unique
I wonder at my passion
it burns in my chest
it teaches me about myself
a lot of times to my chagrin
someone told me if it doesn't hurt it isn't good
so I take breath and release my thoughts back to the universe
to see if I passed the test
it plays on my mind late at night, my mistakes
but I do my best with what I've been given
I am gentle, I am dark
depending on the light or shadow, I am beautiful
I need within my soul
to understand the beauty of her...pneuma
she reflects all facets of being
within midnight's glare still, found radiant
we shine people did you know?
we are here gathering knowledge
I'm an old soul
I didn't come this time for money or gold
I came for love and honesty
no matter the bitter truth
the universe feels your ache
while we stretch, blink, and evolve in understanding
be kind where you can, be defiant too
follow your moral core
there is only one you

Lazeray
Melted into a Lazeray
Crashing into time
As a millisecond ride
Racing lanes inside my mind
Anti-gravity hair radiation
Beaming in all directions
Recalling recollections
Brain of mirrored sections
Polarized blinging light
Amplified infrared eyes
Speeding through pathways
Following the wavelengths
Guiding invisible ultraviolet
Speeding up alpha and theta waves
Avoiding the anxious dead cryolite
Within the fever of my troubled mind
All the time saved
by a Lazeray
Crashing into time
As a millisecond ride
Racing lanes inside my mind
Anti-gravity hair radiation
Beaming in all directions
Recalling recollections
Brain of mirrored sections
Polarized blinging light
Amplified infrared eyes
Speeding through pathways
Following the wavelengths
Guiding invisible ultraviolet
Speeding up alpha and theta waves
Avoiding the anxious dead cryolite
Within the fever of my troubled mind
All the time saved

Time
“Time”
I looked on you as though you were a wishing star
As you sat beside him in the front seat of your car.
The look you gave was more than words could say
And you looked again as he drove you away.
I’m sorry I didn’t have the courage to say what I longed to say.
I feel like time is moving fast, and all we do is delay.
Sweet, orphaned child who shall never be ours,
Water this grave’s wilting, white flowers.
Lover dear, you are beautifully in my fortune
I never could quite treat you like an option.
And I felt the regret, the pain of you alone
I feel that ache as though it were my own.
And I grasp your shadow as it is lengthening
In the first twilight of the spring.
I am afraid of longing for that caress
As with grace we share our loneliness.
I cannot walk this path without your hand
Without you to look into my eyes, and understand
That my will is thine, and my heartbeat is a song
That kisses your name for as short a time as life is long.
Time is turning these pages anew,
And I pray the next I write for you
Will not be a pean of the past—
But that shall color the book’s last
Line with what was a life well spent,
Oh! God. Where the time went
I have not a clue—but still I cannot say
What I long to say,
And time is fast,
And all we do is delay.

Being Cagey!
It has been said
That if you truly
Love someone
You will help them
Open up their wings
And set them free
(As long as they
Pay their share
Of the rent
Whilst on their
Sojourn!)
And to think
I wasted
All that money
On a cage!
