the unknown poet
hidden behind bottles of wine
or drowning in caffeine at the local
coffee shop,
the most magical of days
are the ones in which I find the
right words, they drip from my lips
like sweet grapes on a vine
entangling me,
rooting  me to the earth,
for god knows
once I drift into the
ethers,
I may never come down

Serene
dream
divine
god
speaks
through me
gold
speckled
shine

How far I've come,
how far I've gone,
are two measures of time
I can't grasp, for what is time?
An illusionary clock,
attempting to grip you,
pull you in, and bring
you closer to death,
well I refuse to abide,
so where I've been
and where I'm going
collide like two erratic waves in the sea,
don't you see?
how far I've come,
and how far I've gone

I rest my head on the birds,
we fly into one another as we seek
the roads less travelled
and intend only to be free-
free from who we've been,
free from who we are
we fly into the ethers

Goddess of the sun,
free love divine
Laying delicate heads
where sun do shine

When it is time,
the love is mine
but I must not forget
it ain't all the time

My ideals
used to sway
like the wind
Now I stand firm
with the thickest
of skin

You and I,
the 405,
the sunshine of our rain
the storm of our own making
the never ending highways
the electric blue skies
the prophetic visions
you and I,
the 405
the clouds are high
so am I
you and I,
take the ride

Twist the
golden
door
****
it opens
Into another realm

In a realm where nothing is as it seems,
and the dreamer always dreams
the mystical moon is guiding
me through the doors which
once closed shut, now they are swung wide open
The forbidden fruit tastes sweet
the poison tastes like cinnamon
the vines grow downward into the roots
and the sun rises backwards

Oh, you raven of the night -
subverting the rules, seeking freedom,
ready to spread those black wings & take flight
with your black hair, sweeping ever so slightly over your black eyes the way your mouth moves ever so gently when you speak eloquent lies
the touch of yours, cold to my bones
the way you lay gently in grass with purple stones
How you feel, the words you speak
which light me up , electrify my soul, and make me weak
right before you break me down again
In his arm it feels like heaven or a hell of sorts,
for once I get a taste it's never enough
drowning in it, drowning in it, drowning in it!
love is like a shore or maybe an abyss
ready to burn and leave a scar, here but never quite there
lost in some world of another
for in his arms it feels like heaven or a hell of sorts

Wading in the water
until my lips turn blue,
my days are spent
dreaming of you

My fingers shrivel,
my eyes are weary
sea salt strips my hair
of color, I'm turning darker
waiting for you
hoping you bloom

Make them wonder,
wander,
question
& Seek
beyond
the illusionary
life
placed
at their
feet

Wrapped up in your moonlit
eyes, from dusk to dawn.
The new dawn is rollin through
the tides of my mind,
as we lay high on the precipice
of time past, and time present.
When the call arises,
leave me by the translucent sea,
where the wind and breeze
got me down on my knees.

Show me whom you are,
show me who you've been
show me the broken parts
and the
darkest realms of your mind
drenched in sin

Darling, I think you may find
we are birds of a feather
whom can fly
into the ethers together

So show me whom you are,
show me who you've been

At times
I am similar
to a wild fire
Destructive,
full of rage,
and yearning
to eradicate
the natural
state of what
surrounds
me
Burning, burning, burning
yearning, yearning, yearning
for change

Wildflowers dancing violently
in the night
Moonlight desires
Swaying in the bright

Only witness of that night
is the empty void within
& the stars in the sky
They glitter & gleam
hopeful
I carry on
Even when
It all went wrong
