Fly Home
Steady the relation between us
For now...
But what of then and now?
When my loss and salvation lie in hand
A pendulums swing from collision
Speeding up as we approach impact
Preemptive...
Too eager to just let me go
I fear upon my flight's return roost's sanctuary will house me no longer
I will fly away, pausing restlessly...
Wonder is all I am
Until again we feed
Will I ever be home?
-The only way to silence a beautiful bird is in a cage....

Indifference
Indifference is beautiful
It does not judge
It does not care
It simply is.
My beautiful, impartial, undivided and unalterable whore
I love you

Stand Alone
You stood there in the distance. Shimmering...
The horizon above you and all the heaven's applause at your back,
I marveled at your seemingly ambient perfection.
Silent and cool
Naked you stood powerful and free -You were my idol
A savior without a name/A hero in the shade! ...But your light was dazzling
It was majestic in a simple sort of way and I love you but it's incomparable...
When I looked out at you it seemed as though the earth had spanned out before me... Both magnifying and complimenting your own beauty.

Man In The Mist
This music has a sort of calm that makes him fade out of focus
To slip on his static over-coat and trudge on through the night
The hems of his "coat" billowing out behind him like a shroud
Static black in shimmering absent oblivion...
His purpose fulfilled

Bitch
I feel somehow that they have mislabeled you
Perhaps just penned you in the wrong ink...
I'm not sure
It seems when I try to describe you, the idea goes sailing away and never anchors home
Slippery one might say...
As the man crawling beneath a rolled-over vehicle, slathered in blood and puke
Like the words that had beckoned to him "C'mon let's go for a ride..." now thoroughly lost
Nothing more then a few grueling moments in agony before it was just a memory and a phrase that didn't quite seem to fit...
Unreal....

Guilty Confession
I wish I could explain how your failure disappoints me...
How I somehow feel stained by your fault
Tarnished-- My regret filled shame washes over me in a suffocating wave
All but destroyed my heart lies stricken on the ground before me. Lifeless...
My love for you has beseeched me and not even my own choices can save you now
I feel that now without words to further express myself I am left with nothing
Nothing more to say or do or become... I have lost everything

Admirable Trash
As I approached this new anomaly I couldn't help but notice how seamlessly it danced...
Flowing through the street like a land-based whirlpool with the elegance of a veteran ballerina
It's distressed white plastic tutu left drifting freely, spinning into a pirouette in spite of it's singular audience
A defiant weed between sidewalk blocks--It's simple presence is a bolder then life statement

Behind The Curtain
She's right there... --My friend I mean
She doesn't have much to say but I can hear you now
Grey innocents in lieu of child-hearted tragedy...
I'm sorry.
I never knew you had made these plans for me now
Could you find it in your heart to condemn your love for me?
Just this once?
Fading white I feel we may never stray past this point...
As though when I turn the page the story you had tried to show me will be lost
Alas...
What have I now but a passing traveler's blessing??
Running...

I Vow To Be Free
Upon this parchment I scribe a vow...
To never turn away even if it burns my eyes to look...
To go on with-out fear of failure and to cast all doubts aside...
A vow to be ignorant of this plague of ignorance!
I solemnly swear that I will spit in the face of prejudice indignity and deface the figure-heads of unimaginative creationism
...And I will not back down nor shall I be deterred from that which is inspired!
I shall embrace freedom to it's fullest extent and will die upon compromise of that which I have deemed sacred.
This...

Sunday Oranges
Delicate tang spritzes the air with a sunshine kiss
Peeling so gently it's lady-like tenderness is an elegant tea party with white gloved fingers and daisies on the mantle
Her majesty will be pleased!
A romantic encounter of citrus delight and sun-bathed security in ever loving om and happiness
A candidate as sweet could never be asked for such a casual Sunday outing and for you my dear we are but a shared slice of raspberry accented pie
So powerful but yet so softly subdued...
Like piano ballads or string quartets it is here simply for...
