I'm not an expert at anything and furthermore don't believe there are many of those anyway but that doesn't stop me having an opinion on just about anything. I have the steadfast belief in the fact that old sayings get to be old sayings because there's some amount of truth in them. The one relevant here is "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." These days you have allot of people falling for the most ridiculous things. I'm here to shed some light on that and I might just throw some of my original quotes and poetry at you too and of course a good dose of my current fav music to swirl it all around that brain till it resembles some warm Velveeta. Hope you'll lend an eye and ear my way sometime. Click on our intrepid sojourner below for my main poetry site. Look out for that nasty little guy just below him. He'll lead you astray for certain ;)

Traveler’s Haiku


Death in my suitcase
Upon destined arrival
At last, I unpack


~SS~

the son of no one
born to shun
infant estranged
the son of no one
left to
derange


biding time
for exchange
to administrators
confined with
the instigators
crime
coming of age
will foster the rage


evicted, 15
constricted to ween
little esteemed
while
intervening detention
caught one’s attention
caution neglected
contracted and rejected


the son of no one
violent companion
father to none
only
chance undone
absent inherent
not all as apparent


spectre paternal
world war
internal
post traumatic
diligence Erratic
distance and animosity
breeding atrocity


from a distant
unknown
unaware descent
sown
to overbear
dissent to care
outcome hell bent
opportunity misspent


yet the one
would resign
within
destinies entwined
after long suffering
time
inevitable design
disillusioned
from what wrought
confusion


let it go as
it comes
son of no one
once numb
for some
to the many
no one
now son of the one


the race
had to run
for it to be won
come bittersweet
communion
for a portent reunion


is it good to be gone?
life will go on
for after life on the run
this one son was won


RIP old man

the matter of intent or the intent to matter
it only matters what I intend

if I have something to say
I will say it
if not,
I will not
if just to be significant
that would be insignificant

if I’m intending to engage because
it is my need to engage
then I am the meaning I intend

If I engage because I’ve meaning
then the meaning is what is meant

this world is full of need
and we all have ours
and it should be served
but to subjugate yours
only to serve mine
in the end, serves no one

Drop It

step forward drop off
the edge ends here
you’ll never cross it
to fall is doom

you believe. it’s to scoff
deny what is dear
lest you’ll be unfit
we’ll ready your tomb

you’ll stay where you are
you are who you’re not
it’s not about you
you are who we’ve said

you shan’t vary far
you’ll put your neck in the knot
you try to go through
you’ll end up dead

the deafening sound

my will believes the sky
free as the wind
nothing hinders as I fly
