Pleasurable moments
Verbal sophistication
Death is an attempt
To communicate
Deeply damaging
Romanticized
Blue skin butterfly
Tattoo of you
Hammer blows
Perilous breakdowns
Magnetic hues
What it is to be alive
Suffuse the darkness
With a salient light
Surreal air surrounds
The breath of life
Heart holding
Lungs open deep
And wide full of wind
Full of love we are
Full of love you and I

Iris moon gone too soon
Boxing to be someone
In the shadows of the bayou
Fancy footwork in the dark
Fighting to get to the top
Standing out from the murk
Compassionate crime
Heliconia sun and tree bark
Winter’s starting to flirt again
Malapert dreams on avant-garde
Bended avenues of strangeness blue
Foment me
Swamped with the center
Of the universe before me
Penetrating my core
My whole being is forlorn
No pressure no pressure
Believing every night we’re reborn
Caldera beneath the gaslight
Blathering about in love
Morning returns
Never again to lose sight
Of the sound of the moon

What if I’m not amazing anymore
What if I need to do more?
If I do nothing and leave it alone
Would anyone notice at all?
What if I’m not special to anyone
What if I’m just like the rest
Is it so bad to be average
Am I resisting success?
What if life passes us by
Is it so bad in the end?
Is it a failure to sit by the sea
At most to enjoy with a friend
To fish and to dream
To relax and to breathe
Really deeply…
What if to be so amazing
Is to be resting with you
By the sea

May I take you into my confidence?
I am a witness to so many moments
Man sweeps front porch blue broom
Have I failed you in some way
Like a serial offender over and over
Can you find forgiveness in the prowl
Hunting beneath the moon for
A romantic entanglement to
Heal the wound back and forth
Every upside down cloud floating
Upwards to the sound of our
Heartbeats wrapped in a turquoise sky
My eyes are flames and yours pooling
My hands are summer and yours winter
I keep you warm you keep me cool
An Old Norse carving in the wood
Of our hearts in the tree lines that
Report back to the earth grounded
In light suffocated by love the world
Returns back the echo of our love in one
Gigantic Doppler radar that is pulsating
In extraterrestrial dimensions

All the girls turned out pretty
What happened to us?
Impart upon me your grace
Your beautiful face
Your smile that can
Take up fields for miles
Like endless sunflowers
As far as the eye can see
You radiate me and the
Earth trembles at your feet
Laughing for hours
Convinced to walk on
Glass and all the while
Still in contempt of what
The heart wants
Still in contempt
Of you

Vœu pieux
Thinking of you
Accord and satisfaction
Inculcate my temptations
Tantalus of the sea
Send a rescuer to me
A boat with wood
Made to last
One hundred good
Ionian delight
Love and water
Day and night
Not far from land
Bishopric inland μπλε
Pulling inward trekking
Through and we are full
A land of plenty stillness blue
I’m here for you
Together we are
No different
Impossibility
Knows nothing
An empty room we are
Keeping it full
Our hearts expanding
Sunlit apricot on
Windowsill and you
Resting on me

I haven’t woken up
In someone else’s bed
In quite awhile
Like it’s going out of style
Maybe a distraction
Like this is just what
We need to feel
Good about everything
That seems to be falling
Apart around us
Wake up somewhere
Random in the arms
Of some unknown
Some soon to be known
Something more exciting
Something other moment
Than the dull mishaps
The boring blunders
Everyday exoplanetary
Atmospheres volcanic
Eruptions causing mental
Destructions body-quakes
Noctilucent heart clouds
A night shining of
Atomic love

You want to escape
But the ecstasy of the moment
Is lingering and sticky
Like you just left the hospital
Feeling better but some
Sick feeling still has want
Over you and what’s to bear
To wake and think not
Of what’s undone or
What more is to be
Awake and remarkably
Pleased by the nature of the sky
Head tilted to the side
A grackle makes eye contact
Huh! To want look at me
What an honor to have your
Head cocked up at clouds
Maybe a glimmer
Maybe a hope
Something quite beautiful to see
Have you time to walk me home
Or accompany me?
I like your iridescent jacket
Timeless but in no way
Medieval

There’s water in my head
That’s trying to get out
Because I miss you
But instead of reaching out
To you beyond my hubris
I am stunned by the mystery
If not knowing only what our
History could cause or what
Foreboding actions would be
Flawed what my distractions
Should create for to receive you
Or for what we are revisiting
What is on the other end?
Resisting to be constrained
To be completely open hearted
Could we open up a floodgate
Of who knows it, or what finds us
Underneath departure from the
Dark acceptance to the light
Inner primate emotional fight
Rejection and reception cry
Send me an angel, one who
Fills my cup with that of
Extreme otherness

I appreciate the encouragement
Because I’m living in a world
Where I have worked so hard
To get to where I’m at in this
Place and time it’s like I’m
Keeping everything
Professionally cool inside and I don’t
Actually know if what I’m doing is
Truly amazing anymore- you know
I lay to rest the best- Beyond this point
It’s just in my nature
To want to love
To be distracted by the things
That keep me from concerning
Myself with what really doesn’t
Matter up above because the issue
Becomes on Earth the things that truly
Matter below are nowhere in sight
I take flight
I fly
I’m arraigned in
A sky of liberty
We take flight
Tonight
