The paths that lay ahead call
Singing harmoniously to the soul
A chorus of whispers like flitting wings
Opinions, unsolicited and unwelcome
The future is seen in logical deduction
Two steps down this road
Five steps down that
Some are well lit
While others sit in the darkness of the unknown
Eenie, meenie, miney, and moe
Life is ruled by a despot
Every choice, each minute decision
Made by one
There is no team in, I
Take a deep breath
One foot in front of the other
The options are limitless
Final say and fate accepted
There is no one to blame
When responsibility lies within
Change direction at will
Enjoy the unexpected
Each life a maze
Each with its own tyrant

I look for you in the corners of each ethereal electronic glow
Crossing paths and catching glimpses
Cold trails and residual warmth
Time-stamped yesterdays
And real-time vacuums
Blended truths and planes of exisistence
Realizing, my truth, lies with you
Wondering who I have become
While knowing who I am
Missing words
Losing time
Feeling the very life in my veins
A ******
Tweaking bad for a hit
I look for you
In the corners
Of each ethereal electronic glow

Hmmm, think I'll pull out that ten word to stand alone.

Rough hands
Long days
Honest work
Hand tools

You said my name upon a breeze
It whispered in my ear
With a sigh you told me
What I though I'd never hear
In time the world will come to see
That what is true is real
That nothing ventured, nothing gained
Regardless how we feel
For if there is no bravery
To subvert the status quo
Then, a blissful life remains
A blessing we shall never know

The eyes of an angel
Elude me once again
Found in the dreams of love
Nightmares of a reality without you
Mysteries of the universe
Remain hidden in your smile
Words, vacuous, burn the heart ashen silver
The color of the day
Left to smolder in the absence of...
Who, what, when, where and why
Rotting in the process of wonder
The mind, my mind, is evil and torturous
Laughing at my gentle, loving soul
The heart struggles in the what ifs
Knowing there is no doubt
Reliving history just in case
God, I miss your skin
The creamy perfection
The perfect amount of silken heat
The way it flushes neon pink in a glance
Lost in your absence
Lingering in the perfection
Of the reality of, us, together
The future ties the past with cellophane noodles
And I miss you every day

"Wait a second",
But each second after that second
Draws into tomorrows
That spill into yesterday

And now,
It's an hour that feels like a year
In a second past a second
Without you

Wanted to name it Hurry the **** Up, but, um, no.

naked the pure flesh                        lovers
Are here

••

In the wilderness

••

In the first dawn

///

She rides the gentle unicorns

In midst fierce dragons

///

OH LOOK !

THERE'S

JENIFER LAWRENCE

COME TO SAVE US !

••

You'd think that at $40 million a picture

She'd a saved us by now !

MAYBE ITS JUST A CON !

//

Come on !

Back to

The wilderness !

(  •  )

Do you love me ?

This I ask

Out of more than

Mere curiosity

///

And

What I mean by LOVE ?

Yes !

What do we mean

In the deepest of the midnight hours ?

••

Trembling children

The terror brings

Out the heroes

Here you are

Come to your true sense

Of self

At last



She reaches thru the angels

And touches the stars

She enters the starlight

And embraces

HER LORD



The demon who taught you to weep is dead

|||

All this pain is just an illusion



No one has ever been left by a lover

••

We are all ONE

there isn't any other

///

True my song

Dear subtle child

//

The wilderness

Is fertile

And we are flowering

If at first you don't succeed
Spill your tears on paper
Pour your lamenting soul into the universe
Take a deep breath
And try again
