BOXES

...There they sit
Unmoved, stilled
Yet fully filled
With recorded words
A journey of sorrow, grief
Great loss...my proverbial cross
Proof that I was me

I can't bear to open
The plastic lid
Pe...

BLACK WALLING

...I see your eyes glaze
Like a haze
Upon your vision
As I near
I can clearly hear
Derision

Malice would have me
Open wide and engage
Try to diffuse your rage
Against all that is pure
The re...

COME TO JESUS MEETING

...That heavy, dark presence
Sitting on your throne
Grabbing at my laurel
To claim as your own

It presses on my door
Pushing up on my space
Where TRUTH lives in peace
Eating Manna at her own pa...

PEOPLE OF PROCESS

...There he sits
In a cell of choice
Paying the price
For shattered voice

She stands on a stage
Belting out words of hope
Inside, cowering in a corner
With a frayed rope

They hold their sign...

THE CROWN

...He sat upon a stool
In a bar, of all places
Three men surrounded
Chiding TRUTH for her choice
A cowboy can NOT wear a crown
With his meek and mild ways
Who builds his castle
In a field where w...

PLAYERS ON THE FIELD

...They align in position
Ready to move the ball
Doesn't matter how long they're gone
The know to whom the play will fall

Oh they will shout about
Foul play on the field
Fully aware of masks bei...

OPEN HEART

...Finally, after so much 
Interaction
Your doors flew open
Inviting my passion
...I skipped...to my lou
No thought or idea
On who to be
Or what to do
I was me
And you were YOU
.......for the ...

THE PIN

...Arriving at the space
Where everything hinged
I saw it...flapping in the wind
Around and back, again

I took out the pin

And watched matter
Fly in all directions
Motions and potions
Castin...

FINALLY

...Moment by moment
Energy drained and renewed
Gone down a rabbit hole
Where crazies are viewed

Saw the world through glass
Mirrors always playing tricks
Feeling relief in blips
As the mind fin...

THE CODEPENDENT NARCISSIST

...Hmmm...she will do
I think he's looking at me
Not much to look at
He's moving this way
Yap, she's unsure
I better look around

"Hi there, beautiful
May I buy you a drink?"
......"SURE".....

DISMANTLING MAN

...The train has left the station
Tracks are perfectly aligned
Destination straight ahead
To uncover the divine

All knowledge is possesses-able
Nothing is out of reach
No pit stops allowed
As t...

MY I AM

...I wrote me a book
I wrote it all down
Every single word
That dressed me a clown

I charted me a map
I charted statements of fear
Every single action committed
Leading to the -X-, right here
...

WRESTLING REST

...Lying on silk sheets
Warm covers up to my neck
Yet sleep will not land

Walking the white sand
Gentle breeze wafting fragrant flowers
But angst grips my heart

Sacred connection in motion
Ch...

LEAVING LEMIR

...I used to run in lines
Straight and sharp
Never veering
Til I met desire
In secret, she led me
Down paths of pleasure
Just out of reach
The fire thickened
and finally.......ROARED!!!

Freed...

COUNTING PRESENCE

...I watched her gather
The rejected memories
Then she placed them on my lap
Knowing full well
I would have to process
With no way to give back
...growth

Filled bags of new devices
Gadgets and...
