poetic fear
for justice, for the flag that unites all of mankind with retribution,
for liberty the facade of a utopian idealist,
for reasoning- dictates absurdity
its been a long time since the first time
a long time since the second-
it’s still not the end, but it makes more sense now

-all for one Immigrant portrait
they looked at me different since the day we landed here. When we left Tierra- we thought, that the robots would be the worst of our problems but the end of human history was writing itself action by action. How long did we wait before going off world. What was human history? -we’ve been across the universe and back just to see time fold on itself. Alien was what they called us, U S - we...

pathways
Holding the key to solve your problems can be a self defeating practice wandering lost at the beginning- your on a path that, its unseen destination, seems out of reach- two steps ahead of you lies the final quest the beckoning of the journey’s path is whispering in your subconscious.

reluctant moves
we didn’t stop we just didn’t resist
your yelling and we haven’t even started fighting
it’s built up all the things that have happened,
sorry,
it hurt your feelings and it’s not fair
for either of us evil is devious-
this is just another letter, just another attempt.
Waiting in hell for heaven is just a newcomers hope.
faith doesn’t guide me…
it blinds my...

Death
asked me the most important thing someone should know
this ultimate question about me-
some might rush to quickly point in a direction into nowhere where others might statically place themselves in a location.
Reference points are skewed, it’s observable, the universe is moving and the feeling does not escape, things are in perpetual movement.
To the person there is only one answer it...

my love letters are lost in Alaska,
all those times
gadgets go misplaced and my words take so long to reach you
will you come back-
can you ever journey to the subtropics
the heat is unbearable but your presence is desired
we make all the wrong choices being truthful
strategy tells me to avoid the flux of our love
when the ultimate love was sought
it is, was you-

by the way of lessons:
she taught me to be patient
she showed me passion and guided me in a violent manner
then remember when you were young-
she taught me humility and exploited my evils
legends are forever, sometimes forgetting is forever and forgiveness comes in the end
but in the new beginning
the moon was mine and my wild crazy thoughts swirled
exposed its light- the reflection was mine
she taught me to care for my...

past letters
and this is my parting letter
the words that will tell you the other place is (ok) for me
it’s important to say because we never wanted to stay-
the best gift was that of everything and everything is nothing all at once
fear was what they made me feel and others felt my wrath
take me home and let me show you who we could be when we don’t worry about anything and everything-
don’t...

pretty-
basically,
cleaning lost its meaning
and the world knows
it was close to godliness,
so we regress

all my love letters are mailed to Alaska
just- to ask her
come back to me
come and you can see
she can relax between all the cracks
please just ask her
in a
love letter to Alaska,
all the stamps mark my defeat
if only it was OK to cheat
not sure all my words were meant to be pure
not like filtered water
or canon fodder
she won’t forget at all
my love letters are mailed to Alaska
in the form...

harmonic resolve
fooling on hills
He’s a scared man
half way to being who he is
half way gone from where he came from and who he was
that’s the choice the ultimate joist
the hitch is made and its pull, is loaded
the person he had become had come to soon and just a bit late,
the duality of the good and the bad
grabbed a hold of his heart and drained its’ romance
and it is a confusing...

it's
like to have something you had no idea of.
The after reflection in pride, and shame.
With all admiration in the world ,
there is nothing like loyalty,
a gracious resolve, and a reservoir of hope.

body armor off, masks on
god of thought had a son
taken away,
his thoughts explored evils and goods
after much time apart
knowledge met wisdom
instigating with nature
death could come, around any corner
thought met the prodigal son
once again they met-
home again my son
ready to die
leave this shell of a body
it’s a proud day when
god’s son is ready to die

Animated Desires
it was useless to think-
He would dig up the dead with you-
visit a burial ground and extract the fluids from their bodies.
-ours’ will come out later, written in blood, our approbation will be felt,
and the dead have no place near the living, thebeing-
there’s a faint smell and it seems we’ve been here before,
when we dug up the dead, we were young
the bones had not yet broken...

-there is a grandmother, a mother that is not mine serving me food.
Taking away my hunger she tells me that it would be my death not to eat a proper meal.
Where my home is, no one feeds me no one takes care of me, and it’s by choice that my solitary confinement holds me captivated.
My thoughts wander, to justice, to liberty to man-
there must have been a need to come together, there must...

bubbles
lets revisit the topic
its circular duality of opposites
we can start off with a definition
following through only to redefine concepts
only static things are perfect
once again subscribe to the rule
there is no better there is only different
double trouble of a reality bubble
we desire reflection of who we are and are not

never jarred just scared the story started and
when things began choice was easy, and nothing could stand in the way of the green light, the will of power. And mistakes were made over and over new scenarios and many more layers of errors in terrors-
