Third Eye Candy
my love,
you have nothing to fear
save the fear you
harbor...
and the beast behind you
with your name
scratched
on it's tongue
like a thumb
in a ****.

you have me
at my very worst of late
as well as my conjuring of a better man
than I.
the sorceries of introspection
and my lucid inner
light.

your pigeon holes are raven squares
storming a brilliant darkness
that has but one pair
of lost souls.
and nothing else to
spare.

you fit where
the war has a peace
as our worlds collapse in
sunshine
and the narrow luxury to mourn the death
of such a wish
from such a
heart... with it's own
mind.

yes
we roost in the empty caverns
of our needless fight
and humble none the shadows there
that troglodyte.

i love you more than all of this
and pray the same
you might.

i wish upon a star that fell
and found it
in your
eyes.

and yes I know
I know, I know.... I know
it fell from
mine.
Dedicated to Onwona Rene. Forever.
Adjustments to life's seat belt slaps
Can sometimes create a bumpy ride
So don't forget to strap in your
Neighbor before yourself, because
There may be some turbulence
So I **** well hope you don't say the word:

                                BOMB

Or expect the fires of hades to
Come for your *** walking beside it
Barefoot and friendly, just askin
For a smile, but these days
We both know a smile is at a
Premium and lord knows the
Dollar don't go as far as
It used to.
  So roll every penny
And sleeve and keep
Notching your seatbelt,
You earned it kiddo,
Just don't go fallin asleep
At the wheel or you'll
Drift into cowfields and
Hay bales and maybe
See something beautiful
For once in your
Smog-filled, street-lickin' life.

i remember how the room went blue
when i laid eyes on you.
like the lucid light reflected from a pool,
and i wasted no time
diving straight into
your waters

I'd like it if your orange were more blue.
If your red more green
and your eyes more less than moons
that break waves against me.
I glue glaciers to sun
to cool your Spring's mischief
and never am i happy to remove
from my stillness
between Us.

I am unjoyed
in the twine of our lost joy.
Made unkind in the rasp
of our sour glee.

I glue glaciers to the sun
to cool the misadventures
of our dire hope.
I noose the rope and sing
as you go beautiful
away

from me.

I often wonder
where you travel to
when you disappear

Do you float
through orchards of
ripe fruit

to say hello
to the spirits
who wander like you

Or do you travel
to the Mongolian times
with fire in your eyes

to fight the battles of history
as you wish to fight
your mind

Or do you just disappear to
see
me
suffer

you are the blue and golden valleys
glistening in solitude

unexplored and solemn
frozen in dark fabric

I want so badly to reach my hands
feel the way you curve

But temptation is fatal
and you are my death

you stack soda cans on my head and
walk in front of me and
don't let me finish sentences and
laugh at my confusion and
smoke too much and
pretend like you know me and
boss me around and
lie like i'm blind and
ignore me when i'm there and
ignore me when i'm not there and

that's why I dont love you anymore
But we can still be friends

if i was a twig
maybe i'd be able to sleep

trunks are fussy
roots are cumbersome
and you, you are but the smallest bud
a dying breed, a life everlasting
see-saw my wood-rot rings
and make a use for me, will you?

i am nothing but oldwivestales and folk songs
with long-forgotten lyrics
and misread meanings

misdiagnosed
misused
mistaken for
missed

Yeah you facebook friended me and you
Tend to like my posts and I don't mean
You actually like them but when the display tells me you like them,
When I see that red number over above that blue planet in the corner
I feel it in my guts, in my *****,
Like you Like Like me

Yeah but all that stuff's twisted its way into our consciousness like
Jagged metal and I won't stop
Beating my own brains over  the wreckage
Because it feels so good in that
High-fructose, instant ****** kind of way.

But there's my fantasy self, collecting herbs in the garden
He never accomplished anything and he's
Getting thinner and more transparent every day
But from the bathroom window I keep ******* him into cruel, tortured, frightened existence.
