Towering Silence
I have no right to you, don't know you
You're just a conjuring of words, like smoke
Signaling something more, yet distant
And I can feel the heat though we've never spoke
Time slows down in dreams, you know
As we try to hold that moment in our minds
Like an old photo, slightly out of focus
That still touches something deep inside
And you, if all my imaginings could be anything
Could be believing
Though I know not your voice in love, or even
Color of your hair, my dreams conceiving
I would touch you
Hand soft...

Decomposing Dreams
In the forest of souls
all fight for light
drink from the well
of rusted metal dreams
seeking truth
in liquid reflections
circling the drain
of rabid need
seeing the future
in lullabies consumed
where desires are talons
and nights bleed sin
in love with the ghost
of a fractured soul
whispering pain
only memories remain
echoing in the dark
that never was
haunted by violence
on god's TV
kissing lips
of a decomposing void
clinging to a ghost
that carries my name
all fight for light
drink from the well
of rusted metal dreams
seeking truth
in liquid reflections
circling the drain
of rabid need
seeing the future
in lullabies consumed
where desires are talons
and nights bleed sin
in love with the ghost
of a fractured soul
whispering pain
only memories remain
echoing in the dark
that never was
haunted by violence
on god's TV
kissing lips
of a decomposing void
clinging to a ghost
that carries my name

Be Set Free
"Be Set Free"
The wonders that thrive inside my mind
Anyone doubting me, I will leave behind
Come along I promise you an adventure
You have no pain measures of pleasure
Every meal includes macaroni & cheese
Ending war we all deserve to live in peace
Paradise in everyone's own shape & form
News from the headlines love your unicorn
There's a place where we can do anything
Together we restore balance of yang & ying
From now on children are safe in their beds
Board candyland express salads killed...

Never Thought That Way
As shadows dance embracing the night
midnight whispers caress the vines
in arabesque touching the flames
from your eyes of tempest depth
entwined in passions kept
I never thought of it that way
taming the flame...lusting
until morning light echoing silence
dripping down sharing moonlight
midnight whispers caress the vines
in arabesque touching the flames
from your eyes of tempest depth
entwined in passions kept
I never thought of it that way
taming the flame...lusting
until morning light echoing silence
dripping down sharing moonlight

Dear Reader
This must be what they talk about.
When they enter the fictional world,in and out.
So let us travel to a fairytale.
Written fully by ink.
It may not be real,but it makes you think.
Read this story as it evolves.
And we get rainbow clothes.
Our story eventually subsides.
After a thousand magical nights.
This story will end - so let's go to Neverland.
Write our story in this magical land.
I know there's adventures that await.
Let me be Wendy to your Peter Pan.
And use a glass,ink filled pen.
Promise...

A Bit Player In A Wayward Dream
I sometimes wonder
Whether
I'm just a figment
Of someone else's imagination
A non-existence
A bit player, in a wayward dream
I'm only real
Because the dramer perceives me as real
Therefore, i'm left questioning my own existence
Living within another surreality
Perhaps i'm a fairy
That believes in humans
But sees them as alien creatures
My ethereal escape
With wings
To float on the breezes
Thus avoiding the tempestuous storms
That lurk within the teacups of doubt
Of the nightmarish...

ode to a dream
I had a dream.
Not of grandeur or poverty.
Power or flight.
Race nor riot.
A dream of waking.
endlessly waking.
Sometimes sitting up in bed…
Then just waking.
Am I still there?
I may never know.
Or soon be there.
When the alarm's blare ends.
Not of grandeur or poverty.
Power or flight.
Race nor riot.
A dream of waking.
endlessly waking.
Sometimes sitting up in bed…
Then just waking.
Am I still there?
I may never know.
Or soon be there.
When the alarm's blare ends.

Mundus Intus Me
Souls and black holes,
haunting wide eyes,
shinier than coal.
Will never reveal
the secrets they stole.
Hearts and galaxies,
I've only just begun
to travel me.
Freedom burns in my bloodstream.
My mind and the moon,
share the intricate mystery
of the orchard's bloom.
Break me out of
yesterday's cocoon.
My smile and the sun,
warm light beams
that seek to stun.
Kindness spread
to everyone.
My dreams and the clouds,
fluffy wishes
to astound.
To despair,
I am no...

True story
I had a dream
you lined a container with strips of your grief
And every so often lifted a piece
or five
to your mouth and you chewed
The way you'd chew fatty bits of steak or the stringy aftermath of celery
Gnawing until your jaw tires
wondering whether you’d choke if you swallowed
In the dream you kissed me
and tongue-twisted a lump into my mouth
and as I gnawed you walked away
you lined a container with strips of your grief
And every so often lifted a piece
or five
to your mouth and you chewed
The way you'd chew fatty bits of steak or the stringy aftermath of celery
Gnawing until your jaw tires
wondering whether you’d choke if you swallowed
In the dream you kissed me
and tongue-twisted a lump into my mouth
and as I gnawed you walked away

Another Dream
The shadows are true to the sun.
Across the lawn they sway long.
Dancing in the cold wind white fluffy clouds push across the sky.
The burning bushes along the fence line shiver in the wind.
They have no fire in their branches, for their branches are bare.
I thought I heard Moses say something but it was just the house
expanding and contracting in the cold howl of the winter winds.
I am fading into wonderland leaving the present behind.
My dreams take me in and transport me to another existence.
It’s a night bursting with heightened anxiety.
I...

My "Ea" Series: Chapter III. The Great Music of Creation (continuation - 3)
In a clash of wrath that disobeyed
and unholiest display of power,
Melkor, in the dawn of early decay,
was rather deluded like a coward.
Angrily, the Ainur lost his vision,
passionate about his part,
he forgot it was Divinest Reason
that determined the heart.
Melkor tried so desperate to win.
The first ignition of eternal hatred,
yet is was a lesson, original sin,
for all would return to the Sacred.
So the first attempt was chatter,
prolonging the tones of the song,
yet every time he tried to alter ...
