A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.
- Benjamin Franklin

Photo Friday: Home

Wild Flower Soul

wild flower soul you bloom by the distance
as i wait on my seat to follow you
a thousand leaves came by
blowing my shadow to stillness

a twitch of the blissful afternoon
guised to defy tradition
let me redeem my tranquility
as i feel the calmness of your stare

without moving, a motionless voyage
was defined by the glow of your warmth
a rare flame yearning
reflecting thru the eyes of the light

and i finally see the dawn break
finally gaze at your undefiled passion
for i have been waiting all day
i have been waiting for your -
  wild soul to touch mine.

Photo Friday: Stillness



Silence in the Sky

but it was a warm day and the night was clear
the wind was damp as invisible droplets
float by the air

and the sky, bare and cloudless
i stand and wait to see the first star
i could almost touch
the scent of flowers floating in the air

i taste the air with warm shadows
as i rest my wings a moment
because there was no wind

still waters carpet the sea
as i glance at little ripples
silently moving towards my feet

a sudden laugh filled the air
as i look by the distance
to find you.. just there
staring back at me.

Illo Friday: Fat

The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life.
Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul
or we get fat.

B&W Photo Challenge: Man Portrait

Mover and Shaker

He walked a journey that flattened the lands
with a frivolous continuality
and an upending stance --

Let me paint you from within
and fill the drifting shapes of empty dreams

A reddening twilight that touched the sea
in shades where blackbirds wake the dawn

He swept aside a thousand pathways there
'til darkness in dusk were all gone

Staring to the radiance of what's to come
He sank into the clouds, he then float

Still into the echoes he sailed the wind
Erasing all doubts and soulless cries

Madness aflamed began to fly away
He brought rest to give strength to rise.

Illo Friday: under the sea

Sea of Dreams

come inside your mind
let your soul be

release whats inside
nothing is what it seems

one cannot contain
the uproar of thoughts

how can one captivate
and justify one's state?

hide under your sea of dreams
but let it float
don't let it fade

drown with its ecstacy
what your eyes cannot touch
your spirit sees

break away from convention
set yourself free.
