its always
you.
standing strong or
in a crowd,
it is only you.
so
what,
will you do?
Category: What it is
moving the night closer
a return:
love rekindled. In the silence
of me
I see
me, staring back
with a knowing smile.
it was only a matter
of time.
no matter where I stray,
the good stuff
is right here,
at home
inside,
with me.
lets burn this motha’ down.
Silence
after the herons
and sparrows and
geese
have gone.
after the laughter erupts;
and
the tears are shed;
and
the merriment made,
i turn,
and
there
you
are.
Fifty miles away,
or fifty seconds?
you are never further
than right
here,
beside
me.
on this night
of kings and shepherds;
in the deepest silence,
I find
you.
only,
you.
Clarity Conquered
hot air
blurs
and shimmers,
confusing truth
with
fantasy,
and desire.
stripped
of flame
or the want
of a touch,
moments of clarity
last an eternity.
focus blindly
in this dark
with no moon to
light your way,
and your destiny
will come to you
-to laugh.
fool of a man,
you are the fire
you are the source of all desire.
fear not the confusion
fear not to fall
fear not
fear not
fear not at all
trust in that inferno
seething within your chest.
fear not to give
light to the dark.
give your gifts.
give your love.
save your pain
but gift your all.
the world
needs
you.
i
need
you.
cold clarity invites death.
live a little, and
come
burn with me
you little devil-
come burn and dance and dream to the sounds of fiery rapture.
whispers continued, a soleful solstice
winter
or
summer,
the story remains
the same.
unchanged
and haunted,
do not pity a
trusting fool.
hope,
forever
lost and
hidden
from love’s true form,
spirals
within the
horrific void
of
doubt,
and fear.
self-inflicted hurts
bury the soul
in shame.
self inflicted shame
buries the soul
in hurt.
so,
there is only faith.
lightly whispered in the wind.
faith that the path
through the darkness,
will come back
to me.
faith
in the eternal nature of the spark within.
faith,
that hope shall spring again.
faith,
that beauty knows my name.
faith,
in the wisdom of my way.
wishful balderdash
dancing
on the tip
of perfection:
electric sliding
to ecstasy.
a heavy heart is full
of love…
but love
is light….
so come laugh with me,
and let’s cha-cha-cha
all
night long.
hope lifts you right up
to sip from angels’ cups.
deprivation inspires,
and the deprevation sparks fires.
celebrate
and love
and then celebrate some more.
ascendant
in the
small quiet
within,
i hear the cold
grip of destiny
chuckling.
a struggle against the light
a struggle against the dark
a struggle wrought of fear
a struggle with no end
others
do not see
me.
they are blinded
by the tears shed from their own struggle.
but still they would guide me in their fear.
no thank you.
i shall love the struggle,
and hear it melt away.
i will love the pain,
and see my soul rise.
i may love another,
and feel their soul rise.
i must love myself,
and then,
i might just fly
Arithmetic
me
plus
you
equals
infinite possibilities.
it’s simple,
isn’t it?
so please darling,
put down your
calculator.
footsteps (II)
the familiar clapping
of bats’ wings cloud my eyes.
i’ve been here before.
hoofprints in the snow,
from whence i have come.
i’ve been here before.
sorrow’s bitter twang
does not sound here,
because,
you see,
my friend,
I’ve been down this road,
before.
fear rules a tender heart,
but a fierce one,
oh!
fear fears to touch that spark.
love can only grow,
with,
or
without,
love can only grow.
i’ve been down this road before
without compass, or guide.
i strut down this road today
with nothing left to lose.
i roll down this road alone
for only i know the way.
smilin’ optimystically
grinnin’ foolishly-
no shame at all
heart boomin’ like a U2 song
feelin’ more
than one
thousand
feet tall
knowin’
that the world
awaits my fire:
a blaze
whetted by
desire
all this
from a kiss-
shared by
our sincere lips
