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

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

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.'

Little did she know...
She has soul of moon,
Brightening the dark lives of people,
Has wild fire in her burning like sun,
Providing warmth to others,
Heart of deep sea,
Feeling emotions with depth,
Has dreams of sky,
Very high to reach yet colorful,
Has creativity like nature,
Mysterious yet exquisite,
She Changes like seasons,
Improving herself to the situations ahead,
Has magic within her,
Gives wings to people to soar high in their life,
She is an unique entity,
making world more humane.
How did she not find this amazing beauty in her, before feeling worthless?

A road a rock and all the dust
We play we give we crush
When given love or everything
Be still be pleasant do the string
You hold on tide you grip the rope
You give you loosen so slow
I am stronger than you think
You will last I will blink

We play, we stray, Life, many a doorway all areas gray, a mystical array. Along the way.

Along the way to destiny, we travel night and day. Sometimes predator, sometimes prey,
Life's a game? Is what they say. Why on the real I must appeal, everyday a new deal at
times hard as steel. Though sadly the case an occasional false face. Beware the coup de
grace. Haters, trying to knock you out of the race.
