There is a place I go
Where no one else knows
Because I am the only
One
Who holds
The key
To its extraordinary
Doors

That
Petri dish
You reside in

Be very considerate
Of

And
What
You let into
It

Tea Party
Everyone’s cup of of tea

About Time
There are certain things I do
And
Many things I don't
And I won't compromise
Any longer
At some point
One needs to draw a line
Not in the sand
But carved into concrete
It is what it is
Good thing
It only took me 29 years
To figure this out

Lose Your Self
Eminem said it best
“You better lose yourself
In the music
The moment
You own it
You better never let it go”
~ Lose Your Self ~
Get Lost
Don’t go
In search of your self
You already know who you are
Lose your self
Instead
~ Get Lost ~
The Girl
The girl
Ran around the world
In search of her self
Little did she know
That what she sought most
She always held
In the palm of her hand

Peace Of Mind
Let's keep things
Very very simple
At the end of the day
When you lay down your head
Ask yourself
One
Question
Did I give my very best
To the task at hand?
If you are able to say
Yes
Go to bed
Wake up
And do it again
If not
Keep asking until
One day
You are able to rest
Having said
Yes
~ Peace Of Mind ~
An Interview With A Famous Actor
I will never forget what he said
“I miss that character
I was a happy man
While we made that film
For six months
Because
I was a man on my own island
I was a happy man”
~ An Interview With A Famous Actor ~
This Morning Life Came To Me And Said
Life came to me this morning and exclaimed
Here I am
Whole
Unbroken
And
Full
And there is no need to make me into anything else
Than what I already am

Do One Thing
Hummingbirds hum
Bees buzz

Dull Ache
You must remember how you feel right now
The dull ache of having left everything on the table
The pain and desperation and
How you never ever want to feel this way again

Inside my head

On Excitement
I don’t get excited like I used to
The excitement of my youth
Has sobered
As I’ve grown older
With most things
But still
Yes still
When I catch a fish
I’m excited as a kid

Teenage Asses
A young girl
Posts a photo of her ass on Instagram
And overnight
Becomes a social media
Sensation
This is the society in which our children
Are grown
Where the modern day hero is defined
By the admiration of masses
With more care for butt cracks
Than craft
~ Teenage Asses ~
Running The Ultimate Expression Of Freedom
Do you remember running through the hallways as a child?
Perhaps in socks or bare feet
How fast you felt as the walls flashed past
Sprinting
Running
Effortlessly
"No running in the halls!"
Some authoritarian would yell out
I would go back there in an instant
A flash
Yes
10 year old me
Running
Racing
Flying
Gliding
Sliding
Drifting into corners
Frictioning around bends.
Static rising from my feet
Running for the sake of running
And having said
“I ran as a fast as I can”
~ Running The Ultimate Expression Of Freedom ~
On Wasted Time
Contrary to what is said
I am full of regret
For having left
So much of life
Unlived
The greatest if…
Is if…
I was able
To take back
All that time
Left blatantly
Wasted
On the table
If I was able…
If I was able…
I would take it all back
And begin again
But I can’t
I can’t
You can’t
But I can
You can
Begin again
Right
Now
Today
If you are able…
If you are able…
To see what life remains
On the table
