You can only pretend so long.
Before you are exposed.

The schemes usually unfold in time.
When you lose your cool and let loose with the truth.

Realize many of best associates knows your views.
Cause within some they shares them with you.

Whether hatred toward another race.
Whether hatred toward another religious.
Whether hatred toward your job.
Simply views about government officials that might not holds your perspective.

Then again, those elected must not be on the same page.
Or , we might have another ******'s will one dimensional rage.

Yes, you can pretend only so long.

Before many aware of your true heart intention.

Like many, we see operating within churches.
They claim to love God will undying strength.
But under this wrong impression, they are speaking for him.

Or out lining his vision.
When in truth, many doesn't even know yours.
And then when exposed, they fall back on scriptures.

By saying, 'those without sin cast the first stone".
But uses the bible more so, when they are caught and exposed.

Didn't they comprehend?
You can only pretend so long

Sometimes
I see a picture.
A picture of a woman
in a kitchen.

Her hair is tied back. But sometimes
it’s not.

Sometimes she winks at me.
A knowing
smile and twitch
of an eyelid.
Sometimes.

Sometimes she’s angry.
Drenched
in the sweat of steamed
broccoli and cauliflower.
Sometimes.


Sometimes she’s cleaning.
Scrubbing her kitchen
spotless. Red tomato
sauce and broken
glasses.
Sometimes.

Sometimes she wilts.
Beside the petunias.
Black
and purple.
Blue
and pink.
Sometimes.

Sometimes she’s spilling.
Water flooding
over the counter
top and stuck
to the clotted drain.
Sometimes.

Sometimes she sees me. Usually
not.  Sometimes she smiles. Usually
not. Sometimes I help her. Usually
not: sometimes.

Kissed her here, kissed her there...
...Kissed that girl everywhere

i want to enhance my mind
i like to go to that other place
thought patterns of another kind
outer awareness of inner space

i want to slow down my time
move in slow motion in the race
letting what i know leave me behind
inner awareness of outer space

It hurts like hell, but I'll just a take another trip, dip & dive into someone else's liquid mind. Find friends among the beaten flowers, in an abandoned window sill. Look forever among the common grounds, the commotion of motion beyond all life forms. **** me, & find peace within yourself. A life for a life.

When peace comes curling up to me
comes to rest softly on a sweetest breeze
or in the cooing of a mourning dove
carries my aching soul far and gone
it comes in the soothing kiss of dawn
in the quiet clouds of red and orange
brief a fiery sky, consumes all the
troubles of this world.

I saw a six-year-old girl turn
foothills into rainbows
Anything can happen
