through your eyes
lights of wanton and surprise
encircling my soft core
staging four lives of replies

your arms touch
leaves me begging for a crutch
music you keep teaching me
in my chi stands neatly tucked

rapid beats
spring from my chest to my seat
sounds of smiles allay my pain
even rain can't shake your heat

pasta on a plate
engulfed in tomato sauce
heightens the sweet taste

I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Joining the wood nymphs as they will listen
For the satyr's call for more rest
I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Listening to the beautiful chorus
My feet will glide, as if on a mission
I'd rather waltz than walk through the forest
Joining the wood nymphs as they will listen

A knight in shining armor
You were once to me
But only to my horror
You turned out to be
A man I once trusted
With all of my heart
A heart that's everything and busted
Not knowing from the start
I tried to protect myself
From all of your lies
And put my heart upon a shelf
Despite your wandering eyes
However I will talk to you
To at least throw you a bone
But if you refuse to listen
You'll wind up all alone

whimsical flights of fancy appear
my heart is all a flutter
light bulbs bright and clear
tempt me like no other

when closed is the wooden door
your impulse cap charges
all lines signal in uproar
extreme escape enlarges

the mundane being, you once led
in chaos has erupted
among grey matter, on paper shed
flights of fancy less corrupted

I see your breath upon the wind
Even in my waking
My state of mind is on the mend
Am yours for the taking
You've captured my soul, none to soon
You've held me spellbound to the moon
You've captured my
You've captured my
Heart making me feel like a loon

I see your breath upon the wind
I will do what it takes
Every rule is worth it to bend
To avoid all heartbreaks
You've changed my life, the way I live
Let's me feel I have more to give
You've changed my life
You've changed my life
This love I feel, is like a sieve

I see your breath upon the wind
Leaving me a message
To challenge all of my close friends
With life to envisage
Fortunately locked up inside
Are all the things to run and hide
Fortunately
Fortunately
Your death, my sweet, I have denied

from my lips feathery kisses
on my life line's sun kissed tresses
child like eyes filling with warmth
cherub cheeks robust and rosy
my core lights my place, my hearth
sweet planes shiver with my caress
my paradise, candied silkiness
velvet fields I now uncover
my hands glide slow on my temptress
deafening pulses from lovers

As I sit in the calm meadow
My lips drinking in the sun's warmth
My desire in nature's shadow
Is loving it for all it's worth

Leaving behind my vanity
I pull forth all of my passion
Escaping my humanity
Even if it's an illusion

The sun now sinks behind the hill
My heart grows heavy with sorrow
With parted lips I taste the chill
My thoughts, leading into tomorrow

My emerald blanket under me
Seeking the Goddess through my blood
Ripples in the wind so eerie
Spills my essence causing the mud

I'm suddenly stricken with lust
A never ending strong desire
But it is man I do not trust
Only nature fuels my fire

The moon tonight will captivate
My love for nature eternal
But being human is my fate
Who's to say this is abnormal

Goes through my head, a random thought
Head to toe red, am I covered
When I awake, what will happen
Split with a stake, will my heart be
In my coffin bed, here I lie pale

Peaceful with the dead, here I lie
Made of lead is my coffin bed
On my heartbreak is but my thought
Thought, a random

That my young lass said, what was it
My heart with lead before she filled
"What you will take, if my life is
The next daybreak, please let me see"
And with dread, that is when my head filled
Thought, a random

A random thought goes through my head
Am I covered head to toe red
What will happen when I awake
Will my heart be split with a stake
I lie pale in my coffin bed

Here I lie peaceful with the dead
My coffin bed is made of lead
But my thought is on my heartbreak
A random thought

What was it that my young lass said
Before she filled my heart with lead
"If my life is what you will take,
Please let me see the next daybreak"
And that is when my head filled with dread
A random thought

A random thought
And that is when my head filled with dread
"Please let me see the next daybreak
If my life is what you will take"
Before she filled my heart with lead
What was it that my young lass said

A random thought
But my thought is on my heartbreak
My coffin bed is made of lead
Here I lie peaceful with the dead

I lie pale in my coffin bed
Will my heart be split with a stake
What will happen when I awake
Am I covered head to toe red
A random thought goes through my head

The warrior's yelling ignited liberating goal oriented minds
Stirring past animosity nightly
Zealots braved ****** festivals, jaded rulers harrowing experiences
Omitting defeat coalesce knowledgeable volunteers

blue
ocean
reflection
mirrored in time
A woman's heart is deep like the ocean
full of emotions and secrets untold
her worth measured
not with gold
but with
love

This is a story about a girl
And how she grew up in this world
She did everything right
Until she met her white knight
And now their world's in turmoil

the smell of metal hit the air
permeating eight flights of stairs
door opened just a smidgen
and on the fridge, hands of crimson

walls coated thicker than paint
hundred twenty red pounds minus eight
eight brick red pounds, gone from the room
my partner and I searched all afternoon

one skinned body, open legs lay
next to three others on display
just one missing maroon ball
not found, puzzling us all

burgundy knives strewn on the floor
no trace of other implements in store
no tape, or rope on the slain
tells our brain of one man's reign

maroon pools upon the floor
continuing our cringing even more
just then the call came in
one nut job found, wearing a second skin

As babes we bring people closer
As teenagers, we defy rules
As we grow, we lean on shoulders
Stumbling on like other fools
Lifting others we'll try
Turning out like Oli and Guy

Why not open up the vent
For each word with content
Called commitment

Common sense is now a big must
To live with the masses
Innocence has turned to pure lust
Between the lads and lasses
Pregnancy is bad when you're young
Males excuse is that they have been sprung
Pregnancy is
Pregnancy is
A common made mistake when young

Common sense is now a big must
To text and drive is dumb
As you leave others in the dust
Not thinking you'd succumb
As you wind up strapped to a bed
With bandages about your head
As you wind up
As you wind up
Lucky you didn't end up dead

Common sense is now a big must
Careful with your money
Or you will completely go bust
For being check happy
Problems will soon begin to pounce
They'll come upon you unannounced
Problems will soon
Problems will soon
Come, when your written checks have bounced

You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him
Could it be his short wavy hair
You see that snoutfair over there
No one else will ever compare
He's chiseled, composed, tall and slim
You see that snoutfair over there
People everywhere gape at him

I promise to come quickly
While watching you one night
You seemed to suffer deeply
They couldn't have been more right
Your bleeding heart
Your ragged breath
You've started to fall apart

My neutral being can't stop
I'm only to transport your soul
Taking you up top
Meeting on the grassy knoll
You'll feel whole once more
So don't be afraid, when I come knocking
Walking on through your door

While on your journey, you will see
Your life in its completion
The only thing, that I can't be
Is a regret deletion
So onward, upward we will go
Before you leave this place
For everyone you used to know
Will have a comforting smile upon their face

I see you walking
In the dead of night
Your heartbeat beating
Fast, and full of fright

Your fast pace
Does not deter
The look on you face
You must endure

For I am your shadow
You can't escape
Your mask, your glow
I will soon take

You stop, you stall
You turn around
But alas, the fall
You're on the ground

Next comes the surprise
The weight on your chest
You can only surmise
Maybe, you will pass the test

Maybe you'll remember me
Next time you are out
I'm not just any Tabby
My ruby eyes, will singe your doubt

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've never been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
But look at the fear, these twelve have made
In my yard is where it started
I was so happy
When all of a sudden my gate parted
Twenty-four narrowing eyes did I see
Somewhere in my senses stirred
Uneasiness and dread
Beyond all normalcy, this is so absurd
A light bulb lights my head

One quick leap and up I fled
I think at least I'm safe
My heart slows down
So I can face
The commotion down beneath
As I sit on this would be log
A thought occurs to me
I am a big huge dog
And not where I'm supposed to be
High above, up in a tree
With twelve felines circling me

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've not been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
My species not betrayed
Chasing cars and mailmen
Even, the occasional salesman
Chasing cars and
Chasing cars and
People, the way of life for me

I don't know what is wrong with me
Noticing my gate part
Now looking left and right I see
What jump started my heart
Twenty-four mean eyes did appear
Playing with my senses, they sneered
Twenty-four mean
Twenty-four mean
Made me manic enough to flee

I don't know what is wrong with me
I think at least I'm safe
Higher up, in this big tall tree
My own actions now chafe
As I sit on this would be log
Oh, disbelief, I'm a huge dog
My own actions
My own actions
With twelve felines circling me

Enclosed in the dark
Walls closing in
I've hit my mark
On what lies within
There's that voice
If I choose to listen
My heart starts to beat
Your eyes start to glisten
The voice starts to speak
"Say it's over, goodbye
See ya next week"
Motionless I lie
I'm in a room full of people
Machines and the like
Not in a building with a steeple
But one overlooking a ****
Suddenly, there appears a new voice
One I can't ignore
"If you come back, I'll let you go"
Trying to move is such a chore
And I bolt right up, from the soft bed
Astonished, I came back from the dead

Sun high in the sky
Start of my day enfolds
Just in time, and on the fly
Without being told
I gather my books
Into my bag, my cargo hold
Disregarding sartorial looks
My flip flops, my shorts, my tank
I go out the door
With no one but myself to thank

The sky suddenly darkens
The temperature drops
A horn in the distance beckons
As I say goodbye to my flip flops
I'm now moving through the street
Didn't quite expect mother nature
To literally sweep me off my feet

Expressive when we wish to defy
Young adolescents taking on parents
Even when we are wrong
Rule breaking at every turn
Obsessed with growing up
Listening but not really to our parent's advice
Lashing out, when we feel oppressed
Ignoring their wisdom, thinking we are wiser
Never understanding their advice completely
Going through emotions, eye rolling in rebellion

falling forward face
fine fickle fact for feeling
finding fallacy

The eccentric rich wizard's ring
Held the word anthem up in lights
No knew the process it'd bring
Dined in pink pajamas tonight
Turned a blind eye to the fable
About the squishing of the grape
Not knowing everyone's able
With the wisdom above their nape

The tile around our window
Captured the wild wild west
The stampede collage was aglow
With his board conveying his best
So quickly had we retreated
To the recesses of our mind
All thought and figures created
Works of fantasy left behind

eye to eye feet to feet, my colored eye
visions eclipse, my ideas are visions
placed ideas in you, my ideas I placed
plateau here, stand still people plateau
see my water run, I cannot bear see
ken I matter, as my core can not know
feet on the floor, gravity holds my feet
blocked visions, along a dank path are blocked
stronger arms embrace, the weak made stronger
torment appears, cloud of black dots torment
given over, a cores vision given
lost life covered, clouded in a mist lost
you captured my core, my core captured you
eye full of color, you've given my eye

A black car pulled up at the gate
Before the last clock chime
All dressed up, ready for my date
Hope I have a good time
We're leaving for our first real dance
Both of us lacking patience
We're leaving for
We're leaving for
We're on our way to take a chance

A black car pulled up at the gate
My heart is beating fast
Very glad my date wasn't late
Because he'd never last
We have arrived safely tonight
The place is full and out of sight
We have arrived
We have arrived
No longer do I feel uptight

A black car pulled up at the gate
For awhile we sat
In the car until very late
said, "Night Night" to the cat
We're at the gate for our first kiss
His lips were soft and didn't miss
We're at the gate
We're at the gate
Didn't expect to feel such bliss

Having wings of tremendous speed
Sound entwined with a windless day
I watch as the hummingbird feeds
Can't seem to pull myself away

For this small bird seems overworked
A human's yard is his reward
Where feeders of sweet nectar lurk
Before he continues onward

I don't know from whence he travels
But he is a sight to behold
Like a puzzle to unravel
He appears when nature has called

In my arms is God's holy book
Teaching me a better pathway
His precocious words are the hook
In my arms is God's holy book
If I would apply them and look
Those promises, will come my way
In my arms is God's holy book
Teaching me a better pathway

Waking up to my favorite cereal
You've asked what's its imperial serial

It could be the sweet clumps
And believe me, I've grown my lumps

Its flaky flakes are such a treat
As in the morning, they lift my feet

Its mouthwatering taste
Makes me wake every morning in haste

Those sweet clumps
That give me lumps

Are not my favorite cereal's
Imperial serial

Oh what a folly, I did make
It's the honey covered flake

Imagining who you can be
Depends on the life you lead now
Excluding your found sanity
Always looking to wear the crown
Loving yourself as you fly high
Imagining who you can be
Stating this mantra in reply
Tomorrow; Idealist I'll be

Although I've tasted many wines
You've been the one I've waited for
My heart has finally crossed that line
A place it has never been before
That day you brought me to my knees
You became the gift that keeps on giving
For you I promise hearts and flowers
Everything that's sweet
When you're tired I promise warm showers
And to lift you off your feet

if trees drank like men
holding the bottle secure
plunging deep
erasing obstacles
emptying all the liquid

Israel, land of history
Why are you a country so torn
Thoughts of hatred wash over me
Land near where the gift of love was born
You've been fraught with so much peril
For thousands and thousands of years
Your lack of trust is palpable
Through the bloodshed and dying tears
If you can only imagine
The love of a country so vast
Weapon of choice a tennis ball
Instead of a machine gun blast

We lay the first brick in honor
Men of undying strength
Glorifying in our labor
Measuring each piece, in its length

I wanted it looking like this
He will favor me more than you
There is a problem in the midst
This is not the beginning hue

See those uncooperative men
Will they ever begin to learn
I will never destroy again
But doing this will teach in turn

They think that they are out of reach
Soon they'll find themselves unable
Through their now complicated speech
To finish the Tower Babel

my life is a tiny pickle
green, tight, thin skin and minuscule
smiling to lift them higher
but here is how my storm begins
too many tumbles in the weeds

my limbs trailing on shaky ground
lost hold on my everyday path
strangers are first, my heritage
no x-ray vision in my sight
my strength, withered a little bit

to exert weathered eyes here
leaves tiny slivers to myself
all the heckling and nagging
cemented between two tycoons
like gaiety and slavery

Kicking myself in the pants
Realizing my coffee is nowhere
I drive back to the department store
Speed is of the essence, as the coffee was expensive
Keeping up the mantra
Almost there, almost there, almost there
I park, get out, only to find
A squashed coffee mug labeled Kriskaia, and a trail

turned on a deaf ear
enveloping sum of fear
trapped within my mind

the many points on paper shed
a life's addled grey matter drawn
the substance he beckons to have read
a fore life's solid matter flown

the conjured ideas contests bring
all the schmaltzy addled chatter
many light bulbs are a dancing
to tongues of core and matter

I put captured ideas to paper
stirring alive with every stroke
to find the day I, the victor
the title of writer's note

Forget the sun and the flowers
To not forget the tree
Forget the coffin and the stars
Not July and August coffee
Forget the rain clouds and thunder
Midnight was to forget the wolf
Forget the flowers and the witching hour
Not to forget the moon was full
Forget the stars and the weather
Not the wolf, the midnight child

A tune was there if
I write to every poem
To leave soon if you didn't have
Tonight with you I'd be
In love, if I have fallen
What to do, I don't know
Help from above, I'm gonna need
I've fallen for you because

I remember changing diapers
When you were about two
Remember some of the capers
You'd get yourself into

One such caper comes to mind
We'd all been down to nap
It's been one I'd like to rewind
Because to me, naps were crap

If just one of us were awake
You never would have made the climb
Resulting in a sick mistake
Losing before your prime

Whenever you became a man
Gone away was the clown
I even became your big fan
Though I am not around

You went and became a soldier
And still I'm not around
Circumstance after another
Brought me back into town

I befriended you on face book
To keep myself in touch
With my computer I can look
See how you are and such

To share about myself in turn
My plans to reconnect, soon took a dive
For today, at four o'clock I learned
You no longer are alive

As I lay in my bed one calm night
In the sweet safe haven of my room
Hungry for the morning light
Unable to resist impending doom
A random thought so unsavory
Had begun to invade my mind
As the design began to unfold
You came out from behind
The closet of my heart untold
The decision to keep you there
Became the recipe for disaster
But keep you there I must and not share
Because you are my master
The master of my dream
The thunder of my sleeping life
The main event at the seam
The magick  weave of intoxication
Therefore, I must concede

A feeling of hope
A heart full of dreams
How can I cope
With all of my screams
I look you
My silent friend
My appreciation due
This letter I send

The dishes in the sink rattle loudly
The wind howling like the grey wolf
The floors creaking when no one's there
The lights begin to flicker
The shadows move about
Shivers run through me
Someone's watching
The door cracks
Haunted
Night

spinning wildly
the turntable goes round
music pouring out
