.
In a cobalt mood, your eyes—
Colour me in graves and dust,
The scent of your hair a lofty drug,
I gave you my hand in the lost woods,
But could not find yours, your breaths
Exhale as I suffocate in a room without
Doors, without walls.  When will this day
Only begin, when comes dear, frail light
We see, knowingly but in pieces?

I once heard you whisper my name
And woke from a dream of true days
Imagined.  A shadow etched my form
Out of delusions and wants in a wrapped
Under night.  I once tasted your calling lips
And died in cauldrons, ocean climes of thirst,
Swimming to the moon in your milky eyes
And mostly all the flighty stars watched
As I crashed into the barren, sodden earth.

And my body, born— fell like black trees,
After a vast, vale of forest blazed in flames.

Rose of your ear,
Lantern in your eyes,
Forest of branching hair,
In Inverness of your midlands,
I shall broach lit vernal deltas,
Kiss deep into darkling depths,
Climb the leaved trunks of thigh,
Drunk in the moisted, muted sighs
Of promise, tendered to surrender,
I shall know your ripened *******,
As bloom of moon paints moons
At night, I will be ****** in milk—
That offers itself to leeching babe,
With little, lithe fingers you rake one,
A wan vagabond, *****, homeward,
I shall know your flowing wetness,
Below my desert, with purpose,
I am lost, in sleep and dream,
May I never wake, may I
Sleep, never, may eye
Always open, keep
In tableaus of oil,
Strokes, hues,
Glittering
Of you.

Someday, soon I will sail a boat,
Away from all the modern seas,
I shall be cast aside, with wind,
The four corners, all calamities.

And gentle waves will carry me
Afar, sailing lost under the stars,
To live in dreamy breaths happily
And never wake, forever slumber,

Free as ocean birds, downy gliding
With currents that are leading true,
To the domes, new heavens hiding,
This is my plan, my soul to renew.

Farewell, fated blue world spinning;
I'm off a rocker, for lofty beginnings.

If I should die with a shunted echo hear me,
Lost fabled one, my paltry heart the snows,
The warmth rides of the chiding winter sun,
The melody and rustling in cantata leaves,

Whose strings of one, plaintive guitar, strung                                      
By breaths birthing breaks, your tracing lips,
White birds, water wings miraculous, not so
Stunning as your steps float above the water,

I am nothing, less, you shine pure, most of all
More than any heart could tender, how could
An empty house, abridgment only, unhinging
Doors coursing reason hold the new day sun?

As flame was my doom, love hear my thesis—
Should I die, look for me in the loom chrysalis.

What time is tomorrow for all the lovers that are lost
between the smiles from their past
a love they wished had gone on to last, and last--
Yes, they’re so very lost, and buried deep inside
call it ego, call it pride
They're buried deep inside their sorrows
they've lost all of their tomorrows.
Their yesterday’s are all gone
and, the love they shared is like an old forgotten song
and, the memories that they had —
are now all just faded photographs
where they’re hidden from their eyes
to forget the pain, and all the lies
like a Shakespearian play of his, and hers
with the other woman/with the other man
both wanting someone to listen, and to understand
lovers that are lost inside tomorrow
just two wounded souls
lost inside their pain/inside their sorrows---
lost inside
where it rains, and rains.

The lonely willow feels the call
Beside a windswept waterfall
The pool of water at its feet
Crystal blue so wild and deep
Is flowing to the endless sea
While singing songs in harmony

The lighthouse flashes warning calls
A sailing ship so fair and tall
Navigates a course to meet
The lonely songs that ring so sweet
The old familiar call at sea
That beckons endless harmony
Something old I wrote long ago that I still like

I am my cats pet
I am trained to be the best
fish chef...
I can toss fresh salmon in the air
with a single flip without a care
with one hand in downward dog
in a headstand while on a log
I can entertain as I coo her name
acting goofy with no shame
while her green eyes say, "You're so lame."
The bubble message just above her head?
 Oh, Hell- No! Not this again!
I really need something new to read. The books you own
aren't up to speed.

Btw, I've read every issue of Film News
Seriously. If I could sing right now?
"I'd sing the blues!
Okay. Okay. I get it now. You're a vegetarian
you don't eat fish, and you don't eat cow.
Check the labels. Check them twice.
You don't eat face.
You don't eat mice.
I'm so happy to be your pet.
Look how pretty your table's set!
