Sight Unseen

four stars tonight in the sky I see
two bright and two not so bright,
none of the stars are close enough
to know each other very well and
far enough away not to compete;
they live in a universal void of
darkness both matter and energy,
stationary due to gravity's curves
that surround them constantly;
no one inhabits these stars nor do
want to be possessed by anyone,
living free and clear changes in
their all natural environments;
four stars in a galaxy of millions
have chosen to bare their faces
while all the rest remain hidden
for fear that to be seen is to one
day take away their freedom and
their autonomous rights of self
preservation in a universe that
is expanding into nothingness.

Awakened

fog obscures sight
no sky to admire
no clouds to imagine faces
no sun to protect against;
it is a transition day
that announces change
as blooms on bushes
step forward one last time
with their beauty
and pretend all is well,
their sacrifice expected
and the rumble tumbling
of sounds break the
morning silence hiding
behind the innocence
of a brand new day.

Peace of Mind

and when the summer days end

warmth remains in the South,
and when the rain begins to fall
we soon harvest what we can,
and when the snow blocks life
we continue our movements,
and when the skies turn black
we have perpetual blue horizons,
and when the leave fall off trees
we admire the dark greens of winter,
and when we drive around highways
we never have to pay a toll,
and when reasonable hates others
we seems to embrace diversity,
and when life seems to hectic
we dine at a reasonable pace,
life is not about a location but
a reassuring peace-of-mind.

Feminine Transformation

beneath the soft and gentle exterior             
of a hairless male body, lies the
repressed feminine feelings that
seldom are able to be released;
up and down his flat stomach his
hands and fingers slide effortlessly
along the silky skin as an imagination
takes him into an unknown world
of sexual sensations and desires
recklessly needing to be shared
but always contained like before;
palms and fingers probe the male
genitalia he wished were female
and beyond finds  the opening of
his animal but sensuous instincts
sliding in and out of the furnace;
relaxed and relieved, a silk robe
covered his sweat stained body,
closed eyes announces his
willing submission to the dark
side of his reluctance to publicly
admit his feminine transformation.

Setting Aside

bound by societal norms
and double standards,
we toy with unconventional
set aside expectations
rely on perceptions
see false as real
and real as truth
not caring who is right
as long as we get
that which is desired
but not needed
since we are dependent
upon society for our
playful existence.

Something New For My Viewers...

 

Trusting

water churns in life's pool
we hesitate and the
coolness returns preventing
full disclosure and we
complain to the gods as if
we trust their answers
that never arrive in time
for our adjustments,
aging out of thought
and actions while gaining
in experience and regrets
even when chance owns
all the natural solutions.

Brevity

foolishly
we attempt slow down time
by keeping young
with our bodies
hoping
it will suffice
but only
postpones the inevitable
and we curse
the day we were born
into this life
because
it is so brief.

Incognito

hovering above the lower limits
of one's creative imagination are
the burdens we must carry forth;
the telltale signs of disbelief that
form our lackluster faiths, some
of which are collective while
others a philosophical desire;
we assume nothing while
believing everything we see
like a child learning to walk
and a parrot learning to talk,
a dog howling at a siren or
demons in the night whose
sole purpose is to disrupt sleep;
we are instinctive yet cautious
bending the rules that we can
while enforcing those we cannot
and criticizing the system that
allows us to behave foolishly.

Lenses

through different lenses we see life
not all the same but similar while
claiming to be authentic and right;
our lenses unite and divide
and seldom compromise
without favoritism extended
undermining the efforts made;
clueless, we ignore Peter and Paul
in our attempts to control events,
pausing to reassure and remind
that despite our distorted lenses
we are somehow all still equal.
