You live in the deepest part of me
And when I think of you I'm lost at sea
But there's no where else I would rather be
Even though you are nowhere near
And I can not hold your hand
Or comfort tears
I may never know your kiss
Or feel the beauty of your skin
But I will always know this love
Even after eternity finds its end

i like angry poetry
the kind that churns
in your gut,
with razors for teeth
and gums bleeding.
i like the violent sound
of verbs clashing
on a decaying page,
like the shot of a gun
on a quiet day.
i like the poetry that stays,
that lies in waiting
like a dog in a cage,
words that creep like
voided birds into the
wired tress of my brain,
that pay their rent
like drunken travelers
and trash the place.
i like angry poetry
the kind that sears it's
screams to my lips,
which spirit echoes and
moans for eager,
****** eyes.
words that hit like *****,
giving their reader
a killer hangover.
i like angry poetry,
the kind that leave you
with a smoky exit.

I am a borrower
collecting things that shine
all stashed in cracks and hidey-holes
where the rafters meet the roof
in the basement floorboards
lift one and you'll see
the treasures I've collected
two gorgeous glassy eyes
seven gilded antique buttons
a bouquet of sweetly fragrant lilies
a gleaming jar of pixie dust
three noble barristers
an Irishman netting butterfly dreams
a sorceress of the endless prairie
windmills like soldiers all in a line
the saddest porcelain doll
a small brown bear
trains screaming by on underground rails
a sprinkling of desert blooms
six jack-in-the-boxes so I'm always surprised
the hairless stuffed dog that bit me as a child
a Rickenbacker bass softly riffing the blues
a farmer's Ovation to accompany my woes
seashells that sing the ocean breeze
a merman from the Northern seas
tucked away in every space
packed within each sweet hollow
these simple pleasures I have borrowed

I'll always have something
To say
To make you know
Your the center of the universe
I'll always be able  to make
You feel
Like no one else ever could
Your the center of a universe

It's in me
If it's in me
It's in you
If not now
Just believe
I am you
And one day
Not now becomes forever

Not now
I hold you in my arms
Not now
We're physically close
Not now
I am a stranger
Right now
The love you need
To be strong
I
Am
You

Finding love


The love I need to be strong

I'll always have a body
To touch
And despite any distance
My obdurate soul
I'll always fall in line
You have control
I'll always be able to make
You feel
Your in control like no one else can be
Not even the hands that touch me

When you can't

Forever
The words you speak
Forever
The way they reach me
Forever
Love we look for
Right now
The love we have found

It's in me
So it's in you
Your inside me
I'll be inside you
With my hands to touch
What no ones ever seen
Or even realized
Existed

You are my angel
I try to explain
When I know I can't
I can't understand

I love you
And anyone that thinks
They love you more
Can go to hell
I love you more
I love the stars and universe
Your a part of
Can I be a part of you?

Forever
Forever
Forever
For now and always

And always and always

I
Am
The greatest lover of all time
I
Reach
In a way that you will feel

No matter distance
Not important any preconceived notions
Or money of nations
Or boundaries were taught as children

I
Am
A citizen of every nation
I
Speak
Every tongue known to man

But it will mean nothing
Not a thing
Abysmal darkness
If you won't speak to me

The way my hands can touch you
I smile
Because you've never felt before
I bring you more
The way my words can touch you
I'm a lover
And I keep on loving
When all the love has gone

I worried about a heart
I see a flower blooming
Finally reaching light
The most beautiful light
I'm worried about a mind
Something I never thought I'd find
Gentle and kind
And consumed by passion
I'm worried about a soul
As a flower slow unfolding
The most beautiful sight
I hope she'll be alright

I step onto sand
And throw it into water
A single book of matches
I throw it into fire

Surrounded by squares
No feeling
No falling
In the mirror where I saw your face
I said your name
Three times

I step into the past
And throw it into a different story
A single ray of hope
I throw a song onto the wind

Surrounded by squares
I'm hiding
I'm holding
In the mirror where you saw my face
You said my name
Three times

In my own eyes
There is a star that shines
And nobody can say anything
To convince me otherwise
In my own eyes
There is nothing more beautiful
Nothing I have seen
Nothing from my dreams

An ancient statue
Of Aphrodite
Goddess of love
Make me believe

In my own words
I can describe
How beautiful
I really know you are
A rising sun
A full moon
A shining star
In my own eyes

Soon enough
This soggy eyed pollution
Acid rain and broken logic
Soon enough
The old man tells the young
It all will become clear
Soon enough

That maybe a rose
That grows from her hands
Reaches through her lips
Speaking words without thorns
That even the beast
In the seas can understand
Leviathan

Soon enough
All the years are leading to
what is to be
Soon enough
The wars have been fought
Are part of history
Soon enough

That a child in her heart
Sings a song of innocence
It gives color to her words
Soft and gentle hues
That even shine into her eyes
As I look into
And feel creation

Soon enough
We will see the hidden constellations
Are stars that we call home
Soon enough
The dreams we hold onto
Become something we can feel
Soon enough
Incomplete.

I knows it's raining where you are
Foggy London streets
I know
There's a storm inside of you
Some kind of beautiful flood
That makes us want to swim

I know you

I love it's raining where you are
Sullen raindrops assault the River Thames
I love
There's a song inside of you
That I sing
We sing together
We dance in the rain

I love you

I am the rain where you are
I see as the London Eye the  sky above Big Ben
I am
The seed I planted in a heart
Of love and hope
Through your lips a flower blooms

I am you
