Innermost thoughts

Lasting a million years
Overt hemispheres
Visions remaining clear
Everlong and meaningful

You are every reason
Only you and you only
Until the end of time

Your cradle is my grave, you rock me to sleep
Nights spent alone and the secrets they keep
The heavens above are filled with angels that weep
From the lullaby you sing can be heard six feet deep

The water below
The ebb and flow
The timeless old attraction
The blue and cold
The realms unfold
The rush from the protraction
The crashing tide
The deep and wide
The wave bent by refraction
The raging storm
The droplets form
The colorful reaction
The clouds pass by
The latent sky
The hues are called to action
The dreamers dream
The light it beams
The ultimate satisfaction

You no longer have love for me
This is a fact thats very plain to see
The only time that you come around
Is when you're scared or your chips are down
Whenever I express a need for you
Seems there's nothing that you're willing to do
So now that we both are fully aware
That I'm the fool and you don't care
This must be the end of days
Where we both go our separate ways
As much as I still love you so
Your love for me has ceased to grow
Now that I know that bitter truth
I'm stripped of all the dreams from my youth

Inspiration has suddenly returned

Lost before the hemispheres burned
Oceans turned a deeper blue
Violet Skies lend a crimson hue
Each resemble the essence of you

Your style and your enduring Grace
Outshine the smile upon my face
Utopia I have come to know

Inflection changing her direction

Lovelorn by the disconnection
Objection to her lack of introspection
Violently caused an insurrection
Epidemic leaving a fatal infection

Years pass and  wrought by recollection
Obsolescence then a sudden resurrection
Unilateral het love is a reflection

Intriguing without having to say a word

Language spoken loud and clear
One movement at a time
Very subtle to total sublime
Each holds my undivided attention

Your body speaking volumes
Offering a pathway to your heart
Using capital letters

I've sown my seed in all but six

Left them for the pallbearer's to get their kicks
Oscillating wildly their wicks were lit
Visually aided for them to get their fix
Extemporaneously flicking their bics

Yet the six remaining were up in the mix
Our willing woman wanted forty licks
Until then there would be no turning tricks

Jackson said, “I’m late for the sky!”
Mr Mojo Risin was way up high
Jimi and Janis went along for the ride
Cass brought a sandwich but no one knows why
More and more from the canyon store
Were knock knock knockin’ on heavens door
Supplanted from as far as the Eastern shore
Kerouac and Ginsberg found a spot on the floor
Miller and Kesey would soon descend
The Cuckoo’s Nest was owned by a friend  
Frank arranged an invitation to extend
Even the youngest Beach Boy would attend
Jerry soon came down from the bay
Via Terrapin Station riding Dennis’s wave
The only one not here was Dave
Cause in New York is where Ziggy stayed
Frey left the Motor City schemin’
For Phillips’s take on California Dreamin’
No one ever thought of leavin’
When Dusty sang, “In the cool of the evenin’”
Our House is a magical place
The memories put a smile on your face
They’ll  never take away the Leather and Lace
Because Laurel Canyon has unlimited space

Introductions leading to seductions

Lustful liasions never follow instructions
Obstructions of justice with a hearts abduction
Volitions conditions and mass productions
Eventually turn into fables of  reconstruction

Yearning to feel the bodies conduction
Outcomes steming from deduction
Until the end result is reproduction

As days become weeks another year passes
Same as notes on sheets become music for the masses
Half empty or half filled are the metaphoric glasses
Cave paintings of lovers left to be sorted into classes
Leaving lives in the balance with only doer faces
Still life images of the lost people and places
Civilization without expectations leaving no traces
Can’t stand up for falling down when no one embraces
No angels appear when demons cast their spell
Or heaven above when one's service is in hell
The gift of gab quickly turns into a rebel yell
Unless the crime committed beckons one to never tell
Soon the sweet beginning becomes a bitter end
Your lover undercover used to be your best friend
Forever is now and always will depend
On the weight of the world and the message that they send
No time like the present and certain as the past
Asking over and over why the love didn't  last
Storm clouds gather and in the shadows they cast
Darkened is the door and it’s closing very fast
Lightning crashes there’s no need asking why
Memories in the mind start flashing right by
Seasons will change why must everything die
Only to be reborn like a rainbow in the sky
In the wink of an eye the sun starts to shine
Lives intertwine and the feeling is fine
Until you remember December’s decline
Holidays are hell when you’re dependent on the wine
Nerves are shaking and hearts start breaking
Worn on your sleeve and there for the taking
Something is missing in the love that you’re making
Then everything is clear when you realize that you’re faking
Shoes can’t be filled when there’s a really high ceiling
Cards on the table that someone else is dealing
The game's just not the same, what a shame, it’s not appealing
Never fulfilling and never feeling that feeling
Like a rock in the glass or stick in the vein
Mainline bliss is not served up just the same
Never again will those feelings sustain
Once in a lifetime one is allowed free domain
So think long and hard before you sever those ties
Bid your farewells and say your goodbyes
For you will never again be able to look in those eyes
When the levee breaks don’t seem too surprised

In the mirror I saw two
One of me and one of you
Foolheartedly my aim was true
Becoming one was deja vu
Having walked this road before
Knowing full well what was in store
Destiny knocking at the door
Or just another screaming *****
Roses fill the garden bower
Chinese Lanterns and the Clematis tower
A shady place where our love can flower
Or a graveyard filled with hearts devoured
The heavenly bliss of the enchanted first kiss
A moment in time, one to surely reminisce
You dip and you swell beyond the power of fists
For star-rossed lovers know the meaning of this
Or could this be real, the way that I feel
Emotions so strong I'm unable to conceal
Waiting impatiently for more to be revealed
With ring in hand before you I kneel
So why is true love so hard to find
In this for the duration a fact I've resigned
As uncomfortable as the ties that bind
Forever and always you're emblazoned on my mind
Ceremony
Matrimony
Mirror Mirror
My one and only

December
I was channeling Bing Crosby's ghost
In a dark corner of a cold basement
Haunted by another
The ghost of Christmas Past
My gut was filled with grim circumstance
And carved roast beast
Snow started falling
Or was it a collection of tears?
Either way, it was the wrong night for a drive
So I walked to the point of frost bite
She sat in the window brushing her hair
It was at that moment I remembered
Her gift was in my backseat
Lucky for me
She was no Rosemary Clooney
More like a forty something Judy Garland
At best

In these times of trouble
Don't always expect a struggle
Just let your sail fill with air
Forsoon the coast will be clear
Attack the task at hand
Until you reach dry land
Now your trouble is far behind
So you can ease your worried mind
In keeping those fears at bay
You can enjoy this beautiful day
And rest your head instead
Until it's time to go to bed
You'll enjoy a good nights sleep
Without the need of counting sheep
For without all the second guessing's
You'll find your busy counting blessings

Insanity it seems

Leaving the woman of my dreams
Omissions at the alter
Vehemently she screams
Echoing through the parlor

Yellow stains of long
On her wedding day
Unveiled

Seaside sway
A lighthouse in the distance
The high water mark
Where the perfect wave breaks
Then rolls away
Abiding the tide
Returning to the fray
After collecting  sand castles
Under the crescent moon

Incandescent souls

Lamenting the days end
Ocular endeavor
Vernacular transcends
East and west of Eden

Yon hill beyond the down
Our dialogue continues
Unabashed

I chew my cheeks
As dragnets drag
Yin and ****** yang
The love of the never man

The air is thick with karma
Calling beneath the blockade floor
Should the world fail to fall apart
He desperately looks for the door

Of Dali’s car, his silent self
A war without a war within
Time has got nothing to do with it
She killed his past with her kiss

Like Orphee in some thunder world
Nothing lasts and **** to change
Sashed and shorn
Hallowed be her name

With her sunken eyes and her pretty looks
All the nights we’ll see them through
The seven veils of the mind
To the seven of cups, tethered to you

Through the zero hour we’ll walk
Oh let me love you in the morning light
Your away tonight as the art on the box cuts
Let go all the tears of your life

Till the sun bursts from your side
As we kiss the water kings hand
The passion of lovers is for death she said
To remind me of a perfect plan

The indelible mark
Not to be taken away
You left me alone
I remember the day
Words in stone
That you engraved
Are framed forever
And on display
Marquee stains
My love betrayed
The sun goes down
Without delay
The stage is set
In your play for today
Casting call
As you portrayed
My tears they fall
In a steady cascade
Nightmares loom
In twilights shade
All night long
Another masquerade
Now well aware
Of your wicked ways
Belladonna’s false Personna
Blinded by your Soft Parade
Now my heart
To my dismay
In pieces all
Forsoon decay
Awaken shaken
Love forsaken
Forever and always
My rainbows fade

Something in that surreptitious smile
Could it be
... only for me to see?
Like a whimsical cloud on a flutter bye
She hangs brightly on a winter's sky
Time standing still
A mannered thing
Exclamation
And a hand that points at me
Visions of landscapes within reach
Piercing eyes
With a mouth to teach
A well that's deep
Echoing the song
Only an Angel sings
The notes are carried upon fairies wings
To linger
Like the age old question
Do you believe
In love at first sight?
