Lying, thinking

Last night

How to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirsty

And bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thing

And I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.


Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

it has always been easy
to get to my heart.
there is no other way of stating it.
the best poets are lovers,
are receptacles for pain,
joy, injustice
and the innocent smiles of children.

we read potential in the countless
faces
of evil,
we carry many, many wounds
we are often crippled yet some

he wanted to reach the stars
but got paralyzed by the fall
so he climbed the rope
tied to the crescent moon

photosynthesized moon beams
to bloom into a night flower
and ber fruit to his dreams
ripe and swollen

burst like cattails
showing more seeds than pomegranates
scatter like dandelions
to become the stars he couldn’t reach

To have to choose Pro-Life or Pro-Choice when
You’re too young to understand what either truly means.

All my life someone else has been raising me?
Or do I risk the nightmares; trying to find a lost baby, and
Waking up to my own screams?
I chose life.

and we tangle, still

whisper softly
in breathless song that
here is now,
forever is eternal, and
the tick of the clock between;
a myth

hills, verdant climbs and valleys,
have led me off course.
Fighting my way through the green,
I am cut by blades of grass.

It evolves from the soul of my feet.
Makes me sing, dance and move
to melodic rhythms.
It comes as music.
It keeps my spirit peaceful and
my mind at ease.
Makes me give thanks and say Amen.
It’s disguised as prayer.
I breathe in tune to each
play on words.
Each noun, adjective, each
and every verb and
it sounds like poetry to me.
