At Twenty-five (For Janis Ian)
Listening to Janis Ian's AT SEVENTEEN, I wondered
where the girl in the song would be and how she would feel just a few years later? So, I wrote...
AT TWENTY-FIVE (Dedicated to Janis Ian)
It was long ago and far away
the world was younger than today...
the popular girls put out...for free...at seventeen...
but never me!
Their Friday night's backseats in cars...
and getting sloshed in sleazy bars...
that was them! Not me! At seventeen.
At seventeem...I didn't know...
I had a lot of time to grow...
From ugly...

I was back in my village
had a plastic bag in my hand
looking for a bin to throw the bag away
in the house I once lived
An officious-looking young adult
I knew when he was a boy
told me I couldn't leave the bag there
I walked past a group of women
they saw me and whispered
since no one called my name, I walked on
at the old part of the village
I saw a café that looked like a living room
I asked for a glass of wine
A pleasant-looking old lady brought
a bottle, she called young wine
bottled...

this darkness isn't big enough for two
I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
trading scars and spilling darkness
like cheap cask wine
because alcoholics
don't buy nice things
and our souls don't know
how to aim for top shelf destruction
We are discarded art
half drawn and torn in strange places
I tried to tape you back together
but you wrapped me up
in your co-dependence
and I was too lonely to cut you off
because like every drug
that's picked me up to let me fall
you got inside and gave me something
I never...

Trust
Oval emeralds faceted by lurking shadows, held between milky pillars, staying centered within her marbled temples of broken.

You Scare Me.
You are the scariest thing
in the world to me.
Not because you, yourself, are scary.
But because I am utterly terrified
at the thought of losing you.
I try to comfort myself with the thought
that if you are gone one day,
that I will be fine.
I'll pick up my feet
and I will keep walking along.
Yet every day,
I think it'd hurt a bit more
to lose you.
I get scared sometimes
that I'll do or say the wrong thing.
Cause the last thing I want to do
is hurt you.

Stella Matutina et Tenebrio Luna
Such a caelestia creatura she is, her eyes are that of a viridi rosa bouquet.
With her brunneis capillos positus upon the backside of her head.
Her lapsus construction, and lapsa deambulatio, just add to her elegantia.
As he lays oculi in ea radiantia facie, he can't help but have a smile on his face.
He takes a deep breath and close his ocean colored eyes, as he speaks into the wind.
Vita Incantationis
As the wind carries these words within a soft breeze to involvent corporis mundi.
A curiosity of something not...
With her brunneis capillos positus upon the backside of her head.
Her lapsus construction, and lapsa deambulatio, just add to her elegantia.
As he lays oculi in ea radiantia facie, he can't help but have a smile on his face.
He takes a deep breath and close his ocean colored eyes, as he speaks into the wind.

As the wind carries these words within a soft breeze to involvent corporis mundi.

The rain stop today finally
I see the beautiful rainbow
That come out in the sky
After the rain
The sun came out
And it is now cooler
I am feeling cold
I need to wear my spring jacket
It should be fine
Finally it turned to be
A wonderful day
The rain cooled the earth
I hope it will stay that way
For couple days
I can't cope with the heat
The heat kills me
Because I sweat like a
Pig
That is true
I am not making up a history
Just to say something
I am not like that
I am...

I caught up with you my father
I caught up with you my father
With my prayers lately
Every single night I pray to you my father
I am sorry that took me some time to
Make some time for me to pray to you
It was because I was doing too much
With my life
And only thinking of me all the time
And also putting me first before you
I must tell you father that you are more important
Than me
And I will stop being selfish
Because to tell you the truth
I was not so happy with my life
And I wanted more material things for me
That I could never afford
Because...

almost
would you please
be my friend
I’m so lonely
a year past thirty
and I think I’ve been alone
where it counts
most of my life
no matter how I’ve tried
to be worth anybody’s time
that’s fine
I’ll do it on my own
as much as I can
but a one man band
only has so many hands
and I thought that family
was supposed to understand
I’ve run out of miracle plans
my heart caves in like sinking sand
so no, I won’t come
worship your god on Sundays
learn how I need to
suffer...

Mein geliebter GOTT
Mein geliebter GOTT
You gave us a wonderful world
For us to live
After you made heaven and earth
Also you had created us after you
Made heaven and earth
The earth you made it
Very well
With flowers by the ocean
Also by the ocean was plenty
Of trees
Some birds you made with your
Holy hands
They already fished their food
To eat
Now they are resting on the tree
Branches
And also singing for us
Their beautiful songs
I personally enjoy hearing the birds
Singing
Now the end of the day ...

I Cannot Forgive the Little Girl.
I don't think I'm actually healing.
I just walk around with the ashes of a little girl in a jar,
And I claim that she is somewhere better,
Somewhere safer,
And that she's okay.
When in reality,
She is locked within my bones.
How much she cries daily sickens me.
Those ashes are just a piece of her,
But her heart stills beats a broken tune.
She begs for me to love her,
But I cut her,
And tell her that I hate her.
When I do try to mend her wounds,
They are cut so far down through the bone,
I vomit when I feel them. ...
