I'm not lying

acrossssSsssshittt

have you ever felt bad?
…I have

the things we do
the things…

we say

do you know a place
…to hide?
if so
would you please
take me there?
…I hope so

I only ask
Because I do…
Wish to hide

Because I say things all day long
And I fear…

I’m always wrong

This time
I’m not lying

You need not stay
I only wish to pray

Look at this boy
He killed himself
He was exposed
He was alone

Just a place to hide

so that I don’t mind
If I die

mysticweed

i do not know how to take this
but that is the beauty of poetic license.
this is so beautiful by its succinctness
and so powerful by its words

the wolf

outstanding,.... as always.

I don't know what to say...
but you have definitely left me thinking, just awesome Brother.

thanks Godfather.. you don't know what to say, but with the shit I;ve just been hit with, I don't know even what to think...

... faith... i guess

I'm unsure. I'm uneasy. I want to leave. I want to hide. When I know I shouldn't. I don't mean to lie. But I may be. I may be wrong. Aren't we all ?

Thought provoking, again . A conscience check that doesn't seem to bring up a definitive answer. Leaves me wondering ....

acrossssSsssshittt

thank you so much myra... your words are very meaningful and sincere...as always

a place to hide ? I wonder... faith? or France ? : )

Stay steady Oceans - you have a tremendous spirit, that pulses through your every sparing word. La France? Oui, bien sur - ils ont sympa la bas - supercool.

The only danger with me reading your poems is I get stirred up and risk writing some more of my own!! eek

France is a good place to hide.... And if that's not enough, well, there's still faith, huh ?

yeah faith...but it plays hard to get ... at times... scary ... i think France is kinder than Faith ... : )

Try this acrossOceans - but take with a pinch of salt. You can tell me (us) what you find if you like - I don't want to do your head in! Better still (to get back on topic) write us a poem if you find anything of value

I'd wish so. But it can be misleading. I'd say Faith is a surer bet.

intense tremors... I just took a look at that, and realized I'll have to get back at it tomorrow after I've thought out some personal shit... tonight, my brain's workin overtime... not a pretty sight... thanks for this brain exercise ... I do tend to get lax every so fuckin often

Sorry if it was really not what you needed. Sometimes it really helps me clear my head - new perspectives - other times not so.

Alternatively - chill out and have a beer!


that i-ching tends to reflect back what is going on inside- I see it like a parabolic dish into which you throw a tennis ball - the way the ball comes back tells you something about how it is thrown, and something about the dish.

Sorry this is probably even less what you need!!

on the contrary my friend... it's people like you from whom I should learn somethin... trust me, I'd be doin myself some good, if I made my life a bit healthier, physically , emotionally , mentally and in all other ways possible... I truly love the way you appreciate the working together of the mind and body.. your commentary on tai chi, if I spelt that correctly , is just one example... I've "chilled out" way too much for my own good... I best be takin a look at what you've sent... it's just one lil thing... but I need to wise up... generally

Moody
Moody
I always start with moody
Feel the epicentre expand
Like butterfly flower
Emerging
unfolding
Always fractal unfolding
One day
Not too far
Spreading across oceans
Seeking connection
Friendship and solidarity
trust love kindred trust

Worried
Worried about the line between
fiction and autobiography
Your line
This time
Not mine

Trusting the unfolding
emanating across oceans
trusting the trust trusting the faith
trusting the absence of rogue hostility
that surrounds and abounds us
trusting the path
that path of truth
trusting in safety
some sort of divine protection
circumstance, happenstance
and kung fu
Trusting in You

"Feel the epicentre expand
Like butterfly flower"

what a beginning... tremors... you sure know how to shake this fucker up... such thoughtful words...and such beautiful intent behind em... I believe Eddie would dig : ) what you've said means so much ...to me... more so cuz you use my name : )

Brother you call your self what you would like to be called and don't worry what it sounds like don't worry what the world/people think and don't let em change who or what you are, it takes all of us to run this machine.

acrossssSsssshittt

don't worry about it Godfather... if I'd grown up givin a rats ass about what people thought of me, well I might have been the most popular, party freak in my town landing a new woman every week... though my hometown 's always been quite the rocker blast of a motherfucker, there was never a shortage of ravin party pendejos... not having given a fuck I ended up like this....not exactly landin a new woman every week if you know what i mean... for better or for worse... well... who the fuck knows ...

my real name... ah forget about it...it's the real shit... if pronounced right, it's got a real solid kick to it... I tell my mother she nailed it good : )

Yes, this is true, you are old enough to name yourself bro......

And by name
The name they gave me
The name I'm letting go

There is something about your poems, that seem to stir up quite a bit of emotions....

Thank you always....
