the world was not intended to be
a deep erotic epiphany.
if it is not always a climax
you have earned the right to relax.


A Significant Part
Life is a matter of attitude.
I have a feeling of gratitude
because i always feel happiness
as a part of cosmic consciousness.
I am not mad at anyone
and my life is a whole lot of fun.
Ev’ry night B4 i go to sleep
i make promises i mean to keep.
I hope tomorrow night i can say,
“I kept all my promises today.”
I face the world with honest intent
and hope my purpose is evident;
to make the cosmos a better place
because i’m part of the human race.

your living stream of consciousness
can be a road to happiness.
careless love was misunderstood
to mean “compassion isn’t good.
perhaps i should have said carefree
as not caring only for me.”
