You made it sound so sweet and loving in my memory
When your hands held my face, nails digging into my cheeks
Inspecting my face with a saccharine smile on yours
I was a child unaware you were looking for the gypsy
I'm your first grandchild and you inspected me like cattle
Stamping me effortlessly with being not gypsy enough
Expecting me to be as dark as my father with an irish mom
Never ceases to amaze me when people do that
Look at these little kids like they're just supposed
To look just like their dad's right out the womb
You...
When your hands held my face, nails digging into my cheeks

Stamping me effortlessly with being not gypsy enough
Expecting me to be as dark as my father with an irish mom
Never ceases to amaze me when people do that
Look at these little kids like they're just supposed
To look just like their dad's right out the womb

The delusion of demise
If there were to be a place beyond the trees to escape and never be seen again
Would you go?
If I could I would
To disappear without a trace
Or hint that wrong has occurred
Where the day with light can remind
At night the present to which
Luminous internal presence can live
Outside of what can be seen
Where being and being go forth
Untill no one acceptance reached circumvents the path of glass tread
Broken glass
The end to containment
To let it out
To let it go
Commitments fulfilled
Commitments unfulfilled...
Would you go?
If I could I would
To disappear without a trace
Or hint that wrong has occurred
Where the day with light can remind
At night the present to which
Luminous internal presence can live
Outside of what can be seen
Where being and being go forth
Untill no one acceptance reached circumvents the path of glass tread
Broken glass
The end to containment
To let it out
To let it go
Commitments fulfilled
Commitments unfulfilled...

Neath Pits And Stems
Neath pits and stems of turnips
and mountains of pumpkins
though I have forgotten
and then some
who is picking night bones
and which side to sleep on
when saying my prayers
sliding down the stairs
as the crickets violin and dance
whispering in my ear
beware of snapping turtles
weaving cat cradles
neath pits and stems of turnips
and mountains of pumpkins
though I have forgotten
and then some
who is picking night bones
and which side to sleep on
when saying my prayers
sliding down the stairs
as the crickets violin and dance
whispering in my ear
beware of snapping turtles
weaving cat cradles
neath pits and stems of turnips

freedom
i'm asking for a box,
for guardrails for myself.
keeping me inside, safe
my soul - held back by locks.
in a world where everyone aches for freedom
i fear what's mine.
without control i'm floating around,
while everyone seems to know how to live
i'm busy figuring out who i am.
my world haunts me,
everything is mine but i don't know how to use it.
my world haunts me, makes me delusional - because freedom, i found,
is just as depressing as being held down
if you don't know what you want to be.
for guardrails for myself.
keeping me inside, safe
my soul - held back by locks.
in a world where everyone aches for freedom
i fear what's mine.
without control i'm floating around,
while everyone seems to know how to live
i'm busy figuring out who i am.
my world haunts me,
everything is mine but i don't know how to use it.
my world haunts me, makes me delusional - because freedom, i found,
is just as depressing as being held down
if you don't know what you want to be.

217F845.
On our way,2 our destination.
Sky high,strapped in,on=217F845,Shite flight.
You calmly,laid on me,
That you didn't think that we,were working out.
Immediately, I asked why.
You,devishlessly,
Placed your write hand,
On top of my write hand,
Squeezed it,tipped your head up,
And staring write in my eyes------------
----------
----------
I never did get 2 find out why you thought we wasn't working,
As,
Flight=217F845,
Fell from the sky.
As I said. It was a Shite flight!

The horse has bolted
The bronze steed
Bright eyed and bristle browed
Waving at the door
Beckoning to you
Desiring of love and affection
He craves your heart and your touch
but also freedom, not containment
He swaggers around the paddock showing off
And gallops waywardly towards you
Then trots blithely away to faraway lands
To drink and laugh and love elsewhere
You attempt to unpick the story
Catching your reflection in the corner of his amber-flecked equine iris
He is in your blind spot
He bolts away and sets you free but ...
Bright eyed and bristle browed

Then trots blithely away to faraway lands

Drowning
Another sunrise I wake to alone
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...
Tell me my love
What's the purpose in this again?
You're in the next room but may as well be on another planet
The distance between us screams
How do I fix this?
I wouldn't know where to begin
The further you drift away
The more desperate I become
I can't pinpoint where I lost you
My only relief from this torture
The smoke I inhale... within seconds I go numb
Just going through the motions
Two strangers co-existing in this cold and lonely house
My skin starting to rot from your neglect ...

Intriguing
Five white cops
Arresting a black man for no reason
And beating him to death
Ok: racial overtones sky high
Five black cops
Arresting a black man for no reason
And beating him to death
I am stunned I don't understand
Arresting a black man for no reason
And beating him to death
Ok: racial overtones sky high
Five black cops
Arresting a black man for no reason
And beating him to death
I am stunned I don't understand

A Life On The Waves
Today
I waved
At a Moroccan lady
Or
A lady in Morocco
She however
Didn't wave back
But this was due
Largely
Because
She couldn't see me
I thought
She was on facetime
So i was waving
At a phone
How we laughed.....

Sunlit
I stared into those glassy eyes
and I cried cried cried
my tears dripping right inside
wishing to make them alive
even for a single second
I craved to fill the emptiness
to find the missing bond
feel less of the mess
then I closed them lids
as if sleeping they would say
but they felt heavy amidst
this forsaken sunlit day
I heard chatter from afar
gibberish and some laughter
I could not make sense at all
of this forever after
they lowered the coffin
deep into the ground

It Was During A Photo Session
Toby walked into Robert's
photography studio
in time to see him take some
pics of Leslie for some mag.
But then, eyes grew wide when Toby
saw Leslie lick her lips slowly.
"Toby, are you okay?" was
what Robert asked which snapped his
brother out of it in time
to see Leslie's confused look.
