Less is more
Lost and Alone
Forced to float above
A body--My own.
Bounded by nowhere
And nothing in between
It's dark.
This dusty damaged house traps
--Time flying by
Without warning
--Shrinking down
Defy!
Nothing-less
Is what you see outside.
Ablaze of life hovering:
Buoyancy;
Traveling;
Searching;
Longing;
But....
Always....
---Gaining entry.

Ablaze of life hovering:

At Odds: We End
Young love is always truest
When undisguised
Bitter sweet...
I was young once and so were you
We found each other--
Oh how new!
Hearts eventuate:
Deepening, entangling, scaring
Buckling!
Then....
You left and I didn't know what to do
Knowing everything--yet nothing at all
The thought of catching you
--I outgrew.

Wandering Eye
Oh wandering eye
Will you ever die?
A choice to choose
That wonderful muse
Her presence so fair
With every breath of air
I will wait for she
As she will for me
Will you ever die?
A choice to choose
That wonderful muse
Her presence so fair
With every breath of air
I will wait for she
As she will for me

Dissolution of Mornings
Every morning when I rise
I look to the left and look to the right
To my dismay what do I see?
Not my prize!
The allegiance has come for me
With great hostility to be outright
I pick up that fallen star, hold it near
Cast a grain of salt over my shoulder
Accept that breath of air so divine
And endure my secret plight
I look to the left and look to the right
To my dismay what do I see?
Not my prize!
The allegiance has come for me
With great hostility to be outright
I pick up that fallen star, hold it near
Cast a grain of salt over my shoulder
Accept that breath of air so divine
And endure my secret plight

Wright Bliss
Wright Bliss turn of the century
Power line
Road:
Mushrooms
Rocks
Ands those Little yellow flowers
Evergreens
Two lane country road
Middle of nowhere
Till we all get there.

Still
Don't talk to me!
Lie...
...To me...
It's okay, it won't hurt me.
Wanna know why Daddy?
'Cause you're always with me...
Permanently;
Respectively:
Sitting there, in your car,
You say, "I'm over here, to the left"
All I hear is,"find me Little Girl".
Pink Pastel Dress...
Will haunt you!
Dream now: her legs
Surrounding you...
Striped Blue & Grey button up:
Lifting;
Anticipating;
Without thinking;
...

Only Love
I've never loved a man as much as you...
Except when I thought, you'd forget me:
Then I remembered everything there ever was, indistinctly taking over me!
Then I calmingly remembered... You'd never--ever forget me!
Some people call it vanity... But I call it "I'm yours" and "you're mine".
... and you'd agree.
... And I suddenly pictured your face as you read this--
And I saw you--
Unwillingly nodding your head In agreement...
"Don't love me!"
"Don't love her!"
"She'll never be...

Sighless
If I could do anything, "...right-this-second, what would it be?"...
I'd be in the rain standing----
Experiencing:
Face pressing;
Black sky surpassing;
---Mouth opening--Watering
---Patiently awaiting;
Tongue flicking;
Reflection erasing;
Viscera originating;
Autonomously existing;
Fear escaping;
Desire breathing;
Demon irrupting;
Soul seeping;
Sight swallowing;
Melody caressing;
...

Misery (Palindrome)
Misery loves company until
Pleasure in misery--
Assumes a man mistaken.
Mistaken a man assumes
misery in pleasure until--
company loves misery.
Pleasure in misery--
Assumes a man mistaken.
Mistaken a man assumes
misery in pleasure until--
company loves misery.

Jane Doe
I often wonder if I'll die, without ever knowing why
Their haste accounts for my heart's awry;
When my voice heeds without an ear,
I write with conviction--words of sincerity;
In hopes that what is written could adhere;
For fear I'll never escape my designated fate-- Invisibility
Their haste accounts for my heart's awry;
When my voice heeds without an ear,
I write with conviction--words of sincerity;
In hopes that what is written could adhere;
For fear I'll never escape my designated fate-- Invisibility

The Barest of Bare-Skinned Beauties
Your lies consumed you until you believed them,
Your fears and self-hatred command you
You are you.
Emanating possibilities--full of hopes unseen
Dreams now
You are.
Mise en scene--
A giant hole with eyes the blackest black
Who for the life of me can't consider
Why you seek pleasure in the destruction
Of the love for another--
Betrayal of; A wife, a mother, a lover, a friend.
Plays out in fantasy--
Stroke in honor,
As you position...
Your fears and self-hatred command you
You are you.
Emanating possibilities--full of hopes unseen
Dreams now
You are.
Mise en scene--
A giant hole with eyes the blackest black
Who for the life of me can't consider
Why you seek pleasure in the destruction
Of the love for another--
Betrayal of; A wife, a mother, a lover, a friend.
Plays out in fantasy--
Stroke in honor,

The White Horseman
In his eleventh-hour
Heaven hands him his last desire
Eager to be rid of this beautiful disaster
Accepting his fate with joyful gallant
He tears open that invite
And what does he find?
A whimsical gold carousel
Humble in its pride
Illuminating peace, as the sun stood bright.
His sparkling spirit was soon called upon, so
He promptly made his choice with great delight
And triumphantly hopped on
That alabaster strewn white horse,
Tipped his hat and waved farewell
While igniting his eternal life course
Closed his eyes and...
Heaven hands him his last desire
Eager to be rid of this beautiful disaster
Accepting his fate with joyful gallant
He tears open that invite
And what does he find?
A whimsical gold carousel
Humble in its pride
Illuminating peace, as the sun stood bright.
His sparkling spirit was soon called upon, so
He promptly made his choice with great delight
And triumphantly hopped on

Tipped his hat and waved farewell
While igniting his eternal life course
