slum town lullaby,
Dream Dream Dream,
your visions and paintbrush,
weighs more than iron,
and is deeper than oil rigs,
Dream,
Dream until the roads and back highways,
are no more,
Dream,
it will last forever,
if you want it too,
Dream,
Dream,
Dream,
like a river,
made to be drinken by only the purest,
of Dreamers,
Dream,
the symphony will end,
with one piano key,
striking painfully,
at your spine.

inanimate hallucinations

I'm tired of all the Furniture,
starin' at me,
the lamp is up,
all **** night,
the books,
talk so loud the lice,
wake up,
go away,
December,
keep me locked up in a,
shack tower,
and all the,
walls,
say nothing,
while looking at the ceiling,
my spanish leather hand me down shoes,
sit,
in the corner,
with the smell of,
history.

Where Are We, Love?

Feb 2013 Maddie

Kacey Swafford

Where Are We, Love?

Can we have love that is pure and strong?
Can we live a life with depth?
Can our hearts desire more than lust?
can our beats align with righteousness?

Do you care about me for me,
or do you just see a soft face?
Do you want something deep,
or is shallowness our fate?

Can I trust you to be there
when my world is painful and rough?
will you be strong for me
when everything else isn't enough?

When you hold my hand,
You're feeling the warmth of my heart
When you look into my eyes,
You're only seeing the start

I want you to know that I'm in this.
I'm not about to leave.
you have my commitment.
and you have my word that I'll treat you with dignity.

I'll wait for you...If you wait for me

Feb 2013 Maddie

Roger Turner - Poet

I'll wait for you...If you wait for me

Your'e my missing half
The part I need
The piece that fills
My carnal need

You are the one
That makes me be
The best man I
can ever be

I'll wait for you
If that's your wish
I'll do your bidding
Just for a kiss
I'll cross the sands
and swim the sea
I'll wait for you
If you wait for me

Together we make
One complete
We win together
Apart....defeat

You are my yin
and I your yang
You are the words
That my heart sang

I'll wait for you
If that's your wish
I'll do your bidding
Just for a kiss
I'll cross the sands
and swim the sea
I'll wait for you
If you wait for me

I love you more
Than one man should
I love you more
Than I thought I could

You are my finish
My one, my soul
Your heartfelt love
It makes me whole

I'll wait for you
If that's your wish
I'll do your bidding
Just for a kiss
I'll cross the sands
and swim the sea
I'll wait for you
If you wait for me

Ladders

Ladders

i cut ladders
up and down
my legs
my arms
my stomach

maybe
if i cut just deep enough
space the
perfect straight lines
just so
just this far apart

i will be able to climb
up up up

dig my feet into
the bright pink muscle
push the skin apart

and climb the bean stock
to a universe
where

my skin is not too tight
my eyes are not broken
my seams are not ripping
my soul is not shattered

spiralling
out
of
c o n t r o l

saveme

i make ladders
full of hope
because i have none

My Favorite Smiles

My Favorite Smiles

I think my favorite smiles
are the rare smiles

the ones you rarely see
or if you do, it's a little smirk,
or forced, fake, and polite.

I think my favorite smiles
are like gold dust

When I see them
in all their cheesy unexplored glory
I wish to smile along

Consciousness pursuit

Consciousness pursuit

the meaning
confounding sometimes..
it seems this morning
a simple awareness of
double dimensions..
one named I
the other Me..Me often
poses as one's full name:
architect plumber wife
parent teacher homeless
these titles and more..
our rising and retiring
religions and science
joys and pain..
these names we know
yes 3rd dimension..

consciousness gently
steps in and asks
is there more to Me..?
the question pauses
waits for reply
often then departs
finding 3D living
quite enough for now..
yet the question persists
returning most often as
these names we know
seem empty and stale..
perhaps this time
something new
non-local
yes 4th dimension..

consciousness
not satisfied
still more to do..
the task pursuit
must now make sure
both dimensions
endure..
3D found as edging
yes this new Shore...

The eye with which
I see God is the same eye
with which God sees me.

For Elizabeth

For Elizabeth

Its just past midnight
And the scent of you lingers
Caught in my hair
And my chest, where you laid your head
Smelling of lavender
Pure beauty
And as I light my last cigarette
I look up towards the heavens
And ask why in the world
You couldn't be mine

I don't bruise easily (pt 3)

with your teeth, you left bruises
but I wish they were scars
so I could keep you on me
for the rest of my existence
