I want to explore you
Burn you up inside out
Consume you like fire
And embolden your senses

I want to wrap around you
As rain trickling down
Pausing on corners and
Form caressing steam

Blinded and led forward
Only by the sounds afforded
The limited expression
Of pure intentions flattered

What's it matter things I say?
Only flare shots to strangers.
Vying for regard?
Young and old on the same stormy sea.

Floating flimsy raft of mine adrift
Except now I've got you for sailing

Nape of neck was so smoothly skimmed
Bumps formed to reach for you
Knife drew a crude line illustration backside
We're performance art for an audience of none

Opalescent sphere radiating aura
Tempts me to lay back and bask
Relax and gaze at trees and stars
Yet she's all of it and moreover divine

She reaches me by radar signal
My words come in waves and pangs
"You're the universe" I say
And it takes a lifetime to get across
The galaxy

Presenting the circus, gather ‘round!
An art display! Watch a family waste away!
Psychotic scribblings on white-wash blank pages,
Fitting insulation for the padded walls
And each one’s oddly striped like a jumpsuit

Textured and chameleon, life flashing by like roulette
One thousand times, two thousand times a day
When will you let off piling baggage? Why not my way?
Sometimes I can’t help but feel like I’m drowning here.
Chained by familial devotion, not allowed to utter sound.

And the one tiny ******* final camo-tarp square
That from which you leave me to view
Means either I reach, breath, block and obscure
Or I gaze at the cloud’s shapes, aloof, and I suffocate
Tell you the truth, now I’m not sure.

I need to leave this deserted, haunted hill.
