And green the way lush holds the moss

Against the weary soil unintended

Lowering darkness swallows me down

Where man goes to die

Gravely descending foot upon the other

From common sense of light

A decent of man from god

The cave is in awe

Of me, its dinner

And at a distant time,

I could reach and touch,

Everything that means,

So much to me today,

 

And at a different place,

I easily forgot,

About all of the hours,

That I've wasted away,

Observe now as

Hero turns coward

Century old pine -

Coffin or cupboard

Propane drenched moon

Flares up into Sun

There’s a nobody

Becoming someone

Pack of thug angels

Bullies meek sinner

A Warm Summer Wind

Through a warm summer wind

I sat on the porch gazing out

upon the nothingness I'd been

left with and my day began,

quite certainly as I began

to unwind a thought --

 

I looked up to a beautiful 'scape,

a strawberry blue sky

with clouds of cotton and creme.

T'would be a greater day

it seemed, if I hadn't dreamed

this very sight before.

I felt real fear today,

It scared me in a very, true way,

Cause I was so uncertain,

And open,

Letting my feelings come out,

And hoping,

That someone was there,

Real and who cared,

He said forever in a whisper traced across my ear,

Such splendor that word used to rest against-

My eyes pressed against their lids as I regain my spine

I long for the words to come back to my lips-

For the lie to quit my eyes and show truth-

Like spiders I feel his fingers crawling through my hair,

His breathe lava oozing down my face-

The pleasure of him pulling it back and drawing pain-

My back arches into him and I cannot pull away, or breathe-

Split Personalities?

I sit.

   Smoking.

Waiting for nothing in particular.

   It's hot.

    Sunset.

And I see a man that resembles his pets.

   Red Blonde.

   Two sizes.

Haha! Big and little!

   I stop...

    And think...

Does that mean this guy has split personalities?

   Maybe?

    I watch,

And they all three smile smug at me!

I.

Though I am sad and suffering

and my heart is but a second 

from death

I exit the realm of my thoughts

And push aside your convention

and form

Here I am entering a state of nuclear half-death

Regret

It is a constant jab to the secret place inside all of us,

Once you sit in the chair and the tube is tied around your arm,

It is only the initial stick that hurts.

Once the needle is inside, the pain lessens,

And sometimes you can forget about it.

But that doesn't make the invasion into us go away.

It still haunts, anytime the tide of my mind goes to the secret place.

A smell, or laugh, or name, or place,

It seems as though you can never get away.

The flower breaks the soil

And without toil

Reaches for the sun

But comes the moon

The cycle has begun

Seeds fall to ground

Rainbows and rainfall

The sun and moon go round

Faraway ears of corn hear

Small flowers breaking ground

The cycle again has won

As corn ears also hear

Shade has begun to fall

On a flower in the sun

 

Dani…7:30 a.m. today

Hot surfaces beginning to swell.

There are no separate roses, of the love, that tells the story, of the one God took to glory. There are no separate roses, of a love so strong; it threw me, before I even knew me. There are no separate roses, of the one, I stood for; so that God could bring his plans forth.

There are no separate roses, of the love that is still growing, of the one so long here goes it, that tells the story who knows it, of the love that’s ever caring, of the grace that I am sharing, there are no separate roses.

Another burial party is ready,

Very well trained, and oh so steady,

They obey their training to the letter,

No one could ever do it better.

They await the order, together to fire,

This time not to cause anyone to expire,

No, this time it is supposed to praise,

Their fallen comrade who the eulogy says,
