The Soldier of Fortune and His Broken Wife

He claimed to be a soldier of fortune,
But who's fortune did he defend?
Was he a member of God's heavenly army?
Or was he fooling himself to no end?

He was telling the truth,
Of that she was certain,
He knew details and specifics,
He had lifted the curtain,

Mother was red, Father was green,
Brother was the big bright light, that filled in between,

She was the spectrum, of various degrees,
This hue or that, but never quite free,
 
Slightly warm, Super cold,
Not quite bright enough,
 
Never completely her own.

Little Sister honey, 
My sweet, hurting Sis,
Let me pick you up,
Let me heal you with a kiss,

Mi Hermana baby,
I hate to see you cry,
Come rest your head on my shoulder,
Until your eyes are dry,

It's as though our lives were not real. Like waiting for love in vain, every breath taken, just a movement of the eye behind a lid. And even then, who's eye is the beholder? You? I? Christ? So many versions of the truth, reality splits into our own personalities, but only one Truth matters. What are we then? But reflections of the Godheads imagination? Just a bad dream that's about to be awakened with a splash of cold water, to a grimacing face asleep...

I am the Elder Tree
No longer growing.
I am consumed by insects, mitochondria, fungi,
The lichens and the moss.

I am the Elder Tree
Whose branches held aloft
Your childhood fantasies of mighty ships
Plowing through the green leaves of pirate seas.

The looking Glass and the broken window...
 
Both reflections sites unseen what shows what is hidden I am somewhere in between.
 Yes we share a face and a heart these are one of the same but we each are different twins called by the same name.
Two sides of one whole you may only see one distinctly differing masks we use for a world unforgiving it's here we plot and we wait to one day break free.

Sing along, when the songs begin
At the funeral of
       your kin
You all grieve now
       its to late
Never to put a
dime in the
collection plate
This the ending of
           it all
    Never allow.              another
      tear to fall
I finaly had anuff
Thinking its only             bluff
  I have Nothing          left to say
No more pain now it all goes.              away

     Last thing remebered was Sitting on edge of         my bed
Raise the glock up to my head
 Empty out some.         hot lead
Sinking feeling in         my guts
Think to myself        im going nuts
  Just a single bullet inside the               gun
This is were i had         some fun
Spin the cylder real dam quick
Anuff tension to make me sick
What a rush hear            click
Then i spin the.      cylinder again
This time aloud             boom
A deafing noise of impending doom
Flash of light how darkness broke
From the heat of the glock raises             smoke
Lingering feeling of death is gloom
       Blood now splattered in my.           room
Nothing left this        end is real
    bullet fired causes blood to.             spill
every things gone
    pitch black
  squeezed the trigger i fell back
My blood flowing gurgling cant             even breath
Now from flesh the spirit will                 leave
This was my final
           day
Last time they will
            win
Nothing left but             this sin
Who realy cares how much it cost
They win another time i lost
Just go ahead.            and cry
Tell untruths of how you much.            you care
But not one time.        while alive
Were you ever                 there
lets see all tears.          you cry
And talk about how much youll     miss this guy
And understand.       its all a act
Never gave a dam and thats a fact
Like there was ever another choice to choose

My obituary boldy
   printed in the.               news
Tells the story of a man born to.                lose

Ordinary Comforts

How confronting love is

Tormenting in it's insistence

That I am deserving

Undoing my assiduous efforts

Upturning my best laid bricks

Roving over my shadows

That warm and persistent light

If love was not ardent and enduring

If not for it's refuge, I dare trust

I would set it ablaze and all of it's promises

My heart is not a playground, 
For you to dance your way through, 
My feelings are not something, 
That you can claim as untrue, 
My smile is not an object, 
That you can break at your will,

I startled I strangled 

I spotted I hooted

Caged in the womb of patriarchy

I pushed my fist up the sky

I spotted I mangled

I flawed I clawed

Beyond this room
that chatters day and night with noise of nothing good to hear
I move about and fight
to keep my thoughts of now
beyond the prophecies of nothing
left that’s dear

He lived thousands of lives
Known by hundreds of names
Once he was an explorer, a sailor, a ruler
He was all he could ask for 
A spy, a painter, a failure 
He had experienced it all 
He shed tears seeing others suffer 
And spread joyous vibe in the happy ever after 
Facades of people, secrets of world .
You name it, he got it all.
He traveled the world, without moving a finger 
Because, he called it the 'power of reader.'
