Closeness
You’re somewhere close by
You’re watching
You’re waiting
It’s okay
I’m waiting too
I’m here only for you
We’ve met a thousand times before
We’ll meet a thousand times again
Yet I can’t remember what your face looks like
But I will know it when I do
You’re watching
You’re waiting
It’s okay
I’m waiting too
I’m here only for you
We’ve met a thousand times before
We’ll meet a thousand times again
Yet I can’t remember what your face looks like
But I will know it when I do

Obstinate Patterns
Beware, his eyes
Dissociated, I can’t resist
Oh… the deep, spellbinding indigo
Those waters run deep, like my own scars that outline abused veins
No tears, only oceans
He summons waves that drag my ankles into another world
His world, familiar
I know the place as if it were my own
What a life to live
In shadowed swells
It’s not that I can’t tread water
There’s treasure in the trenches
I could never dive there again
So I wait on a sandy shore of uncertainty
I could dance with fate elsewhere
But destiny...

thorns and kisses
Oh lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud! I fall upon the thorns of life!
I bleed!”—Percy Bysshe Shelley
and when i saw your perfect teeth,
i thought, how awesome for the perfect bite!
may they not bruise the kiss beneath
the sheathing of their canine-sparkling white.
a honeybee upon the wing,
no less resplendent than the mouth of you;
so cock-sure with its venom sting,
while foolish men get stung for honey brew.
so, too, the dark-red dew-clad rose,
enticing fondling hands to blow her horn,
while, underneath her...

She's the one
Times were slow,
they could be changing
My life could use some arranging
Now's the time to have some fun
Falling for that special someone
You could open a hidden world
To reveal that hidden pearl
Life it has it's unknown joys
Hidden deep by little girls and boys
Reaching deep into hazy minds
Amazing wonders you may find
Life is a one way street
If by chance, baby we should meet
If I needed a helping hand
To lie, to steal, to take the stand
I know it's you babe, I know it's you
Guide my ship through...

I Wish I Felt You Not
In our night lit with
torn, gin-stained stockings
bound by realized requests
diluting to the undesirable;
enmeshed within roles we
resisted, and yet yearning for
but where we began, in the
wholeness of hope-soaked,
faraway love; nothing less.

At your local auto store
People are like oil filters,
after 5,000 miles or 6 months,
you should replace your lover.
Over time people build up,
harmful, abrasive, sludgy bits,
that will find their way into your heart.
If not replaced as instructed, those toxic pollutants may kill you.
So remember,
keep your organs and psyche clean.
That's my message to you...Guaranteed!

No Distant Lands
All of the men who befriend you
they aren't looking to wed you
Some will break or try to bend you
And it seems all they want is to bed you
It's easy to want to detach, fall into despair
You're all alone and wished you didn't care
It's easy to believe everyone's got someone
Who is going to end up being true
Except for in the case of lonely little you
You don't have to go to distant lands
To find someone you can care for
It's better to believe there's a good man here
Who's looking for somebody like you
they aren't looking to wed you
Some will break or try to bend you
And it seems all they want is to bed you
It's easy to want to detach, fall into despair
You're all alone and wished you didn't care
It's easy to believe everyone's got someone
Who is going to end up being true
Except for in the case of lonely little you
You don't have to go to distant lands
To find someone you can care for
It's better to believe there's a good man here
Who's looking for somebody like you

Catch and Release
Baited by a thought
The molest of exploited immodesty
It’s buy one body get one soul
When attraction is an overpriced commodity
Two edges of the same fight
When flirting on the fringe
Responsibilities thrown to the wind
Sedated by these images
Fed through the minds syringe
Subtleties of seductions lure causing us to bend
Hooker, lie, and drowning
Adulterated hearts
Tricking for cheap affections
Reputation suicide
Sell yourself for parts
We melt like water soluble metal
When integrity is poured...

time spent with you spent me
time spent with you
was a Rorschach test
of never being sure
of what I was seeing
time spent with you
was a game of chicken
and seeing which one
would blink first and
swerve out of harms
way
time spent with you
was playing Russian
Roulette on a doomed,
drunken night where
the bullet was the only
winner
time spent with you was
a monkeys paw where
dreams and wishes came
out twisted, bloodied,
backwards and
useless
time spent with you ...

HEY!!! Where did I GO!
if you need to
see yourself
in somebody's
else's eyes
just make sure
the other person
isn't shortsighted
