Palindromes

"A nut for a jar of tuna"

"I prefer pi"

Point of No Return

Freedom is an illusion
Naturally driven
A prisoner of this compulsion
Pressure is always there
The start has got to feel right
Hanging in the balance
I am the hunted
At peace with the consequences
Fear of danger leads to high concentration
No hesitation in this altered state
Fear transforming to calm
Pulling past the point of no return
Heightened awareness of surroundings
I go on living
As long as I have dreams
The crux is leaving the ground

A Wish

I just want to cuddle with Johnny Depp next to a fireplace and cry softly until I fall asleep.

Just Wondering

Just Say No or Just Do It?

Uh Oh

Mother Nature doesn't like cockiness
Growing inside me like a disease
Flirting and flowing with the rock
Performing, daring, balancey tease
Then stripped, skinned and grated
Any chance I could redo that please?

Epiphany: I kinda suck.

B Breakin'

The tide goes out
The tide comes in
The point gets busy
The crowd gets thin
The waves come fast
I paddle too slow
I get held under
Where's my tow?

Gushing

I am writing this from inside a shark
It's quite challenging because of the dark
Last I remember I was climbing at the Park
Then the entire forest burned up with just one spark

Where's the humanity?
Busy trying to appear bad ass?
Where's the dignity?
Let's make love, not gas

Smitten

Do you strut when you walk?
Do you spit when you talk?
Will you still like me with my nose covered with chalk?

Does your spirit have spunk?
Does your heart beat to the funk?
Will you take me climbing to that place called the Gunks?

Will we gaze at the stars?
Will we share energy bars?
Will you turn and run away when you see all my scars?

Awakening

The moonlight penetrated my eye lids
Between dusk and dawn I awoke
My angry foot stomped the sideways air
Lack of sleep caused my lack of stoke

Objects disappearing and reappearing
Illusions on my island catch my eye
Suddenly realizing the awful joke
No one with me to stand by

Stray Cat and the Raven

She bled out loneliness
The Pika knew it and so did the Lark
The Rattlesnake inside karate crack
Witnessed her succumb before dark

The Raven dropped the stone beside her
As she wept in the open field
Feeling no burden, she eyed the chip
No mercy does not yield

SUN

Spontaneous
Unconflicted
Natural

Solo
Uncovered
Nothing

Success
Undiscovered
Nameless

Parking Lot

A place exists where pain does not
All you need is an ounce of pot
This is not what I was taught
If I try, I don't wanna get caught
Life is not what you thought
Let go right now of what you sought

Stepping Off

I wear many shoes
Appropriate for the action
Sometimes they refuse
My bare feet have their own traction
My soles are confused
I'm doing this for distraction
I smile cuz I'm amused
Like a carnival of attraction
