Heartspoken (A collaboration with Diddi)
As far away as the constellations
as near as your heartbeat
Further than lost paradise
as near as your breath
As distant as Atlantis
as near as yourself.
Myself is so far
from here tonight
tell me which star
to follow , my guide
inside I die
as I think you know why
I'm hollow and broken
I'm lost in the sky .
You are never lost
For you have the skies
The width of the universe
New horizons beyond the stars
Never broken, never alone
To want is to hold within
Where heartbeats drum in...
as near as your heartbeat

The Love I never had
Full magic blows the incessant chant
of wants and needs unrequited
Love begin at a step where one
clap with one hand
the sound unheard
I beg a kiss not mine to take
I pledge a love you never wanted
I beg a life you could not give
Yet you gave you caved
in to my incessant discordant whine
You left in the night a year ago
a letter on your pillow
"I never wanted you, you know
I love another from the start
She left for life beyond my ken
so I took you, second best
Now she returns and want me back
There be I...
of wants and needs unrequited
Love begin at a step where one
clap with one hand
the sound unheard
I beg a kiss not mine to take
I pledge a love you never wanted
I beg a life you could not give
Yet you gave you caved
in to my incessant discordant whine
You left in the night a year ago
a letter on your pillow
"I never wanted you, you know
I love another from the start
She left for life beyond my ken
so I took you, second best
Now she returns and want me back

Happy New Year to Me
Gracefully gracing the chair
at my desk
In a room without light
Similar darkness in my heart
Eyes glazed as I wait
For that midnight call
A whispered hello
At least
Full powered smile on my face
A glass of juice on my hand
Expectation
Full 12 blast at midnight
I toast …Happy New Year
To me
waited...
Nothing …the phone plays dead
No sound
Nothing...no salve
for this heart
Another year gone
A few more steps towards beyond
Where I may meet you
Gentle breath of scent in Maya
Once...
at my desk
In a room without light
Similar darkness in my heart
Eyes glazed as I wait
For that midnight call
A whispered hello
At least

Alzheimer's
Trapped within the room
where I am
Knowing but not knowing
where I am going
Trapped within thoughts
Inarticulated through words
having thousands of opinions
just bubbling beneath but no vents
Trapped within memories
so sweet and tender
memories that tear one's heart asunder
Never knowing which one comes before the other
Spirit trapped within a cowl
With full knowledge of then and now
But waiting for decay to kill the prison
Once loved and cherish as a vessel of the soul
And that is my fear
Although the years...
where I am
Knowing but not knowing
where I am going
Trapped within thoughts
Inarticulated through words

Never knowing which one comes before the other
Spirit trapped within a cowl

Worst feeling
Loving him
Pining for him
Getting poo-faced drunk
and still loving him
Loving him
wanting him
Losing him
to another woman
Crying for him
Laying in the gloom
lost in daydream
in a padded room
worst feeling
is just a feeling
inside this body
of a none-entity
Pining for him
Getting poo-faced drunk
and still loving him
Loving him
wanting him
Losing him
to another woman
Crying for him
Laying in the gloom
lost in daydream
in a padded room
worst feeling
is just a feeling
inside this body

Love's Labour
Love's labour
Lost within the walls
of Ignorance
You think its over
even as I start to ponder
about the band
that bind
Love's Labour
My entreaties fall on deaf ear
You are blind as a wall
even as un-hearing
as a marauding troll
under the bridge of waking nightmares
Your scream of anger
of righteous rage
Fills the space of my heart
pokes out the eyes of my love
Kicks the bricks
and rend the universe of my life
Love's labour
lost in the infantile scream
of a lover's spurned
or so you...
Lost within the walls
of Ignorance
You think its over
even as I start to ponder

Kicks the bricks

Phantasmagorical consummation (In collaboration with diddi)
Eyes meeting across the room
entangled and entwined in another
realm, a world, our own our playground
where no other existence nor life matter
Feeling your breath mingling with mine
Your soul, your spirits your needs in your arms
A melting together, a fusion of bodies
In the very soul of wants
I see you like the notes of a song
We're with two people
so I know that it's wrong
My senses beating
with a lust very strong
My mind speaks to you
like my eyes are a tongue

Thirteen
Bubbles on the rim
of a beer glass
popping one by one
the world grows a little dim
the rim on my lips
I swallow all at once
the music sounds abrasive
the noise too loud
my throat seems too parched
down it goes the lovely liquid
the bottles swim
in golden liquid
the stars are twinkling
my mind goes languid
who cares, I am thirteen now
who cares, I am a big girl
I say to myself
as I walk out of the bar
cold air hit me
gasping I breath
open my mouth wide to inhale

End time
The world will stand still
there will be no noise
there will be no air
the sun will not shine
the moon will be high up there
still, in its grey glory
From the east the rustle of angels wing
will be heard while from the west anger trumpets
the south shall be quiet
as is the North
War
from the east silent death from the air
set free from a laboratory
from the west, trumpets of missiles, raining fire and iron
set free with human fury
War will triumph
and humankind will lose...
there will be no noise
there will be no air
the sun will not shine
the moon will be high up there

From the east the rustle of angels wing

as is the North

set free from a laboratory

Vigil
Abyss dark in the heart of mine
Looking in towards far infinity
of perpetual hurt in a bleeding heart
Dirges still toll through the passage of time
Heart's love held in captivity
of dark minds, feelings and thoughts
Looking still, and lost in time
Of endless waiting in this grassy glade
This land where darkness perpetual
reigns, and embrace the bloom
of unspoken words, unshared
Contained within this broken shell
Sighs rendered unto indifference
Tears unshed unshared shimmer
On eyes forever vigilant, watching ...

Euthanasia
Wife, where are you
Can you see me?
I can’t see you
Please come nearer
Hold me my darling
Let me die in your arms
My woman, my wife, my friend
Help me I want to go quickly
Out of that door
The door that swirls darkly
Inviting me away out of here
To a land, perhaps Eden
I just want to go
Allow me to leave now
I have done my part
I lived my life
I have sowed
I have reaped
I have multiplied
I have worshipped
I have blasphemed
And now I want to go
Leave this tired husk ...

Journey
I stood with you at the Tower of Babel
Looking towards the sky
We stood, proud of the rubbles
that now stood symmetrical
towards heavens
The blasphemed God thundered
In Babylon, once more we stood together
Loving the decadence of living
Drinking waters of ether
Shrieking against the gods
Until they answered
By the Ziggurats, towards the sky
They seemed to claw
Holding your hands once more
No lesson learned from before
The gods destroyed some more
You spoke in Unknown Tongues
Voices of Heaven
Shrouded in...
