ALONE TOGETHER,
As poppies we grow
In these endless fields
Love blooming in each
Forbidden fruit it yields
Some edible with joy
As others poison raise
Of such delicate poise
Seen in crimson haze
Standing tall to winds
Of this timeless space
By red petals adorned
Live to each other face
Always alone together
Avoiding thorny frown
Observing one another
Though natures gown
Fall amidst mankind
For each new season
Yielding to lifelines
With defiant reason
Once entirely thriving
Now dry shafts hollow
Spewing these seeds
So afraid to swallow
Dying like everything
Of natures Opium free
Seeding sacred ground
With delight they flee
Alone are in the cold
Tiny seeds from pod
Freezing in a ground
Awaiting their God
Revival of dormancy
Assures many crops
Circle of life springs
Rebirth never stops

listen to my heartbeat
Deeper still within
Do you hear my beauty?

I march to the beat,
To my own drum.
Others point and laugh,
They think I am dumb.
I go where I want,
I do what I please.
I am
Individuality is like a skyscraper
Many buildings in a city but only a few buildings stand out
Individuality is like a humpback
Archaic Transcendence
Emergi ng from the guise of a commercialized cocoon
With cardboard creations of glitz and glamor
We return
