Sun rays poking from the windows
I can't get my head off this pillow
stale air in this room and I'm holding my breath
anxiety attempts to control what occurs next
then a seizure erupts in my head

Hits the glitch
in my automatic mask
I show for the world
and all those thoughts
I can't hold in my brain space

They gave me Life

then revealed it was a mistake

They left me to die

swore up and down

and side to side

they had the answer for my afterlife

so abandonment is justified

They cursed our names

repent to Jesus so he takes the blame

Reproduction in vain

Five beings floating in various locations

around the globe

a phantom family visits us at our dinner tables

Reminding us the consequence of being alone

Hello, Waitress in the sky
So long her fear to fly
She throws the world a smile
bats her eyes in a wink she's gone
hurling through the clouds
calming others through turbulence
**** the corporate scene
Type A personalities acting mean
humiliating her in a board meeting
so she trades blue for green

Goodbye Waitress in the sky
trade her wings for a diamond ring
So long her need for speed
racing on the runway


She was flying with the birds but now
she's swimming with the fishes

Deflated dreams of broadening horizons
a-popped balloon and a rolling stone
nowhere to go but everywhere
Oh Lord, she won't get the answer tonight
Oh sky, give her the strength to fly
Oh Queen, find her a smart place to run
and that's why she took US 66 for a drive

I want you to be entirely distracted by my surface
the sunlight above me

I want you

I want you content with my forecast of calm waves
each encounter

Follow my subtle guidelines

Behaving as a good mother I"ll command you out of the ocean
if you swim too far from shore

Or if you dare plunge your head under me

Sexually

Remain floating on my surface layer this is where the
honey moon stage lasts

Do not stare into the eyes of a hurricane
storms in me churning off the coast of "you had no clue"
will leave you washed up on Island Nowhere

Absolutely no swimming after sunset

I don't care if you hear the waves sigh all night

In this situation I am God knowing whats best for you
saving you from drowning in my cycle

Musing over idealogy
Attitude blurs in the making
How are we expected to know everything?
From lost enrout to passion
Sometimes we lose our passion
Mistaken for compassion
End up on the side of the road
With a flat tire caused by a deflated ego

Drifting far but
Purpose rises with or without a clock
We call her Dawn
often we miss the chance to be awake
to see her smile and feel her call

It’s been a bad day
Give yourself a break
until the new day breaks

Between being the Muse-Ician Magician
And the Dancer Prancer Whirling Dervish
I have an entire love affair
To tend this fire
Of my own yearning burning

O Lover of the flesh
When you come near,
You must take my hand on the eternal
Stage we call life
Or bring tears to my eyes with the music
You offer as a sacrifice
To the Love story you’ve been pending eons to unfold
Great Spirit has ever told
A sight to be held and behold
