Minds Eye

Your photo seems to match up with an image in my mind,
My heartbeat blasts in the same way volcanos do.
Like a dream I can’t wake up from for to find;
From what I gather birds are flying backwards today-
Still water resilient fish are swimming upside down,
Moving in time with every muscle in my body;
Twitching with rhythm that is strangely cathartic
Though the humming of the earth should bring him joy
Nature makes a way to metaphor
Even our feet can’t tread away from what will be;
Inevitably the wind will take us by the hand
Spinning is the sensation of possessing
Every little thing the planet has to offer.
A pure intent for post arrival is returned
And we are learned only to be what we are limited to be,
For we can only transcend what we know to see.

In the Dark

Could you identify me
If we locked eyes on the street
Would you recognize my
Shadow or see my outline
Backlit across the drapes
Along the wall
I see the candlelight
Flickering beneath the sheets
Open your mouth
Let the light shine out
Sparks between us
Starlight enters through the
Windows and there’s a demon
Up ahead maybe we should
Reconsider getting out of bed
Disappear without a trace
Touch me now
Kiss my face
There’s a devil dancing
In the field below
Just past the edge of the
Rooftop you can see a
Pale moon beaming
Over a trail of tears
Fire and fears footprints
Burned into the years
Before us the past is ours
To let go of much like the
Emotions we’re desisting
Heat between us
Still persisting crawl onto
The roof with me breathe
And feel the mist of destiny
Beneath our naked bodies
Would you recognize me
If you saw me on the street
I’d recognize you in the
Way you speak even if I
Saw your shadow passing
Silently in the dark

Wanted

Disingenuous doubt
From now on out
Nobody’s victim
No strangulation
I’m issuing a reward
For anyone who can
Lead me to my lover
Wanted this hunger
Crave the thirst
Ready to burst
I’m your greatest
Suspect better than
Any drug persistent
To love every part
Of you take the side
Street with hovering
Lamps and shadows
Fragrant mimosa trees
I’ll be waiting to meet
You there open hearted

Love Spilt

Take me to the comfort zone
Grab your smile and
Ditch the phone
Resplendent and puffy
Soft like the clouds
You know how you wake up
One morning and realize
You don’t have to go out or to
Work that day?
Yeah like that
Pushing your face back
Down into the sheets again
Back into my chest and then
Pure pareidolia
Meaningful images in the
Portraits of our minds
Landscapes that imitate clouds
Shape the invention of our romance
Resemblance to what blue sky and
Dynamite enflamed eyes have
Carved by a laser beam into a statue
A stone shaped love spilt heart

To Be Nice

Thank you is enough
Prolonged deep in
A pining heart
Feel no loneliness
Emptiness still tries to
Claim a seat at the table
Uninvited
We learn how
To protect the self
From that feeling
A certain kind of
Person can give
Like a punch in the gut
Want to climb out of
My body feeling
Bad leftovers
Resist the vampire
Charm the smile and
The swarming in of a
New friend holding
Out their arms
But only there to
Clean out your goods
Take hold of whatever
Risky business
They want and manipulate
You into their
Emotionless map
Feelingless trap
I’m waiting for
Something real
Unquestionably so
We don’t have to lay
On top of one another
We can sleep
In separate corners
I only need us
To be nice

Winning

Neptune please why won’t
Someone just love him
“She cried,”
Listen to my pleas
Is this a race
For us to see
Who can hold out for
The longest and if so
What’s the point in that!?
But with grace on my knees
Not until we’re
All blue in the face
Put your lips on him
Your arms surrounding
Giving every drop of love
This purple moon has been found
To shine down upon
Inside you have more to give
Received empathetically
Don’t hold back
Relentlessly
Free the good
Reach inside from within
Everything you have
Is rewarded
To win

Electric

A little less crazy
A little less psycho
A little more mindful
With you
Disheartened by
Virtually nothing
Dark nights on the port
While the railway runs
Keep transporting
Crashing underneath
The stars like
Kindred spirits
Beneath the surface
Of the city lights
Where the water pools
And the rain delights
Milk and honey
Drips across the lips
Of a ponderous kiss
Your head on my chest
My best is at rest
With the crook of
Your neck in the grasp
Of my hands as the pulse
Of the power lines dance
Between us electric

Lovetrip

The clumsy gentleman
Lost his way
When glowing eyes
Deceived a gentle touch
To storm in
Without regard
To their master
A host of orange light
Expands around
The outside without glare
A free love stare
Fingerprints on the heart
Frequencies beat
Down through his feet
Into the street
Feel the vibrating sound
I’m glowing
You’re glowing
We’re glowing

Somewhere

How does it strike the chord
Inside how does it find that
Place I’ve been looking for
City lights wind on my face
The perfect song looking
Up into outer space
How does it remind me of what
I’m trying to find and for
How long will I be seeking
What I hoped to find since my
Youth and still haven’t been able
To touch just out of reach
But you know it’s there
You hear the words you feel
The notes inside and you
Know it’s around the corner the
Connection but you don’t know where
Somehow blowing through the sky
Reach out and wait to see
If the two align because it
Seems like everything about
Me knows it could be true holding
In my hands caught up in an era
The date that waits to
Meet the fate of you
I could be good for you
You could be good for me too
