Mellow in Blue
When the winds mellow in blue
with lonely seance listening
Beneath jagged edge stones
with nocturnal seizures
In death's infirmary
with a benign smile
Because they are dead
when the winds mellow in blue
with lonely seance listening
Beneath jagged edge stones
with nocturnal seizures
In death's infirmary
with a benign smile
Because they are dead
when the winds mellow in blue

Today 00:52am
they weren’t always that dark, nights
streets were never really that
dark thoughts were all in my
head and in my eyes
were neon lights and
lamp posts of a city around which
I once used to walk
dark thoughts were all in my
head and in my eyes
were neon lights and
lamp posts of a city around which
I once used to walk

Plum Purple Night
My Florida sequins sun
Deliriously sparkles
Like a disco globe
Reflecting heat
Splitting dreams into
Relentless mirages
Of 17 beaches
Wearing waves
Of fallen lavender
Sowing black red
Drifting seeds
In the fertile blue
Raining upside down
Draining Tampa Bay
Flooding the sky
With lullabies of incense
Warm and waiting
For a Plum Purple Night
Of 17 chances
To medicate the stars
With welcomed fragrance
Curing their insomnia
Deliriously sparkles
Like a disco globe
Reflecting heat
Splitting dreams into
Relentless mirages
Of 17 beaches
Wearing waves
Of fallen lavender
Sowing black red
Drifting seeds
In the fertile blue
Raining upside down
Draining Tampa Bay
Flooding the sky
With lullabies of incense
Warm and waiting
For a Plum Purple Night
Of 17 chances
To medicate the stars
With welcomed fragrance
Curing their insomnia

Under the Linden Tree
the river crystal clear spiritual shadows entwine
keeping deep sorrow a story almost divine
a baby girl lost in a woman memories trapped
of being lost in the depth innocence still wrapped
the echoes and memories of a linden tree
branches low caressing the ground tenderly
the soft earth beneath cradled her baby form
covered in embrace of wildflowers swarm
she remembers the stream in her dream
the cool crystal clear water where she fell
the cool breeze on her as she was thrown
by her mother into where the fishes dwell
...

Scramble
If I wasn't aware of pain
it wouldn't feel so damn good,
and since I've collected it for years
I am keen
to diversions presented,
that body
immaculately scented
pulling me
into a thought
that can't be prevented
It can be hard
to compete with the past,
some crazy times
with a joint and flask
Sarah MacLachlan
named an album
"Fumbling Towards Ecstasy"
and it used to be that way
opportunities offered
and so eager to sway
I know this train
of the mind
is...

I am Fat
Not a choice
that was made
I did not ask
though I got
I suspect it could be
just plainly my lot
A mouse, maybe two
no really it's true
They tempt and entice
a weakness, these mice
A man or A mouse
age old and is told
Of the strong, Of the weak
Of the bold, Of the meek
I reflect on the master
a man in his right
The walls he built with plaster
housing weakness every night
Yes, fat as I can be
I execute a nightly quest
precision, skill and ecstasy
earn the whole next day of rest
So,...

First Date
Crackers on a Saturday
for the first meeting with my boo
so delectable call her lunch
Shrimp and grits to a king
to my Queen
endless Mimosas and open menu to brunch
Conversation is outstanding
I'm at the edge
of my seat in light rain
Cordial in our interactions
as we speak
your lips vocab send sex to my brain
This what’s done to me
I'm held
on motion of words from your
tongue
The situation is calm
and sensual
as I rest outrageous beats of
my lungs no war drums ...

Just in Case
I make my art from common things
more cabbage patch than pearls on strings
right plain I spoke no riddles made
among the words where I have played.
Still,' folk pretend to be bemused
make mock amazement, seem amused,
a sly attempt, it could be said,
to deride words grown, from my head...
I say it's they with their mean minds
wilfully closed snide and unkind,
no laurel leavers I could crown
if they write up it is to put down.
They are gathering their collective breath
to blow me into literal death,...

Echo
caught in a tangle of dusted words
unheard
fading away in despair
a lingering echo from my mind
pled
don’t leave me behind—
…leave me behind…
…me behind…
…behind…
unheard
fading away in despair
a lingering echo from my mind
pled
don’t leave me behind—
…leave me behind…
…me behind…

Refrained
(Moon_bather/Fia Naturie collab)
I got this to say
You don’t know me anyway
I got this to say
What the fuck you trying to say
How many fingers you got
Not enough to make you stop
How many minds can bleed
Until you stop your fucking seed
Hello 911, She’s going to need help please
What is your emergency
The world, and what she believes
Excuse me?
I want to leave and go away
Are you being detained in any way
She has locked me in chain, making me stay
I’ll send...
