A house of cards
Waiting to fall
Tempted to break
Deturpate
A vile place to
Care for humanities
And our rights
By overshooting
Toreador
To the soufflé
A dirty kitchen
All my eggs in one basket
I insisted on biscuits
Peanut butter and jelly
When will the truth
Finally come out
We all bleed the same
Can we love from over there
Do we have to hurt
Devastate one another
Just to hold one another again
Maybe imperfectly so

Friendship
Acquaintances
Friendly distances
Social Media retains
Networking disdains
Casual friends
Hang out refrains
Shared interests
Light hearted conversation
Low pressure no pressure
Close friends
Emotional support
Trust sends
Consolation like a letter
Inside jokes or better
Quality time undefined
Advice in time
Love sublime
Accountability is renowned
Lifelong friends are
Steadfast and recounted
Shared experiences
Belonging and undoubted
Close like family
Timeless tree
Where you left off
Lifelong memories begin
Showing up for each other
In the ebbs and flows
As we grow up and it echos
Through our life paths

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

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

My killer my lover
There is no one above you
You end all my pain
My sacrifice is our total
Enrapture like red ink
On rose petals pressed
Parchment reed paper
Spiraling out of control
Heart racing faster
No sheer equivalent to
The rush of our love
My angel my attendant
Every second on Earth
Our last breaths I would
Spend it with you
Swinging back and forth
Like a pendulum at the end
Of a telephone cord
Hello? Are you there?
In the case at the end
Of the table you will find
A key to my heart and
A bottle of wine my
Redemption lies at the
Foot if the bed and my
Tears are the salt beneath
Your feet carry me far
Carry me away a flight
To Paris or some back
Country road out of the way
La Bièvre ou
Étang de La Geneste
Not far from Versailles
I could cry, I could cry
I could cry my lover
My sister, my brother
My intentions are full and
Our story will beg to be told
© GÄ
Regale us with your
Gorgeous tongue sweetly
Wagging out those sugary
Words spun to make the
Heart melt in an instant
Hands together we decide
When we make up our mind
We wake up our kindness
To hear what the heart said
And we are so much happier
Impossible love made possible
By the ability to see through
Everything that will stand
In our way we are light
We are darkness we are
Yin and Yang we are
Imparted by soul-hearted
Connection in every way

A departure from what was
I lost site of all the love
Keeping head above water
Drowning in a sea of mystery
Where will the end come
How many marks on the
Chalkboard have I yet to
Still become and crest no sight
Of the beginning unto the end
A lost friend and a new page
A book for history to gift away
For the ages long after I am
Gone and back to the wind
I carry on and soon begin
Again to find the turbine
That blows me back into
The arms of love
© GÄ
We can’t laugh
Bad love
About anything
Because it’s not
Good love
Funny if people
Get arrested or if
We love
Something bad
Happens when we
Feel love
Get arrested but
We’re not supposed to
True love
Get arrested
Anyway

So many moments palmy
Wrapped up like honey
Sticky and holding tightly
To the echt delicious notion
We will find ourselves
Munificently dangling
From the edge of our
Commingled existence again
Was it just the possibility
That I could find you
Unequivocally on the other
Side of all that smoke
Running faster towards
You before your heart
Gave way to the attack
Of our love like a medical
Condition the leftovers
From our legacy will be
Defined by our passion
And not by the inability
To keep going on
Holding strong to one
Another same as the glue that
Holds the water to the earth
Perhaps the gravity of
Our love was an experiment
In life and death
An experiment in memories
That live on even without
Our continued participation
Frozen in time worn and
Damaged suspension
Components of eternal love
So many moments palmy
Swarming around the comb
Of our honey with our
Backs against the beach
Tears streaming down our faces
Just as the stars reach out
To one another without
Ever really touching

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
