#entrance
why when we compose
on matters urgent
oh my love
are we not provisioned with
beginnings and endings,
opening and closings?
We know what needs to be said,
the symmetry of butter and bread,
but how to begin and how to end,
these difficulties, not easy to comprehend
how to get
to the heart of the matter,
the door to the hallway
leading and departing
to
the front door entrance,
to the front door exit,
don’t know the words to begin,
the words to end,
which way does
the door open or close?
so read this, please, sit beside me,
while you place your fingertips
on my lips
and encourage me to
just say it!

Sell my fortune for this,
hedge my bets and trim the hedgerows,
turn the corner of my hearthstone
find myself neat and low.
Nice and steady, but ready.
For something broader,
something deeper and more meaningful
meaning I have to try harder
and not just idle out and auction off all of my clothes
I don't feel like washing at all.
I get that feeling often.
My attempts at causation may have caused concern,
but I've found you cannot have something to prove
without having something to learn,
that's why every day I die and come back to life.
breath new life, trifle with new strife.
keep kicking until I get kicked out myself.
isn't that what this life is all about?

Desperately searching
but not moving an inch, standing
Its dark and I'm scared
I can't see past the wreckage
Its too tall and thick
What I'm looking for has to be there
I notice you sitting in the shadows
Maybe, wondering what I'm looking for?
I asked if you knew if it was that way
You came to me and together
With the first step it gets brighter
With the second step it gets clearer
With the third step it gets warmer
Its beautiful, its whimsical
Its stunning, it must be spring
There's a dog caged in behind a fence
He is barking toward us, warning us?
Mad at us? Maybe he is calling for us
To set him free but we don't have His key
What a flower, so rich with power
I want to take it with me,
It has protection that ****** me
A little further there's a stream
In the sunlight it gleams
The water is only the most clean
What else do I need?
Nothing comes to mind so I'll take my time
I like it here
I'm not leaving here
The beauty is worth the stay

One day…
The bird looked up into the sky, from the comfort of her nest.
As she looked to the sky,
She noticed the woman in the moon.
the woman smiled at her.
So every night she would look up at the woman,
Talking till the sun came up.
On one special night,
when the moon was closest to the bird and full,
the bird confessed her love to the woman in the moon.
The moon wept…
So the bird began to fly, closer and closer to the moon,
but as she did the air became thin.
As the woman in the moon turned her back to the bird,
the bird began to fall.
Landing in a pit.
The entrance collapsed,
Trapping the bird.
… Her love was gone,
She would never see the moon again.
~Moral or Lesson: Do not fall in love, because eventually you will be hurt.

I want to just confess,
Not creating a mess,
I love to see her work,
Not some sweaty one,
But right when she studies.
The angel studies dedicatedly,
And I am proud to help her,
Not that she can't do without me,
The tulip is intelligent enough,
But I want to be the dew drops on her.

He speaks; like his casting a spell
Bind my flesh, stun my mind
An everlasting sensation that will consume - eats me
Truly captivated by a stranger
a mystery that I will gladly sought
For I vehemently am enchanted

*Your voice was deep
like an endless well
Your voice was gentle
it made my heart swell
Your voice reached me
Your voice touches me with tenderness
Let it crawl underneath my skin
crack me open, baby I will let you in*
