Love Got YOU This Far
I'm alive, alive
I'm barely functioning, I'm
falling apart, internally dying
To the outside perception
standing strong
always a grin
I'm alive, alive
I'm crying inside, I'm
depleted, drained but
Somehow keep moving
on, I am my daughter
This story is for her
She is me
the next chapter
as my pages inevitably end
Just as she is her mother
who forever
holds a piece of my heart
Contained in our child
she a masterpiece
created from the best of both us
I'm barely functioning, I'm
falling apart, internally dying
To the outside perception
standing strong
always a grin
I'm alive, alive
I'm crying inside, I'm
depleted, drained but
Somehow keep moving
on, I am my daughter
This story is for her
She is me
the next chapter
as my pages inevitably end
Just as she is her mother
who forever
holds a piece of my heart
Contained in our child
she a masterpiece
created from the best of both us

Mirrored Dreaming
If you had put a revolver
to my head
pulled the trigger six times
never could have nor
in a million factory resets
would have seen this
When the dreamers play about
infinatly dancing
around times maypole
Losing your self again
and again
again catching glimpses
out the corner of dystopian eyes
that split second recognition
when the dream encounters dreamer
Where does that reflection in the mirror
go, where does that face in ethereal pool
hide, who do they meet with
when we turn walk...

This Poem Is For YOU
Don't think I have forgotten about YOU
dear one(s); no how could I
Compassion
empathy
that rememberance of warmth
from before time blinked existence
dreaming awake
vibrating awake, dancing days
loving seconds, remembering years
Kindred flame from source
do YOU think the amnesia of waking
would cause the effect to forget YOU
how could I? for YOU are I
I would dive into the deepest despair
just to find YOU, seeker that I am
For I, I am light
YOU, YOU are love
dear one(s); no how could I
Compassion
empathy
that rememberance of warmth
from before time blinked existence
dreaming awake
vibrating awake, dancing days
loving seconds, remembering years
Kindred flame from source
do YOU think the amnesia of waking
would cause the effect to forget YOU
how could I? for YOU are I
I would dive into the deepest despair
just to find YOU, seeker that I am
For I, I am light
YOU, YOU are love

Te Amo Te Amo
Deep.. deep down there's pieces of me
that wants to sever this connection
kill it in its infancy
I'm just some guy, another dude
behind blue eyes here sits a fool;
for you, head over feet
kiss the dirt before you fly
sailing the seven seas
on stardust wishes
At times this feels
wishful thinking, some forlorn hope
something to hold close
some delusional dream, a little
hiding space from reality creeping in
It's me, not you, anxious alone
scared, some doubt
this cuts too close to...
that wants to sever this connection
kill it in its infancy
I'm just some guy, another dude
behind blue eyes here sits a fool;
for you, head over feet
kiss the dirt before you fly
sailing the seven seas
on stardust wishes
At times this feels
wishful thinking, some forlorn hope
something to hold close
some delusional dream, a little
hiding space from reality creeping in
It's me, not you, anxious alone
scared, some doubt

All Our Little Words {conversations with Sky_Dancer }
Buried pain in wet pillow face
as for today;
lingering memories,
dreams overtaken nightmares
Drowning
asphyxiation in a deprivation tank
***
**
*
I'll hold you while you cry
just spoon a while
maybe days
I'm built for cuddling!
***
**
*
Heartbreak seers,
And doors close,
As new, you steadied me
Feet rooted, souls in the stars.
***
**
*
A healing of spirit,
To find a reflection
Of your own soul's beauty for cuddling!

Cycles and Circles {conversations with Sky_Dancer}
*********************************
fallen leaves sing for the snow
forget me nots in spring
summer sun flowers; brightest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
some winters blanket, some ravage,
in late summer's bloom spring seems yet unripe and winter too bare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as the bear hibernate, gored on salmon flesh, so to does the wolf stalk the frozen tundra, rabbits run and breed with out a care
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Silver moonlight, its cooling light falling like brushstrokes on a white canvas....

Lifting The Veil (With the lovely Sky_dancer)
Two shots,
whisky and rhyme
Two more,
hindsight and time
Chased down some Introspections
Woven between subtle connections
Vibrations felt through the very essence; time and space
Through fingertips,
heart and soul's boundless place
Just as the tide erases the footsteps of those previous wanders
of the astral shore
Cycles and circles beget universal seasons,
as pneuma; deathless endures
Illuminaries bridging dimensional rifts, beacons shining the path,
again
To a place of no...

As Above It So Bellow It
I'm the highway
the byway
that fly-by-night-away
The sage, paths of pain
atop the mountain top
Bodhi sattva shining a beacon
showing the way
Home where ever they roam
Illuminary light source through darkness
my soul recognises your soul
as another me
which is why I choose love
the byway
that fly-by-night-away
The sage, paths of pain
atop the mountain top
Bodhi sattva shining a beacon
showing the way
Home where ever they roam
Illuminary light source through darkness
my soul recognises your soul
as another me
which is why I choose love

I call my muse a slut
Filling up at the servo
came back to green machine (Ford 99 lazer)
big arse cheeky grin
What's up, you look like the Cheshire cat that ate the golden canary
Dude only charged me to twenty to fill up from empty
That's amazing, let's smoke a cone and some vitamins to celebrate
He mix up his taste, does his thing
I don't look this time, head off in the clouds, heart in.... love? , wanting off this hamster wheel? out of this penal colony?
Tosses me the bag, mix it with coke
down the hatch good stuff
Darkness...

What She Wants
It's hunting season
impaling impalas
high horsed helicopters
harpoon me if you will
aim ready trigger finger
wolf on the prowl
feast of the fallen
circulating vultures
cultivating coronary lies
honest dying breeds
driven to extinction
tread marks marked
jackbooted jackrabbits
RUN
while you still can
It's hunting season
impaling impalas
high horsed helicopters
harpoon me if you will
aim ready trigger finger
wolf on the prowl
feast of the fallen
circulating vultures
cultivating coronary lies
honest dying breeds
driven to extinction
tread marks marked
jackbooted jackrabbits
RUN
while you still can
It's hunting season

Song For A Crofters Son
He said I give you my heart be gentle
she trod him up and down, high heel stilettos
now its warm beer and cold rum
a fist full of callused knuckles
broken bar stools and shattered ribs
White dragons and angel dust
lead the way down smouldering bridges
all those coffin nails smoking like a chain letter
friends crucified on embroidery pins
casualties, fallen not forgotten
How long can you outrun self vitriol
freebooter can you chase the sun
romeo can you dance in the moonlight
can you forgive your self
crofters...
she trod him up and down, high heel stilettos
now its warm beer and cold rum
a fist full of callused knuckles
broken bar stools and shattered ribs
White dragons and angel dust
lead the way down smouldering bridges
all those coffin nails smoking like a chain letter
friends crucified on embroidery pins
casualties, fallen not forgotten
How long can you outrun self vitriol
freebooter can you chase the sun
romeo can you dance in the moonlight
can you forgive your self
crofters...

Look momma
Can't you see, he is dying
Laying there terrified in pain
Be gone child
this is no concern for us
He chose this life, just as the dying time
is for the alone
One day you will know this child
Now go learn your lessons
But momma why the hate
why let love die?
Laying there terrified in pain
Be gone child
this is no concern for us
He chose this life, just as the dying time
is for the alone
One day you will know this child
Now go learn your lessons
But momma why the hate
why let love die?
