If you wouldn't
Take the Sun for granted
Do not take Me for
Granted


But you forget
Who brings you Warmth
Don't you?..

Please                                  Do not stare
              Don't look at me
Please                       Do not reach for me
           Leave my hand be
Please                     Not this kind of love
          I don't want this
Please                    Just leave me
                  Please

I reach for love
and find I am holding fire

the two kinds
but never both at once

I travel with a Mantra
taking all the fire with me

this wholeness that's me
a contradiction

all the good and all the bad
we all go together

the Mantra is a road
a beginning and ending.

we stand and fall together
into nuclear fusion

that lasting flash
the one that burns your skin off.

codes for annihilation
are just a death wish.

all the negativity in Mankind
wishes to blow the candles out.

Some people,
Are angelic. Graceful. Godly.
They are otherworldly
In their beauty

And others
They are hell and heaven
On Earth
Imperfect and rough
Around the edges
With witchcraft
Under their skin

Oh wow
You're like a summer breeze
         nonexistent
hot
dry
vivid
    I can't look at you
you burn brighter
I hide inside
to stay cool
cold
buried
Arizona sunrise
Alaskan sunset
Stars dance
painfully distant
too close
  Pools form in your eyes
galaxies
  
I swim in the empty spaces
