Forest

Filled with trees
and shadow,
myth and
dark rumor
of what was
and what might be
lurking behind, and between.

Get lost
if you dare,
in that roiling
morass
of
Possibility.

Or,
run back to the village,
and be comforted
and fattened by love ones-

The forest will be there,

Waiting.

RESOLVE

Keep on

Truckin’

Keep on

Keeping on

If at first you don’t succeed…

Bla-Bla-Bla

 

 

Why?

Why bother?

For whom?

For what?

 

When is enough

Enough?

 

When do you wait for joy to alight onto your forehead?

When do you stop chasing it with a match up your ass?

 

why the persistence?
why the stubbornness?

Resolve?
No.

 

Resolve-

love.

 

Keep at it kid,
SHE’s still conspiring
to get you
what you need.

Fucking Jesus

Eyes ajar,
Yet souls are shut.
Sweat glistened bodies
reaching towards
infinite disappointment.

Looking so far
To see inside.
A sexy two way mirror,
observing
you
observing.

Suddenly,
The voyeur is gone,
replaced
by the warrior.

Gripping
Pressing
Grinding
Pushing

There is nothing to see
There is nothing to feel
There is…

Fucking Jesus!

Wow!

Jesus!

Fuck!

now breathe.

Bedtime Thoughts on the eve of Spring

I close my eyes and everything
is crystal clear
technicolor sharpness,
Beautiful.
Is this life
        as it should be
lived?
Or is it a dream
of how life…
of that life i am meant to live?

steps

fall silently
onto the concrete.
echo the solitude-
honestly.
steps
lead you to
where you’ve been before.
lead you there
without.

Take
those steps,
no matter the rain.
Take
those steps,
no matter…..
Wounds all heals
is what they say.
lip service.
no?
but then how?
OK.

Pieces

pieces fall
one by one
out of your day
out of your head
through your heart
and onto the floor.

pieces of you that you need(ed)
pieces that you have forgotten…
pieces of you,
that are no longer yours.

you will be stronger, they say
you will be happier
you will be wiser….
better, stronger, faster-
I’ll settle for the six million,
and you may keep the drama

Peace,
where are you?

Waves

Minutes.
Hours.
Sometimes weeks:
It goes
It comes,
and just when you see land,
It’s not.
Just a mirage
and you know,
that there is so much more to go.
Cresting high in absolute ecstasy
Speeds you closer to troughs of turmoil.
“It’s all good, all part of the journey.” says the guru
Screw you, guru
I’ll take the ecstasy-
Weeks on end
of pure unadulterated bliss.
So,

Let it rain.
