-Before I Die-
ripping at my hair
like a pissed off bitch
the air is a violent woman
but a woman with love
fly torwards the ground
at terminal velosity
adrenaline running through my veins
faster than light
this is beautiful
there is no noise
no death
only peace
the world below me begins to shake
my ears pop as i create a sonic boom
the blood pounds in my ears
like the ancient greek war drums
i am twenty meters above the ground
going 400 miles per hour
i spread my arms instantly soaring from the ground
into the air once again
i am a genious
they have worked
the skematics were correct
the bronze wings of Daedalus work
they will allow humans to fly at low altitudes
it is terrific
before i die i want to create Daedalus's Wings
i will be a legend more so than even Daedalus himself

I want if I can
I want if I can
to travel the land
before I lay down
and sleep deep
in eternal rest
I want to touch
the white ivory sands
of beaches around
the world
feeling it among my toes
I want to lay down
under the shadow of the pyramids
and wonder at the ingenuity
of past Kings and Queens
and dream
I want to roam
on vast green fields
where fairies lived
in the days of yore
feel the tall lush swaying grass
I want to wander
in the market place
everywhere in the world
and savour sights and sounds
of the crowds
But most of all
I want to do all these
with you, my intended
who are you...where?
Come to me now....

What To Do
Things to do
before I die ,
let's spin Saturn's rings
then poke Jupiter's eye ,
re-tune old heart strings
fix what's fell apart
then bring
the fell to a new , not far
standing ,
then see some flying cars
buzzing ,
across the skies of Mars
with angel wings .
To jump through time
now that I'd like ,
straighten some lines
in my life hike ,
or try to find
a tandem bike ,
to share with my mind
with one alike .

he stares like a lost child
a longing puppy desperate for this
potential adopter's love
never thought i'd be seen as
more than human
he makes me feel ten feet
under
somehow worthy and it
scares me to the point where
i can't function without him
i need him because i love him
this new feeling is the
scariest part
we will never walk away
and i shall wear his collar

Find my faith in you
Fall completely
Free, like a free fall
A skydive
Or highrise
Suicide, just acheap thrill
Deviding my judgemnt
To let another in
Just once chance
Just one heart
Just one true love
To give and recieve whilst
I still have the strength in me
The nieve ability
To trust

Deviding my judgemnt

Just once chance

Just one true love
To give and recieve whilst
I still have the strength in me
The nieve ability
To trust
Before I die-
I want to have truly lived.
So far I've been several things
to several people, but
Who am I to me?
A giver, a taker, a lover
A deceiver, a super-hero
A villian, a maker of beauty
A destroyer, a creator
A joker and jester,
A rhyme manifestor
A loving sister, a martyr
A intellectual giant,
A mental midget
A smothered soul
A free bird flying
A tortured mind
A tormentor
A fine food diner
A fast food junkie
A character, standing out not to be forgotten
A character playing the supportive role
A spiritual advocate
A sinner
A loser
A winner
A dreamer filling up my days with fantasy
A harsh realist squashing hope with truth
A conspiracy theorist
A believer of the the unseen
A knower of facts and stats
A dismisser of polls and votes
A sinister calculator
A submissive role player
A brunette
A red-head
A blonde? Not quite but pink streaks yo,
A pixie cut, like Mia Farrow- cute, but I don't think so
A tall statuesque amazon
A tippie toe kisser
There is more to be said about who I am to me,
Taking vows with my soulmate is my desired journey.
I want to have truly lived.
