no horizon

seas starved sky bleak

abyss where tubed monsters victims seek

thoughts like serpents

regrets black orcs

airless tides of fear where no one talks

scaly remorse

shoals of regrets

but no sane fisherfolk cast their nets

carnivorous,

my flotsam of shame

spins round whirlpools without a name

encased in lead

how can lungs breathe

a...

Every night I go to the dentist,

He's left the light on,

For me and the moths,

This kind of consideration is rare,

Like a happy medium,

Maybe it's exclusive to spiritual types,

Then again, maybe not.

It always strikes me how insane we are,

In our hopeful repetition,

We call it perserverance,

Like when a dog marks it's territory,

Is an accident,

Thinking tha...

Respect Women, he said

I remember my skin was tight coming in from the low of a Maine night

When she

When she

When she

When she

Discovered my claims of

I could walk better, I ain’t in pain

But she knew something other than how my words were arranged

it were the muscles in and around my mouth, sculpting my face

Or it was the bags under my eyes

She related to when ...

She had moonlight in her eyes

Starlight in her hair

Her smile became the sunrise

That burned away despair

She took me to the clouds

Weaved rainbows from the grey

And showed me all the colours

That life had on display

And under starry skies

Where galaxies unfold dreams

We ran into the cosmos

To find its hidden seams 

But I lost you to the star...

Dream tends to realize

If it is purposeful,

Flower tends to be pollinated

If it is honey-rich.

Land tends to be fertile

If it is irrigated,

Water tends to mirror

If it is translucent.

Song tends to be soothing

If it is melodious,

Script tends to be compelling

If it is story-lined.

Air tends to be breathable

If it is oxygenated,

Nig...

Dreams of uncertainty

Light up the unsuspecting mind

Floating through the abyss

Needing to be fed by the void inside.

Forming a strange pattern

The illusion once affixed

Veers through the twisted labyrinth

Setting a stage for the hopeful to fall all over.

The heat felt is roused

By this fleeting moment

Mistaking it to be existent

Till it plunges us into a...

Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
Who made this world so much more
Than it had been.

For each tiny change, 
If it took years, months or days, 
Was all part of the way
From nothing to everything,

So let's Give Praise to the world,
To all those who'd been here before
And maybe do one thing more
Because we share their dream

To make this world a better pla...

inside of you,

that constant voice

knows you better 

than anyone else.

she’s been there

when no one else was.

she knows she’ll never

steer you wrong.

she’ll direct you forward, 

& retract you 

from uncomfortable situations.

no matter if they say otherwise, 

listen to her.

friends know a side of you,

your lover knows another,

but she knows...

four walls

lying

thinking in the dark

four walls do not

make a room

a room needs a floor

and ceiling

four walls

a ceiling

and a floor

four walls with no door

can keep others out

but keep you in

a door

an invitation in

or

an exit out

try to decide

which is best

door or

no door

or roll ov...

woods filled with snow

I walked through woods

as they filled with snow

a winters walk to fill my lungs

with cold december chill

I came to a small rise

one that I did not know

where did this hill come from

how was I unaware

I looked for familiar sightings

but found none

nothing seemed identifiable

I walked to the edge of the hill

and p...

she'd faded to a cipher

a silhouette on the wall,

I took shelter in dreams

in my sleep I can recall

the girl she used to be

afore time did us part,

the question I pose is;

oh where is her heart?

no love fills her veins

smile a vague smear

harder than me, she

exploits the old fear

that she will leave me

like a thief in the night

my poor spiri...

Dreams play hide-and-seek,

Thoughts trying to catch my sleep

Caught, but nightmares creep.

The man in the mirror

No longer looks like me

His best years are behind him

There's nothing more to see 

His daughter is a woman

With family of her own

The years now seem to fade away

Into the bleak unknown

Although I'll keep on dreamin'

Of better things to come

Sometimes I feel like runnin' free

Into the rising sun

A slither of a silhouette 

Against a s...

Now that all my dreams are gone
There's nothing to do 
but carry on?
Dreams are as necessary to the mind
as blood is to the heart.
And what do we do if we are short of blood?
Surely I need a transfusion of dreams!

Flake by flake,

the winter freeze

embraces her flower seed…

Asleep…

Beneath a blanket of snow

freshly woven…

She awaits

the arrival of spring…

In tranquil hope, she dreams…

Her heart will soon thaw…

Uncaring…

Unable to love…

The grace of her simplicity,

fhe beauty of her fragility 

will flirt freely 

with every single breeze…

With every sin...

I may not have so many dreams as I once had,
Some have been taken
Some have collapsed.
Some blew away
Some would not stay
Some started well, then turned bad.

But 
There's a precious few that I can never lose, they go too deep, 
I'd still have them till my very end, even if I forget how to sleep.

I dream that I would never cause another harm
I dream that I will always try my best
I d...

Just for a moment think.
Just for a moment dream.
What if this world were different,
If it isn’t as it seems?

We are all of us children
grown up and making our own
way in the world
still children
for all of that.

We are all of us dreamers
woken up to our own
reality
still dreaming
for all of that.

We are all of us lovers
in love with making our own
love love
still loving
for all of that.

We are all of us seekers
stretching up to find our own
place in this world
still seeking
