Embrace Uncertainty
“Dragon Roots”
Scenarios
In playing we can create
Nearly any atmospheric
Thematic for imagining
Dear Friend,
Do you truly crave touch
By openly-shared feeling?
Or are your words merely
Forms of tempt-capturing?

“What do you want most for your body’s viewing?” he asked her.
“I want my insides to be contored again – for them to not be protruding. But when I try to influence this directly, the impact is still screaming,” she lamented, grieving.
Self-Correcting
How do I get my spinal chord to
Stop its inflammation-swelling?
It’s as if by its doing so it
Hopes to undo impinging
(Title of multiple applications)
Pure Honesty
I absolutely love my work, but
I’m dealing with spinal injuries

Performance Pressure: Dear Friend,
“I think we have this in common.”
Fight Or Flight
To be only human
And
Not judged for it
Defense Mechanisms
Instinctively, I must protect my prize as
Men have always left me compromised.
Muscle Tov
Migraine torsions as reward for work well done.
(Play on ” Mazel tov” congratulations!)
Incapacities
In mind and spirit’s tenacity
There has not been equality
No matter their ages limitations
Left me in frenzied devastation
Underlying Everything
“Honey, I am older than you…
Why you wanna be with me?”
Pain = Gain
“A fu**ed equation.”
Me Without You
I gave too much yesterday
For too little finance return
The day before gave to myself
And now my quadraceps burn
There’s little reconciliation in
Managing overcompensation
As yearning for the balance of
Heart and souls’ orchestration
Brown-Eyed Guys
They have always left me regretting
Whereas blue-eyed gifts dreaming
Summer 2016
I was breaking away for the first time
Staying often alone at parents’ house
Carefully opening wings in heat of sun
Wheelbarrow-spreading their shavings
I loved the feel of simple manual labor
Muscles flexing while tied with nature
In the evening I dyed my hair black
Put on makeup and went dancing
At Goth night after driving to S.F.
Along 280 scenic contrasting 101
I always loved going into The City
Lured by the underground hidden
Had my first and only meetup event
Proud of such brave disappointment
I was trying to break new ground to
Become something freshly different
Met my ex-fiance online during
Later strove to create our future
Sometimes it’s like I’m just spinning circles
All that time and effort looping atonement
Dear Alex,
“I ache for your eyes and the way you breathe.”

“For Love Of God” (Song)

“For love of God”
Man creates death
To fabricate his
Killing’s validity
But God did not

Compromised
If one proclaims that they are
Ordained as the Hand of God
Know they are devil-tongued
Convincing by half-truth lies
A Fear-Based Paradigm
Man had misunderstood
Meaning of leaving Eden
And since had killed anyone
Who opposed or challenged
The Cure For DisEase
For millennia the angels had been seeking a cure to heal humanity’s insanity.
Murder
“A great and endurant society relies upon the strength and protection of honor – not the scheming brutality of corruption.”
OutLaw Deceit
There is an untended menace
Infecting and corrupting man
No longer blame their targeted
Give justice by truth’s own hand
Three Suitors
One gave everything for his fame
Another simply rose easily up to it
But the third wanted none of it at all
Thus more worthy and better suited
You There
Who are you?
No one as yet
But not because you
Haven’t a Golden Get
But because your focus
Is external not internal
Thus you are
Still imaginary
Crazymaking
Half-truth
Insinuations
Masking
Lies
Attempting
Compromise

Honesty
Distorting
Reality
Corrupting
Sanity
Betraying
Fealty

The Cat’s Out Of The Bag
And then jumps right back into it!

One Day
She was sitting
Guarding valley
He came quietly
To sit alongside
She then slowly
Leaned into him
In that moment
They were One
Tectonics
Sometimes earth must fall to
Rise up again as a mountain
Lead
And
Follow
Trust
How to
Build it
