Poems

  • Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. - Marianne Williamson


    YES!  That is exactly what I was discussing with a friend.  Someone who was too afraid to even think of that beauty.  She felt it the same as me, the same as many people I am sure.


    That is just the thing I have been trying to explain or understand for so long now.  I can feel a coolness course through my veins when I think of it, when I visualize just how beautiful our LIFE ENERGY is.  Our potential.  I can see it and feel it yet, that feeling of unworthiness overcomes me again.  I AM determined to figure that out and harness it and then spread it far and wide.


    I AM getting closer.
    Sometimes I can feel it near.
    Other times I disguise it with fear,
    and jumbled, bumble noise.
    I can hear BEautiful music
    The sound of Heaven
    The vibration of Love.
    I hear it clear some days
    other days not.
    Darting hues,
    Glimmering spots.
    I see you too.
    All day, every day.
    I'm getting closer to what I AM
    and further from what I AM not!
    I am capable of BEing complete.


    I heard you whisper my name.


    I will grow grapes.
    My fruit will be sweet
    and abundant.
    In my season of rest
    I shall endure the bitter elements
    as my branches await
    the promised harvest.


     

  • It's not the time of the year to hear
    a Mother sobbing and lost
    and the mailman brings a holiday DNR order for your baby boy.
    No, this is the time of year for joy, hope, dreams.
    presents under the tree.
    But where does that come from when there is nowhere else to tug?
    How can you pretend to make it up,
    to sugar fluff and all that christmas time stuff,
    when a mother weeps for her son
    and one last time
    and what if's
    and what will I dos?
    What if the boy cries,
    "I can't breathe Mommy and I'm scared."
    and terror grips you awake
    in softly falling snow
    in the season of Miracles
    and freshly warmed sorrow.

    HOPE.
    It doesn't come on a rope

    And then another wave hits
    he's just a little boy.
    I love you Mother
    and I'm scared
    and we hate GOD
    for what he did
    for what he'll do.
    and it's christmas time, twinkly and bright
    but our heart is frozen blue.
    And a mother weeps for her baby son
    and wonders what to do.

  • I had the following crap disguised in a text document labeled "happy"  hmmmm.....I wonder where the happy went?


    Date unknown, though it could be today or yesterday or sometime last year or the year before and so on and so on......


     



    You took me long into the night.
    Held my head as I trembled,
    warmed me when I shivered.
    You did it then,
    I pretend you do it now.
    In my land of make-believe,
    Where love used to be
    so damn true.


    But today....


    I'm cold and I'm tired. 
    This is just the way
    I thought it would be,
    when I wasn't alone,
    and clouds changed
    their shapes from red
    to blue.


    I'll take my time,
    gather my life in pools.
    Fuck the rules.
    Imagine complete.
    Do what I need to do.


    Yet still,


    It's not safe here.
    I'm gurgling again,
    drowning in the memory of you.
    You're dancing on the shore
    as I struggle to breathe.
    I cannot live,
    will not stream.
    It's not a dream.
    This came true.


    Where were you when I called your name? 
    Water swirled black
    all around my face,
    promising death,
    where it's warm.
    Where it's true.
     
    I have no soul to bear,
    I left her there. 
    You came for me
    and I left her there,
    alone.
    Again.


    Water swirls my hair
    in a tangle of seaweed,
    and you stand there
    on the shore,
    unaware of this snare. 
    No way to help,
    no sound of despair.
    No care?


    Where were you when I swam the sea? 
    A million miles of forever
    right beneath me as you smiled
    from the shore. 
    I'm not going there anymore.
    Too many circles and stars
    have blinded my mind
    and I'm stranded,
    branded,
    hopelessly banded,
    alone.
    Again.


    Take me from here,
    let me lose my sight in glory,
    fireworks and bright lights.
    Bow in infinite story
    humbled in infinite gain.


    My soul is in pain.
    Nobody will cry if I die.
    They've all left me
    high and dry,
    alone.
    Again.

    I've gone somewhere sad
    and you're gone,
    and you are too,
    and you and you.
    And YOU!
    I'm too cold to feel
    your warmness,
    burst of light,
    or happy fluffaroo.


    There is no soul to creep through.
    Not here,
    in tangled seaweed
    swirls black.
    Oxygen lack
    sea.


    Where is there?
    Smiling on the shore.
    Warm and true.
    Lucky for you.
    Sucks for me.
    Makes no sense now
    and I don't know how,
    nor do I care.


    It's not fair.
    Yet there are worse.
    Where life gets bad
    and oh so sad.
    Forever.
    No sever.
    In your face.
    Crap.


    Why do humans do what we do?


    So who am I?


    I'll always cry.
    It's what I do.
    Feel sadness to the core.
    Swirling black and blue
    where bodies ache.
    Bruised with sweat,
    bloodied in rain,
    streaked with salty dew.
    Again.
    Again.
    And Again.


    No end


    I want to go where love grows complete.
    Stand there with my feet
    in the sand.
    I just want to go.
    And feel your hand.
    Absorb your flow.
    Soak up your dew.
    Release the stress of blue.
    It's what I want to do.
    I do.


    i do


    I DO!


     

  • Amplify my mind and hear
    the rattles of my cage. 
    I cannot stay contained. 
    I'll whirl out,
    and flutter around your head.
    Dance, delicate and soft.
    Melodious and true.
    Then you'll want to hold Me. 
    Touch Me.
    Taste my songs.
    Absorb my hue.
    I can't let you. 
    You'll rub the magic dust off my wings,
    and then go wash your hands.

  • Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on

    silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise

    and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.

    Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and

    trilling bolster his ego. -Jean Arp, artist and poet (1887-1948)

     

    For what to say and how to say it?  I've been without hope or clue.  So long now and I forget how to say I do or don't or can't or won't or anything not starting with blue.  Fast type over and over again, drowning in a pool of spew.  Not me, not you.  Not of this divine place but rather an empty space of nothingness and nothing new.

     

    I could try to spell it or speak it plain but then it would come back to haunt me again and that is not what I want to do.  Not to say I couldn't help and this and that or admit to being ruled by but and because.  It doesn't have to be true and I can start again and be stronger than before.  I know now the depths of crawling skin and shrunken heads.  Tossing in my bed of blue.  What to do?

     

    I feel the angels near.  I cursed them, stomped on them and pretended it wasn't true.  Where is my easy button now?  I'm too tired and beat and helpless and evil, yes evil, I think it almost is true, until the angels hold me and help me sleep and stop all the million things, rings and blah blah blues.  One thing at a time.  Something nice, anything calm.  Brush your hair and make your bed, pet a kitty long.  Neglect song.  It only works for so long until a tune finds it's way back in and you remember how it is to feel.  Where could it go and why should it be?  It isn't me, but it is.

     

    Fade to black.

    But I'll be back

    with more fodder and spew

    it's what I do

    though mostly to myself

    and the angels

    and the walls.

    screaming, seething and crying

    everywhere but here

    nowhere but time.

     

    I just type and go and write and trust the angels and spirit to help me through.....it's been a long, sad road and I am lonely on my way.  BUT, it doesn't have to be and tomorrow is going to be more than just another today.

     

    Stay tuned...

     

  • It won't matter what I say,
    what I do.
    It's all concrete now.


    Line space.


    Feels good to breathe.
    Somebody forgot how.


    So I say
    one day,
    yes I existed and how.


    Matters not.


    I've come to BElieve.


    Suppose you speak a word not.


    You have to feel.


    Back to the bone,
    remember where your train thought is.


    I'm out of sorts,
    yet not quite.
    I'm exactly where
    I choose to BE.


    Won't you please
    flow with me?


    What a fuck up I've become.
    Where are the rules?


    I choose to disbelieve.












  • FYI

    I am only as naive 
    as I choose to be.
    I only know 
    the things I want
    to know.
    The things I know, 
    I know well.
    If you thought me stupid,
    You can go to hell.

  • Spring has sprung and the daffodills hum with busy bees and love.
    It's only day two, and there is so much more to do,
    but I'm determined to win.
    Beans and radishes, beets and carrots.
    Peppers, tomatoes and trees.
    I'm alive when I grow.
    I thrive when I'm alive.
    The rain has quenched my head.
    Last week was two steps from dead.
    I'm clearing dead brush and planting a new crop of glow,
    just so you know....


    I never delete, I just go private and muse on my own.

  • What I need to learn most is FOCUs.
    I know what it means
    but still, I bounce
    A billion bubbles at once.

    Some truths ought to be told.
    But I get confused,
    when it comes to relevance
    or reason....
    because there are so many bubbles.
    So I touch on this and that
    but never get the fat,
    just the chubbier.


    It's about getting old
    not being told
    and remembering the happy stuff
    with an eraser.


    Yet, still I know you care
    I feel that were it hurts
    so perhaps, and just maybe
    I shall venture there soon
    I've made room
    and I can clean some more.
    I'm going to try to focus.


    I'm out of squares.

  • A Poem of Little Sense


    It's a different day,
    still it's all the same.


    I'm
    Too lazy to speak multiple words
    so I leave you contactions
    with an '.
    Enjoy.


    And ifff you can't add,
    I'll make it up to thee.
    I'll Spit a bunch  of words
    at one time.
    And they won't rhyme,


    Because I'm too lazy
    to not type apostrophe.


    editedX3


    P.S. Sometimes I start sentences with "And" just to piss you off!


    BE WELL. {X}



     

What?

I AM still paranoid,
though reasons changed.
I'm paranoid that they'll figure out the language
and patterns of
me,
and I'll forget to rea
r r
ange.

Then I'll just be textbook.
