By My Side
It was in those days of youth
When my emotions had held me loyal and true
And though a mountain range of obstacles lay ahead
I just knew that patience would eventually pay off
I waited and waited for her
But the choices we made carved a different path
And we went our separate and distant ways
Far apart and yet still closer to the heart
And it was after a decade
That upon seeing her face again I knew it was real
That ember never died inside of me
Remembering the emotion with all its intensity
Our time had finally...
When my emotions had held me loyal and true
And though a mountain range of obstacles lay ahead
I just knew that patience would eventually pay off
I waited and waited for her
But the choices we made carved a different path
And we went our separate and distant ways
Far apart and yet still closer to the heart
And it was after a decade
That upon seeing her face again I knew it was real
That ember never died inside of me

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...
Requested a booth for one

Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again

Descent
I crossed into transition
And you froze
I fell from no high estate
Into eyes
Certain looks
That lead at last to cleavage
Your capote
Waving red to rage the bull
Then pulled away
Side stepping the charge
In your custom made torero suit
How do you breath
In the clothes you wedge into
Designed and worn with purpose
Yet I'm the the one who's breathless
In Eden once was common tongue
Shared by man...
And you froze
I fell from no high estate
Into eyes
Certain looks
That lead at last to cleavage
Your capote
Waving red to rage the bull
Then pulled away
Side stepping the charge
In your custom made torero suit
How do you breath
In the clothes you wedge into
Designed and worn with purpose
Yet I'm the the one who's breathless
In Eden once was common tongue
Shared by man...

Dead Man's Hand
Sparks into the dark illuminated by frozen shards
The death hand has been dealt and I'm counting the cards
Aces, clubs upon spades riding eights with backs to the door
Hades dealt the last card an ace instead of a five of diamond settling all scores
The minotaur is no longer lost within a maze of our mind
Ariadne gave us just enough thread to keep us all in line
Only we wont be needing no Hercules to a appear and release us
Four years of fucking Persephone's cold pussy and the dead was more then enough
I wrote the Voynich Manuscript while...

Heaven Takes Away
Back then...
Granny had said that I was a particular child.
How I spent too much time questioning all
of the unreasonable things.
That I was tiresome to her,
when she'd take me to church, and
I wouldn't sit still while listening
to the nonsense of some mortal man
on a stage.
Because I could talk to God anytime,
without that interpreter giving me
his own version.
I'd tell granny, God doesn't see it that way.
She'd just shush me, sometimes handing me
a half-stick of gum...

looking back at just before the end ..
more had been born
than had died, although, my friend, all things
being equal,
I have no doubt that no one
survived ..

Rascal of Obtuse
With the solubles and ampoules of twilight's
equilibrium and anesthesia eclipsing my soul's
parfum and literary decadence archived in
manuscripts in the ossuary of my bones.
Tapping my tootsies in the disco's flashing lights
of my poetic obsession swapping BS with a
stranger in the manger of my oblivion
in an old Thom McAn shoebox. Listening to
screaming mermaids in my Odyessy
thumbing my nose at cold memories
manipulating my narcissistic rock, yellow
pages in my obsolescence as if the Mad Hatter
and rascal of my obtuse
equilibrium and anesthesia eclipsing my soul's
parfum and literary decadence archived in
manuscripts in the ossuary of my bones.

The Touch Of Infinity (Shapeshifter- Desert Warrior)
Two hearts that beat as one
Tender words spoken, easier said than done
Caution thrown to the wind
Emotions and feelings surrendered, a touch of love when our Chi's slowly blend
Euphoric rush, once my soft purrs and his throaty groans to ether we send
Holding tightly and steadfast this is our beginning, infinity has no end
He allows me to silently animate in my suspend, and emotionally recommend
In the cradle of our stolen moments
Words mingled, whispered, entwined
Eight, creeping to a celestial nine ...
Tender words spoken, easier said than done

Emotions and feelings surrendered, a touch of love when our Chi's slowly blend

He allows me to silently animate in my suspend, and emotionally recommend

crystal ball
one single moment
in the now
can alter a hundred
years forward
careful where you
proceed
lest the future
finds you a fool

my last
breath,

death came

and whispered
in my
ear all
the answers
to questions
about why
we
were here
and what
life was
supposed
to be
about.

Black Raven
Standing before The Gate of Secrets
Full Moon up above
The Red Planet hanging by it's side.
Wonder what they're talking about...
So close yet so far
tell me what you know Mr Moon
tell me your dreams
tell me your secrets...
the raven caws
as Mars falls behind The Moon
it's all a mystery waiting to be sloved
and the moon dances through the clouds
caw caw
says the raven...

Murder of Crows
We are all made of bloodclay
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...
at one with the earth
warm with all directions
wherever they may lead
Molded by measures of love
and the presence of hate
baked by life and
a cob oven sun
My sand brown eyes
with tearless vision
watch them form
circles of oblivion
hovering above my head
A halo of crows
coloring a black witch sky
waiting for me
to trip and shatter
But they misunderstand
the air and the beat
of the sun...
