You are the thought;
The very image that fuels poetry.
You are the colors
That artists, in their canvas, set free.

The dream of dreams,
You are the moon's single envy.
My skin dances around your fingers
And my breath escapes me.

Yours, I helplessly disappear into your lips,
As you devour me in kisses.
And I lose all desire to wake up
When you embrace me.

How does it feel. . .
when at age sixty-four you couldn't ask for anything more
when love is heaped at your feet and it has found its end in you
when everything becomes real and there she is, right in front of you
when your lips touch and you know love is finally here.

How does it feel. . .
when you realize that she is the one
when you know that you're looking for her is done
when you finally are able to see that all she wants is you.

How does it feel. . .
when you reach out for a body at night and find her there to hold
when she wraps her body around you and you know it is right
when she holds on to you all through the night
when her embrace says everything is going to be okay.

How does it feel. . .
when you know exactly what to do
when you know that it is what she wants too.

How does it feel. . .
when I can feel her love when she talks to me
when you know it feels good so you are able to take one day at a time
when you can still write a rhyme about her love.

How does it feel. . .                                    
when you finally realize that the key to change is to let go of fear
when you finally shed that tear of happiness.
It feels so good.

you'd promised so much
as the bottle sank lower
and you'd told me so little
about how we should go slower
in the fast lane, we're flying
towards the destination, we're dying
for change and for certainty, uncertain
for life, love, longevity, determined
there's nothing you'll find at the bottom of a bottle
except regret, uncertainty, and empty promises
to linger throughout the morning, the afternoon, and into the depth of the evening.
they're still creating drunkenness and fright, delight, and depth as i sink deeper into another.

They ask me why I want to die—I tell them—
I am already dead.
They pump that forceful air supply—no ears
Hear words clearly said.
White drowns the place—all space
Leaves me feeling like an empty face
In the hospital bed.
My family cries, I give them lies,
"Accidental overdose"
Wouldn't want to take the time
To get too close.
The truths I've told have only killed me more.

We are both the good eggs
Beating hearts and loving minds
These little bits of pure joy
Light our world up from inside

And that's what keeps me going
And that's what gets me through
When each and every morning
My waking thought finds you

glide up lazily through a maze of smooth cubes.
***** and water
liquid platinum.
I'll sweat out devils water when I wake
panting
and thankful.

Snails copulate.
One's flesh eats into the other's.
