Thursday



dreaming of the day…
Singing softly to him
   As he kisses my nose
Write our love in the night sky
Diamonds and coffee
Reading and writing
While he plays me morning
Melodies I sip my tea
And just cry
The silent snow falls outside




I could waste away my 
days chewing and chewing
But what is there in it for me?
When I can’t think straight,
And the walls bleed blue
I can’t imagine the room
Without light- but lately
Nothing can make the butterfly
Fly or the baby cry


for you ( you know who you are )

And even if we just have this for a moment
The taste so delicate, sits on the back of my tongue
I want to taste it again, the sins 
– you make my heart melt
   The overwhelming feeling of warmth
And life just pours out of our souls
The time together we hold, So close to our hearts
A lifetime could be measured in years or tears
Depending on how you look at it.
We have together, such a rare
Beautiful thing, why let anyone else in?
Precious as a stone, our love could make
One hundred gardens grow.
All I know is you give light to the dark
And you show affection towards my wilting
       Heart.
The spirit of home tasting nostalgic
Makes me think sick-  

daydream haze.

but I can’t shake the feelings I’ve been
Drowning in since the day we met
I can see the sun setting in your eyes
Even if I’m stuck in the haze
   I can’t complain about my view





lessons from a dead man 

My father always told me
To wear my feelings
Lightly for boys will
Come in and they
Dance until they’re sick
They won’t know
How to teach me
The ethics to
Grow my garden
My father always told me
To wear my feelings lightly for
Boys will come in and they
Dance until they’re sick       




I need to know where the river ends
If the time we share is thrown in the ocean
Do our bones wash up on shore?
Before the next Wolf Moon, my eyes
Bleed tears of love and regret
I can’t take the sickness from the movement
Of the sea, my heart is thrown
Like an anchor,
Only to make me sink
Farther

And farther

Farther, 
down.


poem (two) 

I’m sorry I was nowhere to be found
That day in the middle of May
I stepped outside and I never made
My way back home
I needed some time
I needed some rest
The air felt so nice
It was such a delight
I couldn’t’ stop myself
I couldn’t help
But think of angels
Weeping, while we
Danced our night
Away to classical music
And red wine

Tuesday




Bees are productive
I don’t understand
Why shoes have
Laces if the human
Wearing the shoe
Is as lazy as a
Bee


If you took the time
To really read through
The cattail reeds
You could find the
Sun rises brighter
On the East -



Take a knife to
The right eye
Chaos chases
The men
Who don’t
Cry
Even when
The rain falls
In spring
Together
We can hear
Our gardens
Grow


I can’t stand the smell
Of the men
Who don’t read
Their books
You have eyes
You have a mind
Why don’t you read?
You’ve got all this time
I can’t stand the smell
Of the men
Who don’t read
Their books



I like it when my mom folds my socks
The way she takes the time to find
All the dots and stripes
I like when my mom folds my socks


To water the garden of hopeless love
Or
To drink from a fountain of blood

Can’t seem to find a reason for either
As long as the sun shines a red kind of
Yellow, I really don’t mind walking
The dog.



You could eat the snake skin Dad brought home for us
Or you could just mow the lawn before more dinner

The choice is yours

You could walk across the street with no eyes in your
Sockets or you could paint Mother’s house with the blood
From your pig

The choice is yours


Lines of nonsense in America

As far as the eye can see
The light in the middle of night
Awaken, a golden hue
Before midnight only the dawn can
Taste her scent. Taken in by the beauty,
Surround the evening with
Mischief and coyote blood 
for him only to lick the wounds
Never forget,
He is the one who holds your soul


Surrender your nightmares
To the Holy Sun before dawn

Take the taste of the ocean
And keep that to yourself

Lines on the road to direct
Us to our destination

For bombs to go off and guns to ignite

Bring the fight

Monday




murdering the minds
birds that can’t fly
child that is blind
soak in some time
the sidewalk bleeds
crying out for help
rain covers the leaves
that don’t fall



no one has to know
the way you show me
the moon


shouldn’t

I shouldn’t have to admit
The light from the moon
Gives me a feeling of regret

great feeling of remorse
like I killed a dead horse
nothing compares to the
air on the mountaintop

peaches tumble down the
hill, where we used to kiss
where we used to dance
before the men mowed
the lawn
before I fell from the fourth
floor

before I felt death
at
my
front
door


Back then
The despair stuck
With me
Never left me
Always in my
Pocket
But with you
I can act like
None of this
Exists
Something so
Pure
Between
The two
Of us
I can’t
Quite
Hear the
Rest of the
World
And
I
Am 
Content 




Nothing can ever live
In this space ever again
Trashed beyond
Belief
Embarrassed to say
These are all my
Thoughts… scattered
Across the hardwood floor
Embarrassed to admit
I don’t feel a goddamn thing
About this.


lilac dreams 

These feelings
…I must confess

Make me cry in the
Dead of winter

Make me shiver in the
River on a July night

Make me dance in the
Rain during a spring thunderstorm

I just want to taste the inside of
Your brain, see where you go when you
Sleep

I want to watch the love inside your indigo
Heart grow

    Beneath all things,

Deeper than

        A soul can shine

I must confess…

I will love you, until the end of time.


 sometimes when it's dead...it's dead.

Have you ever tried to love a dead plant?

It’s harder than one thinks…
The toll it takes on someone’s soul

It makes my black heart ache

Have you ever tried to love a dead plant?

The time you waste watering
An organism that has died –

Nothing can bring it back

Have you ever tried to love a dead plant ?

Tuesday

With the way things are going…

I can tell it may rain later 
And then you will waltz
Across my garden

  With no business being there
I asked for peace, you gave me 
A hurricane


I can’t stand the skin 
I see in the sea’s reflection

I can see myself 
     Buried under years
Of pretending 

I didn’t exist, 

or

My garden didn’t need water

Well that’s a lie 

I am learning that, 

The Hard Way.


fog
Can’t seem to keep
Moving forward
With love in my left
Pocket and years
That turn into
One long
Day

Friday


How is this so familiar
With a decade in between
Nothing seems to
Have changed
Everything, so familiar

The time spent
With you my dear,
Sets fire to my heart
I feel free. My soul sings
Me to sleep. I'm grateful 
You're in my dreams.


Buried beneath a place
Where we sleep
Where our dreams come true
Stuck in between two moons
   Burn the love
Just give me a break
 A cigarette
This tongue exists only for
My lies.
Don’t touch this skin, it doesn’t
Belong to you anymore
 Need to find my way out
   Had enough for my teeth
Fall out and I can’t seem to
Pick them up

Stuck in that room



this past year my dreaming tree died
      a place where i used to hide
sometimes just for a day
             other times maybe for weeks
a place where my voice was
heard even when I didn’t speak





always giving my love to the wrong one
  one who steps on my bones, 
dry and brittle
 just to break them into pieces
to make me feel the pain 


 Trapped in a light
I saw
    A flame
 Before the storm
Before our mess
Let’s push
Let’s bring it back
To the beginning
Before I choke
On the tears
That have been
Here for years
Can’t undo the
Time we’ve spent
Or the time held
Close to our hearts


cut her free
It can’t work if we don’t have time
Take my eyes, take my ears
I can still hear
I know you don’t care, I know your
Mother wouldn’t mind
Just kill me here, with the knife
That you lick at night
 
Inside my brain, living and hanging
Flies, withering away
Trying to make sense of this love
That you claim to give me





Balancing
Admire the illusion
The colors that sink further
Can’t seem to catch my breath
Digging deeper, follow me
Dig deeper
To find nothing here
Alive,
Unlike the time
Not a thing here
Is alive
To find space to breathe
To eat the sunrise
Even before the day
I can’t touch the ceiling
I can’t see the walls
Together a square forms
And I’m there
On the floor
Bleeding
I may die
I am dead
crying




Second cut love 
 I like myself when i'm alone and free
When I can hear nothing but a bee
Just still, beautiful yet wild
So fast, but not even moving
I like myself when I’m alone and free
When I can see the moon on a sunny
Day and the stars fill my mind with
Dreams. I like myself when i'm alone
And free


QUEEN OF CROWS
(depends on the day)

eating the moonlight
a feeling of…
eternal love
   maybe love?
Can’t describe the mess
  Unfading, fading BUT
so BRIGHT
Everlasting lust
Enduring the future
With thorns sticking
Out my side

Wings spread across
   The sky
Ready to fly

Being a Queen:
   Queen of Crows,
Stars kiss me when
No one else can hold
Me

Loving me is loving
The Black: 
no time
No destination
No shapes
   Just black

So before you pull
Out your sword,
The Queen of Crows
ALWAYS asks,

   Consider the time before we shared the
Midnight sky, did you even know
I was there ?



Why do you have such a beautiful bird?

why do you have such a beautiful bird
If you don’t let her live

Her life consists of metal bars and food
    Maybe some sunlight if she asks for it

           (a beautiful bird shouldn’t have to ask for the light, it should be given to her as a gift. As for she is a gift from another world that we should cherish and hold gently)

Such radiant colors
   Beautiful set of wings
 Why do you have a bird if you
Just keep her in her cage?

Don’t be greedy, don’t be mean
   Let her out for the world to see

She has a purpose, she serves as a symbol
Let her magnificent soul rise
     And fly


Free.
    (like a bird should be)

A night away

Write our names in the midnight sky
     Passing by, laughing and smiling
Melting but still cold
  Dance around the planets with me
Wrap my body in that white dress
   And let my hair touch the floor
Funerals are for people who
    Don’t have real friends, so before
We let the procession begin,  
      Pick some flowers from Saturn
and I will water our minds for our
time has to end. 
    In this life, 
     I have come to find out
That all good things die and
Time is all we share.    So let’s dance
Until our feet bleed and our hearts
Make  
        Love.
   



carry on.

Taking time to realize
   The sheep don’t fall
Far from their castles
   Nor do their prey-

Nothing seems array
  When money is easy
To find because the
Backyard tree was gifted
From your Father-

But when you grow up
    In an abode full of stress
And mess: money-less
Things seems real and raw
   At such a young age
Love seemed to be the only
       way-

I don’t ask for you to
Shower me in gifts or money
    All I want is to dance around
The moon, with you in hand-

Sometimes the apples taste
Like the pears, and you want
To be that sweet too.
But honey,

      melons
Don’t grow when the sun
Can’t shine, and the love
In my mind has evaporated
Into a haze-

I just feel for the people
Who think money is
The answer to love.

Because it’s certainly not

Thursday


Heading to the sea (home).

 I need time for me

I’ve lost all my memories
But I can see them rolling
Into the ocean’s mind
Back and forth
Back and forth
Taking the time to travel
I must make my way back
To the sea

    Under the 
Moonlit beach
Our dreams come true
Only to make me think

 It is such a shame

Many men, many women
  Anyone, anything
Seem to fall

Head over their two feet
For me

I don’t understand it
  what do they see in me?
So many scars 
   Cover my human skin
With a crooked mouth
And a head full of
  love lies.
it's such a sin
for them to waste 

their time on this (me)


Tuesday


I seek sunshine on
  Gray days
I seek love in the
Middle of a storm

I seek warmth
From the dead of
Winter
