the very beginning
    of the Big Bang,
did someone wise realize,
          he created, eventually,
achingly soft feminine
            firm voluptuous,
pendants miraculous,

          ultimate fun.
beauty  formed in a burst of
           magnificence.

Seriously, genius,
        the naked female born in an
explosion billions of years ago.

Unending wise, or
        coincidence, not ever,
I cup them, in reverence.

I love the surf at night,
the ebb,
the flow
of mountainous waves,
the tumbling,
the wet sounds
of pure
raw nature,
the relentless pounding
of the Earth.
So every chance I get,
I walk the lonely shoreline
under the cloak of darkness,
God's tiny,
sparkling lanterns,
just to be,
just to be
one with the ocean,
the Goddess of all eternity,
so beautiful
she is
so fine.

You're sinking in my soul.

I approach calm
Uninvited
Yet your arms stay warm and wide
I'd rather not remember their weight
Instead I run and hide
You peel me back like banana skin
Yellow, yes, with sunshine
Please spare me words of comfort
I'd rather you stay benign
We are but two quasars
Spinning with flashing solar light
Compared to dawn and dusk
Our polarities reside with the night

Graphite poisoning
stains my fingers
my skull is left cracked.

Paint is evidence
that my hands are creating
storing my soul out there

you need to play life
not the other way around
take back the garden

sleep is not sleep when
your brain never rests during
your unconsciousness.

Thought you’d always be there
Took for granted that you’d care
To put it in a word I was unaware
Of how much pain and despair
That I was causing you
By the stupid things I’d do
Was I callous guess it’s true
Now I’m the one who’s blue

It’s a hard adjustment to make
The things for granted that we take
When someone’s heart we slowly break
Which can be a fatal mistake

Do you find it to be strange
When I tell you how I’ve changed
Ever since we’ve been estranged
Or do you think I’m deranged
Cuz I’ve always had good game
But underneath I’m just the same
Someone worthy of the blame
Who’s impossible to tame

It’s a hard adjustment to make
The things for granted that we take
When someone’s heart we slowly break
Which can be a fatal mistake

See I’m tryin’ to make sense
Out of your ambivalence
Which is the equivalence
Of having me in suspense

No matter how much breath I waste
Mere talk will not erase
The memories that you have encased
In your mental private space
But what else can I do
To prove the point to you
That I’m done and through
With the things I used to do

It’s a hard adjustment to make
The things for granted that we take
When someone’s heart we slowly break
Which can be a fatal mistake

Thought you’d always be there
Took for granted that you’d care
To put it in a word I was unaware
Of how much pain and despair
That I was causing you
By the stupid things I’d do
Was I callous guess it’s true
Now I’m the one who’s blue

It’s a hard adjustment to make
The things for granted that we take
When someone’s heart we slowly break
Which can be a fatal mistake
