I love you just the way you are
Curly hair and button nose
You're my little star.
Twinkle twinkle and burn bright
If you're not the best it will be all right
But it will sure help if you are.
Be number one perfect outshine the rest in the sky
My little one you may as

Savagely ascend
     and ride in glory.
Let your love descend
     in late night fury.

Let it fall like dew
     in early morning.
Our mixed up love-stew
     what perfect blending.

Let it bathe us clean
     trickling dripping.
Our salty love-stream
     yields musk ascending.

Let it cool us

New age day

picked like a flower petal from the face of humanity

subtle paranoia flowing through our water

vast disgust for the putrid

enamored by the thought of progression

I pray that all is what it seems

mascarades shelter us from the truth

leaving only crumbs from beneath

parallel to the dimension of thought

I've been eaten away
by the worm

The parasite left me
rotten and mealy
beneath the hope
of a blue sky

Though my seeds
somehow persevered
locked away
in the forgotten core
buried in darkness
under the littered debris
of a proverbial nuclear fallout
And yet I fear not
this seeming death

In the blinding darkness
The silence is deafening
The bitter cold
Leaves the body numb

In the dark night of the soul
Walking a path of solitude
To my loneliness
I unwillingly succumb

Inaccurately perceived by those around me
I am left blind; they too cannot see

My words misunderstood as parts

Becoming my enemy
     how you change unwittingly!
Sowing your poisonous seed
     you sprout feelings strange in me:
     passion fevers anxiety.

Near your basket sweet flute-wind
     steals me out to lips so thin.
Losing nature's call to strike
     swaying locks of red excite.

Blue and beaming eyes

Apology of Action

Seven years of living under ground
A safe comfort like a mother’s womb
A darkness impenetrable to pain

Seven years of blind ambition
Searching for an emergency exit
Desperate to feel the rain

Seven years of loneliness
Smothering in a stale mold
A unfathomable dank chill

Seven years of gritting teeth
Clawing

I’ve been broken hurt beaten and abused
This chaotic life has got me so confused
I’m trying to turn my life around
Can’t seem to plant both feet on the ground
I take one step forward and two steps back
Keep losing my focus and falling off track
I’ve

is this how it is?
watching the girl on the
magazine watching you.
the heat and despair of
loneliness pushing out in
violent need for release and
love only to see the unreal girl
finally spitting in her face in a
moment of pulsing pleasure
sticky residue blotting out
the face of this

ok ok
so the bourbon is only as good as it stays down.
for all the reasons of sedintary waste nothing so much as
hints at how desperate a troubled thought will stray.

even as old friends and family meet in one harmonious
conversation pound for pound logic and hope deserts

Every so often I find that my slippery little mind
wants to lay hold of a new thrill or one of a different kind.

It's like a touch of scurvy; my mind-spine gets crooked and curvy.
Or is that scoliosis that makes me get so nervy?

And then... my lemon tree!  How she stands magnificently
