come take a ride with me
on the free flow
of a thought-show
openly striding
freely confiding
persuasively gliding
happily abiding
all my time
lettin' go
in a natural stream
coaxing my muse to be centre
of the dream
while finding out
what I do, don't seem
to know

learning to grow

always searching for the effectual hammer
a real word slammer
(while trying to keep up with the grammar
...well, after a manner)

seeking that all elusive rhythm
that just sounds right
when the reader takes flight
throwing in the odd rhyme
when it seems the right time
or sucking on a lime
and spitting out the pips
puckering my lips
swaying my hips
to make love with the words
for free-thought
I have bought
through hard-earned experience
needs no dilutin'
or convolutin'
no disreputin'
nor reconstitutin'

and demonstrative words
need no aggressive absurds
so I'll just sit on the boundaries
of what is expected
and duly accepted
until they BURST
for who should tame an imagination
roaming free
who would even want to, see?

but hey, I'm just honing my skills
seeking my thrills
maybe one day, paying some bills!
ha! ha!

but for now I'm
feverishly brainstorming
avidly concept forming
placidly percept-adorning
literally heart-warming
or empathically warning
of life's perils

and it is about life

for a cascade of strife
drips liberally
from a well polished literary knife
and you will see
happiness flies
way above the clouds
in cosmic streams of Orion's paradise
to a poetic mind
every emotion, a treasured find
each life lesson another facet to grind
to an elegiac kind
every atom of creation shined
in the diffractions of a rhythmical prism
the contrasts in life, a schism
of royal-claret sunset polka hue
and all you need do
is read it
and think it
to feel it

God bless you!
