I'm Free

I'm Free

I'm Free

A dandelion among the stars,

not a firecracker,

not bright or bound by gravity.

I will be small,

small enough to let my friends feel like stars, boundless and full of purpose.

I will not be envious of their long life, intensity, or luminescence.

I will be happy to be free,

to float,

to live in the wind.

Until the sun rises, I will roam and carry them with me wherever I land;

We’ve come too far to fail.

We’re too close to harmony to not enjoy the solitude of our lives,

to not be grateful for our differences,

to not just be happy under the light of their presence.

I am but a seed

And you,

just a star in the galaxy.

I live in your light,

and you shine because I’m free.

Under The Influencer

Under the Influencer

trampling and stomping

over bones trodden before…

heavy spikes for crossing

but the track’s tired and worn…

searching for the golden

waters of wonder that speak…

this fountain overflowing

promises at the tallest peak…

zombies climb the mountain

of sparrow’s hollow bones…

their countenances:

stone as they stare at their phones….

tearing fingertips til blood runs

to their elbows, wet with envy…

their infected wounds succumbing

to their insecurity…

steadfast, their unquenched brains

are ravenous and ready…

to forgo any and all sincerity just to gain

the status of celebrity…

from Ambrosia’s lips falls a tantalizing

spring of ichor…

til mortal blood-lust burns agonizing

right inside her…

the nectar of the gods is poisoned

the spiked-

punch runs deep; the smell poignant

as her psyche…

…implodes from banging insanity…

Pensacola

a pen to hold us in the summertime

where nature speaks and colors rhyme

sunset reflections across the shoreline

a day well spent to restore my mind

holding onto vitamin D daydreams

while my joy basks in sun-ray beams

and peace blows in with the cool breeze

time froze the devil in the deep blue sea

the ebb and flow; matter in motion

feeling the sea swell as the wind’s blowing

the foamy glaze drifting across the ocean

chasing mole crabs as we’re beach combing

swimming below waves as they break

beach volleyball games well played

in red bikinis while drinking all day

a place far enough from home to escape

carrying sand between my naked toes

buried in the land of a world unknown

where water cools and the warm sun glows

there’s no better place I could’ve chose

your body is a revolution
eat you rich
call that carnal execution
Carnal Execution
by kalika

we got that mythic chemistry
once-in-a-lifetime
every memory is ecstasy 

together we make magic baby
head in heaven
you got me dreamin’ lately

I’ll drown your sorrows, unsung
my siren song
got you speakin’ in tongues

divine quake, watch you tremble
find solace in me
my body is a holy temple

somethin’ ‘bout my energy
treasured sacred
got that supernatural remedy

Carnal Execution

your body is a revolution

eat you rich

call that carnal execution

we got that mythic chemistry

once-in-a-lifetime

every memory is ecstasy

together we make magic baby

head in heaven

you got me dreamin’ lately

I’ll drown your sorrows, unsung

my siren song

got you speakin’ in tongues

divine quake, watch you tremble

find solace in me

my body is a holy temple

somethin’ ‘bout my energy

treasured sacred

got that supernatural remedy
