ocean blue eyes
come take me away
but my soft sighs
aren't heard today
i wish to know
yet i cannot.
i wish to be,
yet i cannot.
such is my life,
my destiny.
i cannot be as close to you
as i wish.
there is a divide.
it will never be overcome.
i do not know if you care
but i do.
please help me.

Jane
The tears surge and abruptly halt, refusing to pierce through the pain and drain away the lava frustrations, agonising uncertainties
Angry skin raised with the mountain of grime clogging every pore of me
No purchase on my chin, my cheek
Witch's wart and inner ugliness seeps outward for all to see, my shame on display and unhealing
Wounded, winded, watery and wimp sick of weighted limbs and a expected disappointment
No tears to dry when you can't cry when you believe the lie when you cannot die

Art is one portal of a canvas

that grants man a chance to glimpse

through its window into another

reality, possibility, absurdity

forged by the creativity

of another human mind,

anothers blazing passion

or twisted interpretation of the world.

SCHEDAR
Etched in the ventricles
lying deep within the
fibers of the southern heart
Trading the beat of old blood,
for the fresh iron of youth's heme
the subterranean vessels
release passion
that ignite fires in bellies
changing the shape
of cells,
where escape is an
endless possibility

Fire isle ferry,
cherry
fizzy-pop surprise

tutti frutti flave
umbrellas
lick tequila salted skies

Soaked in lemon, seaside breeze
strolling hand in hand

Fleeting footprints fade so fast
on Robbin's Rested
sand
sweet candy crush
memories in beautiful
Fire Island

when lies lost
Holding tight
When found
truth, speaking
bright when
tongue is clean
