Propegate positivity

what we think breathes life into action
i am reminded of my request and receipt of this 1939 Wurlitzer piano sitting next to me
the "whole new wardrobe" I stated i needed just the same evening i was told of my coming piano
now, I ask for a building
on this rock, i build my "un"church
breathe new life daily

rain

Phoenix Feather

In between singed and rippled Phoenix feathers
The Rain begins to fall
Cleansing tide of river rapids
Savage beast begins to scream
Ends to the means
This composium falters
Shakes it off and saunters onward
Warding off the pulsating rhythm
Heart beats in chest
Fifteen hundred miles away
Day to the brightness
Gave sway to the grey sky
In honor of my tears
He hears my wisdom
Sickness sticks to the
Marrow of my stomach
Rummage through retail
Like it matters at all
I am your breathing
The air to your lungs
You are my depth
Ocean sonar
Bars to a beat
Drive heat to this dark house
What I'm about
Is obvious right away
Oblivious to the emptiness
Of any at rest being
Either move with me forward
Or watch me fly away

Untitled * Undated

Mystery. Mimicry of when I believed in a different me
Apathy crept up and bit the ass of me
Listening
The act of actually shutting up to see
What others have to say
I'm swaying here
Like a ghost of my former years
A sapling palm in a hurricane
Down pouring rain
Crazy
Or maybe my thought process just a little bit hazy
limited to offerings I know will never save me
I am bargaining with a chip that really doesn't belong to me
Sickening
But I'm humming under my breath to convince msyelf
This is all for the betterment
Tenement
My soul is encased in glass for all to see
Weaving in and out of time lines
Fine wines
Dollar store drive by's
I remind myself there's nothing I have been afraid of
That I haven't overcome
Sunshine
Rhyme over reason I am defined
Listless
Gifted but just a little bit of a misfit
I give this
My intentions to do the best I can
Hand over hand I climb this rope
Smoking my dope
But not to escape
Third eye open
This is how I'm coping
Slow but this process is flowing
But I know I'm on my way
Stay here
Longer than I meant to but I'm not scared
Tarry in the waters when it feels right
Soul always knows the time to leave
Seeping
Shit out of me like old semen
Table tops are marked where time has scraped them
Door jamb
Open to my open hand
Time is defined by our mind span
Holding on till its time to let go

Untitled * Undated

Pieces of puzzles that grew from rubble that fell from me
Commiscerating like life keeping me waiting
But am I not free?
Destiny scratches her nails down my back
Sassy and making these cruel attacks
Marketing freedom like I should believe
Pieces of me fondeling progress
Dreams drip like rain along the basin of a river
Waiting to join the flow and finally be on its way
Sailing like failing on this sun less day
Washing the stench of the trenches from my smile
Miles in these shoes keep me standing around
Still there is the sound of your laughter
To hold me from another
And a smile on your lips that could never lie
Would you know How I missed you
If I reached out to kiss you
Or would you still wonder at the depth of it all
True satisfaction like combustive reaction
We are as we would be on any other day
I'm begging for havens from societies cravings
They are bathing in slavery and calling it home
Marketing slaughter like sons are now daughters
Like books out on borrowed syndicated time
Rhyme if you want to but I have no issue

Once More * 2/11/10

I don't belong here any more
Paintings surround what used to be
Houses of feelings
Souls pouring over with exhuberance
Lifting false faces
Proud and erect
Neglected and downcast
I ran past your stop signs
Your warning bells
You sell me another of your pretenses
Fences mended with money for
Spending or sending neighbors
Far away
It's cold in here and I'm more lonely
Than I've ever been
Eyes meet the fervent heat of desire
A fire once burned where embers now fade away
Say something to make me believe in you
Say something that will resonate as truth
Youthful fancies of love emulating poetry
He's reaching inside of me
And fingering my soul
Hole made deeper my passing shadow
Darken my face no more
The blue hue of you nearly tarnished
The whites of my eyes
Rising against the darkest of times
I will cross your threshold no more

A La Carne * Undated

I need a reprieve
achievement is never far enough
for there is always on more mark
sparks fly when I look in your eyes
Blue rimmed and ready to start
Deep conversation, release of frustration
long walks in solace
the beginning of art
 market me
Streets beat the breath from me
I'm satisfied
but only when I sigh
realize
When death has come and nothing is left
but bones
souls roam
and all we've learned to call home
Is just another lifeteim

Locomotion Undated

Elliptical motion
retracting anything said but not seen
clearly enigmatic
drop dramatic
let's be real for a while
harlequin
masking the wrotting underbelly of society
standardize
the epitome of anarchy and suicide
dark circles under statue eyes
you and me are poetry in motion

Homegrown * Undated

A moment of pensive afterthought
looking down
the simile of a frown remains on her face
the traces of apathy etched in place
metabolize the downsizing of the capacity of her soul
she is unable to control the irony
she says to the fetus, it's you and me!
you are a metaphor of what you were meant to be
she's choking now
the vomit never makes it past her sulking mouth
she's a eulogy walking in fervent reverie
abstract thoughts for a stained glass body
she'd rather be dead than go through this again
they should take it all out next time they go in
she is broken
there is nothing left of her soul

Commonality * Undated

License to fall apart
Allowance to cry
The ability to shake our fist
At a non-committal style
Bargain at the bottom
It took us falling to find
Mimicry the best we had
Until we found the wings to fly
Our common ground is in our sorrow
Hope & love
Fear & peace

untitled/undated

the very routine of her movements made her beautiful
the rhythmic step and breath with which she moved kept her free
flowing,
always growing
watching in anticipation for the next space in which she'd find her feet
he said he could see the melody to which she moved
syncopated breath in time with an unheard beat
featuring these are the moments of my life
to exhibit with delight the process of her play
faces fade as strong hearts beat
and her feet keep shuffling free
dancing along a moment at a time
words tripping over tongue
like rocks are the wait of a waterfall
wonderful these prismatic lyrics seen running through her head
dread and strife are cyphened away
and the interplay of air and lung
sets her free

intention 8*14*9

strong medicine
jettison out past the breakers
shaking the premise of pretention
contending the postulation
defamation of character
where were you when i needed you
two definite possibilities
you and me
versus me alone
shone down a light so bright
yet I could not look away
the rays like a stasis held me tight
while white winter winds embraced me fully
pulling me toward the warm places of memory
back to you and me
and again i want more
pour down your rain
neglect me not
i cannot thrive without you

Spark 8*6*9

in between the independent lines of you and I
lays a synergetic empathetic commonality
pieces of puzzles like rubble line the floor
my feet choose to head for the door
and you only choose to snore

i breathe in deep and release
peace to the chassy of the ride that carries me
'cause you know it's not about the destination
it's all about the ride

Stay 8/13/09

Elemental
My judgement of self is fogging my mirror
As though breathing hard
Would serve to make things clearer
As though searing my skin in the shower
would all of my sins to melt away
as if staying true to self
is as easy as it seems
deem me necessary to provocative
enigmatic or proprietary
scary the things that i see on a daily basis
stasis: this rhythm that walks me onward
pondering the dark things unseen
my mom taught me to find the beauty in all
small though it may be in sum
it is the equation that the difference makes
take me apart and put me in order of my worth
searching for the beauty was easier in my youth
and if truth be told i've been sold
on the concept of ugliness of late
so bait accepted: hook, line and sinker
The sting lands so deep
I'm not sure I can stay

Since 4/13/11

I am a stock product markdown
A cricket karma meltdown
A sidedish to your wish list
You'd take the hit but rather miss this
I'm a triple thick milkshake
Involuntary earthquake
Pharmaceutical risk taker
Faking electronic devices three times over
I am a six leaf clover
No misnomer
Somewhat a loner
But not by choice
I am the still small voice in the darkness
Let me open up and show you where my spark is
Particles of nonsense breathe new life into
My darkness does not consume me
Please understand you should not assume things
I see the valleys and the mountains
Rising there inside you
I speak your existence into my future
If you'd just allow this
I'd be your heartache or your lover
Your flower of your dharma
Your dogmatic sense of infatuation
If only for an hour
Cuz I'm wall to wall
Hudson wide
Ripping shit apart from the inside
So don't patronize or criticize me
Reprimand or try to size me up
My cup runneth over
I'm about to get another so I can share this stuff
This sweet life elixir
Make you have to stick your head into the Ocean
Just so you can hear the sound
I'm profound like Creation
I'm a new wave sensation
The anticipation of a kiss yet to come
So run or walk beside me
Bring Light to those in hiding
I am widening the lane
Once called the Narrow Way
I penetrate your chakras
Do not dare try to mock this
I got kittens on my socks but not in my house
My fingers long to linger on that space
That no one sees
The one that brings you to your knees
I'm a free flowing Pisces
Open wide to my seas
I will let you in on a little secret
I am rising from my spot and
I'm about to let the World
See things we are all meant to see

Found Poetry Two: Won!

Martyr to mother
Nurture the smother
We touch the deep
Without steeping in what we find
Hide behind our breasts
Our chests breathe in the need
Freed if only we rise to speak
Weak but with the chance to be strong
Long walks in the summer sun
One being at a time

Found Poetry...Silencia

space age
(k)nightmares
Diminuendo down to a soft piano whisper
Haunting to the soul
Chilling to the bones
And you sit there crying
as the Sun goes down
With a pink hush on the horizon
And no to hear you scream

In Quiessence

I built upon the stars
The embers of my heart
Barn doors to cars
Every option on
We wander through our part
Like actors in our art
But all the waters part
When honest words are spoken
Broken places want
A safe place to call home
Alone is sometimes lonely
But me myself, I'm only
The one I know who has got me
No matter what state I'm in
The din of white noise surrounds me
So glad I've finally found me
This melodic line begins
As I rest
In quiessence

Chapter and Verse

Get me to the meat
This heat building at the
Base of my spine
Time married Tempo
My Kundalini begins to rise
Serpentine Power
But I wear no disguise
If you doubt what I am saying
Gaze into my eyes
Lies never server to mesmorize (me)
I would rather not know
Until I learn the truth
This image based nation
Soft serving our youth
Proof is in the pudding
Like a microwave Chef
How far we have to travel
Till there's nothing left?

We The People

So much being added to my
Wealth of knowledge
Plopped a thought on a plate
Sent me off to college
Wallowed in my bitterness
For a second or two
I resonate directly
When I speak to you
From this depth of experience
I utter truth
Whispers of Divinity
Indivisible Proof
"Loose lips sink ships"
Open minds build bricks
Setting solid foundations
For a brighter tomorrow
We stick to our purpose
Rise above our sorrow
We borrow against this stolen time
Pantomime our paraphrase
Individual rhyme
And together,
We shall rise

Listen In

59 & cloudy- I'm shouting
Is anybody listening?
This is what it's all about, see?
Vision
Drop derision
A house in division shall surely fail
Pails of water
Bailin' out my altar
I promise if I falter
I'll get right back up again
Tell a friend
I'll diminuendo down now
Honor every sound found
We are all in due process
Finding wisdom like a prophet
Profit from this eternal bliss
Is in the palm of your hand of power
This is the hour
Now devour every word
Turn around and scour
Every finest detail
America was born in the sale of retail
Set your sails and depart
Remember every breath
Equals the beating of your heart
Our drive or lack thereof
Is what sets us apart
Time to start listening
Song over sadness
Crack of dawn
Exit stage left from the madness
I strap my boots on
We wandered far from what had been
Sinning like there was no tomorrow
We borrow against paper
That means nothing at all
The Fall
Happens every day
Sway if you have to
Just listen to what I say....
