Each moment for me is
A moment of clarity
Finding myself growing ever more tired
Searching for a fact
Or a reason
To explain why I should not cast off this
Earthly form
Why bring the air
Why bring the bread
Or the water
To these lips
Why do I prolong this
Misadventure into being
My body belongs to the earth
The very atoms of my carbon based reality
Once slept in the belly of a star
All of this Big Bang talk has got me thinking
Why should I press on further into my fragile existance
When all beauty- belonging in temples
Is not worshiped as a king

a daring mountaineer
ran out of lonely peaks
and women he could brag to

he met a wild woman
just as tired
of her narcissistic journey

they attached
and hoped
they were in love

this projection
became their Everest
with no summit

they ate crackers and soup
listened to talk radio
fell asleep wondering

they sighed in unison
quit dreaming
of mountaintops

the biggest piece of *******
is that i can't move on
with my life, until this is settled.
I can't wait to
be over you.
I can't wait for
the point in time
when I
can see you
and not feel
as angry as
I do.


I am angry

at how you

Built a wall
around yourself, keeping me out

and I tore mine down,
          

                        brick; by brick

coaxing you into feeling something

when ALL of this ****


was your idea to begin with.


Well, next time you're lonely

find another girl to stick your **** into.

find another girl to make you feel special.





*find another girl to break

Child sleeping in my arms
I think

Sudden fire works
bring spectacular display in mind's sky,
spreading to whole of one's consciousness
like a dervish loosing himself
in repeated spins climbing ecstatic heights--
the moment has a crazy energy,
one can't understand from where it springs.

and when
it gushes out like a flow unstoppable
it takes one by surprise
it's force, froth and foam
would sweep you off your feet

remember the night we kept awake
gazing at each other's eyes
without uttering even a word
completely consumed by a passion for which there is no name
and at day break
drunk with love, fizzing like champagne,
made mad love till dark,
two blue mormon butterflies
flying high above the trees to blue expanses
and above the crimson sun sinking down,
we were clearly out of the world
we would never forget those moments.

I sat down with my inner self
becoming a sharp point
and had a vision, beyond all senses
in that inspired moment my mind was light
I didn't want anything, but to experience it
if I could write it as a  song
a million sounds inside me  would sing in unison.
