To know yourself is
To know God itself
For whatever you imagine
Can be by simply
Seeing it before it’s
Seen by others trust
That what you see
Is real and go
Find it or make
It so for those

There is complex
And there’s complicated
Complex has stairs
And cautious labyrinths
Treasure to discover
Complicated has secrets
And veiled deception
Disappointment to uncover
Complex is timeless
Second after second
Each ticking away
One more please
Complicated is timed
Hour upon hour
Playing the charade
Until it’s over
Give me complexity
Keep your complications
SkinnedKnees
We talk about better
Better is a reference
A comparison to something
That is usually unsettling
But what if unsettling
Was the better thing
Things that make us
Pop things that make
Us change are better
Oh we love summer
But fall is when
Life really finally starts
We all enjoy frolicking
We only ever learn
From our skinned knees
IsThisDying
I can’t seem to
Pull my wits together
Perhaps this is what
Dying may be like
Preparing for the end
A deluge of memories
Rushing down the canyons
Of my previous life
Lifting and pulling yanking
And clearing and cauterizing
Laying waste to wasted
Years

I do love love
But not the baggage
I prefer friendship love
Over the lovership variety
Friendship love is constant
Like a heart beat
It’s thoughtful like unexpected
Greeting cards wishing well
Lovership love is spicy
And hot and explosive
Like jalapeño peppers initially
Sweet and innocently unalarming
Until the sweating starts
And you find yourself
Reaching for anything but
Friendship love is scotch
Warm friendly and fuzzy
Lovership love is tequila
With lime and salt
Followed by a hangover
That lasts for months
