Your hand reaches towards mine
The junction of lust...

Poetry is like a motion
You see the junction
And the function
To ride the railroad
Till the end of the world...

Touching beauty
if just for an instant
if caught by its magic
— if only just once

Politics is like a spaghetti junction
not knowing the right direction

Politics always has a malfunction
that always leads to disfunction...

pressed beyond the point of break,
with no known destination,
the last word left the station,
trailing silence in its wake…

I walked my dog down by the junction
When he had a canine malfunction
He jumped on a snake
A bite he did take
And now he has reptile dysfunction....

A Book's a dear friend
     transports me to distant lands

   Money thinks it serves the same function ~
     'til it runs out of gas at the junction...

H-as been 
E-vaded,

He met an angel at a cross junction,
and asked him "where can I find a place
to find peace, without pretence that I
have peace?"

The angel smiled, and touched his chest.
"The Way to Heaven is within you...." he replied....

looking outward
feeling inward
the junction point
is toroidal heart

attention stilled
poised and animated
in agendaless vibrance 
creates a bliss pulse

the ignition renewal
is continual
as we so become
the flame...

M-orning sun comes up
A-gain above the junction, 
Y-our whole life is warmed.

A-nother day breaks, 
N-ew dawn has given your heart
N-o hurt, pain, and harm.

At the desert junction
        of hope and despair
     We scanned the horizon
        to seek passage there

     Yet just when despair
       loomed ahead in the sand
     Emerged hope, our oasis
       on a prayer's caravan...

A walking contradiction
  like all those who bleed

‘My heart headed one way
  my mind in the lead’

‘My mind headed one way
  my heart in the lead’

A tale of two visions
 —the truth in between

A
dash on
excitement
tender passion
warm my leaden mind;
lavish,  pungent perfumes
drift thru torn, intimate halls;
chuckling from the cookhouse table,
our constant, unique, only junction,
drown me amorously…and I am near!...

B-ehold the sunrise, 
E-arly in the fresh morning, 
V-iewing the ascent. 
E-ye the bright beacon 
R-ising above the junction, 
L-ight in the sky shines, 
Y-our heart is warmed by the dawn

E-arly morning breaks, 
D-ark shadows have disappeared, 
N-ew day dawns again. 
A-fter the evening, 
L-ight shines above the junction, 
Y-our heart is just warmed, 
N-ow that the beacon rises.

my mother is strong
     and she cries
every day is one away
     from the first destruction.

my father is weak
     and he dies
each year spent in search
     for the end.

I am the junction
     and I sigh
with the struggle to know
     the power of the present....

How does language function?
To explore it and brain's junction!

Does the subconsciousness prove who's boss?
Somehow I am at a loss!

And how does it tie to the spiritual thing?
Know somehow Jesus is King!

So happy to start the quest
Feel as if I've really been blessed!...

The world is a stage,
Everyone is entitled to his platform,
Showcase all you have got,
No beef,no foe,
Let love and unity,
For all we need is one love within,
One love one nation,
In this build a great nation,
At this junction I say:a better nation,
ODION moves the motion....

Still Life

Bound for the junction,
the 15 Streetcar heads up the avenue,
change machine chewing on coins like a man with tobacco. 
It moans along, sometimes choking,
catching its electric breath to pull the hill. 
Smelling of rubber and current, a few sparks spit farewell.

Gun slinger
    Matt Zinger

Dressed in black
     Didn't come back

High Noon
    Was Doomed

Quick Draw
      McGraw

Got A Rope
   Hung that dope

Undertaker Called
    Dead Body Hauled

Poured the whisky
     From Junction 60

Dead Man's Trail
  Where slingers failed...
