behind the quarry (with stars)
hes gone away
and he hasnt come back
and you looked for him in the far bushes
back by behind the quarry
with stars
you used to look out
sit on rocks
hes going away
and hes gone somewhere now
i cant point it out
i looked for him on the purple trail
the one that winds down the path where the ground meets
me at the other side
of the world
i dont know where he is

here
i am here
to create
to play and laugh
to meet with life
and leave with grace
i am here
to dance with life
to seek it
to laugh with it
i am here
to hear and listen
to speak , sing , scream
to cry and soar
to fall
and crash
and burn wildly

a caged stallion
i dont want to be part
of the modern misery
id rather
be free
to vulnerability
id rather
be running wild
by the fluidity
of an untamed, unyielding stream
of an endless
dream
permeating into every inch
of my being
to be a caged stallion
of all things
to break the barriers down
by any means
to feel the wind in my hair
the prickly weeds
my hooves ...

something darker
i fell to the arrows
darting at my soul
like the catalyst of what was
the petty promises
of the lasting woe
hold to me my dear
forgetting the fierce abandon
i held the world to my chest
just daggers
just shards
cutting like ice glass
bleeding my fires out of me
tooth and tarry nail
for the avail was the last breach
of armageddon’s magic dust
leaving the heart to ash
running again
fore the new day’s dawn brought
the crimson tides
blanketed by the haggard shields
that left us clear to see ...

are you?
are you
are you all of those beautiful things?
the trees twinkling and the
sky cracked boulders
resting in the earth
i remember the lack of a conversation
the guilt digging in my shoulders
putting out the fire of a cigarette
the one sided nature of the depth
of me
i couldnt touch your head in the sky
world cradled into you
somehow i was
the mess and you
were the cleaner of the cut
are you
those strong tree limbs
begging for a rain
or the strong wind to
feel alive

flawless
in the moon i forgive
learning to embrace
my weakness
and kindness
i do my best
pour water
drink often
as much as i can
and the thought is there
of goodness
and forgiveness
in a heart flowing
there is plenty
to love knowing
the world
mistakes made
only to learn from them
im not part of the seen perfection
but flawless in my own creation
of what is flawed
bent and broken
somewhat bruised
and shining
learning to be nobody
learning to embrace
my weakness
and kindness
i do my best
pour water
drink often
as much as i can

and forgiveness

sitting on a bench
sitting here on a bench
the world comes to me in all it’s wild splendors
the sun warms me, finally
drying me from the cold
i hear nothing but soft wind
my hair highlighted, golden
and when i close my eyes
its bright and blue
the trees are quiet, ancient , still
reflections of my life
paraded in their shadow
i am comforted by their mighty trunks
i have surrended to my mind
to the silence of these beings
it may be...

strange, you never knew
throughout the sky,
was it in my eyes,
as we faded into the rain
as we faded
through our pain
through the doorways we went through
sometimes ill find
a measure of me inside a measure of you
a tie that held us true
knit so neatly into things we couldn’t do
what is left to prove
i was at your ear
each time you needed me near
i was holding the fork
to each...

start over again
at the edge of a light
lies a little
life
with
the
strongest
strife
among
the tangled through
streets
of
dew
the mud the nasty dirt
the storms pulled
i walk away
un effected
yet
curled
inside the earth
i crawled
cold and
told
and sold ...

what i seek
i will only be

what coulda been
can you stand
alone
in the
mud
in what
was
us
in what
was
what must
can you hold
your fight
tight
like the
only knife
but can you
forgive
the
world
for what has
kept you
curled
when you reached
for the gun
