What is the definition
of a person
doing it right,
Is it easy to know
or easy to sight.

Do they understand simply
that to be right
is your own game,
you are the king
there is no one to blame.

Do they think in a way
thats peaceful towards all,
or struggle still
and hit their own walls.

Do they fight like me
with these demons raging,
holding my principles
blaming and caging.

Assumptions of innocence,
naïve they say,
but really it's just the same battle
in my mind everyday.

Who do you want to be
where is your truth,
is there a reason you hold back
am I stuck in my youth.

I see and I know
I understand and I feel
but what's right and wrong
what truth is real?

Lustful hands
bent knees and toes,
pushing and grinding
to places I don't know.

The thoughts say stop
but why? I can't explain,
the force to be in the right
holding me at a stalemate game.

Touching and kissing
heat rising,
I'm smiling.
The battle quieted
by tongues
and their styling.

Exploring,
feeling
open but restrained,
maybe when it's right
my heart wont be tamed.

It isn't eternity
The never ending time
The forever you may imagine
The non existent end of the line

It is that moment everyday
When you walk past me
And I stand frozen... Unmoved
Satisfied just to be
Near you!

It isn't a melody
When songs play aloud
Birds as they sing in spring
Orchestration of sorts abound

It's in that silence
When you talk to me
I stand there spellbound
And the only thing I can see
Your lips!

It isn't heaven
When in a state of bliss
Prayers, drugs or meditation
Far fetched like a lover's kiss

It's in those moments
When I'm around you
And manage to be funny
Light up your eyes so blue
Your smile!

It isn't insanity
Like losing my mind
Or being told that I'm crazy
Isn't love considered blind?

It's knowing the truth
About space, silence and time
Yet in hidden secret and darkness
I write another silly little rhyme
About you!

In days fueled by motion
most roll, go along, conform
effortless pace falls short
but if not for the weak,
then the timid, the unwanted
Unbalanced, and immune to empathy
leaving only the scorned
the ones that hear and feel more
imagine that they contribute to a world
that isn't sharing.

i sing a song of the cooing dove
that orbits in blue skies above;
biding time and waiting,
seeking wings of love.

i sing a song of waters still,
teeming underneath;
of predators that seek out fish
until they've had their fill.

i sing a song of swaying grass
on African savannahs;
that weather through nature's cruel
and bend as the winds pass.

i sing a song of songs to sing,
aloud, accompanied;
for one appreciates alone,
but two enjoy a thing.

he thought the border
was a line, between two spaces,  
two tongues
or
a no man’s land  
where imagined demons
slithered through the night  
or,
when dreaming,
a door, to another world,    
yet still a flatland

but he dreamed little  

and
when I told him
the border  
was the slit eye of a fish    
immersed in waves without words  
a place where sound
could be tasted  
and a scent seen  
as clearly as scarlet sky  
and light inhaled  
as a suckled symphony  
when I told him this
he asked what two worlds
this border defined  
as if my words
had been heard by his ears
rather than tasted
as the sweetest lies
maybe one has to have taken hallucinogenic drugs to get this mystical one
