My tongue,

Craves the taste of you.

 

My skin,

Desires the touch of you.

 

I want you,

I need you,

Inside of me.

We;

In the everywhere park

Smaller than most sun sparks

Aware of the charging dark

We search for blazing bright

We brush against beauty

Unaware it’s our duty

Molecules emitting light

Bewildered, oh bewildered love
Justifies me and you.

I am a ascestic fabricated role,
portrayed out for you.

I hope not to be alone,
Are you my safety? My shelter?
A home for my wondering mind
I have to bless, only you.

She sits in the dark,

 Stitches in hand.

  

And she sews her mouth shut,

   Qui---et!

Crack the clouds

Draw da butter sun down

Moon has her shiny lies

Given to you and I

Waterfalls without sound

Our lines got crossed

Our love was lost

And ghost are never found

The earth and sky are left to try

To mend the trembling ground

She said “sweetheart, tell me something about yourself.”

A, A-, B, B-, C

“What’s your favorite color?”

A, A-, B, B-, C

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

And I the small child whose parent’s conversation passed above his head like blue clouds that were too high to touch, too high and way too airy to duck. The undiscovered words would spring from mothers julep lips as if sipping aromas that match the adult juice in their tulip glasses. As father caught the words he would refuse to hold onto them and they would

Labels, dispersed without prescriptions
Inscription? Libelous assignment.
Refinement’s constrictive encryption
Affliction? Disability’s consignment.

Belief, bundled subscriptions
Transcriptions? Twisted violent. 
Solicitation’s exemplary conniptions
Proscription? Intellectually compliant.

I don’t know what I was waiting for.

I don’t know how I was going to explain myself…

For the feelings that I have… had.

For the feelings that won’t subside.

Household? More like a mouse-hold

But they’ve been told you can’t mold

 

Cardboard into a glass cage

Sudden rage at the rampage

 

Cut out the light and hold tight

Sudden moves cause sudden fright

 

And then flight; wait moments right

Just hold the light, he won’t bite

 

One-man animal control

Patrol, cajole, sweep and roll

 

Hope fades to black

Then with a smack

 

He’s trapped against the wall

It’s over, after all 

 

Yet they’ve already been told

So it will surely unfold

 

In a similar way by the end of the day

Next time they can pay for a more permanent way

 

Or hey, just let them play

It’s not my place to say

 

So I must simply fold

Welcome to the mouse-hold

A soldier’s life is

Bitter cold butter

Under a hot cutter knife

Give peace a chance!

Hey, I was fighting for our life

Clouds fell down

Heaven fell behind

Snow was no longer gentle

Not in American time

The Metronome of

my mind

Newton and Thoreau.

Click clack

predictable and friendly,

my mind tuned to find the

beat, a soft comfort.

few others can feel the rhythm -

the music -

playing in my mind.
