Travel by
travel pass

travel fast

spewing fumes, oil and gas
tons of metal
plastic and glass

each one sharing
but individually

on its own path

I should be glad
one less notion to bother me
taking one

the choice of one
would pick and choose opportunity

apply to life

vibrant chrome, different colors and shapes

to dream

adore, ride

praise on

somewhere else
I should be

distance…

travels could take me

I can hear the roar of the day
the temp of the dawn
filled with cold blood
pig and cow skin
to bash upon

Self renaissance
is the only mission
I begin to fathom

strong-willed
so i`m up and at them

stubborn
so radiation
is the only thing
certain to change
gray matter atoms

in motion

staying in motion

but idle

robotic arm

orbit to a set circle

I’m set to boundaries

set to a certain me

using escapes to help refine…

redefine me
using the words

to illustrate the galaxy

fluency

data and info process

combine make up the

mundane of me

checks & balances

praying my present

doesn’t overcome me…

Somewhere in this clutter I call my life I hope to find what I’m searching and fighting for. Locked in my head yet I’m looking for the escape of reality. I am not dreaming; I am attempting to live…

5 – Second Time

Posted on by

after rest
blackout break
coming back in
I can’t see your face
the image of content
still wrapped
glimpse, make out movement
energy…
part of you wanting me
take my position
places pose
attain comfort
in linen cushion spring
looking up and close my lids
the still
silence silencing
system converting
to stand by…
suspend
with no restart
wait…
tingling, rising, tickling
smoothly putting points
sticking needles to my skin
lovers fingers or tongue
finding me
beckoning my attention
attempt position
pull closer
on top
peel and seek
rescue from ornate trappings
find, collect, leverage
unite, insight, compress…
release
two become one
motion to friction
verbs, whispering diction
breathing and muffled sounds
heart vessels
veins abound
spilling while losing…
bodies run aground

0 – Definition Of My Passion

Posted on by

I use a poem;

“A literary composition written with an intensity or beauty of language”

To seduce;

“entice into a desired state or position”

so you can be a part of and appreciate the love;

“A feeling of intense desire and attraction…the emotion of sex and romance”.

I have for art of romance;

“Ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people”

So that you can apply the same passion in your life.

“The physical, mental, and spiritual experiences that constitute existence”.

0 – Thinking Clearly Ahead

Posted on by

I close my eyes…


I breathe out…


I clear my thoughts.
Or at least I think I do.

Tormenting thoughts.
Creep slow.
I feel them gearing to get the best of me…

I play music in my background…

Undertaking to drain the devilish deducing…

They are beckoning me.
So loudly calling me…

Testing me…

Taunting me to lose my cool.
To yell and scream back at the bullshit.
The obstacles and adversaries.

How? Why?
Questions I ask on a daily regimen…
Is it worth the object which I pretend.
I need an ear…
I hope someone can lend…

I laugh at how.
I only take up this pen…
When I feel so close to reaching my rope’s end.

I focus…
I am in an attempt to leave all the negative…
Here on this page…

Take this life built cage…

To transform it into a catapulting stage…

0 – Your & My Ability

Posted on by

Funnel through me… purpose of my expected lifetime
slow through me… sometimes deny my bloodline
have to wait…

Finding me… comes in due time
soft inside, hardened outside
imploding, bleed and sell my soul

Melt… infuse myself like coal
getting old… found, shared and told
bought and sold, packed and shipped

Loved and forbidden… personal canvas
to paint my hidden
shears of life snip… cut my movie clip

whatsoever they reel at me…
no matter what they throw in front of me…
I won`t let it begin… To start stopping me

Make me slip, apply weight to my shoulder chip
can anyone tell me… what type of life is this?
it’s either escalator or pushed off cliff

Exciting progression downtrodden depressing
between is limbo… either don’t or do
when it comes down to it … only you

Trenching inside…
can find the ability to help you…

It’s so many times in life where we feel “beat up” and as if we can’t go on. This train of thought was derived from digging deep and overcoming any situation you have been placed in.

2 – Our Journey

Posted on by

Trying in the eyes of others. 

Make them see what could have been 

we work together. 

How we can surpass the end

what are the parts of me,

that are transformative for you….

that pop up like an allochthon,

misplaced yet always leaves a mark. 

Parts that are hurting us

yet growing me

Open mind open time

Plural or singular you are always mine

more will come with time

3 – So It Begins

Posted on by

So it begins…

HER:

The sun comes up, the world expands

As the sky brightens my path starts to dim.

There is no rhyme no reason

My chest tightens as I breathe in

I can’t.

My thoughts stop

I can’t do

My heart knocks

I can’t do this.

So it begins…

HIM:

Moon rises – Sun falls

Our world remains expanded

Even though you can walk in darkness

Light will always shine through

Build with what you have

Grow from within

You can do this

The goal is to do it again

5 – Inspector #9

Posted on by

I don’t carry a clipboard, pen or badge

self-appointed;

if it’s a career one can have

when I go in,

in-between the fence and doors

they let me in, turning on all the lights

I do inspections during the day

but highly prefer at night

the handbook I lay faith in

always leads me to the bottom

after my initial prolonged look around look over

Looking into the cracks of the establishment

I go through all the meat

I inspect, glove and probe if need be

I search all the folds to insure its clean

I ask management how is landscaping procured

manicure checked

if utensils are washed after every rotation

simple data per inspection

I ask for samples and a self-evaluation

I like the business to show confidence

even in frustration

weird positions, odd jobs and the turn over rate

if I don’t like the answers

I possibly check back at a later date

I search for hot zones, check boiling points

services offered

what it looks for in a lucrative relationship

I ask for future goals and employee aspirations

as I do my inspection

I don’t see nothing wrong with a one way conversation

I like to focus on the task at hand

fill my hands…

mouth and nostril glands

looking for the essence

and where we both stand

I have a job to do and I do it as I am.

6 – Hmmmm

Lyric :

Look at this,

I’m on your wall

Kinda strung out flexing, bending

Wearing your body out

………I’m speechless

My body language

has said more than my mouth

…..conversation seems endless,

but we got much more to say,

debate, but wait

I barely know your name

Absentee :

You shouldn’t have had let it happen

any rough seas… I navigate like a captain

I’m whats happening!

You had one too many and I took “full” advantage

from now on, I know you’ll be back …

held captive

my words, my style, my swag, that’s all it took

but you knew that’s not all I had

my name… it was just a second

all you had ta do was ask

and now your all tapped out…

empty glass!!

Lyric :

Naw I played drunk

I’ve always been in control,

I knew what I wanted

When I saw the way that you strolled

Into the room,

I’ve no need for the name

But I’d like to sing its tune,

I could tell you had rhythm

just not like this,

Who could have imagined

This night would end in such a body kiss

Absentee :

Its aiight…

tryna say I was the fool

its aiight…

Ima take it in strides

cuz I’m just dat cool

body kiss, body hold, body lock…

I heard you say stop…

talking bout control

I didn’t stop…

so ya body had ta fold…

but I’ll admit it was good.

cuz u was just dat hot

and ya body was just dat “cold”

Lyric :

Realize this isn’t the start,

it was the end from we began

I lived for this moment

it’s so good, I can’t pretend

but this moment is just one

an urge or fiend overdue,

from this moment forth

I’ve no interest in seeing you

not breathe you, not feel you,

not want you, not need you,

you were that

“just gotta have”

urge, the moment my eyes held you,

we sweat, we kissed, we’ve done all so grand

we’ll now part, but to let you know

you were a great one night stand.!

I like this one for the playful banter that it had. There are actually a few poems like this flirtatious, and cocky…

Loved working together.

9 – Rain On A Parade

As I sit…
as I watch
I reminisce of the pot
looking  in and tasting hot
members move in transition
making him a part of the generation
worth elation

I sit,
step back
to see there is so much more
so much to look for
forward for
help me forget
what I see
is not what I get
this is dreaming…

alternate lifetimes, alternate lifespans
another reality
more for him than for me
we see the dance floor move
see the dresses twirl
see tears turn to smiles
we are here for a while

 dried up make-up
stained dresses of satin
so much detail to the little things
they could file for a patent
still…
what is it I am here for
traveled so far for…

I don’t feel right…

The thoughts for this one came together as I was sitting at a wedding reception watching all the happenings go on . Relating it to my own life with a short time travel and coming back to the sights of the evening. In the midst of all the “happiness” I feed off…

9 – Not Having Enough

Posted on by

Broken Glass
 see how and why the world falls apart ?
all I know, is that I have my “know”
I have my heart, my mind, my spirit
how else am I supposed to get through this life, this instant.
I don’t know what to call what you have
but its all you have
you have twisted it, made it your vice
I acknowledge
you’ve made yourself unable to sleep at night
you can’t and wont let go
because it’s all you have in life
I don’t know how to help you get it right
even if I tell you there is a problem
you say im wrong
if you tell me the problem
and I dare to agree?..
im still wrong
really…
this can’t go on

I am not different or special when it comes to having downtimes or upsets in life. When we make the commitment to share this life with another person we sometimes have fights. We  have confrontations. This is a representation of what one of those unpleasant but real conversations anyone in long relationships will have. When one disagrees with the other or you find yourself in a cycle that needs to be broken. Well I have been there. I have written about it.  I’m moving on…

0 – Thoughts – 12

Posted on by

Stops… Hearts do every second
leaps and bounds; it calls and it beckons
life has so many lessons

to teach
so many souls out of our reach
imagine things we can do
with the things we put our mind to

love sometimes stays or goes
grows, fades, passes us by
wind blows, like winning blows
as river flows, time goes…

listening to the world around
loud crashes, breaks, and peaceful sounds
turn around to see and learn
wait… you will always get your turn
in the same order
history repeats itself…
common case disorder

some things fall into place
when & after tears roll down your face
what’s near, can be far
this you already know…

final thought…
everything changes…
thats life…

So to all of you who faithfully read and visit…

Writings labeled “Thoughts” – these usually come out of what I guess everyone calls “writers block” or not knowing what to write. I have found that even in this stage. You just need to write something , anything.

With that being said, the work that will be put into the “Thoughts” category will not be normal. They will be eccentric or a little off, according to standards…

As Always…
