Phantasmagoric!
Night gathers billion big bangs ,
In the pitch dark naught.

How do I go
When my absence melts you
How do I turn away
When I am immersed in you

What else can I see
If you are all my vision
What can draw my mind
If you are each thought

Are you truly alone
While you are surrounded by fears
Are you left without voice
While you scream in silence

Is there a limit to my rekindlings
As I extinguish with each last look
Is it possible to breathe
As lungs fill with endless calls to you

At what point could there be too much us
Though there is never enough
At what point is pain exhausted
Though the void of apart is limitless

Where is the end of empty
Can it be found when we are cleft
Where do we cease to touch
Can we be disjoined at any point

Why do we bleed with stilled hearts
Must away be bottomless
Will actuality ever come right
Do we survive, or die trying

Like the sour
taste in your mouth,
or the canker sore
on the tip of your tongue.

The sweet taste
of mother's milk
stopped up
for formula.

Poor child,
a curse that
leaves him
clutching
for a latex ******.

Back to the
subtle pool
of dark and deep
that lay below illumination.

Wriggling, slippery
scales of black
in a pool
so hard to see,
so hard to grasp.

Down the hall
in the realm of control,
pulling into light a dark shadow.

Maybe two, but one.

Pull it close
to touch it in mind,
to know it and own it
and let it go.

So deep and dark
and subtle and fooling,
this pool of mind.

All is well in the world between us two
There's no need to be scared anymore
I have no eyes for anyone but you
Honesty never needs to settle score

I will hug a stuffie before I sleep
So you will always be the last thing on my mind
Your picture by my bed I safely keep
Lest I wake up reluctant to be kind

You are the best pumpkin in my garden
Smile on my little Jack-o-Lantern
Little mistakes are easy to pardon
I know you'll forgive me when it's my turn

You are the one who taught me what love is
This agony, what unspeakable bliss
