is it not amazing how life seems to slide away, unrelenting in shades of gray tinted jade; all of our eyes staring in contrived smiles, my own tongue dripping hate and jealousy in a nonplussed state.

I awoke to prized tastes swimming tributaries across my lips; tiny trickles of sighs stretching skin tight chasing last nights kiss, last nights embracing dreams falling off eye lids stripped of cognition and it’s the ignition of ten thousand eyes watching blankets rise and fall next to my resting naked form. Fingers’ nails attach to linens stitch, searching language whispered in early morning nights passing out and around made up words and tortures to galling laughs and insipid shakes of bodies rocking together, mid-nights haste to be first to drop off the edge without slipping. I want to wake the blanket, Oh! How I want to wake it! Shake it and break it’s dreaming mind to slumbered reality. I listen to the ivy growing through the windows closing me into homes close to wooded enclosures, chirping gnaws in my eye’s veins twitching beats chest deep. I sigh over blankets tossing form and watch with smiles that have forgotten to remember the smiles reason.

Blankets
I’m watching lives, lives that might’ve been mine flit in and out of impressionistic existence in the days of bursting moments breeding sculpted trees into living instruments breaching screeches throughout our ears. gods! How long it’s been since eternities spent lying white lies across pale secrets spilt on carpets of ash inhaled to just get past another still life of tangled cigarettes atop those books I can’t remember breathing in picnics painted with green black stares of stripped down cathedrals and I’m leaving to repent my thoughts twitching along steel cords killing visions of storm tossed seas smiling at friendly dragons green, just him and me laughing at St. George’s dying look. Cat’s cast bronze curls inside sleeping shirts hanging off the back of suicide notes, shoulders bent while we stare and dare to listen to lives not ours to live. Chocolate covered whiskers fixing colors for our pictures; but it’s all false imaging anyway. Pirates and witches taking shots at our thoughts downing liquored treats divining dances towards the driven roads leaking floors feeling beats crackling down our spine; cigarette kisses in cafe corners watching stars explode blank life in gold spattered sheets. A lone man hanging life ten thousand miles high falling into swirling cotton candy flames and how I want to believe it ever really meant anything at all! Footprints never changing in the Moon lit laughs down streets I hardly care to remember. Black Crow! Black Crow! How you seem to fall out his eyes crying chlorine tears into a mouth never coughing up life and breath lost on the backs of laughter smiling mirrored spirits of fleeting peace reflecting tomorrows lives back to our eyes searching fabled bravery in Arsenic's cup. We’re all trying to see past our eyes and understand how we can trivialize the rings of swirling flames blinking in Sol’s iris; photographed silhouettes tying tongues to labeled nebula in one junkies eye reflecting the need gnawing upon my mind watching your thousand smiles spend my time and I’m trying to remember what it meant to see another breaking mountainsides, ninety mph vibes falling naked in the grass underneath your back. I’d rather watch ghosts doubled, holding islands of dust solidified on those stone cold basement floors fighting clothing to chase an innocent drunk down stairs falling into nights 900 miles away, memories I don’t have cast aside, tiny capsules encapsulating dying fires. How G and R and E reflect the sun in skies dancing floating clouds just gone by, making friends with a blaze of smoke pouring out our words in the hue of blue; lit cigarettes catching the cold rim of nights growing old with fungus, chemicals washed up on the edge of photographs stained with pieces of a memory in a lamps single light; I’m borrowing camera’s to impress a girl entwined in spiders silken webs hanging voids of every colored space. And god, how young these faces look, too young in the company of these stars scratching at the door to break out of these times; lost bicycle rides down aisles playing with Atlas shrugging off his burdens to ride 25 cent smiles in the lights of tonight’s fires dragging branches dried of sunlight spilling golden liquid out of plastic red cups. Freshly tattooed haircuts watching in all earnestness growing old and pretty soon all our hair will run out of our skulls to cover the bathroom floors in **** and ***** covered stardust; we’re peaking our heads out the shower while we dance tip toed steps across the branches growing out of 
decks into frozen chemical nights.

maturely premature thoughts preexist inside waiting to explode and marvel at the symmetry of our meetings, asymmetrical incongruities. unthought veils bearing everything mysterious. magic rarely happens when eyes open slowly for the first time. life hatefully spiteful, vengefully insipid, unknowing uncaring, who cares, time lost, repent, recant, re-imagined revisions, systems breaking human conditions, connections. see past the humanity, inanity and insanity are deliberate malfunctions- there is beauty inside every action, movement, and word. torrents of half thought forms cascade over fickle answers, responses to help your quest. yet in the same ****** breath you say ‘you’ve thought too much; imagined enough- excuses are all you need’ while i cry to you in silence, you’re missing the beat, the form, the aspect and motivation of the intellect that you so silently yearn for in your verbal abuses. this will only get you so far before you see as i see or not at all

Verbal Abuses
I should lie to tell you the stars shine to catch a glimpse of her eyes. That they wake million year dreams to gaze for brief time, dreams of never waking up to never vividly see. I should yell to grandfather light warming closer moving steps incubating fetal positions inside feet splashing cracks across arching pavement ways. Intentionally broken back, Mothers’ spinal chord seeps ***** through cracked nerves, solicitous beads fornicating under lamps flaming orange currents. Your saliva spins images of laughter for me to see in cloudless nights over rivers swimming oceans’ way. Capillaries open across my eyes crawling towards the ground, fractured concrete searching nurture, natural born life steeping into my blood stream upon sleeping. Legs carry dallying moments, lagging steps tripping closer to never missing cracks in stone encrusted fallopian tubes. I want to touch your skin, fingers pulling back layered wind sharpened capsules reach sprouting seedling under shoes bouncing soul to toe and back again. Our words feed; sketches of moon-tide engravings upon carbon traces, molecular hair catching my eyes. We smile at each other.

fragments
I remember, can it be a youths mind, actions running, precociously stunning, fueling imagination atop deep fields (gas stained dust). Fires fickle fingers reaching deep, scorching etches and traces of friendship through days made, deep velveteen May. I remember alabaster, skin, flesh, the two of us attuned to rivulets running drawn sketches, yours and mine, scratches and gashes untended, equality in torrential forest halls. More important days await, our attentions intentionally wasted, swimming moments, mile deep lakes. I remember, memories of laughs behind bushes, honey suckle kisses on our tongues, rain splashing faces as we run from the others; we were the best, shadows never caught, never found, always searching another’s thoughts. I remember your purity. Nervous energy, I remember lofty concerns, ideals on top of the world, branches holding dreams... dreams on twigs, weighty ghosts waltzing in the wind, worlds laid bare for our eyes only, golden thoughts, suicidal laughs streak across our eyes, terrified under beats bolstering skin, pine resin sticking sixty feet in the air. Ah! the glory, days remembered, softly slick bubbles, foam soap drenched fingers wrinkled screams as hot oil fly’s by, blinded ice erupting mushroom clouds, imminent danger behind inappropriate motions, fingers grazing skin and we’re all laughing everyone. Stories told, unmasked lives spoken on concrete, curbs cry with open passion as raspberry flows free, chocolate dreams milking tongues, sugared pastries delight in nights gone by, the blink of an eye, four a.m. lullabies on top of the Hill. Can we forget? spaces taken, speeding drives along empty Inter-states, dates to remember music and malls and movies, money spent, red-blue lights falsely imprison our spectacular imaginations, yet they only stop to smile and laugh, ‘get home safe’ is the standard we live by. Oh yes, how I remember our love, our friendship sailing through immortal days. How I remember us, gravel roads spitting dust behind tires dancing rocks beneath our high, soaring minds singing brazenly, sunrise just around the bend and I find it terribly hard to look upon this beauty and not cry. Seemingly too much, impossible events occur when two impossible souls find a way (the word is twine), and though it’s been a time apart, years since regular explosions of fire have kindled in our eyes, together, I still remember, I still yearn for a thing that feels so freshly young. Can you yourself still remember? Gods laugh, I cough out unsuitable words, descriptions of a past that possibly existed, waking dreams, early morning gold slivers between the contrast, alleviates the pain of separation, connected by a love I’ve never lost. Do you remember those green days, those glorious triumphs of the human body, mind, and soul? Do you remember... my Love, my friend, tears fall unbidden, joy; keep it coming.

I am dead. Cloven flesh, spirit hiding shadows, some place, no place, sow below the flow of thought - amiable calamity on the part of the lethargic. That sense faded west tasting living sweat and I can’t even feel the uncaring caress of ill ideals seeping through green-blue, all eyes gray through prismatic roots. Wheels touch paper wedges, circlets adorning colored names to beats and lengths of waves, crystalline wrists intact but can’t my legs catch the drift? The day fades salty across my brow, spit up gentrified goodbyes dancing the fine line catching boldly to dusk, webs of light casting Terra’s abortions into night. I feel adrift atop bending winds soaring, grasping at the sky; I’m laughing crawling forward, snatching feelings named in my self-absorbed ways. Oh! how it bursts forth! Explosions off in the distance tuning eyes to white and back again, heaving ribs spitting venom, ideas ***** abominations, I feel at home at last. I cry at simplicities feet, todays imagined forays into Death again foiled by a common sense which refuses neglect, wresting forever rest from out my chest, a wasted breath. And what to do with indulgent Death? What of her bright eyes catching mine, shaken thoughts grow cold inside, so cold she warms my flesh for tomorrows.

Birthday Indulgence
When you smiled, when you smiled you held me tight, told me truths that hid the lies away when you smiled. Scarred lips, stain glass cracked lips never speak. I saw your eyes light, I saw them light frosted constellations, weeping dew gracing etches of sun lit eyes. Liquid tongues, bathing fires freezing words never heard. When you smiled, when you smiled our bodies shook, naked hands holding blindly on to where I knew you smiled once.

When You Smiled
i’m speechless, bubble bursting breaking stomachs vigilant beats of pain stressed out tissue and do i know myself that well organs recognize my stress, atoms stretch and break until bile eats bile and i can’t think straight: thoughts spill acidic oceans across my organs

speechless
just bound (at the heels) to a world (that can't feel); walking (in the opposite of a parallel motion) all adrift drowning (in the largest of oceans)
