In this life I have found you to love
And in the next I shall do the same.

I love it when my
mind goes blank because for a
while Im somewhere else
I love three-liners

You're like a piƱata
I want to whack you
Until I break you
Just to see
What's inside

Why would you be you
when it's so much easier
to be someone else?
Mmmmmm...
At dusk when the
moonflowers show their
faces to the silver stars.

Mmmmmm...
At dawn when the
monflowers hide their
faces from the golden sun.

Mmmmmm...
You will find me
under the shadow of the willows,
dreaming of him as he recites
verses of poetry to me.

Mmmmmm....

There's an acutely thin line
between the total lunatic fringe
and that which is acceptable

I straddle the line
without
much aplomb
I'm afraid
my feet
dangerously close
to the edge of a
precipice

not brave enough
to plunge
yet
not detecting
firm footing

where the "normal" people tread

saying I care not
what they think
I watch
with both longing
and
repugnance
trying to mirror
their ways
just enough
to preserve
my secret

I have preserved my secret

haven't I?
Written when I was in a confining job. Once I left, I was my own boss...and have been since...very freeing! "Lunacy" feels great!
