Strange Days
When I don’t see your face
It’s like the wind has abandoned sail
And my sins become my fail
For your passion has always saved me
But on strange days when
I’m denied your saving wind
To guide me into intelligence
To hide me from myself
You know the me who second guesses
Who lives in my head and digresses
The me who would

Strange Days
You can’t burn out
if not on fire
You can’t be hurt
without desire
You can’t be found
if never lost
You’ll never melt
without a frost
Your memory void
without a thought
You’re never freed
if never caught
You’ll never plant
without a seed
You need the words
to have a creed
The past depends
on present spent
The pawn shop thrives
on items lent
The morning lost
without the night
The truth abeyant
—wrong or right
(The

Persevering With Joy In These Strange Days
In these days of covid and the likes
you need to adapt a learning curve too right
for in these darkest of days abound
one must stand strong ready for the fight
Whatever is yet before our eyes
no matter its dangers and threats
but there's inner joy and peace
that somehow will bring no new debts
Learn well to truly persevere
to look

Strange Days and Wistful Thoughts Are Afoot God Knows Why
Today when and once i awoke
Much like any other day
With no or other apparent reason
After giving up all hope of hope
And instead of wishing time would
stop and for the end to come
I felt something foreign the
strangest thing as if a
blast from my past
As for a single second i remembered
what i was feeling was in

Strange Days
Gilded days, before the sudden rain,
Hot, green fields of sweet sugarcane,
Tree melodies that naught can contain,
A meadow of the moonlit firefly reign!
Oppressive heat in languid, summer rooms,
And outside the windows, breezy blooms;
Myriad azure days of their dreamy perfume,
Make for the fragrant nights-an heirloom!
Bush and tree stand in an idle beauty,
Now greenly sheltering the bees' honey.
Cheeky

Strange Days
Oppugnant and invert,
are the faces of consciousness,
so systematically permuted,
are the intergalactic fences.
When talking to nature,
walking the trails of great explorers,
while taking a troll around,
and submerging in those dances.
Distinct is the face of nature,
For the man, machine and transients,
A play it is, of the heavenly pieces,
of perfect music, what are the chances?
The musings

Strange Days In Advanced Stage Loneliness
somewhere in the back of the freezer,
there is an old gallon of ice cream
somewhere in the middle of the refrigerator,
there is a cup with some cold cashew milk in it
somewhere deep inside of me,
there is a hollow space where my heart used to be
my whole body has been replaced by ice
my whole mode of
