Go
My constant battle between Light and Dark,
Is becoming exhausting, and you don’t make it easy,
So go,
I’m fighting for my life, and you want me to retreat
So go,
I’m walking a tightrope, and you want to shake the line,
So go,
I want you by my side, you would rather cut me deep,
So go,
                   *So go ahead

Beyond the past,
Beyond our future.
Evolution is inevitable.

Change,
Will always be apart of,
THIS sand of time.

AS the dreams commence,
As our path becomes clear.
The treasuring reward,
Is within the crystal sphere.

One finds its true dream,
Within the universe that bonds.
Finding Thy Destiny,
Beyond the red sands.
A poem that was revised for a Book presentation

Thy body caressed,
By his guiding hands.
My nerves relented.

This is love,
In its own lust.
For power.

Man or Woman,
One strives more than the other.
Guiding hands,
Caressingly Hearted.

Thy kisses of fruit,
Desserts delighted.

His warmth within,
A heart pure and whole.
To heal her wounds,
Of the past Untold...

Run from me, I will hurt you
I hurt so many in the past.
It's me who wants to love and be loved,
I won’t allow it.
I is a serial killer of love, seduces his prey with promises, desire & longing
It’s me  I tortures, breaks my heart, over and over again
It’s hard for me to breath, I becomes compassionate and soothes me with tears, sorrow and promises “it’ll be different next time”, but it happens over and over again, I is love, pain & hate
I keeps  me prisoner, I is jealous of my deep buried passion waiting for release
Where did I come from? He’s a demon who nestled in my soul centuries ago.
Release Me

Is it wrong to look for love?

Not any love... but romantic love, the kind of love that takes your every thought captive,  every minute of every day...

I've been told.....
Take time for yourself
Find yourself
Don't look for it
It will happen in the right time, . Not your time....

Is any of this well intentioned advice true?

So here I am....  I found myself, had time with myself, didn't look, and waited....

Is it wrong to want to share this wonderful person I've found with another soul?  I hear the answer....... "No"

So I continue to have hope, as I walk alone, tears running down my cheeks...

It'll have to do.

*"Turn around, close your eyes and breath."

Far and Wide.
Near and Close, they travel,  
Distance merges with time,
Day collides with Night,
the Sun kissed the Moon, and the Stars cried,
Heaven is not a blur, but a twinkle and a promise,
A promise concreted within the soul of a man and a woman,
Earth's dawn fills a void with footprints and the heartbeat of Don & Lillian.

I wrote this for my brother & his lovely bride and recited at their wedding.

I tried crushing each memory like a shortening cigarette, but it's easier to allow yourself to die than to forget.

I stood in front of the mirror-the wall behind me scribbled in green-and I watched myself shave the weathered, brunette hairs off my cheeks, chin, lips, and jawline that you found so attractive and wrapped your lips around like a future reunion of, "Hi. I'm sorry for goodbye. I'm glad I met you again before I thought I would die."

And, in my head, I watched you approach my lips with yours.
And, in my head, I took a step back and started to tear up.
You asked me to kiss you, in my head.
And I shook my head, in my head.
You said you were sorry and got help, in my head.
You were better, in my head.
You were healthy, in my head.
But I'm aware some things may only live and die and say goodbye in my head.

I sat on the edge of my bed, no longer in my head, watching "Good Morning, Vietnam", and I remembered where I was when I learned that Robin Williams died. I remembered poking your thigh, in Starbucks, and wondering how long it'd take you to feel my finger or if you'd try to ignore the feeling, like most feelings. Your lips were red and your pants were black and on white, were black cats. And you were afraid to ask for your coffee. And once you sipped on your coffee, you left a red stain and it still appears in my head. And I relive every thing while being dissacioiated with my current life. And every kiss is a red stain in my head. Oh, great, we're back in my head. I guess we never left.

And I remembered when I knew you were dying and leaving and when I knew you had died and left. But I drowned those memories in ***** and suffocated them with smoke, until my body collapsed and until my lungs learned the cursive in every exhale.

In my head.
In my head.
In my head.
In my head.

Here I sit in the dark, watching 80's films. Because thirty years ago, there was no you and there was no me. I imagine it was a simpler time for the both of us.

A time where we never met.
But I'm glad I met you.
A time where we never kissed.
But I'm glad I kissed you.
A time where I didn't say,
"It's okay.
It's okay and it's always going to be okay
because I love you too."

It's not okay. It's not okay. Itsnotokay.itsnotokayitsnotokayitsnotokayitsnotokay

Tomorrow I will wake up, put on a t-shirt, boxers, socks, jeans, worn out Nikes, and a beat up flannel. I'll check my pulse, as I do my vitals, and I'll take my medications. I'll look at my bank account and determine how much money it'll take to forget you and how much more I wish I had so I could help you.

Is there a simpler way of saying I love you, or should I continue writing this album?
