Explorations
Too small to explore
the sea of the unknown:
island existence
breathing hell of darkness
dreading hungry excursions

Hollowed Breeze
Into your being, Aeolus blew
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...

i hate-You?
I hate that I was attracted to you.
I hate that you affect me.
I hate wanting you.
I hate it all you see.
It started off great.
It was so sweet.
A twinkle in your eye.
I shuffled my feet.
Then you asked.
I said yes.
You wore a suit.
I wore a dress.
The meal was nice.
The talk was brief.
Didn’t want to say goodbye.
Didn’t want to go to sleep.
The night was perfect.
Intense was passion.
...

Sleepover’s (What girls talk about early teens)
Cast: Julie, Francine, Gloria and Mei
Mei
I love romantic movies—the happy ever after and the kiss.
Francine
Nope. That movie was dry. There was no tongue in that kiss
Julie
You always want tongue, Fran. I think your hormones need to be leashed
Gloria
Not my kind of movie
Fran, Julie, and Mei say at the same time
Of course not. No girl-on-girl action.
Gloria
Well, I know what gets me going, and that was not it.
Mei
I heard that Joey will make a play for you, Fran. ...

Checking Out
I can't think anymore
My head is a room swarming with cockroaches
Can you please exterminate me?

Playing with Fire
I feel her unravelling me
she stirs my senses like a siren
as I bathe in the depths of her swirling beauty
her timeless affection
melts away my defences like butter
I feel her warmth
glowing like amber through my soul
in the milky silence of night
she touches the essence of me
and I let her into my heart
she stirs my senses like a siren
as I bathe in the depths of her swirling beauty
her timeless affection
melts away my defences like butter
I feel her warmth
glowing like amber through my soul
in the milky silence of night
she touches the essence of me
and I let her into my heart

Something or Other.
I'm always at my best.
By myself.
And, if you plumb these.
Fathomless depths.
Of my inner life.
You'll find all of my.
Hyperbole.
I use to comfort me.
I coulda been something better.
Than a failed poet.
Who never wrote a good word.
At least I like to think I tried.
But, really.
I was just screaming at myself.
An empty head full of pointlessness.
Facts, theories, ideas.
Tepid facile fraudulent half thought out fantasies.
And, my friend.
If you find yourself in my...

And, if you plumb these.
Fathomless depths.

You'll find all of my.

Everyone is Human
Hold on
Your trying to tell me
That all people
Have a heart
That people are
Human
OH I agree
But your talking about
The physical
I'm talking about
The psychological
That means Everything
YER dumb shit
And you go to university
Unbelievable
To have Morals
Controlled Empathy
A little fucking Humanity
These things
Weave a Heart for you
Without these things
You Have No Heart
Your trying to tell me
That all people
Have a heart
That people are
Human
OH I agree
But your talking about
The physical
I'm talking about
The psychological
That means Everything
YER dumb shit
And you go to university
Unbelievable
To have Morals
Controlled Empathy
A little fucking Humanity
These things
Weave a Heart for you
Without these things
You Have No Heart

I hear you talking in your sleep
I hear you talking
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you
In your sleep
It is quiet annoying
Because I am
Also trying to sleep
And its you
That keeps me waking me
Up
I don't appreciate that
I am being firm with you

Out There
It's sunny and warm
Outside
But within one's walls
Of flesh and bone
Surrounded
By wood brick And mortar
Trying to figger out
Sometimes
Why the fuck is it
So cloudy
With patches of cold dark rain
In Here
When one looks a little closer
There's a crack in your world
And along the Edges
Of all these cracks
Denial is Screaming
At the Cold Hearted Facts
That all these cracks
Are always written
In Your Name
NO one...
Outside

The Midnight Marauder
In midnight’s quiet hour, she lies at rest, body aching unable to sleep, the air musky with desire, Cool sheets wrapped around her breast, like a snake slithering around her, coiling her and wrapping her nakedness, she moves slowly, sensually feeling the soft fabric tickle her skin drifting in and out of sleep.
The room is still, no breeze to stir, quiet enough to hear the clock beating , tick tock tick tock, O how she loves the sound of a big clock beating, but unaware something wicked draws to her.
A daring thief comes through her window, his hunger for her...
The room is still, no breeze to stir, quiet enough to hear the clock beating , tick tock tick tock, O how she loves the sound of a big clock beating, but unaware something wicked draws to her.
A daring thief comes through her window, his hunger for her...

1990
I don't remember anything
About 1990
Because it is a long time ago
And I must say that 1990
Went away 20 years ago
From my life
And the world that we live
Every single day
Here on the planet earth
About 1990
Because it is a long time ago
And I must say that 1990
Went away 20 years ago
From my life
And the world that we live
Every single day
Here on the planet earth
