Eternal Soulstice Eyes (a prayer for winter)

through the
grey cold
of the coming dark,
closed eyes
see
only wonder
and light.

 
lost in the emptiness of
the long nights,
i settle before
the scrubbed hearth,
lost in a reverie
of endless possibility.

the beauty of Spring,
Summer,
&
Autumn
all wrapped up
within,
feeding this
flame.

such beauty i feel.
such beauty and love.

 
come walk beside me,
in the fire of my soul,
and I will remind you of the wonders
within yours.

 
close your eyes.
let us warm ourselves
in the solitude of winter.

 

alphabet soup hustle

letters
and
words
are sacred to me.

 

I use them
to create.

 

I connect them
to release my hate.

 

I juggle them
to relate.

 

I dance with them
to sketch my fate.

 

 

I quilt them together
to kidnap you
for some brief moments of time
and,
when you are in the grasp
of my grandiloquent bombast,
I drown you
in MY worlds
of joy (and fear),
and ego.

 
I want you to smile
and,
I want you to weep.

I
want
you
to
like
me.

 

I value myself,
without your praise.

I love
me,
without your clicks.

money cometh
&
money leaveth,
but the soul
(my soul
&
yours too)
knows
true love when it reads it.

What I create may be crap,
but I promise,
I’ll never shit on a page
and try to sell you gold.
