I know you're out there,
thinking of me.
at night in your bed,
as pretty as can be.
The emotions pour out,
but the words they stay in.
In this fatal second we know,
the deadliest sin.

And these seconds tick past,
like the tears that fill your eyes.
As the liquid hits the floor,
this moment never dies.
Hollywood can't hold us back,
Hollywood can't hold us back.

The screaming begins,
as we swear never to let go.
But reality sets in,
our weakness starts to show.
And still you hold my hand,
but were starting to lose grasp.
We whisper don't lose hope,
but were going nowhere fast.

And these seconds tick past,
like the tears that fill your eyes.
as the liquid hits the floor this moment never dies.
Hollywood can't hold us back,
Hollywood can't hold us back.

And we still love so truthfully,
thinking dreaming on your bed,
your eyes as pretty as can be.
And today our bond withheld,
because Hollywood can't take you,
no Hollywood can't take you,
no Hollywood can't take you from me.

(I love you Mandy)

I thought I would pay homage to it.
i just can't stay
in babylon
all the time
i got to get out or i
forget
which world
is real
i have to sit
in the hut
on my own
crossed legs
i got to light
a candle
beat a drum
or just listen
to the music
of the jungle bird
gandhi's standing
on my head
singing
there's always room
for one more
in africa
and heaven
"Dreamers" would be kind, but no--
two liars
from the start.

We can't exist
outside this place

the streets lead us
apart.
Um. As usual, a vague and inarticulate thought. Critique appreciated.
little dark girl with
kind eyes
when it comes time to
use the knife
I won't flinch and
i won't blame
you,
as I drive along the shore alone
as the palms wave,
the ugly heavy palms,
as the living does not arrive
as the dead do not leave,
i won't blame you,
instead
i will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.
little dark girl with kind eyes
you have no
knife. the knife is
mine and i won't use it
yet.
She had been surprised
The first time he approached her
Commented on her style
Her linguistic attributes
And she was new to the game

She had been flattered
When he had asked her to pose for him
Invited her into his world
His territory
And she was new to the game

She had been willing
When he changed the game
Provoked her to change her act
Her art
And she was still new to the game

She had been hungry
When he let his art penetrate her
He invaded every thought
every dream
and she was no longer new to the game


She had been desperate
When she had found that he was gone
But found traces of him everywhere
With others
And she could no longer partake in the game

She was determined
Once she found herself again
And started creating her own life
Her own game
He would not know this game
On balmy summer Nights
Its wonderful to watch their flashing lights
And to hear the call of Night birds
That sing a song to the dancing fireflies

The flowers waltz in the meadow
And the lotuses dance in the lake
And the Moon's shadows ever so quietly
Ballet through my window at Night

This is the time when fireflies
Light their lanterns and fly so high
In the Twilight sky
Full of birds flying home to sleep

I love these Nights
When fireflies and lotuses dance
And the flowers waltz
And when the happy Moon ballets in my room

Mischief in their eyes,
Claws scratching upon my skin,
Cat voices singing.
