punch drunk on sex love and poems
call me a romantic and i'll give you rock n roll
the noise that goes with a passive trance
the white noise after you release your emotions
the act of lust so defeaning to our eyes and ears

When I was young
I thought I was
invincible
knowing all-
all-powerful.
A youth with
blood of blue.
I thought living
was a shiny penny
spinning continually
on a golden axel
of a distant sun.
Then time came
slipping as sand
through glass
and I saw a moon

The bad scent
of a wrong move
breaks the dike
of ancient homicide.
Boiling rage releases
torrential blows.
A chimpanzee screams
fleeing as loungers
give chase
frenzied.
Surging Sapiens rise
laughing.
Watching through a glass wall

these train tracks will lead me to you
past a billion rocks and leaves
a hundred thousand faces and trees
all these things in between
I know
it's not so far to where you are
to your "sky's the limit" blue eyes
I rise up we soar

Drops of water jump from heaven
singing as they hit every object below
They each play their own tune
melding into a odd orchestra
bringing sky and earth together
connecting atmosphere with underground
and I stuck watching waiting
in this in between place

the crystal clear water
rain nailing the surface
where teenagers would swim
to catch their breath before the days heat
as vampires and misquotes
and dragonflies would hide in
the shaded trees
there was a fall there last week
when someone jumped off
burned their last bridge above

You Are Now.
There was a look in her eyes that intrigued me
It said so much but still she held her silence
I cupped her face and said believe in me
You have nothing to fear if you take that chance.
A tear escaped her eye and rolled to
The line yet misted
is something convincible
It awkwardly swags in untrusted eyes
and yet still remains
Solid.
How many love poems
included this line
How many old westerns relied upon it
How many rebellious teens could not
wait to tread upon it?
The glorious horizon
