Still & Soundless

rivers slip past my raised glass
waves crash and flowers bloom
sun rises over a falling moon

a mountain beyond this horizon
shades of gray swirling in pink mist
a new day separates old ways like this

a love covered in brown eyes
literal rise in her every move, every stare
she stopped my every fear

and the motion holds me here
still and soundless surrounded
by noises and no definition, dumbfounded

i reach for her hand, to guide me there
along the rivers edge, my love won’t budge
as her paint leaves a smudge

i hold myself, in the clock
i created for myself, taking it off the shelf, broken walls
my heart becomes a waterfall.

It was like a dream. But not black and white, and I could see her face. vivid. a masterpiece. her voice. real talk.
a lot like love. full attention. given and received. like it was meant to be.
sparks and chills. a fire burning so bright darkness fears our connection. aware we are indeed connected.
life resurrected for the truth hidden behind the lines between the mystery inside.
i know what i know. its not a show. its not a fluke we are where we are. scared? not at all.

because its my time, on a watch i designed, yet been given time from a friend of mine.. she holds my heart and she knew before the start.

ORIGINAL POETRY: A Gray Matter

this frenzy
its not me
but the me
every one sees
me to be
so crazy
but indeed
its not me
holding me back
like a gray matter
of fact
no fiction
this friction
between
what you see
and what it is
what gives
for this fire
burns in me
concerns me
this frenzy
its all me
like the me
you see
reflecting
back
like a gray matter
of fact
been gone
and back
learned how to react
how to remain
in tact
no shame
in that
since
i am what i am
and that man
is a man
that stands
for all he can
like a gray matter
of fact
of life
lines rhymed
to sacrifice
my mind
for your heart
or a sign
your love
is surely mine
I’d be all
you look to find.

Check out his new project called “Stalk Perspective”:

ORIGINAL POETRY: “Presently…”

my passion
for disaster
faster
and faster
becoming
part of the past
a compassion
with no regret
for what has happened
which has made me
tamed me
creatively
with intentions
from the Lord above
i fit this position
like a glove
no resistance
for the change
i’m about to
undertake
for its all love
for the next step
in the walk
on the timeline
which i reside
i feel its time to grow
up.
