One song
Carries me
To a time far away.
This old short song

Shakes in a high place
Like the top of an oak tree.
It uttered in a gentle voice
Then, told me.

Someday,
People who you liked
Were illusions.
It told me that.

The illusions that my mind made,
I just pursued.
The story that I liked,
I just liked.
It told me.

There was nobody
Except me.
Nobody exists
j\Just me and my shadow.

Grass trembles.
A tree's shade was played
By sunshine and wind.
A lemon fell and
I just laughed and looked.
i lay still
and let the ants of yesterday and tomorrow crawl up my legs
and the pants of today's message
breathe freely down my neck
the best moment of my life
i was floating
and so grounded
at the same time
with your hands You
hung the stars in the sky
and know them all by name.
You put the sun and moon
in their places and
with your hands You
made the roaring seas
and majestic mountains
and those same hands that
hung the stars and
placed the sun and moon and
made the seas and mountains
made this heart.
We perceive the deep
like some siren song
sinking depths below
where our skin ripples
and runs laps around
and around and around
the surface tension
and cool breaking breezes.

The sunken sand and
rusted portholes
don't draw down
the moisture in our skin.
Next to the slowly sloping
dunes of deep
we are a skin-shod Sahara.

We are pulled by and against gravity
because, in fact, the bleak black
crushing back against our ankles
begs for the darkness we hold
shackled out of sight.
The death of the sea finds
the secrets in me
and it makes them it's own
as it swallows me whole.

Not to ever come this way, to late, I have
Impulsive quandaries of selfish pleasure
To go from searching to soaring mad
It wasn't had, not to ever come this way again
I lay not so harshly with regret, my actions sought ancient delicacy, potent
Dilute substitute, or lure be lazy, it's amazing how my brain is changing, for the good, I am grateful, if truly Time is able to regress, I confess starting over for the best, lay to rest, I must accept, not to ever come this way again.

Served its purpose, now I know to sever such a sweet piece, grieve my lovely, ***** dust, this I must, keep moving on, forward, let it bury deep beneath, in a tomb, sarcophagi, another life I lived and died.
At least I can say I gave it a try.
Boy, did I.

A mention to regeneration....of life, of body, of mind, of spirit, of heart....the essence of what you were...observed from upgraded version of self...saying goodbye
A year of wasted hope    
Emotions worn and frayed
Empty promises made
Strung along like a dope
                                                            
Bewitching glint of eye
You flashed a smile at me
The truth I could not see
Hidden behind your lie.
                                                            
Hoping your word was true
Ignored the signs I saw
Till at last I withdraw  
This moment overdue

I take my offer back  
Now dowsing passion's flame  
My heart's control reclaim
I've given you the sack.
