Thoughts and Musings


(just a small section of running thoughts)
8-24-2011


I found inner aura among roots

that pricked and prodded my ego into restlessness
o how I love thee nature
how you fill me whole

I feel the buzz of active loving life run
nothing can stop my spirit from wandering
it is a beautiful thing
to plant love in every cove

watch the spirits grow inside trunks
the forest is alive and glad
to have a napping youngster to sing with
he skips stones on rivers

and with delight does he laugh
genuine release into open air
not a care, to care in warm or cool wind
rattling my bones- progressing tendons

do not hate for the lifting aura
I encase you in growth of forgiving
and together we mature beyond aggression
green rippling aura is mischievous and loving

and life is wonderful
I am glad to have a strong body and mind
a loving family and friends
the attention of a prince, trunk of one

Pleasure finds me in loving myself
as we all must do, as we are with it twenty-
four hours a day (oh there mischief goes again)
teehee and the book of understanding is shut

Thoughts of Friends

Thoughts of Friends
8-24-2011

I am a raging beast
and your face reminds me
of the years where I hugged misery,
you all kept me afloat

When time dragged me forwards
I still remembered days where no other query
Was to see your shining face,
And now - when you appear

I hide brazen race
Someone's raised a hand,
All too easy to connect skin-
When just a mass of worry

Hell, how fond do clouds return
Music pulls me hours, weeks away
Balancing on the edge within sight
Troposphere keep me alight.

How quickly did you pass [into]
My vision, which is hazy and sleep [aloft]
With the sky setting quickly
Dreamers miss failing sunlight, I also.

Do you wait for resolution
Or the running sun to wake you-
You that keep shadows as lovers,
Covering soft pallid skin from view

Or did you see my flailing arms
Draw strokes luminescent in night sky,
Driving rain did not drive me off-
On the doorstep of release I bawled

Wishing for a light to set me afire
All cursory comment debilitate inspired near-hate
Legs and trunk move quicker under lash
Of burning detail of rambling lips rash

Now I may sit when the day slows around me
And get pulled in a thousand directions,
Perhaps forget where I am or where I go-
But never what lies inside (thoughts aside)
