He died today
but really
Tomorrow.
We said
Goodbye
with such
Great sorrow.
No heart
could break
as much
as ours.
We sobbed
and
Sobbed
We knew
there would be
No tomorrow.

Tomorrow
February 28, 2017
I Cry, So I Cry
February 27, 2017
I feel the heaven and the lie
I know the answer I sigh
Nothing is respectful
Nor is it what I need to know
I cry
So I cry.
I see the heaven
I see the ocean’s die
I am part of the earth
Scotched, bleeding dry
That’s why, that’s when
I cry
So I cry

Hear The Heartache Cry
February 23, 2017
Hear
The heartache cry
Hear
It’s voice so sad and low
No one else
Can feel it’s loss
Only us
We do know.

Will I Show You Who I Am
February 15, 2017
Will I show you who I am
Will I reveal the face
I know I’ve been?
Will the lines of tomorrow
Be etched
Across my taunt skin?
Will the ones
That happened yesterday
Be still there
In a full or forced grin?
I don’t know the answer
Cause you see
I don’t know who I’ve been.

It’s Time The Master Said
February 11, 2017
It’s time the master said
To live without fear
Without dread
Back to the heart
That rises fine and true
Keeps the soul warm
Surrounding you.
It’s time the master said
Hold your head high
Reach to the sky
Make no one sad
Nor deny
The feelings you feel.
It’s time
It’s time the master said.

Waters Rush
February 3, 2017
Waters rush
Insanity a must
As the waves come
Crashing down.
No respite
No delight
Harrowing thunder
Is the sound.
Water courses
Forces all
To come with it
Or to drown.
Waters rush
Listen
Listen
To the sound.

When I See
January 23, 2017
When I see
The beauty
The realm that is you
That is me
Then I understand
How earth is made universally
No more hidden virtues
No more what if
I did that
All is clear
Rendered in a cohesive life
Like this
Like that.

Experience Life
January 17, 2017
Experience life
Experience joy
Watch the tide rise
The heart breathe
A pounding employed
See the birds fly
A mockingbird cry
Feel the wind blow
Above and beneath
The evening sky
No remorse employed
Regrets not even a few
All life is abound
With joyous blessings too.

The Answer Came To Me
January 13, 2017
The answer came to me
Not in a flash of light
Nor as a wave crashing in the night
That those past lives lived
Come to us in a way
So simple and so straight away
They come in our DNA.
We remember things gone by
And don’t know why
But the reason is
They are in our DNA.
Such as when you think
You’ve been here before
Think again
For you have been
It’s all written in your DNA.
They tell us what we need
What will make us pleased
It’s all there in our DNA.
When you think you’ve been
In this situation once again
It’s most likely true
The blueprints shows us
Thru and thru all that’s written
There in our DNA.
Why we laugh and grin
Why we cry and don’t know why
The answer is in no other place
It’s our saving grace
There within for eons…

How Do I Know
January 12, 2017How do I know
When to go
When to stay?
No one can
Tell me
At least not today.
Maybe tomorrow
When
Its another day.
Then I’ll know
When to go
When to stay.
