I Don’t Want Perfect Love
I get that from the universe
Or God
Or whatever it is out there
That’s greater than anything I could ever be
I want messy love
Crazy love
Sweaty love
And yes, even broken love
The kind of love that doesn’t fit perfectly
But feels perfect
The kind of love the has fuck ups
And make ups
The kind of love that has voices raised in passion
And voices silenced by the beating of our wild hearts
As we map out every inch of skin
While gazing into each other’s eyes
Learn me
As I learn you ...

REFLECTION (mid 1990's, Galveston Island, Texas)
look broadly at the big mirror
see the big picture reflected there
do you see and feel only darkness and fear
or do you feel and see love
joy hope beauty and wonder
looking back out at you instead
quick
look around
and behind the big mirror again
do you still see love
at some point the big mirror will break
shattering into a thousand other
individually reflective pieces
where you will still see and be left
with only yourself and the big picture
in your mind and quickened senses
and hopefully love
joy hope...

Fear is GOD
Ants think grasshopper to be numen
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear

Disdain for you my sweet
Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend

Journey to the Stars
There are no more holes
to bury secrets.
Standing in the chasm between
body and spirit, I am unbroken.
Taking back my time, my being,
my every last piece that once was dismantled,
walking into a new life
here, or into another dimension
replete with love:
this is the measure of life.
Emerging in starlight as
dust to earth
heat to fire
breath to air
weightless to water.
My journey to the stars
may be long…
But it is healing.
to bury secrets.
Standing in the chasm between
body and spirit, I am unbroken.

my every last piece that once was dismantled,
walking into a new life

replete with love:

Emerging in starlight as
dust to earth
heat to fire
breath to air
weightless to water.
My journey to the stars
may be long…
But it is healing.

Unconditonal Love
love I've found comes at an emotional cost
when your heart is open and honest it can be beautiful
no one is perfect however
and no one gets along together all of the time
storms will come and they will go
unconditional love surprises me
to be loved no matter what, a shock
earlier in life emotional price tags prove too costly, for my broken soul
be the perfect kid
or your debt is due
get out, we no longer love you
I still struggle today with insecurity
thinking you will only love me if I remain beautiful to look at ...

Dreaming Desert
bolting storm.
night defined
by flashes of insight.
truth seems capricious.
is it something else
to honeybee or coyote?
fulfilling, foreboding
or light in flight,
like fairies dusting blue sky.
fact becomes fiction,
fantasy masquerades
as thundering reality.
beneath gray clouds,
realities fade
silently screaming.
unbidden truths
capriciously
lying in wait.

Diary of a Madman: Strangers
I'm in a train full of strangers
which takes me to a place of strangers
I will work there with yet strangers
who treat me as street rangers
They say it's dangerous
to place your trust in strangers
How strange it is!
For they themselves were strangers
I'm no stranger to strangers
I prefer strangers to them life-arrangers
If this venture is to fight strangeness
Then I'm adventurous
to show you what human nature is
which takes me to a place of strangers
I will work there with yet strangers
who treat me as street rangers
They say it's dangerous
to place your trust in strangers
How strange it is!
For they themselves were strangers
I'm no stranger to strangers
I prefer strangers to them life-arrangers
If this venture is to fight strangeness
Then I'm adventurous
to show you what human nature is
