>Forest of My Mind<
I feel as if I am in a bubble that holds my mind and spirit outwardly from my body. Looking within I see the emotions churn and broil. Roasting away under the heat aggression of anger and rage, the emotions slowly dry, crumbling to the dust of regret and wasted effort. Inward, searching the crevices’…
Tipi’s Tap Tap
The fingers go tit tat tap, Up and down inky keys, Tipi’s tapping typing, Strokes punctuated by a bright tap, Kaching, bell rung onto next lines, Stationary fed through cranking wheels, Tip tap tip tap keys fall, Stroking away, as ink dries, Leaving beautiful words behind.
Sea Stories: A Surprise Visit
It was a random port off the coast of FL, I met my uncle with my leave chit in hand, a day of liberty for he and I to make up for lost years. We sat on his couch watching “The Mummy” enjoying pizza. I cherish that sea story.
Another Life
Lost a life, Gained life, Lost more life, Gained life. Lost another life, This time had to buckle down, Hit hard in the gut, Change a Demon, Eyes glowing yellow, Red dots of hell inside, Mind lost control, Body in chaos, Heart crashing overboard, Gripping the hull, Watching shore develop, Dreams abound, A life yet…

People, Prophets, Killer Clowns, and Cyclist.
People bow down to the wisdom, Great intelligence bestowed on their godless, Prophets who climb high the circus tent, Shouting out their commands as whips fall, Whack, whack, whack, smacking the sad Clown, On the poor old derriere, Out comes the knife, giving chase to the Prophet on the cycle, Pedaling his way in circular…
No Belonging
Here I am, Sitting here listening, Hypocrisy, The basis for the beginning and middle of my life, Christianity hysterity, All law, no love, All sin, no pleasure, All hate, no embracure, Never loved, never once, Always judged, Was I, I didn’t walk away, I never belonged.
Stuck
Time a ropes slope to a horizontal line equaling infinity, Tripping down the path of everlasting jaw breakers, Break, break apart, Break, break apart, Digging deep inside, pulling the feelings out, Sherlocks glass spending eons perceptualizing the emotional fragility held inside, of me, Inside, Inside of me, In me, Eating away inside of me, Twisting,…
