Crying Savior

A tear of blood ran down his face.

For man, all pain and suffering had been absolved while for him, all pain and suffering he was about to bear.

The tears fled leaving only blood, blood of the world, blood of his.

His blood to shed for the world, his blood to shed until death so that life could be eternal.

Words Like Bohemian

Words like Bohemian once meant: collectively or solitarily creating by any means affordable.


Bohemian once marked the artist and their instrument; maybe they had one good suit that they wore to every showing, reading, exhibit, gig, ect.

In the morning they returned to the life where normalcy lives.

In the morning they returned to their jobs they most likely despised and most likely only paid in perks; like being able to live upstairs in the attic/studio/ bungalow cheap or even free. The view of the city is perfect and the light is just right, or might be that sitting out there inspiration comes down like never before. The muse takes control of the hands and before long two maybe three books are done and number four will have to wait because some one is at the door.

Today, words like Bohemian is the name of the IKEAN furniture set that one can place in their trendy little apartment; in a trendy little neighborhood that going through the trendy little process of Gentrification.

Old homes demolished to make way for factories that are then turned into cheap office space to later be renovated in the form of living lofts or expensive studio apartments.

Today, words like Bohemian means having an air freshener in the shape of Buddha or Kali hanging from the rearview mirror of your hybrid, energy efficient, carbon foot print conscience vehicle. Making your way downtown fast to buy those jazz posters you saw at Target, it would go great for decorating the music area, but first you have to stop at the corporate own café and get your moca loca latte; which is made from environmentally friendly grown and fair trade beans with organic soy.

Today, words like Bohemian mean nothing more than Trendy, Chic, Modern.

Today, words like Bohemian have conformed to convention and are nothing more than a label for something opposite than what it use to mean.

Today, we use words like Bohemian because they are not Bohemian.

Forgot to Remember

Did I turn the stove off? Maybe I dint lock the door.

What is it?

Wait! Yeah that’s it! No its something more.

My wallet, my keys, and my phone I do have so what is it that I forgot?

What is it I don’t remember?

Whatever it is I’ll remember before my live is over.

Oh yeah!

It already is.

Primordial

Where time and creation begins and ends your arms stretched out from the new, creating love, forming the first house of light, the first temple of truth.

Pure and untouched it was then, so shall it be in the end

Mercury in Retrograde

Why are people afraid to say NO; as if it was a bad word or meant something other than the opposite of yes?

No does not mean that you are hated by the person saying it.

No does not mean that you; what you have said; what have you have done or thought about doing is ignorant, dumb or even wrong.

No simply means I disagree.

No simply means that I have a difference of opinion.

No simply means that I don’t want to at this time.

Simply put No just means No.

Naked in the open

What are you hiding behind?


The many words in the many books you’ve read. The lyrics you pour into your ears then repeat back slightly out of key. Sometimes a joke or two, or the smile they are meant to bring.


What are you hiding behind?


I use to use an intimidating face and muscles. I now use the very opposite, strangely it works just the same.


Some like the rain because it hides their tears.


For a while, a brief while, I was able to use money and the big home, but not the fancy car.


I personally hid a long time but now I’m open, now I’m naked.


It’s funny what you see when you realize you’re standing naked in a soul tundra with only a mirror as company


What are you hiding behind?
