I 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.

I’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

There'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

Such 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

When 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

Such 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-

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

Receiving His glory, His beauty

Embrace, receive the sun through the window
Rejoice I thank God you’re all in Him
