You've Wrapped Yourself
Around me
So many Times
My Tears
Are Death
For Wanting You

Come into my Soul
Repentant Mystery
Release Yourselves
Into our Oneness
Garden of Delight
Sea of Infinity

Your Body and Mine
Driven
For a Purpose
Unbeknownst
To Any

Desire Unrecognizeable

I seek
the whole
pitch
and whine
the petty
grasping
ridiculous
insecure
******* mess
behind the
lyrical niceties

but you know that
you get me
we ride the same
pendulum
apex
of light
nadir
of night
and like me
you're still learning
to speak

sometimes
words die
in your mouth
never make it out
resting roundly sweet
on your passive
tongue
bitter truth
I would forgive
before I'd see you
swallow


*Better to risk offending than let your truth die unsaid.
Now, the mountains rise
But we must cast the dice
Being powerless will not suffice
Fear, must be courage in disguise

But, alas, there the trophy on top
The soil may crack, but we may hop
And as inferno grabs, we must not stop
Until the fingertips, on the gold, drop

It's her, the woman of steely resolve,
who fills every lighted part
of my consciousness,so thankful, I am to her
The wife who never lets down
her man who faltered and fell,
love being the ***** in her armor
she is careful not to hurt there,
our eyes exchange texts, only
we could read and an instance

She was the one who found me out
lost from the neighborhood of her heart,
brought me back from the outback
from the jaws of the beasts of prey,
where i was stuck in a thorny thicket,
lost almost for ever bleeding,pale,
if only she didn't decide to conduct
a one woman adventure, a rescue mission
against all odds,with much *****,
and presence of mind, one rarely see
even in alpha males,who habitually
boast aloud,of having ***** to stand up
against any adversity and fight.
For me it was she who did it and all alone!

Young and callow,
a bird of infirm wings still,
alone i flew long distances
circled around,hallucinatory visions,
lost my way, eventually went down,
my love may have failed before,
but she happened ,in the moment of epiphany,
otherwise would I ask her , without a second thought
to be with me all through the journey of my life?
It would not have been,but her heart listened
to my voice wistfully spoke to it, as if becoming weak,
caught in a storm lashed over the thicket and
she came searching at the right time, rescuing me .

Gun fights and volcano eruptions we survive,
even thunder storms, mad dog attacks and cheats,
broken hearts and misfortunes of every kind too.
Never do I forget this dear face of courage,
the woman staying firmly behind me, a sturdy rock,
sticking to her faith on me and a prayer on her lips,
with the staunch belief that I'll come out a winner.
Lovingly dedicated to sweet Lady M, a fearless fighter
wife of a dear friend, in appreciation of her fighting his battle
with dark demons these days sticking with him, while he still continues his walk in the dark, towards the beckoning light..

Am I getting to close
to your heart.
Do you take distance
for leaving in silence.
Can you take off your
protective shell.
Show your naked skin.
Be fearless in the dark.
Shine your light
from within.
Are you reaching
out for me.
Do you even know
what you mean to me.
My words can make
you happy or sad.
It's your choice wich
one it could be.

Cheers to the queers
Who face their fears
Of living their life
Under constant strife
By the public eye
Displaying their Pride
Like a nobel Prize
I love how the LGBT Community stands up for themselves and shows that they love themselves even if others don't.

she always crossed the street so suddenly,
she would stand right on the curb as cars flew past her.
she wanted to drop out of high school.
run away, and just live her ******* life.
she hated being tied down to something or someone.
she taught me life shouldn’t be taken so seriously
and to live in the moment more often.
she was this mysterious, fearless girl
who wanted nothing more than to figure out this huge ****** up world.

It's time to take control,
And announce my resistance to fear;
I'm not afraid of the monsters,
The demons, the memories, the beer.

Place my hand on my life,
And squeeze it tight,
Command it,
Turn this struggle into a fight.

I'm not fear's *****,
Not anymore,
That's the past,
I shut the door.

I'm not going cold,
Like I've done before,
When long nights,
Meant submission and more.

Refusing fear,
No longer will I wince,
At your leer;
Instead, I will meet you,
Serve you,
The things you do.
