I’ve been turning this over, and
over, (and again) in my mind. It’s been lingering, slowly waiting in the
crevice of my mind… mind yourself. Mind myself. Mind the people in the other
room and you whisper, “I’ll think of you tonight.” And I know that you couldn’t
tell a lie to me, and if you did, in my delusional state, I would willingly
believe you. You. You are here and there and everywhere to me. Creeping ,
watching, brooding, speaking to me through songs that you spoke of once before.
Speak, speak. Clandestine conversations of lust and power and sorrow and-...

Fall into me.
I've been waiting for a reason
to explore the unknown.
Take the time
to be consumed.
Find a reason
to be swept away.
Ditch tomorrow
to be drawn into the night.

Fall into me.
I've been searching for an answer-
for my insatiable living.
Delight in the now
and overlook the anguish of tomorrow.
Stay tangled in love
and forget the hate that engulfs us.
Slide for a moment
and disappear with inevitable intentions.

Gypsies dance lullabies
over my head... my
Words, are slipping, slipping-
past your ears.
Can't we keep time, keep up, keep still
Dragging me down,
suffocating the light,
the meaning,
the purpose of why and how.
I feel,
I do,
I go simplistic, bare.
I-need moves.
I-need what I-need
and I-need
this.

Slowly, passing these windows
The windows
as I'm passing
Time- and it follows me
unknowlingly.
Pit-pat; solid, intense,
Acknowledging this crash and that
Savoring every word
It's hard
to come across,
This and that becomes
a revolution.
Pick me up, tie me down,
I'm floating space mines
back home.

I was lonesome
in the neon lights, entertwined
with lonely people searching-
not an end in sight.
Music was pulsating
my body, and vibrated a smile
on my lonely face.
