He led me up the garden and we stopped at the garage door
There was nothing said between us but I heard the fire roar.

He grabbed me by my arm and threw me into the dark
The smell of smoke overwhelming then I could see the fiery spark.

His fabric began to

When I was a kid I found refuge in a tree
I wondered if the world was as confused as me.

Watching the birds sailing and ruling the air
Wishing I could soar through the sky with no care.

Then the sun would set and the moon would fight
To own the

 Metaphysically incomprehensible

   Soaring universally weightless


Amber Crimson Royale Blue

   Whatever color your soul is


Bursts of energy

   Dividing time through space

Crossing worldly realms

   Not exclusive to the human race


A symphony of fluid movement

Falling - Video

New bright dawns are appearing below
I can hear footsteps in the snow
Neurons vibrate at the speed of light
I can see with unlimited sight

Rainbows are appearing from deep dark holes
To illuminate life from pole to pole
Bullets insane tensified the night
To leave no lasting fright

I Made The Mistake...

I made the mistake
Of peering through your window

In that cold gray darkness 
I stole glimpses of silhouettes
Heap of blankets
piled
in one corner of the bed
Layers of worn clothes
draped
over the wingback
Canvases pristinely blank
leaned
against the wall

Memorably unfamiliar
I made

(Writing Is) Excavation Of The Soul

these words excavate
cracked foundations of pride ready to crumble under the slightest tremor of failure
worms inching their way across rotting motives
well-loved corpses of hidden fallacies

Yet it also unearths
A well of life for a  boy from a village in Uganda
overcrowded saplings of hope fighting for sun

Let the words come tumbling out from backstage
Unrehearsed as they may be
Metaphors awkwardly fumbling
Tripping past understanding
Let the young ones speak their minds
Crumpling scripts in defiance

Let the ones who’ve lived be
Let them have their silence

Cause its a long way to the front row
it’s along way here
so

Musical revolution

   The notes falling upwards

Lyrical evolution

  Beyond moving forward

Creativity breaching

  Stretching the imagination

Indirectly teaching

  Through rythyms fascination

Wisdom and innocence

  Breathed out in sweet tones

Soulful variance

  Meant for me alone.

Plucking at my

So i reached out to you
and what i got in return was a mess.
A freaking mess.
You say that you want me
tease me taunt me.
But when i'm denying love left
and right and right
now i need a
shot of Reality....

And how did we get here? When all is gone and the peace is no longer there. nowhere.  I asked for hope and got advice. I wished for truth and found more lies. Its not through spinning when all i ever think about is the same. The same.The same.  Help us begin find a start. but

Coal and ice in little tombs
with aching buds and winter blooms
poking through the freshly frozen rain.
Calling fortunes dreamt in fields of lace.

Fuel and frost in potters field
their differences long since revealed
recognize the lonely fleeting flame
darkened by the freshly frozen rain.

Stuck inside this prison cell
