This poem was written by me in respect for the life of a good man, Mr. David E. Choate

My friend is in a place somewhere without harm, pain, or scare

Where the sun shines brightly, the skies stay blue, and the lakes stay full as pollinated...

A pet, a toy... trapped

in an endless echo chamber

employed at little cost.. if any

Gabriel

play your horn

break the silence

tear down those walls

with violence

greater than all the stones

they've gathered

to throw at those

who, like you

profess to follow

a different view

in your dimensional forecast

i am a stray cloud

rising in and out

of the fleeting shadows

unimportant to the wake

of greater things

moving what matters

a misplaced sign, perhaps

a remnant of clouds dispersed...

survival... the constant battle

a spiritual tone of consciousness
generated beyond thinking

an awareness not quite honed
still, there... somewhere

to proclaim this tenuous grasp of existence

It begins with a cough

Low grade fever

Night sweats

Diarrhea of the mouth

Also known astalking shi*t

Throwing up lies

Vomiting untruths

Regurgitating hate

Lives on door knobs

I almost panicked, I was letting life get to me and I should have known better. I was working a cold sweater -- I was doing things backwords and expecting forward results. This sh*t can get moist and if you are not paying attention you might miss ...

Nonexistent thoughts

of a sailor at sea

Passing by, dreaming

In the midst of a warm salty breeze

Pushing waves toward golden shores

And awaiting fantasies

Of a glorious destination

Dreamt in a thousand daydreams galore

Upon the stars I gaze

fixated on its beauty my heart is set ablaze,

Only to lose its heat as doubt begin to reign.

Am I truly worthy of love?

Like two doves I compare myself to thee.

Tomorrow's worries creep from the future of uncertainty ...

Rise up into the day

Let the light shine on

and lead the way

Ride your muse in the sunlight

Let the love fill your heart and stay

Thoughts inside a dream

Memories of a time

Heavy on the mind

The weight of sorrow

With the weight of sorrow

The path I walk alone

For those too weak to speak

From saddened hearts and wounds deep

And from heartache

The soul weeps

And all hatred is

But a trait, a blister

Merely ...

As winter comes undone

The ice melts

and rivers run

Frosted air baked

By the burning sun

And the forest comes abuzz

Critters and creatures scatter abound

Above bird calls resound

In springtime common mates are found...

to languidly float on the surface of turquoise oceans
a willowy stroll upon pristine sandy shores
to bask
to tan
under the rays and warmth of the summer sun
but
this is a political poem

gleefully frolicking in chocolate water falls
adorn...
