Look at me.
What do you see?
That isn’t me.
Look again.
You see the man.
You don’t see what’s within.
Listen to my words.
Their call for accord.
A mask of sorts.
Listen to my meaning.
Its call for healing.

For everybody
Shout for joy! Tap your toes!
A savior has come to end our woes.
From out of the sky for all to see,
He came today – it was on TV.
Those who hide deep in their dark souls
Fear the order our savior restores.
But rejoice? […] Read the rest

Just a Feeling…Probably Unwarranted
If I don’t ask how am I supposed to find out?
By osmosis?
If we don’t talk about it how can we come to an understanding?
Through telepathy?
We have fun.
We approach intimacy.
But somewhere there’s a barrier we’ll eventually have to storm.
I’m more than […] Read the rest

Words Alone
No inspiration,
but plenty of rhyming words.
No oracle calling,
but plenty of mundane words.
And as long as they rhyme,
as long as the words are there.
I’ll keep writing in search of inspiration,
even when it isn’t there.

Speed of Thought
Triple speed in slow motion.
An abstract replay of things I can’t recall
but are hidden there
in a hide speed chase
through the labyrinth of consciousness.
On speed of light circuits.
Storing billions of bits of memory
hidden in here
in limitless […] Read the rest

We See
I try to keep telling you
about my feelings and my dreams.
But everything sounds hollow
and nothing is what it seems.
I can write about my love and loneliness.
I can write about my fears of death.
But hidden in my subconscious
is […] Read the rest

On Reality
Once upon a time.
On a dark and stormy night.
And other cliches that conjure
trying times
long ago.
In a fantasy world of my own devising,
I tilt at dangerous dragons
and serve the love of my lady.
When the present starts to […] Read the rest

What I’m Doing
Something is going on inside me.
Something I want to give in to.
A whisper of what I should be doing,
Not what I am doing.
Perceptions are changed within me.
Perceptions I need to live and do.
An actualization of what I should be […] Read the rest

A Soul’s Ascent
Thoughts are flying fast,
Past me and sometimes through me.
Images are a blur,
Brilliant and often unfathomable to me.
All are mine,
But I can’t hold on.
I grasp at everything.
I remember nothing.
Thoughts of summer days,
Harsh sunlight with unappreciated […] Read the rest

Almost
I’ve run out of things to say
Almost.
It’s time to be on my way
Almost.
Just one last word about what we’ve lost.
There is so much love around
And still war and violence abound.
There are so many higher emotions in man
