What if I care less
Collaborate with myself
To feel less love
Extinguish some of the passion
A time to say
Goodbye for now
Make love to an alien
Some other world
Is calling to
My creature
I can dance
A million times alone
But then to lay here
In your arms would be
Lonelier
Recollection to
Falling off of a cliff
In my dream
Soaring down
I check to see if
My teeth are
Still intact
Before we
Hit the ground
My memories of you
And I that is
A collaboration

Bring your evil
Bring your dark
Let me put you to sleep
With my harp
Soothe your sorrow
Pet your pain
Let my rhythm of love
Sustain you
In your slumber
In the deep
In the nightmares
Of your dreams
In the catatonic screams
Let me tell your
Heartbeat how to
Calm itself
Nothing to raise fists at
Hands resting
At your head
Through the song that
I would play
To melt the acid
Anguish of hate
Quiet your nerves
Bring your disdain
Enrage it upon me
I can swallow it away
There is no level
Of darkness
That I cannot usher out
I am your exorcist
Your noble love
Thumb across your lips
Arms up above
Cupping the demons
I can drain from
What has followed
You home now
Rest your head
Bring your evil
Bring your dark
Let me put you to sleep
With my harp

Capitulating under a sun of
Darkness in utter blithe
Yellow couch to work it out
Dreaming of a cigarette
To make it all go away
My version of crazy
Too many songs
Sung by Amy
Over and over
As a big glass of
Winehouse should be shared
A little therapy and
Chocolates with liqueur
What better way to
Come down off the mountain
Sometimes they’re
Too smart for their own good
I could say at the very least
My awareness is
Overshadowing
A childhood
I’m still trying to understand
And so are they
An undertaking
A catastrophe
In the making
With a pale orange glow
Waiting at the end of a flame
Behind the door that
Has all the answers and
Evidence of ghosts

What’s the difference between
Dark green and light green
Why does every moment
Feel like we’re running out of time?
The sense of urgency is reeling
I lost the hold I didn’t know I had
Would someone eviscerate me
Please let’s be compendious
About the order of things
A long drawn out conversation
Arriving at the conclusion
Of a lot of things I never said
And that you never knew
That the decisions I made
We’re influenced by her
How uncouth
They were mine to make after all
But I never thought it would be
Rather, I would be, left with neither
One of you although you did it
Before wayfaring
This time I played along
Got caught in the game
Trying to save myself
And lost again
Too many dynamics
Too much sexual confusion
An ego intrusion
Maybe I should be proud
But it still takes awhile
To move on and move out
From years of being in
A friendship turned
Relationship turned
Nothingship
I feel like I was tricked
© GÄ
Maybe I’m keeping
A broken dream alive
What veracity!
Ode to truthful pleasures
The exterior is pristine
I think you would be proud
Of what I’ve become
And
What I’ve done
Garden flat
All though you may never have
Really cared about that
Neighbors said they
Liked the flowers
The garden is my sanctity
Does it also count
If it’s only me?
Attraction
Connection
Companionship
Something to do it for
An us factor to share
Are we holding onto
An idea for something
They were all contending
For his attention and love
But in the end none of them
Truly adored him
It was a trophy
Something to win
Someone could say
I got him!
What would it mean to
Genuinely love him

If to possess the druthers
Some sense of control
A scenery
Comfortably greeting the rest
With open arms and
No detest
Maybe we don’t know
What life is
Strange
Why shouldn’t every body
Explore ecstasy
Let’s just say stuff out loud
Without being afraid
If offending one another
Because love
Because adoration
Because intimacy
Fire can also make art
Where to begin
From the beginning they said
What do you know
How many roads
Lead to the path
Of sensual climax
Maybe in a forest
Somewhere under cover
Too many passions
To resist
So many moments
To outlast
A fragrance
A little rain
Every particle remains
Exploding out into
A disarray of color
Some sort of
Euphoria unexplained
© GÄ
There were sparkling sands
And an attempt to taste a
Drink concocted of herbs and syrup
To make a delicious potion
Of what others would find
Inviting for love
At their lips
A pause and a need to
Bury our loved ones
Hold onto remnants of them
And still keep the power
Of the crystal separate
What would such magic do
What could spring forth
Forged in a time vacant of
Predetermined outcomes
Just present instance
That did it
Sold deal
What did it?
You and me here
What’s the analysis
If the outcome doesn’t matter
Lots of words
Too much chatter
I’d like to
Seal the deal with you

Jettison black smoke
Starting the day out with
Tension wrapped around
My heart
Unwind me
Lick my cheek
Save me from the bleak
I call your name
Naked underneath these
Clothes awaiting your
Affection
Plunge yourself
Inside of me
No holding back
Look at all the happiness
In the cherry blossoms
Surrounding us
It’s spring
Match my fever
My body is yours

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

Don’t be chary to step forward
Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
People can feel your spirit
When it’s dimming
Just as they can feel it
When it’s shining
Around you
If you never had the desire
To be something amazing
Burning inside of you
It may have been easier
To accept a mediocre light
But if you’re burning
Deep and bright inside
And you can feel the flames
Licking at your insides
For whatever is the next
Astronomical moment
In your lifetime
Then the tears are real
And the journey is strong
And may be long gone
Before you have the chance
To look back and know
What you did
See what you’ve done
Past the doldrums
Of doing everything perfect
Making everything right
In your slice of paradise
Room for error room for dust
Room for make up sex
And arguments
But mostly space for
Newness and second chapters
Letting go of past relationships that
Have run their course and
Making room for new ones
Along the way
Others in time
Come what may
Vibrations and drums
Keep moving
Don’t stop don’t give up
Find the next story in your life
Open the book turn the page
That will give you everything
You know that you’ve got
To experience
Give it several shots
Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
Beleaguered by our thoughts
Stand up strong staff in hand
Conduct the weather
Future endeavor
Hurricanes of persistence
Find your strength
And tap in
Passionate footsteps
Stronger together
Everywhere eyes wide open
Heart pouring out
Life is too short
Don’t do without
