She has no mirror
but where flirt the leaves with the pond
she comes in the cool of noon
mixing the dark of her hair
with the summer shade
dipping into glass green water
her toes and far above
and all the pond sees
encrypts within the bubbles of rainbow
that only her clothes
swelled in awe
can read.

There is no snow, a left turn is a careening roll
7, 8, 9 times, all along the road
Until the carriage turns over and makes us again feel whole
We count the moments that it stays, before it encrypts code
Juxtapose, lizards and rats, seagulls and bats
The underlying message is psychological attack
And when she opened up her mouth she let out a hack
So devastating and depressing that she turned and spat

These old bones and these old dreams are a glimpse of what's passed
And though the skies are turning gray, the blues, in mind, will last
A silver lining is a metaphor, it's never really been
A line designed to separate the sadness from the sin
My friends tell me I am a crosswalk between truth and hate
But in the end the truth is those who despise can relate
Detesting the human race is something worth the time
That's taken to reflect on my stubborn, fizzled mind

A shotgun is all we need to see the light of day
And one bullet is all it takes for them to steal it away
So grab your jewelry and your cash and clip them to your vest
Because your family wants to know the score when you lay to rest
Faultless isn't really a word, thoughtless is a theology
You say spell cat, I say spell Keynesian economy
Aristotle spent years trying to prove epistemology
Existentialism wiped him out with one written dichotomy.

Waiting for my ride to get to the drop of dreams
And when I take just enough I will be caught up in screams
The world around is shaking violently and everything gleams
And the golden from the sunshine on the buildings are my streams
I want to lie in branches made of paper and long legs
Keeping our eyes open, we're all stepping over eggs
Is it any wonder why my strife and struggles bleed?
A warm body and an acid bath are all I truly need.

the evening sky
returned the last star
to it's assigned cartesian
inclination
and the night calm of barn owls
sank talons of silence
into modern
noise

the
flame
in the pit
is having
the last
dream

of mesquite  

it's
reading today's newspaper
from last week.
relaxed reeds catching spiders
and baseballs
all this

all this is dreaming

yellow
bruise hemp
swaying  
over sand
dunes

backdrop for my wine glass.

deadline
tomorrow
oblivious

i could see god getting the job done. wearing house shoes.

he's bumping into things
but catching anything that falls
  always always
been good at that
however weary
absolute Love

bottle of wine, breathing
won't tell a soul
by telegraph
when a light buzz
perfectly
encrypts a moment of clarity
and every little thing
about right now
is true

wild sage landing helicopters with glass blades

black smearing blue, jackson *******
with van gogh's soul,

brush
in the palm
of my
eye

the pair seek my soul
i am comfortably lost looking in them
...your eyes
your mouth dripping my name
slow and sweet honey
my ears hug its echoing pleasure.
your skin adorned with a constellation of freckles
a map accenting your beauty and a message
it encrypts that you need me
i know that i am meant for you.
my soul acknowledges and knows there is no one
but you, my queen.
i grab hold of your delicate hand
my fingers lay through yours
my lips take the flavorful honey
and brush yours with love.
i look steady in your gaze of amazement
i whisper in full truth.. I love you.

there's a joy & comfort in your heart...

I love the things she writes,
they make us feel close
for what seems
like an eternity,
yet sadly,
strangely remote.

She oozes pure sensuality,
such a devil-child,
crafts her words
in special patterns
meant to drive one crazy.

She heats my blood
with pure desire,
the connection buzzes
all of my senses,
mesmerizes me
with snippets
of her own brokenness.

She encrypts
her true feelings,
tells me revelations
& stimulates me
to my primordial core.

I see shooting stars
floating in my tea cup,
and as I drink her bitterness,
I lose my heart,
lightly touch my lips
imagining her sweet kiss.

Missing sunshine,
I wake up again
to her poetry
& feel so alone,
cold
yet still,
warm inside.

A mirror a warp, rivers and weft;
I found a world, in all woven scripts.

A boon rare'n fleetingly
Adamant; courteous in mien,
Your silhouette unbound;
Your complexion unhindered;

A glint of yond'r,
Stolen glimpse, far fetched;
Fluster; gossamer,
It's been long Pucelle.

A glimpse of the unseen, a façade cleft;
There will I see you, yonder which thy beauty encrypts.

If you think it’s just one thing,
while believing it’s not

Or you hope it’s another,
then folly’s your lot

If you swear it sits outside,
as you dream from within

All meaning encrypts,
—and your eyes close again
