it's hard to live up
to the dead
10-20-2004
Not much is left
in life for me
but one unwritten poem,
the perfect words
in perfect order
that gently flow
like piss after good ale.
10-15-2004
In the morning cold
when the sales die,
when the clouds gray
cover autumn sky,
and the fallen leaves
litter sleeping lawn,
used lonely books
sit on dusty shelves,
looking down at me
as if it's my fault.
Full of wisdom are
many of those books
yet so little help
they can offer me,
when the sales die,
when the sales die.

The truth is simple like dawn and sunset
it can be seen from any place on Earth
by anyone who has a courage to admit
when he is wrong or simply does not know
all things that may be or may not be relevant
to the well being of all beings on this planet
at any given time in space that has no end
and no beginning unless the God exists.

lost cause
the poem with
no words
Today, February 1, 2003, is a sad day.
The sum of numbers from 2-1-2003 is 8.
8 is a sign of the Infinity, a sign of the Infinite Being. 8 symbolizes balance and harmony.
If it coincides with sad events it tells us of the lack of balance and harmony, the need of it.
second grim reminder
from above
clean up your home!!
