Fire of your scent, (one, two, step, three, four, step, dip) eating at my soul

Every day he sits and greets the world All he wants is talk about the beauty around us Ready at any moment to give advice while his radio Loudly blares jazz in the background Each one of us has something to give And we are all of the same human family Reality is what we make of it Life can be too short, but it is always worthwhile Grace is something the select few have Old age tries to rob it from us Only it can not take it from our spirit Do not forget that and carry on until your last day Be not afraid of the end You will not see it coming, but Every soul leaves a mark on the ones it leaves behind Earl, Earl, Goodbye

Jazz Man
Action turns will to reality. When one lives to watch, the will is snuffed out. Conjurers of nothing breed apathy and those with no purpose, rot. They let themselves be consumed, to be fuel for those with inspiration. The wounded gazelle is eaten and the lion is fed. Later the lion fades as well, but not without eating many gazelle. Progress is purpose and purpose brings the advancement of all. Hell is a place downtown. Poverty lines the streets and no one takes action. This is where inspiration goes to die and those debilitated gazelle are swallowed whole. Their sacrifice pushes the cogs onward toward oblivion and the unquenchable void of SELF INTEREST.

Elfchen 1.
Blue is an important hue. It covers skies on cloudless days and gives the ocean its deep shades. Now it is the only adjective that describes me. It defines me, redefines me, directs me, and misdirects me. Like the ocean thousands of leagues deep, so is the void that I sense as I weep. Friends left me waiting and lovers disappeared, but you were there. Now you have left me alone. Not for long, but it is long enough. Long enough to leave me hollow. Everything is tainted, changed. All is grey... ...and blue

Blue
We met in a crowded room. Your dark skin shone as a contrast to your pale teeth. Neither of us said a word, but our bodies did speak. You glanced in my direction and my breath went cold. I thought of what it might be like to dive deep within, really deep within, what makes you uniquely imperfect. If for one second we could truly know one-another. What a wonder it would be. We could swim with the thoughts inside each other and be truly free. I want to be immersed in all that you are, so that one day together you and I can be 1 11/26/2012

We met in a crowded room.
Throbbing and bobbing pillow slobbering I think my brain is dead Nasal congestion, a deep confession Demented thoughts fill my head In this deep I cannot sleep There is one thing that I dread DEATH

The Deep
Winking, Drinking Thinking, Slinking Ripe fruit pinkening In the cave It won't behave Cogs all a-tinkering 9/25/12

Drunk Innuendo
When wallabies wander, what will the world wonder? Silly slips of slander? Stagnating soliloquies? If I ignite indignation, Inquire indefinitely All is asunder And Amy abstains

Nonsense Nullifies
You are a traffic light And I wait for you to change Red signals me to hold fast, BE PATIENT! I inch forward, Anticipating your signal At long last! Here it is! But wait! You show me not a pure green invitation But a single arrow It points in another direction Away from you 10/25/2011
