This Time, My Love

This time, my love, I want us to be slow
and kiss each other all around
from side to side, from head to toe.

I want us to forget about each care
that weighs like stone upon our minds
and let love take us unaware.

Let's just get lost in each sustained caress
and let our passion guide us through.
Let's do whatever we like best.

We need no other motive than to love,
seeking out each other's pleasure
as if it were a pearl or gold.

The sound of the wind

http://vimeo.com/98083863

The sound of the wind
On a cool summer's eve
Sounded good in my ear.

Branches with green leaves
Swing back and forth near to me
Standing in doorway.

Quickly my heart skipped a beat
As the tall oak tree
Swung back and forth toward me.

I visioned you falling on my house
Blocking my doorway
I ran inside to escape you.

Your branching arms pulled me back outside
Snatching me close to your bark
I lost the will to live.

Come Visit Me

I have returned from tasks anew
To the sanctuary that I know
Where all the universe folds for me
Friend’s dropping in for a cup of tea.

Eternity seems out of reach to us
Mere mortals, made from the dust
Here where all thoughts live again
Their power on this Earth plain

Your thoughts have been noted,
The children oft’ times tell me so
Sadie will let me know who is coming.
To join me when it is time to help them.

Realized or Not

If the rain were dreams to be found,
step out in them and let them surround.
Because without them I don't find my life worth living,
I need to make dreams reality and disprove the idea that they were misgiving.

I know that I need to do all that it takes,
But all isn't enough for you, given the stakes.
Perhaps we can put past this petty ignorance,
Live for each other, freed of our arrogance.
I dream and I dream to crush all my doubt,
Because deep down I know your heart is devout.

raining halos like a bottle smashed glitter ball
the good hydro hangs in the hair
swilling from the shadows
bitter like the good shit

i find her narcotica eyes
and take a hit\

dreaming is free
i live on a frugal plan
fuck the world and leave me six
im sick of hypocrisy
teflon tongues
ive scraped up
and patched up
the night work
feeling the burn
when the sun turned

Hope in Her Eyes

God is in the rain,
Sin running down the sewer drain.
Love is in the stars,
Twinkling on the strangers in bars.
Truth is in the rose,
Honesty can make woes.
Time is in the soul,
Eternity can take its tole.
Life is in the pain,
Suffering is ne'er in vain.
Death is in the day lily,
Just a moment of beauty.
Hope is in her eyes,
Dwindling, but ne'er dies.

Phoenix

My dreams turned into ashes.
Blinded by mocking grim clouds,
I've lost my way, denied by fate,
I crashed onto the ground..

Don't you dare pity me!
Let the others sneer and snort
Whatever they think of me,
I cared not!

I will be revived!
I will rise again!
For as long I'm alive
My will shall not bend

Wait for my return, dear friend
I will clasp glory in my hands
and silence the mocking words
which have hurt me without end

The Hero You Needed Me To Be

Living her life in regret of her mother,
Living in the embrace of the man who loved her.
Crying to yourself for reasons unknown,
Holding you close, never leaving you alone.
You always loved and trusted the beat of my heart,
My heart has been called to protect and do its part.

Here I am to be your knight,
Share with me what causes your plight.
When life has become hopeless Ill give it meaning,
With a prayer for your smile I hope to be seeing.

L A T E R A L . L A R G E S S E

the lake is cold
sheepshead and pickerel
and i could care less

these jagged knots running
my spine like loft steps
soft sooted bending
with a wear
your heavy trod
i bear beneath you
in the infinitismal
patchwork this old wretch
of a place is

your chain of the weak bike
you garrulously weave
leaks
the rapid lover raining
excursions was an oiler
in his previous existance
extending his ooze to you
and yet you squeak hardly
a sigh
