Don’t seek perfection in a world of deception,
a place of  test for he and she.
If God intended for man perfection,
no mortal being will disagree.

For every time you feel rejection, only the truth will set you free. And when you tread in wrong direction,
your path will lead to misery.

So be alarmed,
request protection,
from every evil in you and me. Extend your hand and attempt connection,
don't hesitate to make a plea.

For every action that causes friction,
will wear our bond and **** our glee.
To many, you are like rainbows,
In the sky when the sun refracts,
That, once in a blue moon it glows,
Though one, all eyes it still attracts.

Their gazes just see you in part,
'Cos most of your beauty you hid,
Still you glaze their views with your art,
But to me, your love has no lid.

Even when my heart is whining,
Your love is still deep in my bone,
My sky has your silver lining,
Noone else can ever be your clone.

In you, I live my world so sweet,
You cleared my eyes of teary mists,
Loving you is my fondest feat,
In my world, nothing else exists.

My love needs not wait for the rain,
My joy daily lives on your face,
My heart has a space for your reign,
My life overflows with this grace.

You
You build me with
turquoise and
the mountains of Taos.
Cerulean blue
serenity in my soul.
My heart chases
after you.
Even your chisel
helped me
grow through
the pain.
You
are the
grand artist,
The Supreme
sculpter.
Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry from Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, available on Amazon.com.

Try to clean my place today
Might watch Michael Clayton
Nothing ever happens
But I keep on waitin'

I'm in love with Susan Meek
But love from afar
Captain Kirk. Mr. Spock.
Exoplanet star

Death just takes us
Kamakura snow
The Buddha sits in silence
Yoko yo yo yo yo...

That I choose to remember you
Despite the way you hurt me
Does not mean anything
But to appreciate how you taught me to heal

I choose to remember you
Not by how you left me
But by how you taught me to never abandon myself

I choose to remember you,
Not by how you broke me
But by how you taught me to rebuild myself

I choose to remember you
Not by how you dimmed my light  
But by how you helped me to shine

I choose to remember you
Not by how you kept me trapped in a place of comfort
But by how you empowered me to leave my comfort zone

I choose to remember you

Not by how you left me feeling weak
But by how you taught me what it means to be strong

I will always remember you
And Not by how you tried to control me
But by how you taught me to be free and trust myself.

I choose to appreciate you
Not by who you told me who I was or what you called me
But by how you taught me to define myself and trust myself

And above all
I choose to remember you
Not by how you were unable to love me
But by how you taught me
To love myself.
Thanks for being who you are

Grief's canvas stretches wide and bare
A blank slate waiting, with no one to share
The brushstrokes of memories, once vibrant and bright
Now muted and faded, in the dark of night

The paint of pain, a deepening hue
A color that clings, to all I once knew
The strokes of sorrow, bold and free
A portrait of longing, for what used to be

The process of healing, a slow reveal
A layering of emotions, a complex feel
The colors of love, still shining through
A radiant glow, in all I once knew

The subject of my heart, a beloved face
A masterpiece of memories, in a sacred space
Though faded and worn, the love remains
A portrait of devotion, through joy and pains

The final brushstroke, a gentle touch
A whisper of acceptance, a heart that's too much
The portrait complete, a story told
A testament to love, that never grows old

In this masterpiece of grief and love
I find solace, sent from above
A reminder of what was, and what will be
A portrait of devotion, for all eternity.

I don't care how you are
I don't care who you're
I only care for whom I see
What I care for is a true person in you

I don't care where you come from
I don't care where you live
Tribe or race has no place in me
I care for our safety and heart 💜

No matter your color,
No matter your pocket,
No matter where you are
I care for what you love and who you are

I don't care what my people says
Or what your people thinks
I only care for our happiness
I only care for our peace ✌️
Care for you
