Friend and Monster

I'll be your cigarette
when you are in the
non smoking section of your life

Just don't leave me
burning in the ashtray
when you decide to quit smoking

I'll be your vice
your alcohol and your
drug addition

Just don't stop me cold turkey
when you decide to be
clean and sober

I know its hard being you
you can be me
I won't be anyone at all

Just remember to
give me back to me
when your done

Don't worry about my wounds
they will heal in time

I'll be your friend and monster

Lost But Not Found

I chased you from surface of the moon
to the shallow end of the ocean
deep into the trees
I am all alone standing next to your absence

Lost but not found

like a tree that falls alone in the forest
I fell in love and I did not
make a sound which echoed off your absence

Lost but not found

unable to find my way back from the edge
I took a step forward and cold not find the fork in the road
unable to make a decision
to many possibilities not enough chances

Lost but not found

I took on step back and tripped over a
dead root for the tree of life
cut down leaving only a stump
exposing the rings of age
three light years around one star

Lost but not found

I lay there unable to move from you absence
I am frozen in time tranquilized by your
presence away from me

Lost but not found

three light years away
two light years away
one light year away
from the moon to the sun
from the sun to a shooting star
across the sky
I make a wish knowing that your existence
dictates my heart beats
my heart beat play the back beats
to your reflection and supply the base lines
to the musical montage
that plays the background music of your soul

Lost but not found

Cosmic Relationships

I like the way cosmic relationships happen

when the ocean kiss the horizon
when the moon sleeps with the stars
when the wind blows through the leaves
when the rain soaks into the soil
when the butterfly pollinates the flowers
when the grass grows from the ground
when my bare feet stand in the grass
when I am waiting for you

Dreams of Mine

Dreams are just dreams
Dreams are not real
Nightmares are a part of our dreams
Nightmares are not real
Bad things happen
Those bad things are real
Those bad things become dreams
Those dreams become nightmares
Nightmares are apart of our dreams
Our dreams are not real
They are just dreams

Stay With Me

I like the way your hair feels
as it brushes my face as I
kiss your soft lips

I like the way my sheets smell
after you have slept over
you look so beautiful sleeping
you look beautiful as you stir awake
you look so beautiful as you meet the
morning sun

you strong legs entangle min
your backs feels strong
your hands are strong against my back

stay with me
stay with me

Next to you

Being next to you
Makes me want to watch myself
dream of you
thinking about me

Velvet Crush

As your red velvet pants
slide off your naked hips
crumble gently to the floor
I thought about being you
undressing for me

We Never Met

I do not Know you
I never met you
That is why we have not talked

I thought we met on day
It was just a dream you had

You have not know me for a long time
You wished we knew each other
That is why we have not seen each other

You thought we met one day
It was just a dream I had

All I Am

To come alive
To be inside
All wrapped up
No need to hide
Here I am
Watch me now
This is what I do
This is what I know
All is done
Who am I now
Am I lost
Come inside
Be with me
come alive

Lavender Winter

Lavender scent
Drifting dancing
Lavender winds
Swooping swirling
Lavender petals
Falling floating
Lavender sky
Painted blended

Over flowing with the hues
Of early morning sleepiness
A hint of blush from a first kiss
Purples blues violets and greens
fading together
Almost Seperateing here and there

Each passing moment
Becomes another opportunity
To unveil another
Lavender winter

At Your Door

Dark eyes
-Searching
Warm heart
-Reaching
Her rice bowl is empty
-Feed her
Her robe is dingy
-Wash her
Her intentions
-Are simple
To find someone
-To love
You could be that vessel
You could be her love

Is it

Is it the morning sun light
That draws open
The rose peddles
To expose
It's ture Intentions
Of beauty

Is it the unfolding
Of the rose peddles
That awakens and entices
The early morning sun
To rise and shine down
On a new day

Is it the moon light
Exposing the black night
That assures the rose
That it is safe
To curl up and sleep

Is it the rose that closes
The natural beauty of itself
That encourages the
rose thorns to stand
guard in the night

My Body Feels Like

My body feels like
I rode a horse with a limp
My soul feels charred
Around the edges
This sunshine has a blind spot
So it rains there all the time
The plight of good intentions
Always suffers in the end
Explanations are liars
And fools who run amuck
Holding tainted jars
of after thoughts
That has spoiled and is rotten to
The core

Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis
Sounds like a beautiful flower
Beautiful flowers bloom
In reds
In blues
In yellows
In whites
In greens
Butterflies and
Bumble bees are their
Closest friends
Pollination spreads their wealth
Cirrhosis
Sounds like a beautiful flower
Beautiful flowers bloom
Beautiful flowers die
Cirrhosis
A beautiful flower

Waiting on you

Back and fourth
The shore birds
Cry out to you
Calling you
Swooping swirling
Flying high
Waiting for you to look high
Look up in awh

Sitting up high on the highest branch
Looking down on you
Unpack your easel
Wet your brush
High quality paper
Water colors only please
Now paint me with
Broad strokes and small details
I have been waiting on you

Swoop low
Swoop high
Glide across warm air currents
Bring up your camera
From around your neck
Focus in fast
take a picture
Take two and then take another
I have Been waiting on you

Diving fast
Skim the water
Diving slow
Rest at the waters edge
Standing proud
Looking indifferent
Take out your pin and pad
Write a poem
This poem
Right now
These words
About the birds
The shore Birds
Waiting on you

Your so good at being you

I have always loved your straight lines

Your simplicity never blurs reality

Black and white
no shaded gray
No ifs
no maybes
Only definitely

The way you move from here to there
Your walk is even cool

The music you listen to is cool
The places you go are cool

A glance from you lingers for a while
When you whisper in a ear it's sensual
Your slightest touch could lead to sex

When you enter a room
your presence has its own intentions
When you leave everybody wants more

Your voice is a song
Your conversations is art
Listening is what you do best
Who can resist that

Everyone wants to hang out with you
Just being seen with you can improve social standing

To actually know you
Well . . .
That's what we all want

The Start of Something New

Spring time winds blowing

Butterflies and bumble bees

Pollinating

Spreading new life

Throughout the garden

Throughout the green fields

The start of something new

Families coming together

Mothers Fathers

Sisters Brothers

Aunts Uncles

Cousins and friends

Joining together

Becoming in laws

The start of something new

A new life

Build it together

Exchange I do's

Exchange rings

Exchange Love

Two become one

Yoked together like an egg

The start of something new

Build a new home

Pour a strong foundation

To stand on together

Put up a strong frame of support

to support each other

Put in the finest glass

No secrets

See things clearly

The start of something new

Praise God

Be in Love together

Praise God

Be patient together

Praise God

Be understanding together

Praise God

Be compromising to each other

Praise God

See things his way

Praise God

See things her way

Praise God together

The start of something new

The shape of things to come

The Shape of things to come
May not even take shape
Even if written in hard black ink
Even if written on a fading cloud

The shape of things to come
Is all things
Is Anything
Has already been
And will cease to be

We can not write it into existence
That alphabet does not exist
We can not read about
Those words will never be invented
You can't be told about it
Those stories will never be known
We can't imagine it
Or dream it

The shape of things to come
It is right here with us
And its no were close to us
It just is

Who are we to think we know
About the shape of things to come
All be it for the grace of God that
We are this far into being us
All be it for our own self-assuredness
That we have made it this far

The shape of things to come
Is without boundaries
Without limits
Yet it has never started
It will never end
It cannot occupy a single moment
It is in every moment of our life

The shape of things to come
Is here right now
The shape of things to come
Was here a moment ago
The shape of things to come
Will be here always
And it will never be
Because it has always been

Destination Heavens Gate

Every night when I sleep
Every night when I dream
I dream the white train is coming
Big and white
Big and bright
This train comes a rolling through my dreams
Blowing smoke
White smoke
Heavens clouds
Destination heavens gate

Men and women
Boys and girls
Seated and happy
They pass by
Singing hymns
Praising God
I see them smiling
Eternal life makes them smile
The train speeds away
Destination heavens gate

I've been sleeping
I've been dreaming
I've been waiting
For the train to stop
Every morning I wake up
Then I know
The big white train
Did not stop to pick me up
It kept going
Destination heavens gate

One night when I sleep
One night I won't dream
And in the morning I won't wake
I’ll be a passenger
On the big white train
Destination heavens gate

What did the night time bring you

Another tap on your door
You pretended to sleep
That doesn’t work anymore

Laying beside you
You held your breath
Once inside you
There is nothing left

You must like it
You didn't even scream
After this many times
You close your eyes to dream

This is your night mare
What can you do
The pain never stops
It's all inside you

In your body
Your mind
It's there all the time
It's enough pain
To last 2 life times

You've lived and died
So many times
What does it matter
Your dead inside

Full of fear and guilt
You live with shame
No one notice
So you must be the blame

Time did pass
Eventually this did too
When you lay down to sleep
You close your eyes
You still know
What did the night time bring you

I'm up a little early

I'm up a little early
Saying "see you tonight" to the moon
Waiting on the sun to rise
Waiting to hear the birds sing their early morning songs
I'm up l little early

Watching the morning dew settle
On trees, flowers and grass
Early morning traffic starting
to get rolling
All the dogs that bark in the morning
are starting to wake up they have
noise to make
I'm up a little early

Breakfast is starting to cook
The coffee is brewing
The rooster is crowing
The day is almost here
I'm up a little early

Put That Down

Put that down
Put down that distraction
Put down "I always waned to"
Put down "I should have joined in"
Put down I should have joined in on that protest
Put down that "I should have helped"
Pick up your conations
Pick up your morality
Pick up a stick
Pick up a weapon
Any weapon
Pick up your passion
Pick up a weapon in defense of your beliefs
Pick up a weapon in their defense
Look around find your brothers
Your sisters
Mothers and fathers
Your friends
Your neighbors
And strangers
Find others who share your passion
Share your common ground
Tell your story to the world
Tell it to anyone who will listen
Tell them why you’re marching
Take them with you
You all join in
Gather at the meeting place
Gather with the rest of them
Start marching
Chanting
Start marching towards
The Injustice
The lies
The greed
Be seen
Be heard
Get mad
Sing your songs
Hold hands
Share the passion
Stand in the face of your opposition
Don't back down
Shout them down
Stick to your plan
Keep your faith
Don't loose your nerve
Be brave
Be strong
Be ready for the fight
Be ready for the challenge
Push back
Push back harder
Compromising is not an option
They must be stopped
This can not continue
They have been wrong for a long time
We must stand and be heard
We must right the wrongs
Set things right
This can not continue
To many have suffered for the
Benefit of others
No more
It stops now
Give them dignity back
That's all they have left

Good Morning Sunrise

Good morning sunrise
I've been waiting for you
Mr. Moonlight I will see you tonight
All flowers time blossom again
The green grass and brown weeds
still wet with dew
