She is neither pink nor pale,
  And she never will be all mine;
She learned her hands in a fairy-tale,
  And her mouth on a valentine.

She has more hair than she needs;
  In the sun ’tis a woe to me!
And her voice is a string of colored beads,
Or steps leading into the sea.

She loves me all that she can,
  And her ways to my ways resign;
But she was not made for any man,
  And she never will be all mine.

I’m often surprised by my eagerness
to fall In love & to compromise
My contentment/peace
for a heartfelt release

Engulfed by lukewarm passion &
a cascade of fleeting moments
day dreams, consumed by lust

Compositions reinforced,
Offer my form to
mechanisms of my past.
they lead me on a retreat inwards.

The ordinary is now far,
far beyond my fingertips.
I'm afraid
"let those fears melt away"
Grasses flourish
mine a bit further
extending out through the chest
and entwining with another
squeezing desperately
visioning gold encrusting our tie.
though, we are not sealed
with an impenetrable bond
threads are frail
and for this to work
it takes two grips to hold on

Porous holes in stone
pull me in, Ill call you home
tucked into mountains


Rooted in the grass
Electric communication
back & forth swayed waves

I desire growth
yet stick myself into mud
just to feel grounded

Whimsy butterfly
worried not of direction
falls into the wind

Ego
dissolved into a spellbound state

to realms that were once beyond reach

And Like
unanticipated spaceflight

Ample
light upsurge, pumps inwards then out

Perfuse
in its race within the bloodstream

Spreading
through you, through me, Straight from heaven
