strange

I find myself

enveloped in dreams lately

somehow searching for something

what

I can not discern

what can it mean?

what am I looking for?

it puzzles me

I keep on looking

but simply

why?

well here you are sitting on your throne not giving a damn about the people you're supposed to serve yet that doesn't bother you does it? people are dying on your watch and somehow it doesn't bother you you divide the people in your hatred really? you don't think at some point karma won't bite you i...

the autumn rains have started washing away the dust and heat of summer the leaves are changing color and life takes another turn sometimes for the best sometimes for the worst which happened this year? we will see but I do know this somehow it will continue it's a matter of perspective that falls in...

whispers of dreams

that reside within the heart

listen to those echoes

that whisper truth

which matters

yet find the honor

in the path you travel

reach your hand in friendship

to those that you meet

and given in time

may find a simple wisdom

that you may pass to all

To touch within the heart reaching through those echoes held within that loving cup where we see what we see in memories shall we keep that ballad rhythms set within harmony lyrics sung so sweetly yet in the distance celebrations of the heart as we touch in that open invitation echoes met within the...

I get out of the house occasionally why? I'm trying to keep from getting frustrated at my computer for some reason the internet glitches off and on at the most inconvenient times when one is trying to post something read something or you're watching something on Youtube that you're mesmerized at and...

I walk in Gilliam's grocery sit down with my backpack of books that I use in reference writing my poetry in a slow east Texas town order a hamburger for lunch listen to two grocery managers trading stories on how they deal with employees cackling between the two and I'm thinking.... so this is manag...

private whispers that reach within the mind where one hears that call touching deeply reaching into the soul echo after echo silent memories where somehow if one listens that meaning becomes clear but one has to listen and follow that path where life had purpose concise within that trail understandi...

running with the lions

where your heart

breathes freely

the red rage

where one hears the roar

of one

intoxicated of the spirit

where life smiles

that mark of time

intensity

where one looks in those eyes

saying..

there can only be

one king

silence within time where memories rise within the dawn and yet is those intricacies moments private that few see those bumps in the road where accidents happen and in that happening miracles find their way a once in a lifetime moment that shines like diamond leaving one thinking now that was intere...

dreams within those echoes

where silhouettes raise beyond the shadows

perceptions touch

inside those intuitions

where contemplations find certain needs

defining moments

minute by minute

realms of thought

within abstract principles

Yes...

we've amused ourselves to death

in this life of

possessions

things..

that we have to have

capitalism...

in its worst traits

and the sad thing

we all wanted

exactly...

what we could get

why?

our greed

funny thing

all the memories

still rage in my head

I can remember details

that happened when I was a kid

yet at the same time

struggle to remember

where I put things

two months ago

funny how that works

at not paying attention

to what one thinks

matters

here I am reaching for something I can not grasp yet the reality is right in front of me what is it that I'm not seeing? and why is that truth grinning like a Cheshire cat? mocking me at every forward step that I'm taking it feels like for every step that I take I fall two steps backwards and start ...

a breeze flows within the afternoon

where within that moment

life finds a way to make one smile

specific reasons matter not

only the memory kept

reflections touch within

echoes in the harmony

and life finds a way

to continue
