Creeper

What when all you allowed to stifle you

Exhales

Turns tail

And walks away with the stench of fraud hanging from its defeated bones

Might you then heave and gasp for the first time since your youth 

Breathe

You will

When what all you allowed saves you 

Dense

Within the deep green foliage 
I see colors promising
To burst up through the day’s wreckage 
And say that all’s okay
But I’m telling you 
I tell myself
All they are 
Are liars

Unfolding

A notion arose
With the rain
The light
The flower petals each

The hope shone
Then on bird’s wing
On bee’s brow
On childrens’ wisdom hence

On truth’s dusk
Where with Autumn chill
With anguished pill
With hope debrided

Marionette 

Be my DJ baby 
Spin what you know slays me

Play no well-worn grooves
Compel all my moves

Latin if you please
Rock my world with ease
Soul will find its way
New Age and I may

Now -I don’t mean maybe
Be my DJ baby
