bitter wine
distractions dance the night into day time
breaking miracles across the horizon
as this bitter wine
shatters into colors of sun rises.
lucky onlookers are too naive
to appreciate this glory
but the colors are so disco
it sounds truly moody
how the clouds drip down
bitten by endless miles
i taste what's in front of me
it's tasting hated
i'm drinking it anyway
Bittersweet evermore
fermented apple core
droopy smile,
distant eyes,
i told you dont die
but you were too shy
i was so lonely ...
breaking miracles across the horizon
as this bitter wine
shatters into colors of sun rises.

it's tasting hated
i'm drinking it anyway
Bittersweet evermore
fermented apple core

Pslam of Celebration
In the long sunsets of summer,
in its warmth and generosity, put
a little bit of salvation aside for me.
Place it in a small jar and store it
gently away on some shelf in the
kitchen pantry where I can find
and use it when when all of life fails.
Bring me redemption in the faces,
voices, movements of those around
me, be they friends, family, or the
old man sitting across from me
reading a book. As they live their
life, I live mine. And in that living
eternity smiles.
Let holiness be a rare...
in its warmth and generosity, put
a little bit of salvation aside for me.
Place it in a small jar and store it
gently away on some shelf in the
kitchen pantry where I can find
and use it when when all of life fails.
Bring me redemption in the faces,
voices, movements of those around
me, be they friends, family, or the
old man sitting across from me
reading a book. As they live their
life, I live mine. And in that living
eternity smiles.
Let holiness be a rare...

Why the best thing in life have to die
Someone tell me why,
Why the best thing in life have to die?
We were perfect,
We were magic.
You and I were like fire.
Burnt so bright never thought we'd die.
For a second there I thought we'd withstand the test of time.
Whatever came our way we'd withstand the tides.
Deep inside I know we tried.
We gave it our all before we lost the fight.
We both lost our fingers before letting this go.
Wherever you are just know I still care for you.
If possible I'd leave everything behind Just for you.
When we made love we...

Searching for the exit
It was your last lucid activity.
Your agitated night-wandering,
your perplexity growing to anger,
to the terror of a lost child.
It seemed so unfair,
undignified
that we could trick your once-keen scholar’s mind
by hiding doors with a curtain
or a picturesque coat of paint.
Still you searched,
you fretted,
you even fought
with all your Navy Frogman instincts
And fearsome as that was, I grinned with pride,
even as I admitted we had to let them take your fight away.
And now I’m glad, Dad,
that you...

I Can Fly in the Desert
I didn’t notice I was floating
Even though I knew I was weightless
And the air grew thinner above me
I didn’t see the lilacs below
Where they’d once touched my feet
No.. I didn’t see them
Or the cascading mountains
That held the wasteland in a sandy cage
I was taller than the peaks of them
But nothing occurred to me
I didn’t know that I was ascending
Into a fresher, clearer atmosphere
I recollected something, as the sun fell under the pastel horizon
I’d found solace in the distance
And freedom in the blooms...
Even though I knew I was weightless
And the air grew thinner above me
I didn’t see the lilacs below
Where they’d once touched my feet

How to Forget You
I will fill my head with the verses that speak through every withered bone, replacing thoughts and pictures I was hiding
“Chase them out,” I say
My mouth will tell a better story than the one you read so slowly
And closed the chapter with your lips
Today, that story is replaced by a newfound realization that I exist on more than lines of a page
Finally, I will shut my eyes away from letters, gifts, your body
To keep them in the dark, where they will stay. I’m opening up. To find the things that I once loved. Distractions have been eliminated. I’ve...

That time you missed my birthday
That’s when I grew up.
It’s when I knew
I didn’t figure in your plans
or rise to your consciousness
Time to put on the big girl pants,
get on with life on my own
So I did
with a vengeance
turning aloneness to fierce independence
wearing shame shamelessly as bravado
Maybe I miss all that could have been
if I had really mattered in your life.
Maybe -- but I don’t know --
I can’t imagine it anymore;
I don’t.
Maybe I’m grateful
You set me adrift
….set me alight….
Although your memory...

Acceptance
I was always a little bit shy,
Never understanding why
It's been so difficult to vocalize
My inability to socialize.
"You do just fine!" they always say;
Yet, I can’t keep these thoughts at bay:
'Don’t talk to me, just stay away.
Come back again another day.'
As the anxious feelings grew,
And from society, I withdrew;
I began to question my behavior
Trying to be some kind of savior.
I pondered every diagnosis
From depression to psychosis,
And convinced myself that...

Innocent
With these sins within my mind
I find it so very hard to find
positive thoughts that I had of mine
Synthetic smiles,
Underestimated lies,
predictable lines I said to find
Out if you’ll leave me alone
innocence it’s so artificial
It makes no sense
Why I missed you
You Asked for help
Said i can’t do it
Now I’m alone
The Feelings are gone
Time took too long
What I was feeling was wrong
praying on clocks but it’s still so slow
so I can go and sleep among
These dreams that are only mine ...
I find it so very hard to find

You Asked for help

The Feelings are gone
Time took too long

These dreams that are only mine ...

Birds
Scavengers of the skies
Picking parts unbroken
Clinging to working pieces
Taking what you want to see
Selectively biting me
The light you love
Complexly created
Crafted in darkness
Every part REAL
Every part FEELS
Wars are waging within
To be the man that I want to be
Yet the past has claws
It rips and shreds
I stumble and fall
Each falter
Each flaw shown
Another bird flees
A world...

DAY TURNS INTO NIGHT
I kept going,
I kept growing,
as the years went by.
I stopped crying,
I kept trying,
knowing all of us will die.
I felt like screaming,
but I kept dreaming,
it would all be okay.
If I kept caring,
if I kept sharing,
maybe then I'd find a way
To keep coping,
to keep hoping,
without holding on so tight.
To let go,
to just know
day turns into night.
So I keep living,
I keep giving,
with each rising of the sun.
I keep healing,
I keep feeling,
love for everyone. ...
