sometimes it is best not to raise your eyes
to the horizon to the world above and beyond
and far to the east and west and north and south
sometimes it is best to keep your eyes straight ahead
to your brothers and sisters and all the children
growing up around you
for I cannot travel far
and I am only a symbol a cypher
to those who hold the reins
who grip the steering wheel
but this is my world our world
and I will welcome all
and I will hold on tight
I will return,
One day I will,
Not because I lack guile,
But because of the need to be invigorated,
Oh yes I will return,
It will be enlivening I know,
Full of energy and enthusiasm,
My vivacity will be unheard of,
Full of uniqueness and gusto,
Not because I have made it,
But because rising and falling are a way of life,
I fall and rise in the same measure,
I will return,
Lacking sophistication no more,
Until I get there,
where my heart will be at ease,
Oh yes I will return.
All through the day
there was a pain,
needle stuck
in the body flowed
to the mind
an owl hooted
I thought it was the traffic
called me for a ride
in sand deserts
where nothing lives,
Only palm fronds.
Line up
the needle
let it ride
across
music ripples
Let the sound
seep in
and make you.
The meaning of love
Is easy when you
Spend time with
Someone like you.
You’re as beautiful as
A flower, as gentle
As a breeze.
You make my life
Meaningful and happy,
As if I can do
Anything in the world.
Our intimacy goes beyond words,
Passion beyond anything else
I’ve ever experienced.
You’re my best friend,
Wonderful companion,
Through all of life’s
Adventures and challenges,
Completely, totally
Committed, devoted.
Smiling and laughing together,
Sharing every emotion.
The meaning of love
Is you.
There’s a crack in every lie that lets the light in
that illuminates the lie so it all just crumbles
all you need is to find the cracks
then there’s no more pretending
deluded euphoria is fun no more
politics will no longer be inscrutable
no falling for liars and their deceits.

no need for negative films
