poet – Poétique

Euphrosyne

I’m not sober
I’m not drunk
Nor am I contrite
If I was would it be one way
Or the other would we be
Together or separately
Running towards the
Identical flame
Aren’t we all
Racing towards
The same thing?
Whatever is the end
The path to how we
Get there is very different
For each of us
Undulant rose petals
Beneath our feet
Screaming at the top
Of imperial imagination
Mountains of earth
We once climbed to
Survive and swimming
Our way from the start
Follow and focus in
Wander far away
Seeking a destination
Always hoping to land
Somewhere to mean
Something or for
Something to be meant
In the egg of our
Promise to ourselves
Or the unknown
Universe we’ve steeped
Into a cupped
Reality

Dust

I’m different in relationships
She said without warning
Maybe we shouldn’t then?
I asked myself not knowing
What it meant for us

Once lovers once friends
Twice lovers again
Buy a record to forget
To care what it means
Wait to open it to listen
With someone who cares
Lingering in the background

No trumpet on a hill
No horn echoed from a
Mountain to shake the ravines
Could answer for what’s left
Kissing the grass with
Dust from the moon
Peeled fleck by fleck
Landing on my face
At half mast I swear
It was full yesterday
What is time anyway

If giving up a friendship
Is what was meant for
Us to trade I would’ve
Kept you as a friend
Instead of giving it away

Pellucid

If all the light in the room
Could pass through me
Would I find you there?

Less questions
More answers

A grand scale
In the difference between
What weighs enough
And what doesn’t weigh
Anything at all

Which knows which me
When is it the other one?

Depending on if you ever want to
You can never not to
So I dug deeper
Asked for the check
My pocket held a piece
Of what was there
From before and what I
Thought for sure could only be
Pellucidly felt compelled and still
Removed to unveil the mask
That held back everything against
A sympathy and meaning to
Manipulate the lines I found
We drew on paper or otherwise
All just so you could love me with
One hand on the wheel

(ЯEPEAT)…

Someone made a noise
They didn’t want you to repeat
Or hear by not making it
Loud enough for us
To conceal

What would I ask God
In this moment?
I almost fell completely off the cliff
I want to finish something
No, I want to finish
Everything
Now

Are there really any strangers
Who are we supposed to be
Avoiding?

It’s your turn
I’ve gotten a bit sloppy
Sharing more than usual
Slogging to connect with you
Deeper

At times I didn’t think I would
Make it here with or without
A cigarette or an excuse
Hungry for reality
Starving for a fantasy

End goal make something
Out of yourself time, time
No testing the system
No game playing, baiting, blind
Is there an order to existence

Being, a, uhhh
Where is my concept of being?
The cast would open doors
Happening but as it is now
Work hard to become last
Something for the wrong reasons
Kapow

Responsible heartache
Absent blank status
Rejection is security
Laying it out into a
Quilted unattainable
Devotion

Adaptateur

Who am I without you
Ceremony is so powerful
Stroke concierge to
Adopt my heart

Kill myself inadvertently
So much pressure
Greece first

What if I just live
Like I’m going to
Crash and burn
But then don’t !

Maybe I’m not a good loser
Pink Jasmine trained
On wires to make the
Most dynamic patterns

Arrangements floral
Minus the bitterness
More reasons to fight
To be alive

Radiant reasons
To die

Device impressions
Stenciled markings
On a historic heart
Sage me

Blue foresight
Push to defend
Playbook to guide the
Centuries

Compassion is bleeding
Wealthy hearts are
Lurking

Acceptance

Whom have I in heaven but you
And the earth is empty of all
My desires besides you

My flesh craves our bond
My heart will fail
In the strength of my will
If I forget my calling
You are my potion forever

Shared soul house of love
Pure compassion
Only breath

What we were is not what we are
At least not entirely so we transpire
Into what we have occurred

The Gods know the way that I take
Lightening will test me
I arise forth as gold
Also my feet follow closely
In considering steps
A positive path without
Meeting the end of the world
With disdain

Handing it over to the
Greatest gift

Your love

Radio

I know the plans
I have for you!
I hear you declare

Plans to prosper
Not to harm you
Plans to give you hope
A future

I will be thine always
Then you will call on me
I will come and implore
I will listen for you
You will seek me
And find me when?
With all your heart

Is there nothing more dangerous
Than to forget our own strength
Distrust our own feelings
What even of fervor

If we are angry
If we are full of malice
If I am capable of hate
I am committing
The most enormous crimes
And I need you
Because I hurt

So many words we don’t use anymore
We don’t have to ask for them
It’s just given to us

I hear you I see you
We are together
I burn for you

I raise my hand
Expose my palm
I solemnly swear

Some will not believe
That you came to me
Through frequency
Change the radio
As I hold your pillow
In full clarity oscillation
A crystal clear pause

Between two limiting
Frequencies we are
In the radio spectrum

Here plus
There equals
Together

Sur La Route

Is it a long car ride
Or finding our rhythm
Writing a song maybe
Singing it together

Long smiles
Short roads
Open fields

From the everything
Back to the everything
You give me everything

O to sleep through the night
Verily I will be peacefully
Before you in image
And in air

Just the energy of love
Keep my head on
Not screwed too tight
Just light enough to float

Cautionary protection
Guide us sings the canary
We have many birds to travel us
So many others we have loved

And there the outside is calm
And the wild is calling
And to want to be close
Is hanging at every corner
In the room

Are we adults now
When did we become this
With our hands ready
So many elements
At our whim
Coexisting

Less no
More yes

Overture

What was the point of coming back
Explain the angle or the math?
She was always so good at equations
Even when she was high you know
Totally stupefied and how many petals
Covered the path to the top of
The mountains of missions and journeys
She’d climb to achieve her mystery
Hidden agendas and goals no one
Would know about perhaps not even
Herself still yet, it begs the biggest
Question: What for a reentering?

Had Neptune a signal to give her
Directions or would there be another
Symbol from the oceanic system to
Sonar her into a clicking that would
Maybe one day bubble up into a sulfide
That would surprise us all with her
Chemical experience she was a master
At her trade which was defined in
Human Resources and a refined training
In acting for any of this she was given
A premise to promise nothingness

One still begs to cry for why for? What!
If the point was to be helpful then
Why does she reappear just to disappear
Again and again might as well just be
Sitting around pantless and vulnerable
That’s the way she leaves you wondering
If she’ll ever pop her head in again
Pretend to be your forever friend
Accuse you of being the reason why
She failed you blame yourself for not
Noticing how she was trying to help

It should be enough for you and if it’s not
Well then too bad so sad still though
You may linger in your thoughts
Your heart feel ripped and wrought
When she was once a Queen!
It begs the question! What’s the point?
Why come back again just to leave?
And if to come and then deceive
Was it ever really that innocent?
Little explanation for the act of vanishing
An invisible coat for she who is disparaît
Underneath the overpass an exit

A kiss goodbye and laughter for
Freedom to the liberation of hope for
Never to be burdened by her return again
Though your love for her will not be
Forgotten and is held onto by the
Deepest of trampled on moments
Hot breath on the glass an invisible
Message that is encre invisible at its best
If your eyes are closed if you blink
You will miss it as if from this moment on

Nothing ever happened it didn’t exist yet the
Memory which is only a dream that was once
Caught parachuting from the sky
Paralyzed by the frozen altitudes
That could never deliver the comfort
Her words once promised
It was all just for fun in her eyes

Musicheart

Trying to break my flowers
What’s your astrology?
Can I get the digital code
To your heart ‘cause
I don’t care about your phone

What would it take to
Open you up
Do you have a cause
That I could orient?

Metal vibes and hard hearts
Won’t get you too far
But I’ve got a car
If you want a ride
Outside of this
Whatever this is

It could be heavy
I can also picture it soft
At least ninety ways to get there

May be sixty exits
If you need an escape
I have this thing for music
And also you

So many words but not
Enough verbs on the planet
In any language to say it all
So I stand and stare
Looking for twitches
Bright lights shine down

Black and blue clouds
Overhead alive pupil’s glimmer
Piercingly blue and
Black from shadows
Of numinous moonlight

Wake up tomorrow with you
