Hymn
All I want
Is all I need
And all I need
Is what I dream
And what I dream
Is what I love
And what I love
Is you.
Oh, you’re all I want
Because you’re all I need
And you’re all I need
Because you’re what I dream
And you’re all I dream
Because I love you
And when you’re in love
That’s what you do.

Is all I need
And all I need
Is what I dream
And what I dream
Is what I love
And what I love
Is you.
Oh, you’re all I want
Because you’re all I need
And you’re all I need
Because you’re what I dream
And you’re all I dream
Because I love you
And when you’re in love
That’s what you do.

Fantasy
When I move into my medieval castle
Surrounded on all sides by the undisturbed woods,
We get tranquil, unending, leisurely walks
Free from the continuously gnawing “I should”s.
Hours and hours of exploring the lands,
Strolling by the creek without any hassle.
Dragging along nothing in my hands
Except the old silver keys to my castle.
I’ll have three little kittens, a Siberian Husky,
A beagle, a rabbit, and a little iguana.
I can’t think of a rhyme, so here’s the word “musky.”

Strange Poem 2
Heaven sent the world to drown
In liquid pouring from our veins,
Our eyes, our lips, with magnitude
So great as though it caused us pains.
Flying lightly over clouds
Of wisps of wish that make no sound,
The messenger, Reality,
Comes hither where his eyes abound.
Heaven sent you on a quest
Through wondrous valleys running wild
And up past peaks of icy trails
From which you fall, a helpless child.
Embodied in a world so great
Are eyes of glass and vanity
That probe the tunnels, passing by
The havens...
In liquid pouring from our veins,
Our eyes, our lips, with magnitude
So great as though it caused us pains.
Flying lightly over clouds
Of wisps of wish that make no sound,
The messenger, Reality,
Comes hither where his eyes abound.
Heaven sent you on a quest
Through wondrous valleys running wild
And up past peaks of icy trails
From which you fall, a helpless child.
Embodied in a world so great
Are eyes of glass and vanity
That probe the tunnels, passing by
The havens...

Restlessness
All I crave is gone
If only for a moment.
I look around, and I see,
But I can’t perceive or make connections
To anything, and everything
Is just floating there, not in midair,
But where it is; all I see
Is what I see with my mind
Is an unbreakable cage.

The Love In My Dreams
It’s a man-a-phobia
No relationships
Thinking of you
Any of you
Makes me so sick
Being with you
Waking up to your body
Waking up to your smell
The smell of a man
A man in his entity
A man that is me
Not my true counterpart
But the one I have chosen
A fake, a phony
Not the real “one and only” –
It makes me sick to my stomach
Sick to my gut
Churning and twisting horribly
I want to throw up my intestines
Feel the bile in my throat
It sickens me
Sickens me
Sickening to be –
It’s...
No relationships
Thinking of you
Any of you
Makes me so sick
Being with you
Waking up to your body
Waking up to your smell
The smell of a man
A man in his entity
A man that is me
Not my true counterpart
But the one I have chosen
A fake, a phony
Not the real “one and only” –
It makes me sick to my stomach
Sick to my gut
Churning and twisting horribly
I want to throw up my intestines
Feel the bile in my throat
It sickens me
Sickens me
Sickening to be –

Crazy Lady
Let me tell you of all of the things that I’ve learned.
Some of them might seem a little absurd.
But I’ve been a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy lady,
For all of my life.
And so I’ll stand by you
Stand by you,
And all that you’ll ever do
Stand by you
I’ll stand by you,
I’ll stand by you,
I’ll stand by you.
Fall 2004
Some of them might seem a little absurd.
But I’ve been a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy lady,
For all of my life.
And so I’ll stand by you
Stand by you,
And all that you’ll ever do
Stand by you
I’ll stand by you,
I’ll stand by you,
I’ll stand by you.

New Poem
All I crave is gone
If only for a moment.
The world comes crashing down
And doesn’t make a sound.
It halts to a silence, as I sit here waiting
In frustration for something to come.
The truth
The truth is the only one.
I don’t know.
I don’t know anything,
I don’t know a single thing.
Can’t see past what I see with my eyes,
It’s not true, yet not lies.
There are no words to describe,
No descriptions to remember,
No memories to connect,
No connections to feel
In terms of this “real.”

Strange Poem (Apocalypse)
Oh heaven sent,
The earth is bound,
Drawn up by liquid hands,
Caught up in sound
So mundane, vile; I greet,
A pool of blood lies at my feet.
Oh someone look;
The world has bled,
Another layer yet to shed.
A sword run through
The heart and spine,
Two different flowers yet entwine.
Upon my head
So be the grief.
The failure covers like a sheath.
The holes to run through
Have been blocked;
The golden gates have all been locked.
So tell the villain
In thy sleep
To wrestle with the...

Innermost Desire
I’m never gonna get it
I’m never gonna have it come my way.
It’s never gonna reach me
‘Cause I keep thinking ‘bout it every day.
I glance at them all the time, and
Sometimes I’ll see them looking back at me.
And I’ll be happy…
Until the next day comes empty.
And jealousy, it clings to me
‘Cause I just wish that I could be
Everybody’s innermost desire.
Innermost desire,
‘Cause it takes me that much higher.
Innermost desire,
It seems so far away.
It’s not real love, I know, and ...
I’m never gonna have it come my way.
It’s never gonna reach me
‘Cause I keep thinking ‘bout it every day.
I glance at them all the time, and
Sometimes I’ll see them looking back at me.
And I’ll be happy…
Until the next day comes empty.
And jealousy, it clings to me
‘Cause I just wish that I could be
Everybody’s innermost desire.
Innermost desire,
‘Cause it takes me that much higher.
Innermost desire,

2004-09-05 A rush
All I see is clouds passing by,
Across a distant sky;
It’s hard to breathe
From inside a cocoon.
I swear I’ve never come out of the womb,
Trapped in a circular room,
And I can’t see.
I look into your face by the light
And what a beautiful sight
It seems to be.
Oh, but I could’ve changed it
As much as I could’ve escaped it.
And I can’t escape it for my life.
Because everything I perceive is a dream
And in reality, it’s hard to see.
All these intricate shapes are just a mass of blurred arrows to me, ...
Across a distant sky;
It’s hard to breathe
From inside a cocoon.
I swear I’ve never come out of the womb,
Trapped in a circular room,
And I can’t see.

And what a beautiful sight
It seems to be.
Oh, but I could’ve changed it
As much as I could’ve escaped it.
And I can’t escape it for my life.
Because everything I perceive is a dream
And in reality, it’s hard to see.

2004-06-30 Fragment, unnamed
Oh I know,
And I know,
And I know,
And I know,
What is per-
-fectly clear,
What’s for show,
How it’s near.
And I know,
As I sit, as I wait for –
Oh where is my life!?
And inside, you could find,
All you needed to know.
