For the Abscence of Fear....
•••••••••••••
More than mere arms outstretched...
my love hangs in the stillness, tethering to my sanctuary within you.
Giving what's bruised and broken...
the aching bone and flesh,
the doubting crimson vessel, and weathered marrow of soul.
Restlessness and insecurities
laid before you,
my hell collides with the beautiful solvent of your heaven.
Nurtured in such warmth;
like gentle rays of sun, ardor...

Memories
A lot of things would be solved if our memory could be wiped clean like a floppy disk. The first time your heart got broken the times you didn’t know what to say but you did but for the sake of peace you swallowed the words whole and they bypassed your digestive system and stayed . The days when your heart wasn’t in it or your mind but your feet took over one step in front of the other but life laid heavy and your strength was low . Now your memory has muscles that pump iron with your past when in the present something goes wrong and now you’re lifting two tons of ruminating and you’re...

I Thought You Were A Nice Snake
You had venom in your teeth
And smile
Yet I willingly bared my neck for you
And was surprised when you bit
And smile
Yet I willingly bared my neck for you
And was surprised when you bit

days, weeks, months, the pointlessness of measurements
some days my legs feel weaker than other days are such an arbitrary way of looking at things like, say, my legs, for instance

Warmth
Celestial glow;
illuminating warmth.
Cover me with your light.
Bathe my skin
with your radiance
and my soul
with your fire.
Awake in me
dormant desires
and slumbering senses.
Reignite my will
and renew my strength.
Energy-giving heat,
heal my heart
and expand my mind.
As I wait,
let your honeyed beams
permeate my very being.
Soften any rough edges
and purify me.
Cover me;
bring me into you
that warmth and light
might exude from me.

Harvey's Wallybanger
An open source
Allows
The course
To flow
Its water
Wheel,
And when
It's Harvey's
Wallybanger,
Things
For sure
Get real.

Healing is a Long and Twisted Road
When I started to heal
I didn’t realize how
Uncertain
It would feel
That the stages of
Self repair so clearly mapped out
By scholars
Felt like they hit
All at the same time
And as I began to
Search for myself
Unsure of myself
I’ve unsuppressed feelings
And they roar
And I want to scream
But I’m healing
And I need to keep level
Or I should be
secretly I’m still ...

Fight, Flight, Or Sing
Unlocked, finally
a watershed of melodious memories
An eclectic library
of musical remedies
that healed my
wounded heart
over and over
from the start.
Songs from 50 years ago,
still magically enthrall
and whisper that all
will turn out alright.
Waves of joy
permeate my soul,
when I hear Phoebe Snow
sing “Poetry Man” or Robert Flack
kills so softly my
melancholy.
I smile recalling
my ten year old self
belting out
“ I can't blame you for what
you're doin' to me girl
Even...

So sorry this happened to you (all)
I can't go out in public anymore,
I can't hear a song
Or watch a movie
Or TV show
Or even a fucking manipulative fucking emotional sucking commercial without crying so hard I can't say more than three words to anybody.
Even contrived human emotions, if they are real, are tearing me down,
For good,
For goodness,
For benefits for others...
It's the only answer I have for how I feel.

One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
Tears are there to restore you
Never hold them in
Never lock them in
Let them flow
Let them caress your cheeks
Wash you anew and set you free
One day as you read this don't let it destroy you
Never be afraid to cry
Holding tears back will tear you up inside
Take this little trick,
Cry in the rain so no one see you cry
Cry while you pretend to smile
It's unfortunately inevitable
It's part of this life
But never let pain steal your shine

Ballet Dancer
There’s a hole up in the roof, it’s where the truth is dripping in
an elephant within the womb so very hard to see
and green men in the forests who now panic ‘bout the trees
[
There’s counterforce prevailing that is failing in degree
since paradigms are wailing they’re unfit to change the ‘Quo’
as many clever people leave — they just don’t want to know
[
There’s giant bellows pumping air, a very strange device
that’s technified the Commons leaving people lost, marooned
who weep for missing children whom the devil wants to...

BAMF
Just give me my own corner
Where I can teleport to instantaneously
My secret escape hatch
Where I can catch Mother Nature
Bathing in the nude
Basking in this interlude as
Her perennial pervert
Unapologetic
Getting high off of the aphrodesia
Of Her fresh cut grass
Walking barefoot along Her trail of mountains
Listening to the muzic of Her rivers
Healing the Soul of a Man
One Sundown at a time
Tuck away somewhere in Her Forest
My honeycomb hideout
A space reserved for one
Where Eye get to ride out
These...
