The Woman and The Bear

I had a dream...

I was walking in a corridor of high walls and ceilings
A voice led me to a wall, which opened and revealed
A woman with long red flowing hair
and she had an unrecognizable crystal face.

I was amazed at her beauty
purple robe,
chestnut wood panel walls
and ceilings

She lifted her hand and pointed
her finger behind me.
There stood a tall female bear
twice the height of me
gold and jewels over her head
Teeth glowing white
in her royal attire
full of power and strength....

I was lost with words
also trembling in fear
She was not friendly to me.

I was subconsciously self reflecting.

Who are you?

God of symbols and dreams?
A Friend from the past?
The Sun or The Moon?

Does it matter?

I am sharing my darkness to
anyone who listens..

Where do I go from here?

Who Are You?

Seems like its raining everyday
in every way
good intentions
and voices in my head
so I asked...
Who are you?

Seems like the clouds
rule the skies
because I am waiting
because I am undecided.

Voices from the edge of my bed
and from the stars
and in my dreams
and in the words of friends
and from strangers
and from the fallen leaves
in a summer's day.

No one knew I was listening
to keys and strokes
to signs and visions

so I asked...
Who are you?

Oh' God
My friend..

Who are you?

I came here to live
and I am not leaving here
so I can die.

Heavy rain on my skin
sun scorched
peel back and away
tear and bleed

I pray facing the sun
on the cloudiest and rainy days
some how, its rays penetrate
through the clouds and into my soul.

Who are you?

Why do you love me?

I am not worthy.

Paint The Town

Let's paint the town
run to places
spray cans in hand
paint on all the faces

statues be like

"Uh Uh"

I be like

"Yup"

All the lies
a friend can tell
All the truths
a friend can seek
just to break apart

selfish..

that's all I can say.

statues be like

"Uh Uh"

I be like

"Yup"

Your face
yellow now
marble and cold
no one to really hold.

Sad thing is.
You woke up like that.

Love Suicide

10 hours to 1
5 days to 50
all seem the same
all seem nifty
losing sense
and sensibility
seem seclusion
was a way,
found you
1 year ago today,
I lived and lost before -
then i saw you
purple carnations
a foot in the door

either I run away
or I stay
I would find a way
or I remain
can't seem to
but it seems to
work in ways
I can't seem to explain

We found a river in a desert place

The enemy searched
seeking to destroy
I find myself living,
unharmed and in joy

so simple - not caring anymore
I walked through the door

Love Suicide

go all in
or nothing at all.

I AM ONE

awake
and
self reflective
moving forward
with
no directive
I am like
no adjective
numb
in the waste up
obstructive


I had a dream

I hit the dog in between the eyes
because I felt unsafe
and I made it difficult
to heal the wounds of the attacker.

I made it run blindly
towards a wall
I made it cripple
and made it crawl

I am words
explicit
and
detail
oriented
I am clear
broken
and
in constant
reconstruction

I am words
unafraid
and
challenged
I am clear
warring against
the
constant
deconstruction

*****Pace like a broken record..

I am one

I am soft spoken

I am defensive

I am simple

Mad slick
with
verbal violence
why?

I am

I am

I am

The Promise of Death

I promise you
You will die

so we walk slowly
everything we do is vain
we are just passing time
and we worry about the next day
Why?

I promise you
You will die

Love is the only answer....

There Was This Thing

there was this thing
kind of lost
today my emotions so vague
Is this ok?

I can't cry
but I can run
I can't argue
but I can hide
I can't debate
but I can stare
into everything
city lights
window - scapes
looking at me
as I look at them
walk around in their flat
they will never know
how I feel.

there was this think
believing
you know faith?
seem to toss me
back into the deep
again and again
If He is
really a loving God
then I would
really feel safe.
