My mind seeks
To decode the truth
I look at the logic
I try to find a solution to the sleuth
The language games we play
You cannot name the Tao
Like Joey said the point is moo(t)
And just “the thoughts of a cow)
Not sure why I’m like this
Maybe the Enneagram type 5
Something in my childhood
A loss of trust and a will to survive
Many things can happen
They reveal a pierced soul
For whom will we take solace?
What will be the toll?

When you vocalize your intention
People may also see
What behaviors you bring to the table
Just indeed how do you plea?
The pure of heart live by this etiquette
Aligning intention with action for there to be
An honorable connection
I think you would agree
…

In childhood we become enamored with fairy tales
As adults we create our own
Still enamored by this fiction we make
Asking the right questions allows the truth to be shown
In misplaced trust
The gullible will fail
Some children learn life lessons
Some adults will simply just wail
Imagination turns corporeal
When fantasy becomes real
The measure of our reality
Is the only hope for an appeal
Human behavior is vexing
We stop looking at what we see
We invent alternate scenarios
Becoming an obedient and deserving trustee
The cynic disposes of reciprocity
The hysterical will lose control
The hedonist is driven by pleasure
For whom will the bell toll?

I embrace the joy
When I see the things line up in place
Time spent together
Sharing the world as I look upon your face
Knowing there is no expectation
Knowing only these feelings that stand
Part of the uncertainty
Is built into the hand
I don’t rely on criticisms
They only detract from the moment
One can spend a lifetime
To that which is unspoken
That which is meaningful
Is better when it is said
Never leave the heart unopened
Never leave it only in your head
Life is too precious
Rejoice in what life can offer
Too many of us never act
We leave it in an unused coffer
…
DCG
We make choices
You can’t redo what has been done
Whether you lose the trust
Or whether you’ve won
We all have challenges
Some are better off than me
They don’t feel the pain like I do
Somethings they won’t ever have to see
Some will never get it
Some may never take into account
The failures of their inaction
The pendulum swings from surmount to discount
I know this is a hard conversation
In family one must work through blame
Get beyond the emotion
Get beyond the shame
What strikes me hardest
Is an unwillingness to directly address
Ones own personal connections
Why we deny and why we do not profess
This takes courage
This takes nerve
Some may learn to overcome their weaknesses
Some will just only serve

The foundation of trust
Lies in our honesty
Not only on the personal level
But in all of society
Truth permeates culture
Despite all of our reasons to lie
If you never ask the questions
You will never know why
The laws of man
Were meant to be applied
Equally for everyone
But only a free moral people can decide
The problem with the laws of man
The endless division to reconcile
The minds of men are compromised
The same minds that are used in the trial
…
DCG
Be honest with your feelings
You must decide how to engage
Use reason with emotion
Don’t act as if all the world is a stage
If you are not authentic
You hide the truth and thus deceive
The worst is not in deceiving others
But rather it is when you deceive yourself I believe
One can argue
They are both forms of the same deceit
In any case one must have a moral compass
For one to take a receipt
Be true to the heart
It is best to feel deeply
That is to say
You will embrace your values completely
To be authentic
Is to be free
Escape from a double standard
Escape from hypocrisy
If you are ever wrong
Your logic and reason are put to test
No matter how strong the feeling was
Your course will change to settle the unrest
There is no contradiction
Be true to heart and feeling – let your conscience be your guide
One to balance the other
So that the truth should never hide
I have been hurt deeply
My heart left open to enjoy
But feelings aren’t always mutual
And so the story of a heart used as a toy
Yet I would do it again
Given lessons that I have learned
The balance of our temperament
Is now what is yearned
…
DCG
The universe is mysterious
Connecting to messages we send and receive
Responding to what is positive
Or that to which we grieve
Somebody living in Boise
Relates to someone in San Diego
Somehow a connection through the ether
Slips out of the shadow
I know you’ve experienced loss
But in loss we can also find our way
There is a purpose in our healing
Pain is a teacher but it does not have to stay
Even 953 miles
Does not seem far away
Something I can’t really explain
So my poetry is my X-Ray

dedicated to Julie Roberson
Thanks Jules
I wasn’t looking
But then you came upon me
I didn’t expect what would happen
Somehow my heart is now full of glee
Maybe I was receptive?
Maybe I was under a spell?
But unlike anyone before
It was only you that I fell
You the Sagittarius
Shot me with Cupid’s arrow
The Archer and the Crab
What-do-ya-know?
I don’t think I’m crazy
What’s a poor boy to do?
I found love
I found it with you
I care deeply
Listen to what the heart will say
Having you in my life
I know now God has listened to me pray
I want only to make you happy
I’ll work hard to show you everyday
The passion we bring to each other
The passion that won’t fade away
…

I write to tell of my feelings
I write to try and understand
Sometimes we need to hear ourselves
Not listening to what’s in the hinterland
I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it
The world changed in the dark gloom
I was alone but I still fought for a life
I kept my faith, I didn’t presume
Taken by surprise
You brought my life vitality
Something I did not expect
But I was attracted to your personality
I was receptive
I wanted to strive
Because of you
I wanted to thrive
I seem to think that your story
Just might be similar to mine
You didn’t know what to think of me
But somehow we connected
Over these months that we have spend time
The many wonders of the universe
We have much to figure out
I have never been more certain
With the girl from Los Reyes Michoacan De Ocampo I am devout
