'all that is negative and injurious to your relationship is born of fear. fear births jealousy, fuels anger, and prompts harsh words. the most difficult times contain the greatest fear. if you would live in love, do not be afraid.'

Guaranteed
"On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, I ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So I can breathe...
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lives they say goodnight to wives they'll never know
A mind full of questions, and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes...
Don't come closer or I'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you...
Everyone I come across, in cages they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but I'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but I'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive...
Wind in my hair, I feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night I hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead...
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satellite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed"

launder
guilty
until
proven
innocent
someone
else's mistakes
remembered
and
relived
held against
myself
and
you
patterns
repeating
unspoken
in
time
only
seen
in
still pictures
replaying
in my mind
i
will
hold myself
and
you
accountable
for
the mistakes
of
another
i
will
condemn
us both
to
Hell
until
i
can....
forgive.
incomplete
in its
entirety
my absolution
is
lacking
complexity
and
depth
easier seen
as
redemption
mea culpa
unwavering
and
unholy
and
unending
not finished
in a single
act
or moment...
carried out
day to day
in a
karmic
rinse cycle.

"There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more"

straitjacket
clinically insane
morally deranged
wild-eyes search
for meaning...
looking in the wrong places
asking the wrong questions
staying inside the lines
inside the box
unable to wield the hammer
that will knock down all
of the preconceived notions of
what life is suppose to look like.
fighting against the system
while staying within the system
unable to break it
destroy it
holding it close
unable to let it go
using the tools of the master
to destroy the master's house
unable to see that
the best destruction
comes from surprise
use your own tools
make something alien

Lost
race
away from
the darkness -
madness -
consumerism -
capitalism -
greed, hunger, hate
deceit
self-denial
-inner strength-
worn down and diminished
by the want to have more
than you need.
more...
more...
more...
I die, You die
in a world that is already dead
having hung itself with
gluttony
lethargy
-Apathy-
have nothing
want nothing
lose nothing
only
the
Soul
will
remain.

green
cornucopian

transcend
time
leaving
an
expanse
filled
with
a
kaleidoscope
twirling
images
in my eye
rushing
past
thoughts
into
emptiness
the
quiet
liberated
unattached
mind
letting
each hue
each image
reflect
the
photograph
of my
conception
pass
and
continue
on
to create
and
imbue
new
imprints
onto
our
earth
