The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.

And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.

Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.

Encapsulated.
Cosmos
of effervescent night
Gleam oh ethereal brightness,
Luminary Light
unto this bounded rotation,
in the deepness of sole ambit
Humanity.
release this rein
to rise within
and expand throughout
Dawn but to wander
as dusk we do squander
Aurora ignite
in your setting fall of burning amber light
the soft hymns of the birds’ beak do sing
stems to nest a life interwoven
We breathe
to learn
and learn
We must
Herein eclipse
Our souls endless bliss
with illumination to waken
We are cycled
Equal
Balanced
in Revolution
To be raised from dusk
and seen here after
because for this
by a single glimpse
Mines own eye is he
as for You
is Me
and he is she
Endlessly are We
as nightfall breaks
unlocking
the Suns warmth in embrace
when these barriers fall
We are harmoniously nothing
And
No thing
At all

Certain things about people
Make us want to keep them around
The first thing for me is the sound
Of your voice

I know you’ve
Walked on some coals from hell
You never want to go back
I walked there without my shoes

Your closet is like a rainbow,
just bent a little different
You’re the light source and
The light refracts through you

From your all-back Vans to your
Double beaded pearl hair band
You’re the collection of beautiful and comfortable
That the world has searched for

I know I can trust you with
The secrets of my life
Because even if you file them way
It’ll be organized and clean

When we invest ourselves into something
That offers no retribution
We’re already set up for failure
Aren't we idiots!

It’s been ten years since the stain glass window
I loved to look through
Shattered in front of me
The cuts go deeper than flesh and bones
