living in the back of beyond.
yes that's right
until you make the break from your plastic
you will never accept every blade of grass is a friend

Tonight as I lie awake
Looking through the window
Moonlight invading my room
I can walk up to the moon
Bridging the gap with its rays
Inviting me to visit moonlit land
Shrouded with an aura of mystery
Tempting me to unravel the story
Moon is the muse for many
Blessed I am to connect with it
Yearning to commute the distance
Awakened to a new realization
But sleep has distanced itself
Tonight as I lie awake
I plan to accept the invitation
To travel the milky white path
The pristine land of the moon

When I close my eyes, I picture how
The whispers I hear outside my window

Are those of every friend I ever had
Uniting around me in a timeless circle

Of unconditional support. It makes me
Feel stronger. More capable. Somehow.

No wonder the barley is yellowing
In this heat. Surrounded by gold and
Green, I spread my arms. Lawn angel.

No one can laugh like children
Running through garden
Sprinklers.

skin confronts all alien worlds
accepts and rejects
the petals of the rose
and the thorns of its protecting

Amorous play
Heightened senses
Lover’s in rhythm
Thrilling chase
Entwined heart
Awakened passions
Fervent tango
Delicate moves
Love’s Aroma
Exhilarating feelings
Lover’s at play

betterdays
almost words
             eddy in the murked
corners of my mind

they lack
                clarity
                       and  purpose
they lack
               need
                    and wanting

they lie
      fooled by the worth they
think they should have
   and so.... dissapate having
               never been
formed into  words....
         never having been
more than the
                   grunts and groans
of an overtired....mind
         fecund in potential...yet
barren in time.

              almost...words
gone upon the tidal surge

Who is to say what is true and what is false,
Perhaps the angels who have fallen are you,
And me.

Stories and fables speak of our desires and fears,
What are the gods if not reflections of all that we find holy?
Does that not beg the question of who created who?
Is God nothing more than a combination of our eggs?
Some broken,
Never a dozen whole,
A reflection, however poor,
of our fractures beliefs.

And if we are fallen from grace and this life was deemed a sort of punishment then is it not our God given duty to rise above the suffering,
Deny the base temptations
And close the door on the face of hate?

I do not judge the fallen angels,
I count myself amongst them,
And we want to go home.

Future
It is but a moment away
Not lived
Not seen
Only dreamed,
What happened,
What was,
What is to come,
Are actions
Of days past,
Days present,
And of those too come to pass.
We are the makers of all
But are actions in all
will tell us if,
We are a memory of yesterday
If we lived past the *present

To see the *future
yet to pass.

ill give ya a redemption
                                                      ­                                shot
watch you **** up three
then sink the next, grinning
bowing, arms outstretched for
                                                                ­                        me
Instead, you're greeted by my pursed-*** lips,
a curse, and rehearsed
                                                       ­                                   down-
cast eyes as I reach into my purse
for papers, roll up so you know you ain't
                                                           ­                                good
for me.
                                                             ­                             No,
you hurt me more.
But I **** up
                                                              ­                           best.
