Winter had arrived
after the rain…

The sounds of their footsteps
on the softened ground
travelled gently…
Beyond the window pane…

In bed…Half sleep,
with the fresh winter light
warmly caressing his face…
Softly kissing his lips…

The artist wished for a dream…

I wish that we could be together
But it looks like we're just getting colder 
I should probably put on my leather
Or maybe I should just write a letter

Love is pretty evil you should believe me
But I still leave my key under the rug
For the day that she comes home
Or the day that the sea rises up 
She knows that she has a place to go

I like the divorce myself in the drive that I have

God takes the test

and gives you rest

it will be the best he can offer

so later on, you suffer less

the body is prone to decay

and the death may have the sway

but nothing is taken away

without his wish and stays

you may recover soon

and come back with the boom

there is still room

Along the turf face, the marks of the sleán,

dry stacks to gather in.

Fuel to stave off the cruel winter about to come.

Beds

To some it's just a bed,

Somewhere to sleep in oblivion,

suspended animation,

when to the world we're dead.

But sometimes

it's something else

instead -

A magic carpet to take us on a ride,

through epics and adventures

we may learn what's hidden

inside.

A bed to some may be a task,

a domestic chore,

Something we make

Snakes don't kiss.

I know this because I used to be one,

in a former life,

long time ago,

biblically speaking.

Snakes don’t kiss cos their hiss gets in the way,

and that long long tongue you see with the V?

Gets all tangled when two snakes frenchie.

No, snakes don't kiss.

But never take a bet on it,

especially with a snake.

She soaked him up

Like water in a sponge.

Saturated

She went to a bar

Had casual sex

Got squeezed

Then went back for more.

Satre, Kerouac, Cohen

Horizons that exploded

In her small town mind.

They drank to forget the words

Made love in a fug of helpless hope.

Talked about marriage

"Why not? Why the fuck not?"

In an existential kind of way.

In the morning and peeks deeply
At the sun's beams through the window
The way she reads a talking mouth.

How a sixth grader reads a book.
Old papers hide in her basket

With her touch becomes piece of art
As she tears and folds the pages
Forming flowers, vases and doves.

I have a face

But it’s not my face

It’s a face with flawless skin

And I have eyes

But they're not my eyes

Lined in black

With upraised wings

And the glitter and gold above them

Is not mine either

Shimmering and throwing light

When I blink

And I smile

But it’s not my smile

A practiced smile framed with bright red lips

That are not mine either

Trees are so inspiring to me

Pillars of Nature, that live and breathe.

Have you seen Trees in the morning light ?

I never weary of that splendid sight.

Bark and branches dark and light

Sunlight contrasts them as day and night.

Winters starkness enhances delight

No distractions,  just , Trees and Light.

It was a B-26 Marauder that hit a mountain

We climbed up to the area nearby

Up a seemingly vertical dry waterfall

There was only a bit of metal at the bottom

The rest was hundreds of feet above 

We had to ascend a series of rock ledges

If you're not careful you can get lost in the woods of your mind.
My piece of advice would be to bring with you a guide.

Someone to hold your hand and walk you through.
So that if something is lurking you have someone to hold onto.

Make sure the person you bring is trustworthy.
That they'll stick around when it starts to get scary.

Not for me another love
like choking fear
It will not budge
I dare not blink
for it now seems

Mingling, dwindling, taking new forms
As if like mist they've risen suddenly
Clear, murky or grotesque figures
Each shadow has its own story

Want to believe what I hear

know a lot is not clear

from the mouth of a liar

On shaking ground

when all can not be compared

due to closed mouths 

of those too scared

to share their truth

The liar is loud

and proud

he causes others pain

pores down rain

on their heads

hopes to ...

A little thumping fist

Rhythmically pulsating

With one hand on your chest

Another on your knee crouched over

                                                            Running yet again

                                                            You look back but not front

                                                            A glimmer in the distance

Special wishes for the day that arises

the day that breaths fufilling hopes and suprises

resting in the spirit of giving and thanks

puts things into perspective cuz love desires no rank

take pride while we ride in unity

the days also giveth and taketh then they are through with me

they feed my sanity

up front with less scrutiny

my verbal words provide the truth in me

whenever i found out i was pregnant with you,
i was so happy and filled with love i could feel my heart literally melt...
whenever i found out i’d be losing you, and then i lost you,
that was the most painful thing my body and heart had ever felt...
you gave me the greatest joy, and also the greatest pain... 
you so quickly made me full of life, and then when i lost you, with you my life had ...

There were tears

Rolling down my face.

I never was a pretty crier,

So I looked away.

Heard your voice

Over my heavy breathing,

Crying harder when you said

You weren't leaving.

I hold tight to everything;

Knuckles white from my grip.

If I let go, even a little,

My whole world could slip.

I've been afraid, though,

To hold onto you.

My heart ga...

Image: Got a seat near the emergency exits on the main flight, much more leg room.

31.03.18 – 17) Bags packed ready to go taxi waitin’

No time for debatin’

Quicker than catchin’ a fast train,

I’m leavin’ on a jet plane

Flyin’ high in the sky like a bird on the wing,

Let those engines sing

An’ I’ll be found Texas bound

So now I’ve written this little rhyme

It’s get m...

More  than a reason, alive and new

You are so gracefully insane.

You are a thousand things.

As always and one more time

You just sit on the line.

Yet nothing is a big deal

And to be different,

So being in your madness 

And dreams that storms,

And those chunks of missing pieces

Your path meets,

But rarely crosses.

Such pretty things you said to me.

For all is ...

day the night

pain to happiness

alone in your arms

black, white

buds, blooms

rip, leap

3 hours

this heart feels it belongs to you

my sweet dreams.

Some gets it free,

and others to pay fee,

since they have to earn,

for their own life's spree.

Those who have pleasure,

remain busy in its measure,

unwilling to seek the value,

of colossal within treasure.

Those who really seek,

without getting bleak and weak,

are the real heroes,

who will eventually reach the peak!

Before my Eyes

the image came to life:

blue lava wails and flares its stifled tongue,

splenetic, sharp and surly-

licking waves which,

cresting ever higher,

catch upon the wind and rain-

crashing down upon

the sailors and the ships

and I can almost feel it,

the ocean’s spray upon my cheeks-

the tension rising

with the wave,

smotheri...

Whether it was going to an all boys' school,

Growing up in a religious subculture,

Having parents that didn't let you develop

Or provided no template for living

Say you are one of those guys that missed out

On intimacy in your teenage years

How do you ever recover?

Laying in bed lonely for all those nights.

Not even having dates with girls your age.

No girlfriend.

Rise and take breath of newly found freedom.

Rise and take breath as those weighted shackles are gone.

Chains made of the heavyest stone are broken lost to you now are you rise.

Finally there is light.

Finally there is air.

Finally you can breath.

Freedom has been granted and given freely.

It asks no payment only that you take this chance.

Finally there is a shift, a chance...

The Scientific Enlightenment came at no small cost

Imprisionment, blasphemy, books burnt, the Inquisition, internment  death

The Secular, Spiritual  Sceptical, Scientific spirit survived and slowly tamed Christian fundamentalisn.

Now, a new constant vigilance is the price we pay as unreformed superstition seeks to re-establish a new dark place in the west - truly it is difficult to f...

Not always easy me and mum

But sparks ignite loving hearts

And fire up a love that runs and runs

Firing true for my mum and me

Special relations mums and sons

As I’ve seen so clearly, with my own ones

Maybe too alike, maybe too different

Sparks just happened along the way 

Both too stubborn, both never to give in

But the clashes only stood out, because really so few

Hi Im parker a hopeless romantic
Ive been single forever but i dont panic
I have so many goals i need to manage
So i smoke weed and go on drug binges to stay average
Because i noticed im being to passive
Why am i so alone
Is it because im always home
I try new smiles
Create new styles just for the
Lovely ladys that catch my heart
But when she see i want to be more then friends
She stops...

A Taste of Hell!!!

Where does self-respect sit

In the minds of those who weep

For a burglar –without guts- who

Into a pensioners house did creep

His motive –with an accomplice- was

To brow-beat, so they could steal

From an O.A.P. and his disabled wife;

Such a deed has No-Manly appeal

Through fear for his sickly wife

That pensioner retaliated – thinking ...

These thoughts that run through every crevice of my mind. The harmful things that touch and ruin the most precious moments, I can’t stop them. The bad that always overtakes the good. The evil that somehow breaks everything that I once loved. Society has broken my view of perfection. Not only my view of perfection, but it has broken me. Into millions of pieces that will never be able to join back t...

Sabotage
It came from out 
Of somewhere...
A place deep within
You, never let you 
Settle in with the thought
Of us being close friends
Every laugh, every tear,
Every wrinkled brow, every smile
Never fully developed, always stopped Before it matured 
Because you never felt
The authenticity of any of it
How can I realistically
Have a rapport with you
This affinity is bogus
What bond?...

I board the plane at Budapest; please fly me back to where my heart is.

OCD has followed me, nowhere to be seen during my trip then it sneaks into my backpack, managing to get through security and boarding pass checks. Surely not I ask myself, what has triggered all this hell?

“2hrs 50mins flight time” the pilot announces till the plane is back on land and I just sit with my head in my hands...

Tight embraces were never my thing. 

I hugged you, you smelled of regret and heartbreak. 

You smelled so good and somehow the smell made my eyes start to water. 

As I was walking away I almost felt like I was helpless. 

I’ve become trapped; 

Within your smell, I was helpless.

I have broken my own heart tonight

Crawling from a torture well and into a deadly flight

I lost control and took a life

I have broken my own heart tonight.

There's one person whos always stuck by me

Through until the end

They have taught me what it means

To be human

What it means

To be loved

They have shown me the way

Let me catch the world in their lense

Told me the hard truth

But i always needed to hear it

They show me who is important

Who is necessary

And what i deserve

“The world is too much,...

He was fine until this day
But never knew it would have pay
All his happiness and plan to saved
All his joy will end up grey

Days that he would commit with
Plans that he could have submitted
Now his face looks drown
On the other side of sea of sound
With no one else to be with
With no one else to clear it

He may seem so normal
Act like everybody else
But deep inside
His heart...
