Some people don’t
Deserve an apology
But we do it anyway
To take the higher road
Even when we’ve been
Wronged perhaps to
Walk away with a
Better version in our
Hearts for the way
It all went down
If to be the one that
Seeks higher ground
To forgive and find
The supreme road
To morality how can
We feel good if we don’t
How can we move
Forward when others won’t?
Some people may not
Deserve an apology
In our eyes but we do it
Anyway to liberate
Our own demise

Mesmerized I emulate
The motion of wild horses
I am reminded of the wind
Catching the best of my
Beginnings along the fold
Of terra and the line of
Sublime earth and grass
We pass through the
Flickering memories
Telling the story of what
Places we have yet to
Recall and to behold
Until tomorrow comes
We look back on the ones
We could be alone at last
We could share a bed
Mesmerized I emulate that
Pattern with your breath

It takes a minute
To get over it
It takes a minute
Even to process it
It takes a minute
To realize
What just happened
It takes a minute
To know all will be okay
It takes a minute
To trust that there’s a way
It takes a minute
To fall asleep
For the next day

I need a lullaby
I’m doing this alone
Even with the ones that love me
Even with a telephone
I need a rocking chair
I’m doing this alone
What once felt like achievement
Becomes a lonely home
I need a lullaby
With soft melodies about
Traveling through the air
Fingertips run ‘bout my hairs
Could I be comforted by and by
With your hands upon my face
Wipe the tears which soon
Shall trace themselves along
My rose hot cheeks
I need a lullaby
A shoulder on to cry
Would you like to settle down
Beside the fire with me now
I’ve chopped some wood
My heart is good
And I’ll keep safe your
Darlin’ eyes
I need a lullaby be with me
By and by

Heaven rock me roll me
Fill my cup with love before me
May I beg for freedom from
The mayhem that is my life
Back to the shoulders of Jupiter
Glide we from the cruel asteroid’s
Hurling words and actions that
Surround the sounds ringing
Round the horizons of my mind
Each strike rings the bell that
Tolls the telling of an astral story
Stars and comets cry with joy
Give me Jupiter at home with
Rocks and sticks to build a grove
Thunderbolts clouds of smoke
Heliocentric heart beating apart
Spirit of the sky looking on into
What dawns upon us anew
Fondly loving nets of safe keeping
Beneath the twinkling lights hammock
I rest beneath you swinging wrapped
Within the tendrils of honoring
What wings of angels would then
Someday pair relationships to sing

When the sun goes down
Is there order beneath the chaos
From the running in the streets
What knife will carve the life
Out from your neck when the
Song that is sung for our elders
Is slit from the air, ripped from
The arms and hands of the
Jewels that are our brothers
And also our sisters these are our
Grandmothers and Grandfathers
It can all be stripped away
Beyond our control, reamed
Stand up for yourself and fall
For the sake of someone else’s
Pride to be the Queen I won’t
Kneel down to lazy dreams

Dismissed, unimportant feeling unwanted?
Interruptions brushing you off aren’t valid:
Devaluation roughly runs you through the thorns,
Time lost for morrow overwhelms even the youngest;
Moonchild rolling out beneath the gorgeous green,
In blue lit shadows that highlight ravine your curling lashes;
Though answers are both craved and plagued,
A most beautiful dark mystery is bubbling;
Watch as the equinox is shifting the serene,
As accusations could dissipate reactions;
Whether we land in pools of pitch or face the sun,
The hands of multi-universal clocks keep ticking:
So must we also stand to be existing woefully,
Defining what is not and what could also soon near be.

A loaded gun for loving certainly –
I could be doing more if up to me –
Parked outside is someone else’s car –
And my Transcendence.
I kiss the furry cheek of my dog,
My cat I cradle careful of his claws,
Work will ring the triangle quite soon,
To afford the cost of one door –
Sequestered are the dreams of cold hard floors,
Wood burning stove – Poppies blowing–
Tomorrow growing closer –
As the sun rises to remind us –
O callous road– We travel to hell –
But idealize the possibility of heaven –
A mineral crown, my meager appetite –
One feather – only windswept –
The musk in the air gives direction,
A crack in the mind opens conversation–
My tongue finds the roof of my mouth –
Saturated words – treasures of the earth–
Before the end – get me away – however
Long streams of dusk and dust
Carry me along at first cast of recognition
A Destiny of detrimental trust –

I had love on top of my head
And the bees were swarming
Light shines through my hair
Heart is swollen with gifts
Not sure where my mind is
I’m exiting a cave of darkness
I’ve been existing in for what
Feels like a lifetime and my
Eyes are blinded by golden
Piercing rays I have love on top
Of my head and the bees
Will be swarming for days

No longer go on
No lingering on
Gliding towards the cliff
A romance with the edge
Could end the self torture
Eliminate the inability
To please them all
Eventually get over it
It feels so insurmountable
How many days are we
Counting waking up
On how many fingers
Is the blame numbered
Could’ve done it better
Didn’t do it right
The night before
The day before
Settle the score
Can’t turn back the clock
Wish I may, Wish I might
Lights go out tonight
No longer go on
No lingering on
No more waking up
Wishing that I didn’t
Just don’t wake up
At all no need to
Break the fall
Find my thick skin
Deathsong all night long
Deathsong calls the caw
Crawling away from
My insides want to
Erase all the feelings as
Though my existence is
Causing more harm
Than good one thing
Goes wrong it piles on
In a glorious chorus
The voice is crucified
Find my thick skin
Deathsong all night long
Deathsong lingering on
No longer go on like this
Death kiss death bliss
No more disappointing
No more vocally corroding
Those who listen
Peace from my mistakes
Stars that glisten
Breaks the fall
Releases it all
Sadness is still the
Purest form of suffocation
