For hollowed, for shallow, for narrow, for empty.
The fullfilled never undermine the lost gypsy sky.

Down Pour
I imagined for a moment that life was easy
that little things mattered but while lay broken, papers plummet and pile simultaneously
I am grief
Formed of discouragement, heartache & fallacy
the butterflies fluttered in my face
mocking my disposition
I will never fly or dance like they
I will never be free from these burdens
Your stares render me useless
Those stars have laid it out so that I may be kindred
with Atlas and Icarus
a challenge too big to ever overcome
A fashion inescapable
If this rain lasts,
If this storm continues
my world shall cease to exist
fading, closing, darkening, breathless
I am grief
In this moment
life means compromise either i make
or i fail to understand
the peaks and valleys
this storm shall not conquer me
but how long shall i continue to fool myself?
Acquaintance
Wise trees, I long to hear your ancient voice I envy your view
I mourn your death commiserating with your grand-children's grandchildren
their ancestors bow in fields and rise in thickets
Touching clouds holding deep to earth teach me this grace with which you sway
I saw a stranger standing among the yards of bamboo
We were rejoicing your wisdom, praising your grace
God has left his message in you
We watched each other's distance with gleam and esteem
your confidence initiates our awakening
Reluctant confidence invades his conscious as
He wandered nearer to your source and my position
A soul for spirits of congruent visions
I let him learn my purpose allowing precious essence to spill with each dew drop
Acknowledging the affair of stars which crossed the lovers
while we danced upon your canopy, how i admire thee
And the life which now tumbles and roars in my womb spreading your embrace
I found all i need hidden the nest of you, Grace.

Never Forget( you are memorable)
June 27, 2004
A popcorn sky, decorated in white
Laying on your backside
What thoughts are running through your mind?
Stirring away as atop you climb
Guilt ridden sullen with despair
A hot wind whispering in your ear
May I have this dance?
A hand reaches out to capitalize on a moment lost
Invading your castle there’s nobody guarding it
Morals have abandoned you
Too eager to think things through
Too late to retreat now
Your ship is sinking there are no coast guards around
A popcorn sky whirls as blades turn above
Help oh lord, forgive me of my sins
In these final moments of innocence the night comes too quickly
Closing your eyes you lie back and try to forget it
When the troops implode the walls and storm into your beloved home
You are rendered helpless, no men of armed force
Comforted only by the buzzing of nature
Still singing their songs of glory
Lost in hopeless hate
Drowning in words promised to your elders
Life comes roaring down
Lightning flashing on the shadows on the walls
When those gates collapse
You never envisioned dying to be like this
Sharp pains render your body stiff
When you are awaken to hear
“Lift your head”, you feel ashamed at the state they have found you in
No heroes live here, only me a poor lost soul who
Felt as though they had found security
False homes, false memories, never trusted again
This all happened so fast, and the last thing to see before I sleep
Popcorn skies accompanied in white embrace me.
