Plains

when I am so suffering
it is not about the missing of
a few of the important people
and the red sky at night
or the dark drinks and sparkly lights of the city
or even the rainy forest we have made,
it is about goals and
making the gate,
this is the eternal aim
when the final finished product
is on your mind every day
as a grateful morning is
coated with enough caffeine
to make it through the whole entire day,
it was a bruise or a pain
that even made you slow down
and I have improved the need
to work right through the hurt
and make my daily
experience put in its place when
the last way was just not
enough of a struggle, I made my
way down for the boiling heat was
just as forgiving as the people
who took everything from me in
the first place yet I wanted to
be here because it made me
be here in appreciation of
the place where spoiled bullshit
doesn’t happen…

Stay

yet
when there comes a time to describe
all those feelings you internalize
will you be able to let me see
what it is that let you be hypnotized
by me, as the sleeping hand of yours
is clasped by mine
there is a sigh you give
that I longed for a thousand times,
I lay next to you
though I am so
awake because closeness to you is
what I have
to make me sane
if I
had any way with words
I would explain the incomprehensible way you
take away my pain,
you called me from
so long being gone
I danced in the
grocery aisle to our song
because you came along
and I adore your
understanding…

flow

right now is not today,
it is merely a measure of time,
a snapshot of a moment
in this voyage of a lifetime;
the direction we choose
and the events we see are not us,
just the interaction of our
energies in a flowing river of
infinity, where our inspiration and
destiny and determination swirl
about us and speak to other spirits
that all conflux, apex, a tiny river
universe, a water curve so
twisting; sometimes a
movie is an album, sometimes a song
is a movie, this existence of us
coming together is a forest,
the roots that intertwine are
unseen, the branches patterns that
redesign sky, and as you kiss
me…the water the sky the trees
this moment, everything fades to a
delicate touch and I feel that
I am known by you,
in this intimate transcendent
unusual dedication
of heart

ink

don’t want to even
go out don’t want to even experience
any mighty negative bullets of energy
from the auras of strangers out in that
disruptive experiment of a
walk in the concrete forest we call life
I can only try so much more
put forth in the effort to prepare for it
and an open door has been seen
and if you can see
the sky and you return to
a feeling you once felt so strongly
while you knew you were going to be
the one who was
coming back home from so very far away
even when you didn’t know the
joy and passion that helped you so much when you knew you
needed it most and the
days were short but the nights were long
as if we had met at a different latitude than could have happened
and I knew that the blood in my heart
pounded for you,
it is true…

not here

on the last night
we would ever share together
you made me experience the missed steps
that our dance was fermenting
so I didn’t feel so bad I was exiting
no cold wind woke me up before then
and very likely would not ever again
yet I was glad to have found just such a friend
danger is not something I have feared ever since
while I hunted the battlefield
of twisted unavoidable serendipity
or fashionable poisoning synchronicity
I was invisible but helping everybody
it was positive that you somehow still saw me
surprised but expecting exactly what you would see
not knowing but correctly anticipating
the screaming and the dreams
how could I see how you would remember me
ran all over that scene

ah

I have a pain that
comes to visit me
some days when I forget I am
only human
it creeps around my
brain for a while
to wake up all the self-
hatred there reminding me of all the
bad things I have done, to make
me feel like I deserve it, to convey
through my nerves what my
emotions already know, but when
it gets so bad I cannot stop
to think, all I have to do
is to remind myself that I have
what you gave me to sometimes
put my hand on, and it
symbolizes there is someone
who wants me to know,
even when a forest fire of hurt is
here in my home,
I am loved,
and that gives me strength
to go on

NOW

can I explain what
makes me happy after you have
made me the most joyful person I
could ever possibly have been
only when I see you
moving forward with this
plan to have each other around for
the rest of our existence
that is what makes you come across
as a perfect personality with only the
best way to accomplish the
finish line that
I have been aiming for ever since
I imagined the bulls-eye in
the first place
and now I know that I
want to live, really live, more than
I ever did in my entire life
and I have you to thank for that
so now I have to
straighten up and fly right
get all my shit together
for once on my goddamn existence

On through

working on through
the life of an unprepared animal
making its way through winter
without a need to stop hunting
or a place to safely rest at
because no amount will ever be enough
when you have that distance to travel
while I made an evening out of
a minute just to destroy my own
past then only the future mattered
and everybody has nothing better to do
than make the faults you have
seem worse than their own
and using that info to draw blood
after being inspired to finish
the race you didn’t know you were in
once the other participants
(like a raven in a wind tunnel)
wanted to be run through the grinder
and I couldn’t get the taste
of burned hearts and broiled spirits
out of my mouth once you have had it
happen to you there is only one
way out of this and that is
after you don’t care if you
were in it in the first place
because you stopped feeling
anything

Arrive

the capturing
of a moment in time
this little realm of photograph
and the day can be as clear
as mud we walked through
to get here
and all of our devotion
to the place we have been heading
is not as remember-able
as the journey
and the few times that we
stop to catch our breath
the whole area
seemed to bloom up around us
and who could’ve guessed
that each time we kissed
I saw a deeper part
of your heart
and the moon was full
and our voices were quiet
as if we were sneaking up on
the connection between us
and I have known you twenty years
but we met again
right here

3 words

I found a
very old page today
it was such an old piece of paper
I knew it was
something delicate
my hands had to be so
carefull with
on it was some Egyptian
letters and in
the hieroglyphic fashion
yet it was not that difficult to translate
and I gave up a message
that are the three words
said between us
from the times of Anthony and
Cleopatra
all the way until today
and in each culture spoken in our
own particular fashion
cruising across the world
in each society in each idiom
and always true
in each and every way
