Return to sender
I cut the cord
I watched the light
Draw back into me
Recoiling also away to them
Luminous breaks
I walk into the darkness
Accept the branch
On the ground
Fallen from the
Cherry blossom tree
Up above
Take it to the end
Walk to the
Barren zone
Snap it in half
Shamanicaly walk
Away
A spell was cast
A spell was broken
Now at last
The words are spoken
Inwardly
Release me
To myself
A new chapter
A different story
As time passed
Many things I could
No longer do
Pushed away
I felt myself
Constantly wanting
To escape
The dogs were
My victory
What does it
Look like to find
Someone unlike you
Who will love you
Unconditionally
Long ago
A spell was cast
A spell was broken
Now at long last
The words are spoken
Inwardly
Release me
To myself
Rendezvous with
Renewed destiny

Mermo

It is true that I
Will miss taking care of you
I’m digging deep within
The far reaches of my insides
To find the strength that I once was
With you here a shared anchor
To give you the courage
And the confidence that you need
To break through the film
The firmament and myofascial
Ascension into the wonder
With a belly full of bravery
Pushing through soaring
You cross into the wild unknown
That is your home before this home
Receiving you back a gift
So graciously given for us
To care for on the green and blue
Now back into the ether
You are embraced
You have yourself
To hold onto
And as you are with me
I am with you

Fly my guy

Feign

Darling, dance like a dragonfly
     Even when narcolepsy sets in;
Fireflies will keep us awake,
     Watch me get lighthearted.

Moonlight over some pretty blue grass,—
Or the way the clouds hang like coral cauliflowers
In the sky when I see the world through different eyes,
     Notice how the praying mantises have so little to complain about outside?

Of the people who live there, I realize- the forest leaves will turn around,
     There is a new rule that you are breaking but you didn’t know existed!
Trees might yearn to find a carpet of herbage to magically fly away on.

Ha

Laughing out loud in the kitchen
Random bursts remind me
How important it is to feel this way
Unleashed with our memories
Even if it makes no sense to
Laugh in the moment somehow
It’s needed tears pool at the edge
Of my lower lids and I am dripping
With delight in my recollection of
What you said how I overwhelmed
You and now I am guilty of
Overwhelming myself in a time
When the only thing I can think
To hold onto is the coattails of joy
Like a leaf letting go of it’s
Cherished experience on a tree
So much more energy to explore
Another place to rest my limbs
I am liberated in the instantaneous
Chuckling that could fire the captain
And free me from my sad enemies
Training the brain to release the
Ingrained displeasures goodbyes
Can be difficult the worst to experience
But not in this case it’s the best thing
That could be happening in me

Délicieux

Over you over me
Onto the next ecstasy
Creating new souvenirs
Cheeks in pain smiling
With possibilities and the
Hate is oozing off of me
My stomach hurts from
Laughing so hard and I
Could almost die from the
Release is this what
Tears of joy feel like?
No more lies and finally
Free from the pretending to
Love me like you said
There’s more hope in the
Room then there is space
To breathe I can’t believe
I couldn’t see it before
I just forgot about the message
Experimental music on the
Greyhound and poetry
Living without you is
Encore plus délicieux

Weightless

After a far less harmless
Defenestration of rejection
With cause for expulsion
My heartbeat became brighter
Less drag from the snag
Of past emotional bagage
The chest and shoulders
Stand much taller
The inspiration explodes
A new beginning for windows
On a familiar old path
Which is the innate step
We are each born with
I look away from stagnant
Poise and ponder my greatest
Moment for escape
Batten down the hatches
And eject my best self into
A catapult of revelation
Who needs the weight?

Once Upon a Tree

We learn to question everything
And children just don’t do that
I made eye contact with a little girl
She mirrored all the gestures
She made the exact same faces
That I made to her
Discomfit
Rather than always moving stuff
Moving minds
Wizards always keep their promises
Or so I’ve been told and the story
Goes like this…
Once upon a time
There was a dark and hollow tree
That was so big you could
Climb in and yes in fact
You could fit three squeezing
Down the trunk brushing up
Against the wood to smell
The musty bits of earth in
Ancient musk and vetiver
A tiny pin hole light would lead
You to a wide and open room
That looked well kept and
Smelled deliciously of
Applesauce and soup
In the air the dust of cinnamon
On the floor a polished stone
Hardwood chairs carved from
The roots of which the tree
Has firmly stood and in the corner
Of the cave-like looms surroundings
There sits a long grey haired Divine
Who tells the truth about your past
And opens doors for future times
All the questions that you have
As an adult here can be asked
And the childhood you once had
If feeling free is ever-last
So find the tree deep in the woods
When you are caring much too much
In your dreams you’ll seek the
Map in which to carry on the path
Let your subconscious lead the way
And if at first you lose your step
Try again tomorrow night
Or in the middle of twilight
There is no rush to get you there
But to unleash adult despair
Would be the goal if one there was
In such a circumstance because
To feel so free as like a child
Who cares no more about the
Files, bills… and trials
You’ll find something special there
Awaits you even so if lost
Along the way, but still has always
Been inside you from the moment
You became

Go

Plunge it in deep
So you can feel
How hard
You hurt me
It hurts
She hurt me
Love and let go
Curtsy after the show
A faithful friend
Wake up from a nap
Feel like I’ve been
Zapped as if
Something has died
I can’t remember
If I cried
My pride or
My hunger for life
Is it still here
I’m unsure what the
Words are to find
Look for joy
Don’t let friends
From the past
Destroy or
Rip away from you
The perfect choice
To move forward
With yourself
The key to
Believe in the
Future of
What possibilities
Are in store are
Awaiting you
In the wild or
On the dance floor
Missed kissed
Who knew that
My love
Could be resisted
There’s nothing
Left to recoil
Freed from the chains
The locks of pain
Floating away
Into the distance
Free to go

Spring Free

Your love blows the branches
Of destiny and pleasure around me
Cradle rocks the lullaby
White winter
May soon fly by
But your concrete feet
Stand taller than the sky
To say goodbye
To any distance
From the breath
Throughout your leaves
Your plant sings sweetly
About the bird
That serenades within the tree
Of never knowing
How it will rise
In perched commitment
