Premium MemberI am such a pig

two milky way wrappers
how long have they been sitting here?
the paint has worn off the c and the v on this keyboard
wedged between keyboard and monitor is a small roll of toilet paper
I am such a pig

there is the washing machine oxygen powder
I wondered what happened to it
three notebooks and a sketch pad are propped

The Earth Is Just One Prison

At first we hid in our human shells,
Frail lanterns flickering in the dark,
A few still slipped through unseen doors,
Wings beating toward a brighter mark.

But soon the skies were sealed with stone,
The stars withdrew their silver keys,
We found ourselves confined to earth,
Like birds in branches without leaves.

Mars once bloomed with rivers clear,
Venus sang in a golden

Strange, thou art such a passion pill

Well-groomed ye keep thy ample locks curly,  
Thy tender big eyes stretch nigh up to ears,
O slender heavenly fairy,
Bright teeth on fair countenance endears, 
Thy pearl garland adds to bosom’s beauty, 
Everything ‘pon thee untainted appears  
To cast upon us vibrations tranquil,
Strange, thou art to men such a passion pill.

inside the mirror
her macabre apparition
seen by a toddler

invisible friend they think
non-seeing elders

Premium MemberI’m such a hypocrite

i smile at people all day long
young and old
fat or skinny
abled or disabled
strange looking or plain as can be
it’s all the same

but when it comes to me
too fat too wrinkled too old
i’m full of criticism
and i can hardly bear
to glance into the mirror

if this would be a friend
confiding in me
i would be appalled
i would shake

Premium MemberThere's no such thing as progress

there is ugliness in this world
where there is no need for it

why do we tolerate indifference
injustice, brutality and greed
when there's plenty to go around

it's a game of checkers for the have's
and mere survival for the have-not's

Give me such grief, O God

Ere I die, such a life give me, O God,
That I get unaware of me, O God,

So that my heart’s pain hover not on tongue,
Lifeless helplessness so heavy, O God,

That, on gulping oceans I go quenchless,
Give me quenchless quench so dreary, O God.

Give me downpours of pain, night of sorrows,
When did I say make me

Premium MemberSuch a Delight

I like you, I like you, I like you alot
Is it just me or is it getting hot?
Red boots, black jeans, black top, cat's meow
Give me that milk and I'll drink it right now
A smile that causes this man's heart to melt
Eyes that are piercing, your gaze can be felt
A trip out to Nashville, one

Premium MemberWhen silence envelops me, I become a prisoner of such deep calm

When silence envelops me, I become a prisoner of such deep calm,
That I hate the quiet that strips me bare, yet love it all the same.
It strips everything of meaning, people, voices, even myself,
And I begin to see the world through lifeless eyes, as if nothing matters,
As if everything passes in a cycle of which

heart dances to rhythm of bliss beats
soul’s fulfilment that so completes
boons borne by divine magnetism
illumining mind-body prism 
mirroring within God’s heartbeats

Premium MemberSuch is our existence

A life long choice, to spend wasted time~
Was your search for silence 
~and~
tranquility of the mind.

A matter of delusion~
That Such thing exists to find~
Believed only by those, who are subconsciously inclined.

How can a world, which posseses symbolic seas
 - and -
Crashing waves, symphonic with chime 

Continue with rotation, without it's voice of rhythmical reason 
-and-
Universal

Another satisfactory day at the piano

2025.4.14
This morning, two things happened
At M Central while playing piano,
And each of them really made my day.

A young Asian woman, waited to speak to me.
She said her name was VL and
Has been coming here for months,
On her way to work and dropping in to listen,
She always wanted to tell me,
My piano music has given her
