Ancestral markings scream fierce
Warriors inside

On cloud nine,
In muscled arms,
You listen to me,
You left your mark,
In the bark,
That is my skin,
Scars and markings,
Speak my story,
You’re a brief part of it all....

Wandering in this darkened world ~ I find myself very alone
I see markings upon the wall ~ I ponder to where this map led
Knowing reality ~ I have the need to strive

Such a beautiful array of hopes and dreams
Hours of work on the color schemes
They're nothing but illegal markings
A pointless release for the emotions inside
That will be washed away once found...

i cannot stare too deep
into the game you're playing.
i cannot stand too close
to the dragon you're slaying.

erase the markings of
scars that have haunted
let love rule and flow
as a mighty river of truth...

they must think I am color-blind or color-unaware
but I am aware, because I am an artist.
I am orange with black and silver markings.
how dare they call me a young emerald tree boa
what part of me is emerald? I ask defiantly....

Dainty sweet pixie woman seen through yonder coconut tree
Has superior monarch markings on her chest and one knee
Heard that her singing voice is even more melodic than thee
I listen for the sound of her, as she glows most happily...

Falling embers

Splintering lives and

Piercing memories

Rage begets rage.

Weeping mothers

Enraged brothers

Martyred fathers

Widowed sisters

Pushing ideologies

My way or no way

Twisted metal

Territorial markings

Of a beast....

Looking onto the deck
A raccoon was seen
The body was huge
Birds flew away
Squirrels ran off

The claws were long
and looking sharp
Color of the fur grey-brown
The face face black markings
Along both of the eyes
He looks like a bandit...

The Medallion



I have searched the Earth for Mankind's birth
Stumbled across some petrified wood in the southeast
Inside was a medallion carved with strange markings
An inscription that said, we came in peace

Looking intently at me with lime green eyes
Those ears perked, listening for any tiny sound
Under the rug trying to play innocent

Gray with black markings like a bobcat
Tiny button nose adorned by whiskers
Gracing that smiling mouth, heart capturing...

The Jaguar has
exquisite spotted
markings...
He roars,
flies,
jet swims,
No wonder
a prestigious
car is
named for
him...
But he
has no
presitge...
but,
extinction...

Same old
reasons...
He's 
really
remarkable...

I hear
his 
cries
for 
help?...

Unearthly markings on the
moist earth toned shell skin
are, surprisingly,
from the earth we've not
spent the hours to see.

I get a view of it
through my poor lens,
the buried, small, unhappy
earth, away from the sun,
separated from God, 
where the devil's cohorts live....

on my brim
dons tangible markings.
Crafted genes engage
to warn iconic
of principled
death.

She measures
her tacky line, loping
anchors across
waxen badges
encrusted with
doubt.

I don’t fear
the web she spins
above my cerebellum
since due warning
of predatory intent
gleans....

So…are we still friends?
You wrote on my hand
And I laughed at the thought
Of giving you up
While I glared at the markings
And I tried to reply
But I felt insincere
As I muttered, ‘Of course’
It doesn’t feel right
And it hasn’t of late
To be lying on our bond,
Though it may be breaking...

The car was painted mat black
With red rimmed wheels
The windows were tinted
There were no plates
It looked menacing
Even if it was driven
By a girl...

...Who flew the plane
An F-35 Aggressor version
It was like her car
Mat black all over
With red wheel rims
A tinted cockpit
And no markings......

Perfectly round, I found a petrified masterpiece
each of its markings was strong and clear
a beautiful statement, one that's still haunting
covered over by the earth for millions of years
each letter touched my soul, as it read (We Came in " Peace ")

Redbird sitting on a log,
next to him was a funny looking frog.

Blackbird calling out to me,
so pretty is he.

Sparrow making a nest,
such pretty markings on his chest.

Robin pecking for a worm to eat,
which is quiet a feat.

I know one thing, on this hot day,
there is too many birds in my way.

The birds were feasting
on mutilated remains,
maggots oozed,
from the ruptured veins,
as bodies piled high
of casualties with no names,
ripped flesh,
rancid smell,
guts mesh,
and visions right from hell,
the markings of fear,
written everywhere,
and songs about bombs
bursting in air,
as death hears,
all the war cheers....

New Year

New Year celebrations may

Boost beliefs in the passage of

Time..of new beginnings..

Of the end of a year so

Recently endured..

A new celebration occurs as

Time is celebrated as appearance

Just appearing for no one..with

Its edges and markings darting

In and out..seeming as the 

Bubbling markup of Freedom......

why do we fuss as we die 
where a germ started from  
the job of the president was to stop it 
from getting here
spreading out and killing us 

does a president after a rocket attack
sit on the sideline
watching its markings close up and   
pointing out that the rocket came from 
a lab or factory in an unfriendly country 
as we are laid out...

A heated rush,
Pink tinted flush,
Reflection as is,
An insights quiz.

Who art thou,
Consistant vow,
Hand across thy chest,
A promised test.

Channels to choose,
Casting unforgettable news,
Markings red,
Rose pedals fled.

Right mentality,
Serving punctuality,
As the dreamer recieves,
Their reaction achieves.

It takes a dream to make a dream possible....

I knew you were coming,
  as I walked across the cell
  still in chains

I knew you were crying,
  as the guard called out three times
  announcing your name

Your silence was deafening,
  as my final meal 
  was delivered at last

The time intensifying,
  the markings on the wall
   —killing the past

 We All Come From The Sun, 
 but we do not all Bear Markings Of The Sun,
 those of us that do
 We Children Of The Light
 must Let It Shine, Again and Again
 Until the day of The Great Awakening
 Until the day the Truth Shines Down On Gods Creation
 and returns it to its Original Splendor,
 Leaving Behind Only That Which Wasn't Touched Along The Way...
