Thinking love and why it is the heart no longer moves into a bed of roses where buds are known to bloom into their eternal truth. It’s like a winter all year round where all is covered on the ground to prevent the coming out of love’s amazing grace. Perhaps the summer harsh and stark [...]

The shed of one’s true glory into the happenstance of life a prerequisite to forgetfulness yet the bough from which it came sways in the breeze of time and taps on window panes draped with essential veils. The veils are made to last and they keep the truth at bay like clouds on summer days [...]

Old days, old times, old faces, smiles, revolve in tandem in the mind and this at night when all is still except the drone of spirit will. I listen to that drone at night; ‘tis silent when the brain takes flight into the mix and blend of days that begat both pleasure and the pain. [...]

Today I am within this time where space is violated by crates of limitation stacked one upon the other in and around mind’s innocence. ‘tis the crates that keep the mind well and truly confined and there is no disgrace until the moment comes for clearing out the store of the implanted. Sometimes it’s done, [...]

I know I made a vow sometime before the lie but of vows they disappear when the circumstance of life overtakes and suffocates what was meant to be and substitutes a fallacy. I cannot say they’re fickle or simply do not care but rather that they’re fluid and seep between the gaps of determined ignorance [...]

Then unto the anguished there came a sense of peace but I know it can be shattered by misaligned perceptions created by a human mind. And that mind forward marches the soul into despair when the lines between the real/unreal are frail and delicate. I layer them; I do sometimes when love is fulsome, free [...]

It’s life that gathers moss and “stuff” and packs it all in plastic bags not sure if now’s the time or not to throw it all away. They sit in cupboards, nooks, crannies, and cause the overflow of past to crowd and suffocate the new like demons that askew the mind. And it takes a [...]

The truth of love comes trip-trip, tripping through the fields of turmoil and strife searching for daisies amongst the weeds and pebbles worn smooth by dedication. The sun beats down the heat of fatigue till night heralds in the shiver of fear but in the downpour of all obstacles the truth waits in a self-made [...]

Free and weightless floating there lost thoughts in me like breathing air dispatch desire and need to sky and draw me up like smoke from fire. Crushing blows and then dismay turn nights to days in life’s foray but love, illusive love, lays down its heart and soul into the ground. It should fight and [...]
