Twisted Dreams

Twisted funnies enraptured
With seduction in a tea cup.
Faux pas amidst enlightenment.
Scribble riddles crying out.

Mysterious values tipping the ship.
Chain reactions squeezed into
A perfect soliloquy to love,
Death, triumph and defeat.

Creative juices overflowing the glass.
Revolution of time and passing
Through to another dimension.
Fantastic claims and ingenious

Turns of heckling phrases.
Screams in the night echoing
Through dark alleys and into
Dumpsters. Ricocheting above

The unseemly revelation
That all is one and you are me.
Captured in hell and rescued
In heaven. Torment and release.

All joking aside, life is really
Pretty funny when you
Think about it. Crazy half-thoughts
Cascading down in waterfalls

Of painted words. Gagging on
The spoon of sugar dripping
With formaldehyde. Castor oil
Fills the swimming pool.

An Honest Day’s Work

Leaving, coming, staying put.
Going around the long way
Is sometimes worth doing.
Taking time to look at the scenery,

Even if the scenery is
The latest road construction.
Look at the men.
See their faces.

Think about what it takes for them
To do an honest days work,
To put food on the table,
To pay the doctor bill,

For their sick child at home,
Who is not covered by insurance
Because her father’s employer
Doesn’t think it’s important enough

To provide benefits
For his employees.
And when he has finished
At that job, he goes home,

Takes a shower, and then goes
To his other job as a janitor
At a local private business,
Trying to be friendly and polite

To all the employees
As they leave their only job
To go home to rest
And spend time with their families,

While he is just beginning
Several hours
Of emptying trash cans
And mopping floors.

Sometimes life just isn’t fair.

Stripped Mead

Stripped lip hip tip how
You create love apple
Angel step strike leave
Talent teach tarantula
Take rapture tingle
Tend teepee torch tick
Leap label lapel ladle
Able inside arrange
Order end leap like
Lord toward ice act it
Teak make mark meat
Peak peek peat prove
Louvre lewd too toad
Move maple morbid
Local lead tell mead

Revealed

Suffering escape try move on
Leave run trapped find me
Here alone weak demeaned
Hurting sad twisted pervert.

New redeemed love change
Cherished spoiled rotten
Sweet together team
Compliment work great.

Thinking imagine dream
Create inspired write
Poetry art brainstorm
Lift up the weak build.

Captivate power heal
Network total speak
Read publish blog
Books money heal.

Smoke Beneath

Smoke delight tried but you
Trite light organic sympathy
Loud real languid cuter if
Lantern even around triangle
Tipped slipped ripped captured
Stripes types conniption
Lift ripe rowdy rude soothed
Mood subdued who woo
Sue rue too moo abuse
Crude toad booed lewd
Stood might right bite white
Fight tight spite sight mic
Like strike bike hike Ike
Steam him hymn hummed
Summed thumbed bummed
Rum rift sift hit sit lit bit
Knit kit spit tit fit mitt wit
Slit death wreath beneath

Everything Always

Here now, but now there.
There and here and over there.
Then here, now here.
Then there, then here.

How are you then?
How did you get here now
When you were there now?
You are here and there then.

I am you and you are me.
We are me and we are you.
You are us.
I am us.

You are them.
They are you.
I am them.
They are me.

God is there now and then.
God is here and there now.
God is here and there then.
God is here now and then.

Who is God?
We are all part of God.
And God is all of us.
God is me and God is you.

But you are not God,
And I am not God.
God is us, but we are not him.
God is everything and everyone.
