Sittin on jacks,

Trying to make a dollar,

Outta scooby snacks...

It carried a thousands swords,

waging internal wars.

Questions of

Love's 

Tender, bitter hatred.

(The moment's never faded)

"Caress me with a fantasy?" I ask,

Soon drowned in an empty flask,

Begging for 

 

REALITY:

 

Lies placed tactfully

Decietful tastes pressed upon the lips

Of an anti-mistress,

Slips of the "L", 

And a pale 

Smile.

i'll drink your blood like wine, be completely mine.... thats the way to do her, me lad!

back bacon and all the rind. follow all those ancient greek star signs

the graphic taste dispelled from lips parted and smoke rises

i'll devour you in all different sizes, delectable and fashionable chunks

like the crunk and the slum you are disgustingly beautiful, photographic

im in the business of lovin it all, the world and a particular girl(red dress)(pirate chick)(aphrodite herself) all in one and one for me. take it to 'em

Importance Is not Grandeur

It’s important to walk on grass with bare feet
important to smell sweet magnolia blossoms
important to spend time talking
long conversations uninterrupted
it’s important to sit here writing my thoughts

because it what keeps me sane
reminds me I am whole
lets me know that this is all worth it
this living thing I do every day
this creating thing
immersing myself in the story
in art
in expression

Ten Senses

I've been given a new set of senses
whether I use them or not is up to me

a willow tree's skirt sways in the breeze
beyond where I sit, toes brushing in a green carpet

could this be the longing we've all been
slowly dying over?

to see all that we have

this abundant world
a kingdom in our backyard
royalty behind each face

possibilities of pure magic in dull tired traces
of endless tilling and toiling
planting with no show of growth

could this be the sign we've all been

we will sit upon mon martre, watch the lights and see the sights

we will go to canada, road trip, wont let go of your hand as we cross the land

we will lay and cuddle, whisper loving plans, never leaving the bed

we will let everything wait for us, we are important, we are us

im gonna love you til' the sun falls from the sky.

fire! flame! fire! flame! i love playing with fire!

when i see you, time stops, heart races and stomach turns

your heat makes me sweat, your skin makes me burn, my desire

let me stand next to your fire

elevator down

hit the underground

dinner and a dressing gown

counsel to the crown now

queen of the pride

of the afterlife

reckless and snide

she's calling you to come

to the white night light

at the end of the shaft

cold coming up and moving in fast

bold drumming dub hit beating at half

that speed spawning seed fear

picking up slack

so pack it up quick

pick it up pig

dig in with the ice pick

altCuckuroo go the pigeons,

While the breeze whispers through the door,

Time to live your dreams,

No waiting anymore,

I stretch myself out thin,

Reaching for the morning mist,

Yawning in heaven,

Life should always be like this…

I follow the rules

I jump through the hoops

I smile so politely

While my hands rummage the floor

For the bits of love that fall from your table.

I need to be fed

I want to feast upon you

I want to you to fill my inside

Until I can bear no more and scream

To the point I burst.

How long will you drop these mere morsels?

How long before I rebel and tear you apart?

How long before I devour you whole

And you melt in my mouth

while leaving me with sticky fingers?

We release from high

Into the sky their smoke

To rise higher on the eleventh

Stuck between two worlds,

The rain drenches my hope,

Filling the air with the rooster crows,

And flemmy lung coughs,

Sticky hot empty pockets,

Taunt my ability to feed,

Laughing lint bunnies,

Dance across the tile,

Paradise peers out,
