Logical Heart

Dismissed, unimportant feeling unwanted?
Interruptions brushing you off aren’t valid:
Devaluation roughly runs you through the thorns,
Time lost for morrow overwhelms even the youngest;
Moonchild rolling out beneath the gorgeous green,
In blue lit shadows that highlight ravine your curling lashes;
Though answers are both craved and plagued,
A most beautiful dark mystery is bubbling;
Watch as the equinox is shifting the serene,
As accusations could dissipate reactions;
Whether we land in pools of pitch or face the sun,
The hands of multi-universal clocks keep ticking:
   So must we also stand to be existing woefully,
   Defining what is not and what could also soon near be.

Along

A loaded gun for loving certainly –
I could be doing more if up to me –
Parked outside is someone else’s car –
And my Transcendence.

I kiss the furry cheek of my dog,
My cat I cradle careful of his claws,
Work will ring the triangle quite soon,
To afford the cost of one door –

Sequestered are the dreams of cold hard floors,
Wood burning stove – Poppies blowing–
Tomorrow growing closer –
As the sun rises to remind us –

O callous road– We travel to hell –
But idealize the possibility of heaven –
A mineral crown, my meager appetite –
One feather – only windswept –

The musk in the air gives direction,
A crack in the mind opens conversation–
My tongue finds the roof of my mouth –
Saturated words – treasures of the earth–

Before the end – get me away – however
Long streams of dusk and dust
Carry me along at first cast of recognition
A Destiny of detrimental trust –

Swarming

I had love on top of my head
And the bees were swarming
Light shines through my hair
Heart is swollen with gifts
Not sure where my mind is
I’m exiting a cave of darkness
I’ve been existing in for what
Feels like a lifetime and my
Eyes are blinded by golden
Piercing rays I have love on top
Of my head and the bees
Will be swarming for days

Deathsong

No longer go on
No lingering on
Gliding towards the cliff
A romance with the edge
Could end the self torture
Eliminate the inability
To please them all
Eventually get over it
It feels so insurmountable
How many days are we
Counting waking up
On how many fingers
Is the blame numbered
Could’ve done it better
Didn’t do it right
The night before
The day before
Settle the score
Can’t turn back the clock
Wish I may, Wish I might
Lights go out tonight
No longer go on
No lingering on
No more waking up
Wishing that I didn’t
Just don’t wake up
At all no need to
Break the fall
Find my thick skin
Deathsong all night long
Deathsong calls the caw
Crawling away from
My insides want to
Erase all the feelings as
Though my existence is
Causing more harm
Than good one thing
Goes wrong it piles on
In a glorious chorus
The voice is crucified
Find my thick skin
Deathsong all night long
Deathsong lingering on
No longer go on like this
Death kiss death bliss
No more disappointing
No more vocally corroding
Those who listen
Peace from my mistakes
Stars that glisten
Breaks the fall
Releases it all
Sadness is still the
Purest form of suffocation

Orotund

Orotund feelings leading
Up to exasperation
Hungry for a calm moment
Petrified and waiting for
One I think will never come
Probable and unlikely
Striking a deep nerve
Looking for a noble citizen
Someone to take me seriously
Someone who can laugh
At themselves and at
My ridiculous nature
I need to take a breath
My sleep is disenfranchised
Suspended like a pendulum
Swinging back and forth
Over the memories I’m creating
Pretty compelling I’m so
Exhausted I hope I can
Remember who I am tomorrow

Knots

Untie me
Loosen up my knots
All the perplexity
My spiraling contortions
Whorled around a
Broken heart that’s
Been mended and
Braided back together
By the hands of my
Ancestors in my
Dreaming life
Ancient hands that
Will comfort the man
That’s inside
Unsure of what a mother
Looks like in person
I can sense what one
Would be like subconsciously
Weaving my soul with
Threads of compassion
Twirling the kinks out
Unhitching the headaches
A helix connection
Between us entrusted
A rosette nexus of
Unwinding and loosening
My earthling coil
My living soul
When you open your eyes
To expose the window
Where I see you unfold
Looking back at me
Can I ask you to
Find me unbind me
Untangle unwind me
Untie me and disjoin all
My knots allowing
My lungs to expand
And breathe in
All the love from within

Fool

The world is a mess
A little less desire
Maybe nothing to crave
I’m not sure of my
Own tastebuds
Legendary fantasies
Dreams of manic screams
More or less
Searching for a light
That cracks us open
With the mystery
Of countless people
Remarkable times
Memories fade
The truth is a lie
And I am
My own fool

Who Knows

You feel like you’re falling apart
Like everything you have
Maybe means less than you
Thought it would or does or
What does it mean to be
Too much around the edges
Crispy and hard to digest
What a nap could most likely fix
Is also not totally guaranteed
I can smell the faint smoke
Of the neighbors cigarette
Lingering in the air
The thought of moving to a
Different town smelling
Someone else’s smoke
Lingering in the air perhaps
Even Greece appeals to me
In a way that sort of forgives
This avant garde way of living
A sip of redemption and
Perhaps an escape along the
Edge of a cliff not pretending
To be alive or escaping
Reality but just wanting
To be fiercely honest about
Who I am and now gravely
Entangled by some betterment
Of what doing well for or
As well as a person could be
At living life; ejects me into what
Would give up some deeper
Resolution to the meaning
Of life or at the very least
Help release the grasp I
Have so tightly gripped
Onto thinking I was going
About it in some especially
Wonderful way but
Who knows

Together

We’re better not together
I wore out love like
A sweater now the ties
Are severed no more
Binds no more fights
No more arguing
As you slam the door
Behind you it seems the
Only thing you’re good at
Is to fight for nothing
Because when I have
Asked for you to fight
For us the only time
The gloves are off is
When you want to win
For yourself not for us
And so we’re better
Not together and the
Birds they sing much
Sweeter and even the
Sky is so much bluer
Because the fog has
Finally lifted and
The heralding begins
As all the forest creatures
Sing and dance to
Celebrate our final end
Happy anniversary to
Goodbyes let’s celebrate
With our abilities to smile
The end has never been
So delicious to truly
Finish up and put a bow
Onto our personal
Beginnings there’s no
Regrets because we’re
Better off forever now that
Finally we’re truly not
Together

Perfect

Maybe it’s too perfect
The way that you could fit
Is it too perfect
That you could slip right in
Maybe it’s too perfect
Too good to be true
There’s not enough wine
In the world to soothe
Feelings of not being
Loved enough… Maybe
You can do the trick
From the outset you
Appear as though you
Might have a magical
Wand in your pocket
Click your heels sort
Of person- I wonder if
The way that I see you
Is too perfect or
Maybe I’m reading it
Exactly the way that
It is… Are you a wizard
Are you casting a
Love spell I can’t tell…
Is it the way you look
At me- Is it the eye
Contact that’s melting
Me- Is it the fantasy
That I’ve imagined
You so perfectly
Maybe it’s too perfect
The way that you could
Slip in here so naturally
