Poet Introduction
I write but am wrong, am stuck but am stuck in song. Fong-kong-along-along-along.

: Ikigai No Asa-Go
Flow, serenity, a headache
Incisive questions
I stumble out of bed
On my knees
more questions
I ask myself...
Why did I get out of bed?
Coffee…
...and company.

The Truth
The Truth behind your sighs
tell a tale of a hundred grunts
shallow wimpers, mortal-lies
immortal-eyes
I forget what could be so important
about your escape
forget what meaning I find...
tucked behind, about, behind
a flight of fancy
turned a side
A flight
before
your fate.

A flight

Come To Me
Come to me
je t'aime.
I am broken
ready to open
Throwing caution to sin
caution to the wind
Tear me apart
wear me as a hat.
For all that is worth
you are quandry, not mine
divine, design
a tine out of place
You want me to love you
That is who I am.

A Tear Stained Heart
A part
from others
A part
from my self
A parting of lips
Kiss.

Solemnitude
Abbreviated
An attempt at desperation
A pulling down of the wool
over ones Eyes
Sties, Thies, Lies
Tries at Mortal Combat
Not fat but fact
A tesseract.
Mind Blown
Overthrown
In to disarray
Afraid
To Pray
To ask for a rememberance
Of a better haze of emotional
subtlety
bereft of mindful drudgery
Me.

Heritage
No-thing is corporeal
all is ethereal
Her-i-tage
Mem-or-y
Truth
Experienced.
A thousand years, a million
all now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
There is no future,
No where-to,
Come from,
Come to,
be
here
now.

Symmetry
Blasted symmetry
Simmer-tree, telemetry, hypocrisy and such
the concepts are quite nonsense
there's really not quite such
Left's not right and cannot be
but a shape or form refraction
a 'different' side, a 'different' world
for harmony to be in action.

Honey
Engrossed he felt every day getting colder
until she came in to his life
Bela moça, mon chéri
the sweetness
to his story.

The Watcher
The watcher
who is in the shadows
who encompasses the shadows
forgetting all that was told.

The last drops of water
The last drops of water in a cup
that’s what’s up
The drizzle on parched lips
that drowns the sorrow that is his
The last drops of water
whether for son
or again for daughter
The last drops of water in a cup.

A woman in mans clothing
Bought and sold
for penance told
She thought He’d be more bold
taller
stronger
firmer
louder
if she could accept his role
They’d marvel at his gait
they’d all want to be his mate
and all want to procreate
if she left behind, was cleft behind
accepted what she was told.
Who was she but She in He to be but not to be too much
as such was manifold.
