As I laid sprawled out on the park bench one summers afternoon
She sat there pleased to be away from the human bustle
I knew her, not for long but i knew her
Through the slats of the park bench her little boy showed me the clover flower
he had picked from the lawn
He hung it over one of the slats to show me it in wonder
I saw what he saw and through his eyes I became a born again child.

Out of the darkness does bring
Those hazy midsummer dreams
Where the river turns land into mud
Hearing our names in an echo
Dreaming under your purple moon
Without no fires or stars ablaze
Dimly lighting the mountain stones
Slowly crescent around a misty pond
The stilling silence that you bring
Dreaming under your purple moon
Letting go all my heavy weight
Flying like a lightening bug
Dancing in your light forevermore
Smiling at all the tranquility
Dreaming under your purple moon

Anger
Depression
What’s In your mind
I need to know
Get out of mine
Do you feel the same
Hope so, don’t think so
Smiling and laughing on face book
Why so much to me
Why so one sided
The age the stature
The looks
The body
My performance
Phantom phone and text
In my mind it excites
Back to reality
Gone
Never coming back
Phone deadly silent
I need
Wait for days
I don’t need
I’m still waiting
Please come back
Where are you
My reflection
No end in sight

Can I just hug the world please?
Some days the world hands you a slice of magic, and if nothing else comes from that it's okay.
To be able to hold onto that for a moment is worth it.

How can I make this up to you
An old woman called Gaia
I took from you all I pleased
More a robber than messiah
Finding a field full of treasure
A drink from your fresh brook
From the nectar of your bees
The honey made of your flowers
I washed in your cold streams
I dug into your fertile earth
Planting a vineyard of pleasure
I caught fish and trapped game
Cooking them over an open fire
I nourished my body, soul, and mind
Never once did I pay for a thing
Because you were everything to me
Everything I would ever need
Now I look back and wonder
Whatever happened to my plunder
For now it is my turn as well
To give back as well I can
But there is nothing left asunder
Just a life that has perished
When all such life so flourished
Now only the orange smoke haze
Drifts over darkened charred remains

When God looks down upon me, just what does He see?...
A man that is righteous,...or at least tries to be?...
Or does He see things that I can’t imagine?...
I simply can’t fathom,....The Master’s reactions...
He’s said “In My Father’s house, there are many mansions”...
Imagine the compassion our Dear Father has fashioned...
It’s tragic for all those that do feel abandoned...
I’ll bet my sad life, ....there are no bad cabins...
There are those that will wonder why I write what is right...
Some will think I have no right to write light...
Few will still gaze at the truth with delight...
I’ll fight to the end,.... with all of my might...
I could choose to continue, but what would that do?...
Confuse the few that seem to know...”It’s not true”...
For those unsure of what to believe...
Just follow your heart,...pray you’re not deceived...
Now let’s go back to the top of this poem...
Would you reconsider......the words that I’ve sown?...
Or will you continue that tone that you own?...
God loves you beyond what you think He has shown.....

A giant black caterpillar
With the haunting orange spot in the middle
As if dressed for a Halloween party
Expanding and contracting
To its internal drumming beat
May never finish crossing the road.
Where is he headed anyway?
Things get blown out of proportion
When you focus on them long enough
A tiny drop under the microscope
Reveals bugs and creatures of all kinds
Not seen by a naked eye
Dive deeper and you can see cells
Dive even deeper...
You may drown and never finish exploring
Or take another path instead
And imagine things that never existed
Wandering in the enchanted forests of your dreams

I find myself in this same old place
Feeling way old my usual space
Been here before almost all of my life
Thinking what ifs and feeling like mice
Deadly that silence lurking by shadows
Creeps closer and closer knight arming the gallows
Quiet all around, echo in place
She sounds bright siren sets thunder bolts grace
Voice through void hear pitch clear my love my baby
Accepting my fate, the risk I had to take maybe
Moments with you a martyr lay wait
Can nothing a pedestal I make
Holding with might, the night forsake
Feeling no warmth, a fear I hate
Toughing cold haste still see by blur
Truth sinking feeling abandoned by her
Now all that is left is odor heaven scent
A waking nightmare, tear locked eyes ever bent
Sitting and staring most of time
Pain through the window false whish for my sign
Drops of pure light slice thought face key, memory smile fill, shimmer of three
Avoiding green stew anger to follow stabbing my gut another to be
Spinning in circles loop pity forever
Infinite sadness thick chocking despair disables together
Need to escape unable to move lost in self-doubt, man fits bill
Cornered by loneliness trapped by worlds no sign will
Locked universal a partner be
Hurt waves break tide she is set free
No need to pretend a love once me
Knowing full well you were taking the key
Often, I wonder life probability seen
Patient I delay stepping in stars beam
Scatter and fall light actors final play
I hope one day another might stray
Feeding my love, I will give it away
Not to long now I rock and sway
Whispers lips close soft get near
Transfixed by her gaze kiss tilted neck here
Moving as one unable to fake
I say night mantra, miss you and need you forever future soul mate

Easy going
Warm wind blowing
Carrying me
Getting lost in a meadow
Grasshoppers jumping, flowers bowing
Greeting me
Sun shining
Bees buzzing, birds singing
For me
Dancing, swinging
A rainbow of pencils
From the blue skies falling at me
I keep reaching out and catching pencils
To draw the picture
Of a summer day
