exigence
I’d beaten my id
against a research proposal
that should have ended with
letters after my name
My meat left the skin when
my new advisor
gently
put her hand
on my shoulder
from behind and
scared the shit
out of me.
I hyper-focus.
(You know that.)
And I didn’t hear her
come into my office.
She broke the news:
The same fucking study had
just been published.
And my exigence was belayed.
A year of
recalibrated neurons,
gone ...

Kicking Up Dust
I ripped the rear view off,
no looking back on us.
Gas pedal to the floor,
I'm the only one I trust.
Threw that locket out the window
with your picture still inside
headed down the interstate
speeding at ninety-five.
Switching lanes left and right,
I refuse to tap the brakes,
I'll no longer tear my heart apart
being your unwanted mistake.
no looking back on us.
Gas pedal to the floor,
I'm the only one I trust.
Threw that locket out the window
with your picture still inside
headed down the interstate
speeding at ninety-five.
Switching lanes left and right,
I refuse to tap the brakes,
I'll no longer tear my heart apart
being your unwanted mistake.

Daydreamer
A daydreamer full of aspirations
kisses the sky
Observing the mortal realm
wandering as she goes
Keen child of wonderment
revolving in strength
don't underestimate the power of love
Vulnerability peaks and the energies surge
revealing another wavelength undisturbed
Evolving in dreamtime
to flex wings unused previously
Turning in the elements
to spin on the backs of paper elephants
Marching over time
swept up in the moment
breaking the brittle dawn
Sister to knowledge ...

Grace Beautiful One
gentle faith I feel it all
rising grace hold me tightly
within my sacredness I doubt
forgive me
beautiful hope see me true
inside the holy dark
help me to grow
learning my place in the garden grown
a sunflower beholding your truth
not shying from your beauty
so in love with you
with looks of longing
they faint inside
help me to explain
the things I hear and see heavenly
chaste of vision
lest I speak arrogantly
proverbs of the Exalted
please chastise me ...

Honey Bones
lilting in the music
drifting in its intent
note by note gathering stars
Tenderly speaking in the way
gentle light adorns me
captivating the darkness
Shiny little moth
doing what she does
stringing words of moondust
Powerful persuasion
in the her thrall
Sparking imaginations
trails of colorful display
to amuse and delight
drifting in its intent
note by note gathering stars
Tenderly speaking in the way
gentle light adorns me
captivating the darkness
Shiny little moth
doing what she does
stringing words of moondust
Powerful persuasion
in the her thrall
Sparking imaginations
trails of colorful display
to amuse and delight

Chaste
My jealousy chased you down
ripped your shirt from your back
and spew cruelties of scorn at you
The wind scream with me
following you into your sacred haunt and blew
taunting an answer from you
Berating your name and answering from hurt
it burned my lips as it fell as thunder from the skies
branding your shame
Your hidden doubts uncovered
I rejected your beauty
insulted glory fled from my sight
Vulnerable you stood naked and bare of soul
so gentle and afraid of rejection
but my desire could not...

Shadows
In the morning light I see you
dreaming of ghosts
Nostalgic for days past
you twist under the sheets
holding a last embrace
Kissing the day
awaken to the mists
then fall in place
Restless spirits follow you into the morn
soulful eyes reflect sorrow
Soon will come sleep
and your love will again shimmer
in the shadows
dreaming of ghosts
Nostalgic for days past
you twist under the sheets
holding a last embrace
Kissing the day
awaken to the mists
then fall in place
Restless spirits follow you into the morn
soulful eyes reflect sorrow
Soon will come sleep
and your love will again shimmer
in the shadows

Idoitic Heart
stupid
idoitic heart
going thoughlessly
headlong
towards
oblivion
god like
spiritual bully
perfect of course
no faults
flaws that shape
diamond
own self morality
fuels all connections
taking what's needed
then discard
when regarded
a useless
flesh suit
mistakes
are for mortals
my mistake
is being a mistake
i was alive
going down the aisle
so in a god's eye
should never
have been born
even now
a self god ...

Star Gazing At Angels
Serenading sadness I star gaze...
I love when you look at me
big soulful eyes
sharp and to the point
icy blue tells me not to
but I must provoke you
Inside me I doubt you feel the fire that is me
all consuming, a massive black hole
with an intensity of many suns
Chaos at the heart of things
mischief sparks the imagination
captivating your attention for a time
Speaking in a language you don't understand
you dance to my psalms
projecting other worlds for your pleasure
An object of...

The Yellow Pages
The sound of my cries went unheard
as the wind blew through my soul
A chill moved in and my spirit shiver
for the first time I was unsure you love me
Vulnerable in my regret
I rose to greet an unforgiving sun
blaring on my shame
until I could see nothing else
Blind to my flaws I look everywhere else
looking closely at others I search beeshechingly
if I was not liked surely it was their fault
It never occurred to me, Father
I had errantly incurred your wrath
Your jealousy pricked
you tried to...

LEFT HERE ALL ALONE
Emptying emotions and thought
Memories of us are left to rot Completely aware yet unaware
We're perfectly round like a square
Two puzzle pieces still incomplete
Yet we put each other on our feet
Our hearts just lay here to waste
We both reacted in a bitter haste
We both can no longer find
What is that was left behind
Now we're at complete loss
Each paying the ultimate cost
Its a never ending sad pain
Coursing through our brain
Everything we had, now gone
Feeling bad, but time to move...
Memories of us are left to rot Completely aware yet unaware
We're perfectly round like a square
Two puzzle pieces still incomplete
Yet we put each other on our feet
Our hearts just lay here to waste
We both reacted in a bitter haste

What is that was left behind
Now we're at complete loss
Each paying the ultimate cost
Its a never ending sad pain
Coursing through our brain
Everything we had, now gone
Feeling bad, but time to move...

Mosaic Love
I want to love you
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left
Every piece of glass
Of that mosaic soul
I want to caress the sharp
And savor the pain,
Celebrate the scars left
