cushions on the blades of grass
did these eyes eat at bark
and of mornings petal
expand my blood
As if waking from a perfect nights sigh
I have lost my way
being of gypsy
but a life time of nature tenancy
and all this tiny little world is enough for me
Drowsy
lazy
silence comes naturally
and in such flippant garb
a spindles thread of destiny
weaves some pertinent web
Rest upon the Dandelions head
orthopteran chirping
as I slip the clouds
and ponderously ponder nothing
the sun is talking to my skin

The poet, he sat, with a pen in his hand,
And cardboard, by the shop door,
And his eyes only saw the polarised view,
Of what people chose to ignore,
The sight from his rug, from his holes in his jeans,
The sight from his broken down hat,
Was of the emptiest people, buried in work,
Living a life in combat,
Which had faded away the colour of fun,
To his eyes they were all still at school,
They each did exactly what they were told,
Chasing the coin like a fool,
And he wrote what he saw beyond their dead eyes,
He wrote from his cold concrete seat,
He wrote the things he loved about life,
From his raw homeless spot on the street.

In the caverns of mountains pathos fathom
Pronominal passages of perils pleasures
In a serene valley in the mountain sides
Collides while window shopping incapacitated boulders
About to fall measured alluring valleys sunbrite
Creases craving lines vertical I recoup regroupings
Of polarized statically referenced duty
I RECOUP REGROUPING OF POLARIZED STATIS

Restless night under summer skies
Butterflies and time that dies
I can’t exactly vocalize
Or apologize for all the guys
If you were wise you could surmise
The faults in my alibies
Then agonize what that must imply
And recognize how I exercise
Now rise, look into my eyes
Watch the sunrise
Ignore my cries
I’m not just someone’s prize
Don’t jeopardize to finalize
Though I let you fantasize
Romanticized and polarized
I can only compartmentalize
You monopolize but can’t characterize
Glamorize but don’t analyze
That I can’t moralize this disguise
I’d advise for your despise

As Bold Aries Full Moon Eclipse unfolds
with aggressive behavior to morph the sky
bleeding into the clouds subjective feelings
like blood soaked passion all too soon to die

Once I chased fireflies
Borrowing stars from the dark
To recall your eyes
I drank nectar too
From the hibiscus red throat
Thought it was your tongue
And where jasmines bloom
Still I walk there through the night
Following your trail
My heart turns to sand
And your presence was just dew
Need you more like rain.
But you are winter
And I am tree dropping leaves
A blanket for ice.

My burdens lift me up
Like boosters and propel my
Mind to the outer-space
Of inner-feelings,
And there
Fall away; consumed
In the atmosphere of
Distress and the charred
Fragments that remain
Are drowned in an
Ocean of discarded concerns;
Liberty obtained,
I soar through
The expanse of experience
Far from
Forgotten despairs,
Arriving at new
Alien adversities;
Once thoroughly explored,
Become the burdens
To boost me
Once more at the
Speed of concept to
Unknown galaxies of
Emotional encounters.
