OBE

Woke up hot and not with you

I'm outta time

I guess we're through

Threw myself away

To get a good look

At you

Don't want the

Card you're writing

It don't seem inviting

Feels like you'll throw

It all away anyway

I wish you would

You are too damned good

My heart can't

Take this pain

You're pulling me out

And up, then

Back to the ground again

 

 

Outta Mind

Too deja for words

That's what I heard

Then I wrote all this down

With a pen

Gimme a Brahms or a

13th Baktun

The timing is music

And it plays in my head

The pain I bare

With the strength of a bear

Is something I'll have

'Til I'm dead

Laughing Bird

Of winged migration 

Those birds fly high

I keep them aloft

With powers of mind

Today I touched the earth

And reached the ground

I spent the Red and marveled

At the Violet I found

Met the mind of 

A man in kind

Sparked my senses

And woke my mind

Reminded me to laugh

My ass off here
and there

To stay true to ME

No matter who cares

Fray

No, I won't let you into my room

'Cuz it's a cocoon

Once you see it you'll be done

I know every trick

To make you one

I love you more than 'want'

Won't put you in the fray

If I keep you where you are

You'll love me anyway

I can't let you get me

NO

I can't let you get me

Keep the incubus away

But I love how he makes me pay

And any day

He'll take my heart away

ReAlize

Giving U all my best lines, but
Mostly U just give me lies

Y can't I let U be?
Y can't you let me be me?

I don't deceive the heart
For most,
That's the hardest part

To reside in truth
When looking straight at the lie

Y can't I let U be?
Y can't you let me be me?


So look at me,
-The real me now-
I'm not the one who used U bad

I'm not the one here to make U sad
I exist to make U glad

HeArt Affliction

Of what am I sick?
Of what is ill?
Only genes and decay
Of the physical vessel;
That leptonic space between thought

Free my will, I will
To once again soar
In the realms

And form new worlds
Not known before

I am not the writing
The words are not me,
They never can be!

Just a feeble attempt
To say what I see
About the sickness
Of me

Casting away shadows
Time isn't in rhyme
Not using sight of designs
On the subjective sides

Plain words won't say
So the closest I find,
Is Pollack's expression
Of behind the mind

The Order of Chaos

Pollack bloomed late
But not me
I can't find it in my Fall
Small promise in my Spring
Splashed across our house wall

Doors are closing
I have the keys
But refuse to believe
I can use them

Don't like this writ of sad
I long for the positive hand
Knowing all is not
Golden Ratio
But parts are hues,
Not just the Bright White
Nor only the Black Dark

All sentients are learning this;
How to choose to evolve
To heed Treadwell's baby-cry
We create and destroy
together - one in the same

Of this,
I cannot speak
Mere language cannot hold
IT's name.

Water of Strength

How do I cry those hard tears
When all through the years
I've done what I could to survive

To break down seems week
To get angry feels strong
Like I'm truly and finally Alive

But I know that's a lie
So I say with a sigh;
That 'tears produce
Rainbows after all'

It's not worth the pain
To escape the wound

The skin doesn't heal
Only feels injected with salt

The physical injury
Will never recover

It only becomes
A visible indication

Of the torture inside

Hide

Heartsounds change amidst the lagging neural fires

It's is as if I've seen wonder for just

a fleeting moment and my body responds

Funny though, how's here's nothing there.

No, no wonder, no awe.

Just the change of the heartsounds.

Quick, quick -- says my fighting spirit; don't let them chance a tear.

I swiftly wipe it from my cheek.
