Irreplaceable
I love you.
I will always love you.
Until the sky falls down,
And the sun turns blue.
You are in my heart,
For all eternity,
Where ever you fly,
don't forget to think of me.
...sometimes.
I will always love you.
Until the sky falls down,
And the sun turns blue.
You are in my heart,
For all eternity,
Where ever you fly,
don't forget to think of me.
...sometimes.

speaking to [my shame]
you were
just a 3-year-old girl
when your world
inverted
converted
to a bad little girl
when you hurt
your friend
defendant to
your own judgments
no forgiveness
only self-loathing
developing
idiopathic
craniofacial
erythema
melting
off my face in
perspiration and
hesitation
made reservations
in my brain for
shame and then
overdosed
on fear
I am a failure
disappointment
fodder for the gutter
manifested
years...

The Presence Of Man
Created in the image of the Divine
Superior creatures
With handsome manly features
Selfishly given of his rib
A man in the making starting from the crib
Playdough, marbles, Army men to command
Bow and arrows, playing all day in a box of sand
First day of school for the rest of your life
Parents looking down at your young face, years going by without strife
Preparing your mind for the day you take a wife
The first school boy crush
Swooning a girl with love letters to make her blush
High...

Indemnity
it is here we lay
beyond the facsimiles
human to human
embracing of hearts
cultivating compassion
forgiving in love
beyond the facsimiles
human to human
embracing of hearts
cultivating compassion
forgiving in love

Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-
and...

No Regrets
Saying that I'm disappointed
In love would be an understatement
Yet, I can't completely give
Up all hope of ever finding it
( I haven't got it in me)
What I've learned of love
Is simply that the heart
Can be broken time
And time again
Yet, it can remain intact
Harboring no regrets
For having loved
In love would be an understatement
Yet, I can't completely give
Up all hope of ever finding it
( I haven't got it in me)
What I've learned of love
Is simply that the heart
Can be broken time
And time again
Yet, it can remain intact
Harboring no regrets
For having loved

I never told you what you taught me
Hollow
It's hard to mourn
someone who was never really present.
Now that you're gone,
nothing much has changed.
Does that make you sad?
Good; now you understand.
Hide
I was just a kid.
Freeze
Stay silent
Be ashamed
You'll never know you're the one
who taught me
this world is not safe.
Heal
You cracked me open.
Light peeked in;
poetry poured out.
I wasn't ready
to be allowed to feel;
making art is making love

Expensive habits
Sometimes cheap habits are even worse than expensive habits. Please consider that when you are reading this.
And this one’s called:
Expensive habits
Jill smiles and winks for good measure
‘I am here to make amends
I’m destined for greater things’
And slid her hands down Lenny’s pants
His hands lingered a bit too long
On Jill’s creamy thighs
Hands are not supposed to have brains
But Lenny’s hands thought: nice
A marriage is just like cleaning
It’s a job that’s never done
So shut up, grit your teeth and...

Thugs of God
Standing on top
Of glamour hill
Typed tongues
Like bible pages
Dressed in black and white
Spewing ancient words
For the modern ages
Dealing forgiveness
Addicting the human race
Eucharist pills
Washed down in wine
Without a trace
Pass out the gold
Donation bowl
Cash in their sin
For a pass into the
Lambent land
Buying priceless souls
Dressed in grey
But I'm going to make
My own way
Build my own church
Made with my
Soul's kaleidoscope life

Deeper Than The Pelion
Deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent
deeper than the Pelion Sea
and still waters of twilight
sweeter than ambrosia
vanishing sins
aches and pains
exonerating the flame
of dark's misguided fools
while listening to the innocent

Moth
Let's pretend they don't exist
the monsters around us...
Let's let it rain
on our lawn.
Let's shut up!
Forget!
Sleep
forever.
Pretend.
