agreeably weird

thing coincide
some thing don't
as it is their right
as it is not
as if they prefer not
as if they prefer to
they do not to cancel errands
they do to cancel to candle errands
that is not the vitality of having a decision in your mind

I Have Come This Day

I've come to be your armor!

 I want to be your guide!

 No longer just a farmer.
You do not have to hide!

I've come this day to fight for you,
While others run away!
I've come to see this battle...

The Not New Song

It is a die that makes me die,
And my hair I cannot dye,
Allow white,
For the Typhoon centred eye,
For the years that gradually weigh,
And seems right.

More and more, per Spring
Which has lost verbality,
Fighting in a rainbow ring,
Hoping...

The lonely man of 65.

A lonely man like me of 65. 

At 65, I learned the truth: the Friday night charades with you and the beauty queens with clear skin smiles only make me sit for a while. The knock on the door that never comes, and the girls with names I can't...

Embrace the Light: A Guide to Well-Being

Among life's vast winding sea,
Hold onto joy, let sorrows flee.
Breathe in deep, let go of fears,
Embrace the now then dry your tears.

Seek the light in each new dawn,
Within nature's beauty, be reborn.
Find the calm in the sunset's glow,
...

Sticker Tale

A sticker travels with the wind,
Will it land on the proper skin?
Will it acquire essence and consciousness?
Is this what I seek or am I the prey?

Times pass countable but non-counted,
Why should I measure the loss and every failure?
Should...

I Don't Understand Your Lemons

Life is complicated they said to my youth
And to me it seemed so far from truth
Given that I could live my life without even hardly trying.
I was implying that it was all a lie.
I so ignorantly denied.
Breath by breath I started to...

Nothing In Common (Chapters 7 & 8) unedited

Chapter 7: Learning To Share

At St Thomas Of Villanova Grade School we learned how to share. We had shared desks, shared inkwells, shared coatrooms, and no individual lockers. Any valuables that we did have were out in the open and under the...

Rhyme rhyme.

Eat cardboard.

No, really.

I used to do it when I was severely mentally ill and depressed as fuck.

Nearly killed me, but I looked hot as...

DON'T

Don’t

Don’t look back,
Take the forward track,
There’s tragedies far worse.
In the news
Someone’s paid his dues,
Ending up in a hearse.

Don’t look down,
Get rid of that frown,
Fighting spirits emerge.
When compared,
To a problem...

Healing Faith...Step 2

Faith is a key to successfully working the second step. For some of us faith comes easily. For others, especially if we have experienced betrayal, it may be more difficult. Sometimes we must exhaust all of our own resources in trying to overcome...

Human Weakness

No more than sounds on the glass,
The rain insists and overcomes the broadcast,
So much pain to arrest the focus on,
To unfocus from the clearance of the sky.

No more than touching dusty gold,
No value understood from senses,
Please...
