I live in a constant state where my imagination far exceeds my talent, intellect, know how and ability to create and keep up with it.  I have no idea what I am doing or how I ever do it, not when I paint or draw or write or sculpt or... it's always a mystery and a wonder to watch.  Though being a somewhat helpless spector at times can be frustrating, it's the strange and dark pull and love towards tragedy and misery and beauty found in unlikely places that makes it impossible not to watch.  I am not who I think I am except when I am lost to the imagination of a dream of who I once was or might have been.  My name was lost long ago along with the first honey bee to sacrifice it's life to protect itself from harm.  I've been buried and born and loved and hated and dreamt and died all in the same moment and found and lost the secrets of life in a single breath that I never took.  And maybe one day I will be real if I can only manage to catch up to my imagination....

There is something about your smile that makes me want to part your lips
And discover the touch of your fingertips as they carve your name into  my back
To feel the warmth of your breath as your teeth release the blood within my neck
Revealing the hidden lust and rage of my pulse
Letting both tounges and limbs tangle and twist
Along the secrets locked beneath the colors of hushed closed eyes
To give you my flesh and bone and time
To grind away
To pave the sky
To paint the stars
To have my heart and life explode
And scatter across the dark haunted sky
Below the slight part of your lips
As the moon reflects
The mystery and beauty
Of your smile

People die.
Some young.

I recall my stolen
Moment. Soul's eyes

Opening; floating, cradled
In warmth -such

Contrast to the sterile
Chill of the table against

My back-
Beeps and pings fading

Like some sun setting
Somewhere behind.

That's right...
How could I forget...?


Seeing Day.
Sleep ending.

People die.
Some young,

But a few close their eyes
And return. I love this

Beautiful, terrifying
Dream.

what is she but a hope or a wish
a dream or a penny full of bad luck
a butterfly wing or a switchblade knife
placed with precision between two ribs
delirium and delusion as bride and groom
but not girl and boy
just bones and bones
husband and wife
without any parts to tell who's who
just a spark and a flash
of lives lived and loved
loves loved and died
death dreamt and slept
dreams slept and cried
tears flooded and drowned
flowers drenched
whiskey drank
porcelain chipped and cracked
last kiss of the first
death of reason
birth of madness
suffering murdered
pain given black wings
a heart stiched with the vane of a lost feather
once used by a god to write a letter and draw a map
while spending a life wandering a road under the shade of a tree
or was she sitting beneath the mist of a wave waiting for a bus to stop somewhere between eternity and oceans end
she was so long ago and sometime soon
that I can only hope and wish
that she will be the dreams of a penny that is all out of luck
just sleeping in the sun
waiting to be loved

I've seen the people
They have tombstones in their eyes
Dying to get high
