I ride the hands of time,
like bronco.
Each minute a blade of grass
Each hour a mountain to climb.
as I trot in fields of optimism.

I ride its thin sleek body
that drifts in grace,
merging with ticking of heart.
I awaken seeing my own face
as each second  becomes a pinnacle part,
of my orchestrated life.

And as I gallop cross fields in day,
I balance and ground
in stirrups of breath.
breath that hold me tight,
as time disintegrates into a cloud.
Continue to have courage
Keep it moving in a positive light
Just push on through
A beautiful destination is there in sight
Times indeed will be tough
Look inside within
Your future is in your hands
Just reach for the brim
Cats are buzzards
Just can't fly in circles
But they can hover
Honey of the autumn moon
where in sweetest nectar
Flows
Golden on the ivy leaves
Through all of Eden's
Garden shows
A bud on stem
Reaching high
Content to wait among
vanilla stars  
And chocolate skys
In dew wet grass
Gazing a lover's eyes
A minted bath of
Sky ice cream
Looks like she
Must taste
Serene
Bad dreams?
Not good to lay around eyes closed.
Seems I dream for you.
We'll  be together forever.
One day.
It's almost been a year.
Soon.
I promise.
I left for work
A full pack of pall malls
In my back pocket.
Why?   I've worked my *** off
For a year.
Five dollars is all I got.
Can I borrow?
There is a wall it seems.
I can barely hear you.
I'm tempted to smash my head
Against it or ******* tear my shirt
Off bash the next ******* smile of
Contentment into oblivion.
Whoa.
Idiot.
Calm. Slow.
Breathe.
What would that accomplish
In any positive way?
******* shut the hell up!
Stop this wheel this perpetual
treadmill.
******* all the people why do they seem to be making headway.
Oh. Hi.
The cashier said $4.25 sir.
Hi. 2 bananas a dollar each and a coke
A pecan spin. My CPA brain **** calculated
Like that's halfway to 9
Of my pay.
Still got lunch to buy.
Gas
I'm not even breaking even.
Guy behind me in line
Look on his face
Like I was too slow
In his way, I wanted to flatten him.
No. Can't be going around flailing
Just because you've managed to **** your life up royally all those nights
flashing Benjamin's like you some made guy. The times you did make money.
Gaming. Trying to dream.
I dream for you.
And so it goes.
Dreams reality life
A lifer at the wheel.
Heard a story once
Think it was by some Greek
About a rock and a hill.
I relate.
I lived a large
part of my youth
carrying things
that didn’t
belong to me
Indeed I’ve carried
their loads for
too **** long
The load of how
they felt about me
the load of what
they’ve said about me
the load of how
They’ve perceived me
for far too long
These load was never
mine to carry
to begin with
Today I am free
free at last
from criticism
fears , insecurities
and other people’s
opinion
These loads
are no longer mine
to carry
Regardless
how desperate
and foolish
they may seem
Set yourself FREE .... This load ain’t yours to carry!
Arms flesh spirals rocketing
   Climbing bursting over through cloudsspace dust particles
   Explosive birth
Coronas starlights fast
     Grasped in the black
Clasped together
        In the sparkling
Universe
            Oneness symmetric
A glimpse
             Oh my love,
Heaven.
Into her old dying eyes,
Cold, one last time he dove,
Swam for that shore
Where basking naked
They had saw,
In those eyes and his,
The molten sun dance
Pursuing rainbows
Arching curves
Of fleshy skies
A time gone,
And knew
