so desperately I wish it would rain. I want to feel its many sensations past my clothes to my skin. I want to jump in a sidewalk puddle and mean it. It's autumn, and there aren't enough mustard yellow pumpkin orange olive green auburn leaves. I drank three cups of coffee earlier in the evening, the time is now fourteen past three and I cannot sleep. an indiscreet feverish anxiety fills my interior. there is so much to look forward to all the time. someday I will find my waldo. somenight I will find solace in the vitreous humor of my sleeping lover's eyes.

The light often dazzled her sleepless night,
she spent that midnight blue,
faced the stars, rays of moon,
the sweer clouds and somenight rains wet her skin..
But that light never left her alone.
It warm'd her wet skin,
make her enough swith,
She reached her goal she ever wanted.
Now, somewhere she feel the light
As blessings of her lost loving
Grandmom.

Sometimes some memories and guidelines of someone you love takes you to the goal.

                               Some Nights Around 0400

Some nights around 0400
The silence calls you up for a dreamless dream
About your future and about your past
About that somenight when your dreams are done

The dancing figures of the flickering past
Figure across the pages of the night
Some as happy memories
Some in sorrowful rebuke

Your scope of activity is limited now
But what will you do in the morning?
A poem is itself.

They laugh when i wear a collar,
Ask if I'm a dog.
But they couldn't be more right,
Im feral,
I bite.
I foam at the mouth,
drool spills from crying so hard;
i can't tell whether my lungs are getting any air, in, or out.
And I whine whenever you're not around.

I love like a dog
Too loyal to be mad
Every time you put me down.
Leave blisters on my neck from pulling me towards the ground,
Your fingers gripping my collar to lead me on
And pull me around.
Id let you kick me outside if it meant i got to sleep in your bed again
Someday
Somenight

Anyone else gets too close and i bite
Only to be proven right
Every cold, ******* lonely night
No reply while you're out on a late night drive
Different ***** with her head out the window
While i'm chained to the fencepost,
Lucky if i even see you tonight

The difference between you and i
Is you talk when it's convenient
Whereas i would walk out a conversation
Just to try and start a new one with you


But they're right
Im a dog,
Who doesn't know the right time to growl and bite.
