Rebelling against my instincts
Opposing my nature
Behaving as I should
Braving the uncomfortable

Acting my age

Keeping my cool
Of setting problems
Providing for others
Pursuing happiness...

Determined to move ahead
Yet held back by destiny..
Rebelling against fate,
Fighting a ghost enemy..
Frozen at the crossroads,
Confusion veiling all clarity..
Step ahead and create history,
Or fall back and follow the legacy?...

Woke up from deep peaceful sleep
Acid reflux turquoise troubling me
With regret I rethink what'd I eat
Cheesy potato skins culprit me thinks

The food is rebelling behind my breast
Like blue boat sailing in my chest
Gas and vomit won’t let me rest
I must eat better I cranberry confess...

always questioning
never an answer.
so afraid.
so angry.
a fear of never being loved.
hiding under a tough girl image.
needing
rebelling
always confused.
always running,
what from?
who the hell am I ??
what is my purpose?
find direction.
find a purpose.
find yourself.
find love.
lost
alone
lonely
longing
help.......

Does it begin half-empty?

No – entirely empty,

Yet easily made full –

That is, until a pair

Of lips sips down

Their fill of cool water.


Now the glass is halved.


Half-full. Half-empty.

Two factions rebelling

Within one army, rivaling.

It is not fullness that rules:

‘tis the mouth and how full-

-ly satisfied the lips are left....

phantoms perform comedies 
the moon and stars display lights ---
bluish-white night sky 

owls play wry witches
black cats and bats bring crisis ---
glow worms scripts in catharsis

winds and weather rebelling
dark clouds tale-bearing
the night sways in sleeplessness

You've felt this feeling?
You got what I got?
My body's been reeling
But I just can't stop
The need is worsening
I don't know what to do
My body is rebelling
And I'm starting to rue
The day I started this drug
My life's been cut short
My graves been dug
I'm sailing from this port
My end is near now
I'll say my goodbyes
It'll end soon now
Another casualty dies...

Stardust smiling and bright beguiling
Rainclouds rebelling and sprinklings surprising
Misty mountains and full fountains
Darkening dreams and sentimental streams
Moonlight mourns and wanly warns
Faded feelings and dreadful dealings
November nights waltz into Winter

skinless in my suit
i leave my eyes 
within a box;
my tongue in a river.

Boiling heat and summer
where we smell all the
little ones burning
and i cannot speak.

Hell and Heaven are 
rebelling 
AND what youth we have
spent

Oh, Gabriel come
stand with me 
as you with God
"Man of God."

Yea, come.  With
Michael.  Come,
let us scare
the world into love.

Women, sure, are fighting back:
Don’t rebelling energy lack;
For men’s vicious and hateful whacks,
Their sometimes murderous whacks.

Each time one is made to seem an imp, 
Some male body goes down or limp 
A confused one begins to sex starve
And can attack with what women have. 
You don’t a woman try to jilt
And she sits back to watch you or wilt 
A time to patronize men she would dump 
Better that than a throat with a lump....

December of life
When seems nigh, flesh fuming rife, 
Rebelling with mind
On life’s foggy end to find,
Mind still sharp if not like knife.

Poet’s note: The very first time in eight decades of my life this December I realized that my body, if not yet mind, is getting old, that the December of my life is nigh.

Rushing to take a stand for what is right,
Using the gifts from above to strenghen your stance,
Throwing your fist in the air and yelling with all your might,
Caring more for your partner, than the steps in life's dance.
Rebelling against tyrants, at any moment ready to fight.
Immortalizing your names in history, given the chance,
Those are the things I miss in this world, that's so contrite.
The past paved a beautiful road, which we've used to advance....

When I Run, I break the Sound Barrier

Moving through stagnant space
The world’s inertia pulls against my rebelling figure
Frantically trying to impede my speed

My ears
Fill with the rhythmic wind
Of my breath
My blood racing life to
My extremes

I can’t hear…
my mother
my students
my ex

I can’t hear
my failures
my insecurities
my problems

I see only the road
Create only sweat
Race only myself

My goal--
Hedonistic Exhilaration
as the barriers
Explode...
