Breathe brought in, with it sickness
Cause enough, it can all crumble
two pieces, more, four exponential
Onto the ruined floor of morrows
There they get ground down finer
by the ones that through words like love around
So very, very off are the scenes
Of a life, of first tries, of smoking puddles
Far off now is that guy, that person,
just but now only a reminder of poor choices
And it can and will crumble
cracking and falling away, into voids
much like the need, and want of breathing
sitting so close to the smoke that rises
each breath feeding and igniting
Foolish are the eyes that believe and abuse
salty water, vinegar for the wine we waste
when all of life crumbles around you
and you find the endless, unlit labrynth
fed by bridges burnt down just after your crossing
until no exit, No route, No saviors are found
the sickness comes in shards that turn to puddles
and this then burns to smoke, and ruins
work in progress

Click!.. And enhance quickly there after
when puddles cracked and broken
melting, tingging the air with addiction
breathe it in deeply this my motivation
long lost and nearly forgotten
longed for, sought after, bartered and traded
the motivation and the woes we will cause
this time, day or night no longer matter
I fly, and believe again, and create and try
this time and every time before desire burned brightly
to be up again, to contribute, to create and try
seeing again reasons to want these things
busy doing all and everything it let's me
whatever this does gives me this time

This life of sugar sweet hopes and dreams
blanketing, shading, betraying what hazards lay beneath
things like failure, ridicule, backstabbing, self loathing
real things that our padded quilts of denial never reveal
until you fall, or suddenly the blanket is pulled
and all together we forgot to want this.

It stalks us each day, wanting to consume
Wishing to take us, having
A hold,
A grip,
To take us to that place of
Fear,
Horror,
Sweats,
We may fight it, struggle
But it is like hunger,
We may fight it, but it will win every time.
For some it is
Happiness,
Release,
Relaxation,
It is that which takes us all
Like death, but temporary
It consumes half our life
This cousin of death,
Not eternal but called sleep.

I could be up high, my castle in the sky,
I look down and this is nothing
with out you in my eyes,
For how high I may be
I am walking down below.
To be whole again
For without you
My castle in the sky is
Empty,
Cold,
Wind blown halls
You make my heart complete
This castle, this keep is nothing
I wish to find you,
I shouldn't of let you go.
Have you found a new castle
The place in the clouds to call home
I love you,
Please come home, my heart is empty
*I am all alone..

Under the red lamp, sitting
Shades on,
A light that is dull, low watt
Near darkness.
How does he even see me
Watching,
Never does his stare falter
Never ending.
I feel his eyes behind darkness
Burn in to me,
I want to know why he stares
Under the dull light.
Things cross my stirred mind
Puzzlement,
Questions,
Nervousness,
His stare unnerves me from a far,
I get up, walk over.
Then I see what my eyes ignored
A Cain, made in white.
No staring,
Ego,
Stupidity,
Under a red lamp he sat,
His fingers his eyes.
Grasping tightly his tea
Shades on, under dull light.

You tucked your sugar candy wrapping
with surreptitious dainty dips
and lots of little body wriggles
in between my couch cushions
I found them when I did a clean

amongst a weight of quiet
tight squeezed tears
pushed by love out of sight
shaped in dainty pears
appealing with question shaped
twists and marks from subtle turns

I wish your apple secrets
kept so **** sweet
unwrapped and served
peeled with berries on a plate
in neat dressed shiny mint
response coated lozenges
so I could press that sadness out
and dissolve that reposed tinge
of unsolved hidden hurt
between your sensitive tongue
and my own open heart

I'd throw your cares
that empty wrapper stash
into red liquorice skies
to chew through a dash
of  lamp lit tinctures
and catch its splash
in tutti frutti sprays
wet with an array
of well licked flavours
but please keep away
those sticky fingers

look at your paper trail of pink and white
let's follow and pick up each far flung bow
there's a picture on one we can see smoothed out
a part of a boulevard not torn but bright
and it's a bonbon for eyes that dry I'd treat
tucked in a chat upon a couchette
to Paris with you tomorrow night

The smallest stone
Thrown in to a river
Many times,
Can change the course
Of its mighty flow,
It takes but one
To do something,
That will bring on
A change,
With out the first
Others would not follow..

I graced the skies
I drifted with wings open wide,
Looking below, freedom up above,
I soared to the heights
Those below not seeing that above
Clouds,
There beauty, I grazed there out lines
I felt the moisture on the tips of my wings.
Storms,
The wind against me,
Anger of nature unfolds
I sought refuge from the darkened clouds
This day was safer on land,
In the trees, my second home.
Rain,
Tears washing over me,
Flowing around the river in the sky
As it did fall towards below.
I am of the sky
I am home in tallest trees,
I will sail where the winds flow
I am looking down from the heavens
And I am free, skyward bound.

Beneath the tree
I sit,
Still,
Motionless,
In thought,
Of life
What its done.
Where its
Taken me,
Given back,
Held me captive.
I sit under the tree
I look up,
The flickering
Infinity
That is above me.
Am I of use,
Do I change anything.
I sit under the Tree,
My life
like its rings
show age,
wrinkles show
Mine,
I am at peace.
As I sit
As I stare,
I am here
The universe around
Ageless,
Time moves on,
I get back up,
I walk inside,
As time
waits for no one.

My mind is a storm
Of words,
Of verse,
Of things to be.

Like a cauldron
Its mixed,
Sipped,
To find the right word
Starting,
Ending
What will they be.

My mind is a muddle
What shall it be.

What ever I write
Its for me to decide,
The way it
starts,
Finishes,
Its is up to the words to decide.

I have a story to be told,
Will you listen to the words,
Or be the person that reads aloud.

It has imagination,
Lands and places to visit anew,
The people you meet,
Are part of the experience your going through.

There are villains and hero's,
Who will save the day?
The man or woman,
A gold fish named Steve
You decide.

I will get your imagination in full burn,
Will you read some more,
Or put me down,
As its getting late,
As you give in to the yawns.

I will always be there for you to read,
I am a book,
There are many flavours,
Thriller,
******,
Graphic novels to,
You are the reader you decide,
Which book suits your mood.

Glutton overfilled,
Food for thought no starvation,
More is not enough.
