it was the rain and us
under a cruel maryland sky
it was your camera flashing
at a sea of umbrellas in the night
it was leonard cohen on stage
thanking us for staying in the cold
it was the puddle that formed
around your feet

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

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

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

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

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
you because these

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
