Is there tear gas in this room?
Because I can't stop crying
The gas crawls down my esophagus
And crushes my wounded heart.

“God this hurts”

I keep typing,
Praying to computer screen
That I'll forget the smell of your hair
I type till my fingers bleed
So I can forget what your touch feels like
How our lips fit perfectly together.

“God I hate myself”

The only phrase I think of
When I'm pleading for things to back to normal
Back to the days
Where you didn't want to to crack open my skull
And see all of the ugly things
That drift around my cranium

“Baby please I'm sorry. I’m a mess,
A klutz, who waltzes around with stupidity
Baby I get this feeling in my head
When you are not around
I want to keep writing you these love letters
By sliding them under your doors called your eyelids”
But I can’t

I sit alone in the bus called life
Looking across my seat
I see you, my love
Holding onto the bar
Your pretty Blue headlights
That make me drawn to you
Your pretty Blue headlights
Covered with the rain I caused
I'm a rain man,
you see, when people get close to me
I get scared
And force the skies rain to tears with pain.


The only thing that floats in my mind
Is that I hope the man of you life
Buys you flowers
Sunflowers especially
And shows up to your work unexpectedly.
I hope you can travel to Paris
and keep a long list of all of the countries
you've cuddled in.
With him.
I hope you he can handle seeing the stars
From your eyes every time you guys cuddle
Under the moon light.
I hope he can teach you how to slow dance
And I hope that he can teach me
On how to be a better man.

Standing on the intersection of
a Monet, a van Gogh, and a Picasso
Nice piece of real estate!

Water lilies ~ Charrette de boeuf ~ Tete d'homme

Let's start with the lilies:
I'm impressionable and I gaze lovingly into the pool
I see my reflection slowly unfurl in the shimmer of the pink petals
As in a dream ... I float on
The watchmaker sends an instruction: rotate clockwise

Now an ox cart:
I seem to be walking in Poe's imagination
Crows flitting about as the ox champions
His burden on a drafty day
Another instruction from the watchmaker: continue clockwise

And now Tete d'homme ~ cubism:
My world deconstructs
Line by line, shapes and forms
Fracture into the subterranean unconsciousness of my mind
Leading to another instruction: close your eyes

Shift
Your
Perspective

Watchmaker says: open your eyes

Uncentre
Misalign
Unhitch

Watchmaker says: ens causa sui: 'a being that causes itself'

Now I've got Dali giving me niggling doubts about the nature of time
Sartre with a side of Darwin and I'm being and nothingness

Ground yourself Mullin!
Open your eyes ... this is reality
There's Rodin in a battle of good versus evil
Munch and no screams! This is good
Gaugin sharing his garden view
I'm in my happy place again ...

That's better
And here's Cezanne, Degas, Renoir, and Pissarro
Bringing me back into a recognizable reality
My eyes and my mind are in alignment here

But I can feel that watchmaker winding me back up
My iris constricts and my pineal widen
Third eye ain't blind

Hope someone is around to catch me

No worries, I'm sailing with Renoir and
I've found A Muse (Constantin Brancusi)

Ain't life a musing?
Spent the afternoon at the Portland Art Museum, yesterday

I saw all of this with the exception of Dali, Sartre, and Darwin while standing in one spot ... sublime :)

A heart beat, skipping beat, flat
falling wing, diving wave, oh my,
a high to ride, taking pride, coastal
to dream land, drums and hails, ****,
whose cry?, snoring beast!, ****.

Just for playing around, I guess...

Dear Cheyenne
I love you more than I could ever express
You make me feel like a million bucks,
When I felt like 2 million less
You brought me up from my darkest hour,
Your lips make my mouth taste sweet
When it was once sour
I want to take you to the top
Of the Eifel Tower
And kiss you again
So you feel the power
Of the change you wrought in me

I want to wrap my arms around you
And never ever let go
I don't know what force could've allowed you
To love someone, so broken, so alone,
but you still did

You took the pieces of my shattered heart
And sewed them back together
You're a masterpiece of modern art,
That I can appreciate forever
And you push me to be my best,
In all of my endeavors
My greatest treasure

In ten days, it will have been 9 months
Since you stole my soul away
And kept it in your safe harbor
I know that I'm no charmer,
But,
I hope you think this is cute
And you hang it on your wall
Just like all the others
So I figured, if you had some wall space,
I'd write you another
My dearest Lover. <3

music lives
music breathes
music loves
music grieves

music courts
music shouts
music wins
music pouts

music grows
music clings
music clicks
music rings

music sings
music sighs
music weeps
music dies
Try this style if you want
A challenge. Use a word
Like poetry or art or whatever.
It's not as easy as it looks!

Moon glow reflections of shadows and beams
So close the future incased in our dreams
Planted in rows so our way we won’t lose
Of every path through this journey we choose

Seeing the light that will bring us the shine
Found in the chapters now written in time
Counting our heart beats in second hand flow
Wound in the truth that we somehow do know

There is a course that we can not control
Patterns our lives seem to take ever slow
Oh it may seem that the night comes so fast
Shuffling memories found in the past

Still there are dreams that I know we both share
As on this evening the same moon we stare
Strong the embrace of desires we feel
We can’t deny that these feelings are real

Surely a plan of the way it shall be
Is set into motion, together we’ll see
Just take a moment and give it a glance
We are in love and that is not by chance

So many items have followed this play
Different directions our hopes they have strayed
Still in the end we shall find it is true
Love is the factor that shapes every view

I know my life has a place now to go
Echoes of fate on this glistening glow
Can you now feel it aloft on the plain
Simple descriptions shall call it by name

Biding our time on this calm evening bright
Soon in my arms I shall hold you so tight
Taut as the thread that connects you to me
*Ours is a love of our own destiny

Solitude in the orchard
Melted with snow showers
And my romance with the moon
Died with snowflakes very young!
Notes (optional)
Without you
life is 
a question mark
With you ,
exclamatory!
I love my duty
As much as
I love my beauty
I love poetry
As much as
I love pantry
I love my country
As much as
I love currency
I love you
As much as
You love me

the odium of the thing not forgotten
all about it twas dead set rotten
the nose did well recall the stench
enough to make the gut wrench
the fresh air did smell neat
it twas a great treat
begone gross stink
that rat fink
bad its

She never moans, weeps, sighs or sings his paeans,
as one would expect, seeing her ardor at it's peak
how could he still just be the receiver of her ****** mastery,
without all of that intermittently let out loud, without shame!

He feels compelled to look at her with a sense of thankful awe,
she, no doubt, is in a plane far far above, any classification,
just not a  participator or receiver , she is the moment itself,
on it's shining wings, ascending  to the rarefied air, ethereal
see, the look of self abandonment, on her intense  lovely face,
that tells all, a flight defying limits of time, a leap yet again.

The world is an oyster with pearls hidden within
Feeling the intense beauty that moves one to tears when one become the infinite as it is within
An eternity of seeking truth, while all along it’s been inside of one
Energetic synthesis, eternally limitless; came as a seed to grow, the sun and moon to know
