Tina Cries Out
Tina cries out from her baby bed
Mother comes in and strokes her forehead
She puts her to sleep with her soothing voice
Tina is calmed by her mother's rejoice.
Tina cries out from bed but be fair
It was from a dream that turned nightmare
She has had the dream so many nights
That sleep she now no longer fights.
Tina cries out from the college dorm
She wants to leave but she's signed the form
She's afraid she'll wind up going to jail
And for killing a student she knows there's no bail.
Tina cries out from the looney...
Mother comes in and strokes her forehead
She puts her to sleep with her soothing voice
Tina is calmed by her mother's rejoice.
Tina cries out from bed but be fair
It was from a dream that turned nightmare
She has had the dream so many nights
That sleep she now no longer fights.
Tina cries out from the college dorm
She wants to leave but she's signed the form
She's afraid she'll wind up going to jail
And for killing a student she knows there's no bail.
Tina cries out from the looney...

Run Away
Grab my hand let’s
Run away, escape the world,
Just you and me.
Let’s see the world, board a train,
Run through a forest, hop on a boat.
We can escape reality, watch the stars,
Do whatever, really. I just need to be with you.
I don’t wanna miss you anymore, so let’s run away.
Run away from home, from school.
Away from family, from the chains of life.
Away from expectations, from everything.
I just need you and freedom.
You and the sky.
You and the sun.
You and me.
Let’s run away.
Run away, escape the world,
Just you and me.
Let’s see the world, board a train,
Run through a forest, hop on a boat.
We can escape reality, watch the stars,
Do whatever, really. I just need to be with you.
I don’t wanna miss you anymore, so let’s run away.
Run away from home, from school.
Away from family, from the chains of life.
Away from expectations, from everything.
I just need you and freedom.
You and the sky.
You and the sun.
You and me.
Let’s run away.

I want the talking part as much as you want sex
My friends hate me when I say I want someone like him
I dont want him to change I just want him to choose
He might sleep with them all
But I dont want that
I rather pick his mind
And let him pick mine
Getting closer and deeper than intimacy
Just to see if we have words to share
If love is off the table
Using each other still stands
I rather one time than never been able to hold
You closer than the eye contact that hints what is on your mind
I
Want
To ...
I dont want him to change I just want him to choose
He might sleep with them all
But I dont want that
I rather pick his mind
And let him pick mine
Getting closer and deeper than intimacy
Just to see if we have words to share
If love is off the table
Using each other still stands
I rather one time than never been able to hold
You closer than the eye contact that hints what is on your mind
I
Want

Evolving beyond all time
Gaze out into the distance
see me just searching..
The stars are on my mind,
I’m feeling shapeless..
and in the chasms of my mind
I sense you lurking,
you just lead me but don’t deceive,
I’m left weightless..
I’ve trekked through each timeline
a thousand times,
I saw no end in sight or signs of sureness..
It’s not known just when we’ll break through
but you’ll see me
I’ll feel you..
with our essence evolving,
essence evolving
evolving beyond all time..
We can leave behind what’s lost but ...
see me just searching..
The stars are on my mind,
I’m feeling shapeless..
and in the chasms of my mind
I sense you lurking,
you just lead me but don’t deceive,
I’m left weightless..
I’ve trekked through each timeline
a thousand times,
I saw no end in sight or signs of sureness..
It’s not known just when we’ll break through
but you’ll see me
I’ll feel you..
with our essence evolving,
essence evolving
evolving beyond all time..

A Garden For Your Ghost (9/11)
The day you left, Autumn went with you
It was winter right away
The city kind, where snow falls heavy, and gray
-and snowmen slouch to their knees in muck.
While I stood in the archway
of a cracked-face store
staring at the sky,
waiting for the rain.
-Waiting for you to walk up
and show me that you're okay.
I know, in the illogic of my heart
that you've not gone,
you simply left to follow the sun.
I know, as I fall to the fate of sleep
that you stir awake.
Not so far off, that I can't hear you still ...

Money can't buy ...
Oh, go shove your uppity airs
I know you like my derriere
and truth be told it is quite fair
but only made for sitting in chairs
so when you asked me out
I had no idea you were such a lout
since when has a simple date
ever remotely implied we mate
money can't buy you love
but in this case you get a glove
that you can use all on your own
because tonight you'll be all alone
don't bother calling, I'll abstain
no matter how much you complain
but there is a chance that I'll relent ...

The water
Water is amazing thing,
Brought her closest to peace,
Rather it roaring or silent as can be,
Cloud cover, sunshine, or moonlit,
Let me drift,swim,put feet in or just sit and gaze upon the water,
It brings calmness to my brain and soul,
Bit by bit strings of words unravel and unwind,
Emotions, thoughts so intertwine,
Ocean, rivers, waterfalls, channels, creeks, bayou, ponds, lakes and puddles,
Even rain falling fast from the sky,
Believe in when I say, can always let the water wash away,
Allow your mind to be silent,
Or let the...

Queer Theology (I)
I’ve come to believe
that straight men with cute butts
are illusions of the father of lies,
like dinosaur bones,
and single mums.

Botany
Call me a plant.
Label my branches and leaves.
Name any part that you want.
Whatever you can perceive.
You have no control.
Your words can't convey
my spirit and soul,
to file away.
Try your best Latin.
Squeeze me in your brains,
You'll find it upsetting
when nothing remains.
Language aside,
what would there be?
Eyes open wide,
and you're aware of me.
Label my branches and leaves.
Name any part that you want.
Whatever you can perceive.
You have no control.
Your words can't convey
my spirit and soul,
to file away.
Try your best Latin.
Squeeze me in your brains,
You'll find it upsetting
when nothing remains.
Language aside,
what would there be?
Eyes open wide,
and you're aware of me.

CERTAINLY DOCTOR HAVEN
The computer slid into the darkness of my electric neglect, crying for pain in the snow-ropes of random.
Easily aching, the wax of rendered delusions
scrapes the blue wall of defeat.
Will the rug weave the willful drops of the marmalade captain?
Will the night dog bite the wrapper?
Heavenly hues of salamanders pretend to suck the jacket of Ohio.
Warping, wrenching, churning;
for the fruits of the tomato-whale linger purposefully past the tree green penis of time.
Parting, parting.
Candy cane wires of memories...
Easily aching, the wax of rendered delusions
scrapes the blue wall of defeat.
Will the rug weave the willful drops of the marmalade captain?
Will the night dog bite the wrapper?
Heavenly hues of salamanders pretend to suck the jacket of Ohio.
Warping, wrenching, churning;
for the fruits of the tomato-whale linger purposefully past the tree green penis of time.
Parting, parting.
Candy cane wires of memories...

jalopy dreams · pretty waitress perfect of fools
she’s a lovely cold sculpture, marble nude with her head cut off
a sexartwar reality keeps the rattle snake that bit her
in a peanut butter jar, like voodoo
she’s a painting of a painting, a revlon reproduction
venus on the half-shell, phosphorus and effervescent, arms wide like
happy hour and everybody’s glow in the dark expectations
coming true
she wears a uniform of fingerprints, her angels in aprons overshadowed
by dogs playing poker, howling her attention
she cleans up and...
