POETRY

ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS

WHERE DOES POETRY COME FROM

I DON'T THINK ANYONE  KNOWS

ALL IS NEVER SAID AND DONE

IT'S ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

AFTER THIS ONE CAME TO ME I WAS HEARING IN MY HEAD THE LAST LINE OF BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY BY QUEEN....ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS...ALWAYS LOVED THAT SONG...

THEY FEED ON FEAR

JUST TRUST IN LOVE

PRIORITIES

HOW DO YOU PICK YOUR PRIORITIES

IS IT POSSIBLE THEY PICK YOU

ARE THEY THE REAL AUTHORITIES

WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE 

YOU BEST BE ON YOUR WAY

I FIND IT REALLY FUNNY WHEN

PEOPLE DEMAND YOUR ATTENTION

AND WHEN YOU WON'T GIVE IT TO THEM

THEY DEMAND AN EXPLANATION

WHO ARE THEY TO THINK YOU OWE THEM ONE

WHAT'S IT TO THEM WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

I'M NOT INTO SMALL TALK

I GOT LOTS TO SAY

NO NEED FOR YOU TO GAWK

YOU BEST BE ON YOUR WAY

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WROTE THE FIRST PART EARLIER AND THEN THE SECOND PART CAME SORT OF AS ANOTHER POEM BUT THEY SEEMED TO WORK TOGETHER SO I JUST ADDED IT AND CHANGED THE FIRST PART A LITTLE...

THE THINGS THAT I OBSERVE

MEET ME AT THE M.O.M.A.

BY THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY

MELTING CLOCKS DRIP OFF THE TREES

CLASSIC SALVADOR DALI

 

SUCH A SWEET AROMA

DRIFTS INTO MY MEMORY  

AS IF FROM A PASSING BREEZE

IT BECOMES A TASTY TEASE

 

MESMERIZED BY SIGHT AND SMELL

NOW I HEAR A CHAPEL BELL

SIGHT AND SMELL AND SOUND NOW MERGE

ALL MY SENSES SEEM TO SURGE

WITH THE THINGS THAT I OBSERVE

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WAS WATCHING A RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK AND A GUY MENTIONED THE  M.O.M.A AND THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF THERE WAS THE PERSISTENCE OF TIME BY SALVADOR DALI. I LOVE THAT PAINTING. IT'S FASCINATING.

IT IS FUNNY TO ME I LOVE THAT PAINTING SO MUCH AND CAN NEVER REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT...AT LEAST I GOT THE PERSISTENCE PART RIGHT...IT IS ACTUALLY CALLED THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY WHICH ALWAYS CRACKS ME UP CUZ I CAN NEVER  REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT...VERY WEIRD. I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED IT UP AS I USUALLY DO CUZ I CAN NEVER REMEMBER IT BUT CAN'T FIX IT NOW CUZ IT WOULD RUIN THE RHYME...MY MEMORY IS NEVER PERSISTENT WHEN IT COMES TO REMEMBERING THE NAME OF THE PERSISTENCE OF MEMORY BUT I CAN SEE IT IN MY MIND...I STILL LOVE THE PAINTIING EVEN IF  I CAN NEVER REMEMBER WHAT IT IS CALLED.

I SUPPOSE I WILL SUBSTITUTE TIME AND MIND BOTH WITH  MEMORY TO GET THE TITLE RIGHT IN THE POEM....

I WAS JUST THINKING IT IS FUNNY THAT THE MELTING  CLOCKS BRINGS UP A MEMORY OF WORKING WITH A GUY AT A PINBALL FACTORY ASSEMBLY LINE WHO I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS NAME OR MUCH ABOUT HIM EXCEPT THAT HE TOLD ME ONCE HE WAS ON AN ACID TRIP AND WAS MELTING  OFF THE COUCH AND HOW WEIRD IT WAS I COULD ACTUALLY PICTURE IT IN MY IMAGINATION...I COULD ACTUALLY PICTURE HIM MELTING OFF A COUCH. FUNNY HOW MEMORY WORKS SOMETIMES IN WEIRD WAYS.

FORGIVE

FORGIVE YOURSELF

FOR GOODNESS SAKE

EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES

FORGIVE OTHERS TOO

FOR WHATEVER THEY DO

DON'T BE ASHAMED

TO RELEASE ALL THAT PAIN

YOU'LL FEEL RELIEF

FROM ALL OF THAT GRIEF

SO JUST RELEASE

LET THE PAIN CEASE

FORGIVENESS AND GRACE

WHEN NOT DONE IN HASTE

BUT AT YOUR OWN PACE

CREATES MORE SPACE

FOR LOVE AND LIGHT

THAT BRINGS DELIGHT

Author's Notes/Comments: 

EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

EVEN WHEN WE TRY TO FORGIVE OTHERS WE OFTEN FORGET TO OR DON'T EVEN THINK OF FORGIVING OURSELVES TOO.

THIS WAS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND FROM ENERGY MEDICINE THINKING ABOUT RELEASING RESENTMENT,ANGER,GRIEF,ETC AND FORGIVENESS BEING A VERY GOOD WAY TO CREATE SPACE FOR POSITIVE ENERGY TO REPLACE THE UNWANTED ENERGY THAT GETS STUCK SOMETIMES AND CAUSES LOTS OF ISSUES...IF WE CAN LET GO OF OLD STUCK EMOTIONS, FEELINGS, THOUGHTS, BELIEFS, HABITS, PATTERNS, STUCK ENERGY AND MAKE ROOM FOR  MORE LOVE AND LIGHT AND PEACE AND JOY JUST THINKING OF THAT  BRINGS A SIGH OF RELIEF TO ME...WROTE THIS AFTER WATCHING THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD...

SUCH SHAMEFUL BETRAYAL

SUCH SHAMEFUL BETRAYAL

SELF SABOTAGE

WHAT MAKES IT PREVAIL

SOME STRANGE MIRAGE

WE SOMEHOW UNVEIL

SOME SORT OF COLLAGE

THAT TELLS QUITE A TALE

IN SOME MONTAGE

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

WATCHING JESUS ON PRIME VIDEO WITNESSING THE SHAMEFUL BETRAYAL THAT EMBODIES  SELF SABOTAGE...FOR HIS  FOLLOWERS IN BETRAYING HIM CERTAINLY BETRAY THEMSELVES TOO....

PROPAGANDA DANCE

MAKING SENSE

OUT OF NONSENSE

PROPAGANDA DANCE

 

BLOCK THE TRUTH

WHAT'S THE USE

WE DON'T STAND A CHANCE

 

THEY GOT THE RIGHT OF WAY

TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY

WE ARE IN A TRANCE

 

SELF DEFENSE

GETS INTENSE

ONCE WE ADVANCE

 

SPEAK UP LOUD AND CLEAR

THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR

TAKE A CHANCE

 

THINGS HAVE GONE SO WRONG

FOR FAR TOO LONG

TIME TO STAND UP STRONG

REMEMBER HOPE FLOATS

 WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY CLOSE

ARE THE ONES  WHO HURT EACH OTHER THE MOST

I SUPPOSE THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT GOES

MAYBE NOBODY EVEN KNOWS

JUST DON'T STEP ON ANY TOES

TRY TO AVOID THOSE WOES

REMEMBER HOPE FLOATS

Author's Notes/Comments: 

WROTE AFTER WATCHING A MOVIE CALLED HOPE FLOATS...
