I cut myself on the future
I thought of kissing your picture
I detached myself from
lullabies and sorry eyes
only to realize:

I want to make love to you in November,
just before the empty of December.
Where snow blankets
and suffocating leaf-beds
aren't the only dreams
to fall asleep in our heads.

I could hear your voice trip
as my hands started to drip
around your hips and thighs-
You could tranquilize
with your lips and byes.

You look so sleepy-headed
Many words I have threaded
to weave a dream
desperately
but you prefer my
reality.

Know If I could I’d be mending your heart
With the thread of a silken cocoon
Stitched now as one on the eve of the weary
Bound by the light of the moon
Careful to touch with the soft of a feather
Gentle as spider web tears
Keeping you close on the edge of the storm
Shielding your soul from these fears
~
Dew drop beliefs on the lawn they are waiting
Prisms of lighthearted scenes
Dandelion clouds offer sweet pea protection
Butterflies float in between
Watching o’er breezes of painted day whispers
Woven on kite strings of fleece
Playing with echoes, repeating their wisdom
"Fear not for I have found peace"
~
Alas all I have is a poet’s rendition
Spilled now in ink filled with care
Hoping on dreams you will find a connection
Just a few moments to spare
Taking the hand of this forgotten hero
Trusting in him ever true
Open your eyes for a new day is dawning
Written because I care for you
Written for my sweetest friend Sye.  Smile my friend...please?
I
actually feel sorry for him
my
extension
my
avatar

I
wake him
every morning
no matter how sleepy he is
get him out of bed before sunrise
while I hide
deep inside.

He arises
to reply
respond
put out
and
deny.

A hook through the nose
to
catch the bucks
and
cast him out into that
old main stream
where he does his perfect avatar thing
he dances jigs
he placates
he sings
he says please and thank you
can I get you anything
the fingers
waving
at
him
no longer mean a thing.

A master of the palms up
he
can
always say
"who? Not me."

And
when his day is done
I
reel him in
remove
what ever little bucks
he
caught

Sit him down
in
front of the t.v.
gin and juice
and
dancing images too.

Give him a sleeping pill
so he sleeps so sound
no dreams
to
disturb
his life
and routine
a
brown nosed role
in
the
consumer machine.

I
slip
him
into bed
and
sometimes in the late night
I
hear
him weeping.

In
the morning
I
get him up
to
do
the same **** thing .
Thanks to the singer-song writer Todd Snider for the phrase "fishing in that old main stream"
I walked into the dark cafe,
or was it bar?
thick with smoke, blood and confidence,
you could only see so far,
but I could see angst looking at their glass,
and nostalgia was dazed,
stuck thinking aboot yesterdays,
forever searching through a maze,
with no exit,
sadness is sitting with anxiety,
in between silences they talk aboot society,
while happiness tells me to smile,
with a certain style,
I tell them I need a beer,
or was it a coffee?
I do smile.
Anger comes up and tries to start a fight,
but redemption feeling the need to do right,
breaks it up,
To much noise and a black eye,
I say with a smiling sigh,
Time to write.
How I feel when I write.  I also think the title is kinda wonky

The wind blows
Shallow
Through my window
pane
A chill runs up my spine
Forces me
To awaken from my fortress
Of technology and blankets
To look outside
At the real world
Where I fear to tread
