American ....excerpts from a working progress, / Whiskey Dreams and Drunken Drivel.
If I could write music I would write the symphony that is you but only the sound of your heart next to mine could play it only your lips on mine would sing it and only in your arms could we hear it

the symphony that is you
he wondered to himself, quietly, sitting, the cold air of a new season sitting on the windows ledge, how did you know it was you i wanted, that i waited for, for so long, i was the side way walking crab, afraid you might see me. now i want nothing more... how i wait for you in this dream...

quietly sitting
short it was but certainly sweet... the taste of the wine, salt, shivering heat … the racing hearts… frozen moment in my lovers loves most uncertain task… task not so deep, my lovers love I am sure runs deep, quivering hand and slightest touch, my lovers love, oh so salty, salty sweet… this first kiss… so very short… my lost lovers love how now I do weep…

first kiss
I’m unsure, uncertain, scared. What happens next? That light in the seemingly never ending darkness seems to have diminished; a wavering reminder of where I want to be, who I want to be, who I am seems but a distant fading star. Coldness holds me in this place in this darkness and lonely in this, this life I grasp for what’s real and it falls through my fingers, these stained digits of hopelessness clenching at nothingness. White knuckled in despair, I see you. I remember your touch. I remember your taste, the honeyed kiss of your lip, of your skin I drink in the sweetness that is you. The blinds clank against the window and I am startled to a dazed wake. I rub the last look of you from my eye and swallow the last of your taste… Again just a dream, how I wish I might sleep forever….

just a dream
you realize you are alone snow falls in the sun water runs backwards and not all that is love is true the moon’s dance on the mountain is as beautiful as we have seen but as such we don’t believe the biggest brown, green and blue eyes still dance with whoever is next the softest touch how we wait for the touch is still just touch this whiskey dance this drunken salvation certainly You realize You are alone

drunken salvation
As I pull the blade through me my own clutched hair in hand life, blood and breath move from me to weak I cannot stand not a care I have for you the mirror speaks so grand to laugh now I hear you so far a beastly band your love I hold before me in this cold now dying hand cold steel is my fortune loves toll takes me from this land

my fortune
I am as I have been taught. I want, I crave, I desire. I am your son your daughter, your late night pink pants with feathers and bonds This side ways dance, this exasperating prance This to late for TV glance What now? Shaven, cleansed brushed of thought of sight Taken of these, every day fixes Am I now not fixed? Do I not sing the song of your loves true loves lust? Oh the horror, the thought the predawn hard Take this and make it yours This love this is me my love…my fix Dance in this dark with my new every day fix. Dance in this my everyday dark. Selfish you, yours, Oh this this is Love

selfish yours
a day dreams wake slow moving soul broken promise till death no longer a part this wicked wasted dream so many gone vacant eye whiskey scented breath sun swallowed, the dusk’s clever taunt wicked wasted day this day’s dream gone whiskey emptied bottles a soul this souls subtle song no longer a part this wicked whiskey song no longer my heart in your wicked day dream song

souls subtle song
I guess, sometimes life gets blurred Everyday drivel Maybe just me Who really knows or understands what this , this love is? This love that love, love of flesh and greed, money and deed….this is our new love. Is it understanding, or taking every part of your loves love for truth, for the “word”. Is it taking our loves, loves hand, their heart and placing it in our own? In these days of our dust, our lust, and our money hungry ways, how could we know love? We lost our way and we are dredging in the filth of our fathers to find our way This wall to wall carpet and brown leather chair…is this love? Is love this twenty dollar bill… Lip locked and loaded for this days pleasure… This is how we show love… Touch this, this way… Love I think hides behind the eyes Big brown, blue, green globes of truth… Wow … where did my globe go? I want again to know truth; I want to know the warmth of my loves love, the ***** and the heart beat of loves true love. Or just a drink… Whiskey Maybe two

touch this, this way
What inspires me? A kiss A touch I guess the primal feelings the primal emotions… Hate, greed, vanity… love Guess discovering the difference, the polarity of each… I love to love Hate to hate and am so vain… I lost the difference. What replaces touch? What replaces love? Hate Deceit My god I wanted nothing more than love We want nothing more than touch We dance these days to the beat of our peer’s heart… Forgetting We belong, we matter… It might not matter that your eyes dance in my dreams that your skin was once wrapped around mine We touched We were in the same moment and we breathed the same air What inspires me? Loneliness Whiskey
