my words are few
I will give you a clue
the less I say
the more I know
listen to the conversations surrounding you
do you hear the emotion in the words?
take a moment and feel the words
gliding together like birds in flight
the journey is happening this very night.
wait one moment
stop right there
listen ....

Oh! mighty waves what a tragic you’ve done!        Oh! mighty waves what a tragic you’ve done!

 

 Some cried for their parents.

 Some cried for their children.

 Some lost their shelter.

 And some were broken their spirits.

The alarm starts ringing.

 Another day is beginning.

 You lie in bed thinking.

 What shall I be wearing.

 

 What shall I wear today?

 A blue outfit with red accessories?

 Or what shall I wear today?

 A comfortable costume with all necessities?

The Sky can't Touch Us

From dust up

It pushes

Coming true wishes

Fruition

High enough

Making us delicious

Soulful fingers

Fuel to feel

Heartache and triumph

Hurt and zeal

And the sky can’t touch us

Have some whiskey.

Now quickly,

Change the subject

You chain smoking shit.

You're just dribbling piss

On paper.

The work of weeding.

And only later will I write 

of the gossamer purity of these hours, 

these moments waxed angelic golden 

in the humming of the sun.

 

of ripping asunder to grow, 

to plant,

to tear to torn 

in bitter milks.

 

of genus, 

of species,

taxonomies yet unknown,

tauntingly familiar fragments 

of a past knowing lingers,

loose wisdom in the ethers.

It's not the sound of your voice,

But the tone of your whine,

That makes me want to punch you in the face,

Every single time,

You open your mouth to cry or complain,

Shhhhh!

Your fuckin' causin' me pain!!!

What is it to feel these invisble tethers that connect us as people?

The weight of each heart and soul as tangible as any object?

I wouldn't know.

I create the illusion of that touch;

Pulling joy from the paintings I can only observe,

As badly as I may want to plant myself among those brush strokes.

Thousand worded photographs can't capture me,

Because I don't exist.

Insatiable Nonsense

Illuminated Lust: 

A hunger for slumbering love,

To taste the the decadence,

The richness,

She's drenched in.

And in an instant, dance in the the waters of her soul.

 

Stumbling among common stones, 

I've walked this dark unknown

And here,

I behold a supernova.

Breakfast sausage meets bratwurst.

Steamed in a confection of sweet, starchy goodness.

Greasy just within the seams,

Delicious lup cheong bun.

A Butterfly

A Butterfly flying with its wings wide open,

A moment every caterpillar dreams about,

Born in the shade of mother nature,

Building its life on its own stature.

 

It dreams with the first opening of its eyes,

And keeps on dreaming till it dies,

It knows its purpose of existence,

The purpose to live about in freedom.

Dressing the Marionette

Oh, how I've woven.

I am the lonely tailor

And she wears  my greatest piece;

She wears deceit perfectly.

Fabricated finicky stitching

Adorns those graceful strides.

"I love you."

Gorgeously empty words,

Lining the seams.
