She was the goddess in the night
Her silhuette shone along the silver gray
Her eyes that danced among the stars
The lips that kissed the sweet air

She had the beauty that behold me
Putting me in my sweet deep slumber
Her hands that lingered long with mine
The face that captured my heart and soul

How I long to touch her
How I long to hold her
How I long to kiss her

In my dreams, she lives
In my dreams, she moves
In my dreams, she caresses
In my dreams, she loves

ME.

My lover
you went away
I thought somehow,
returned one day
As time goes by,
as all I've felt
the ice has formed,
to thick to melt
I see into the crystal blue
the hours in a day too few,
as seasons change,
and as I melt
I realize,
you never left

I stand alone here
Waiting, wondering, why you left
I think what if, then think again
A tear falls as my insides turn
The anguish I feel,
must not be as bad as you felt
The silence hurts my ears
All I know is your gone
I think what a tragedy,
what a waste
I'm angry with you,
I feel sorry for you,
I love you,
and I miss you
I wait for answers
I wonder aloud
Why

Systematically preposterous is sane as weaving round
Incredibly astounding you lift me off the ground
You say you see into my mind, where I have ne'r looked,
the cover leaves a bit to chance, of this ragged book
I hop upon a spinning rug, I swim beneath the sea,
I lose my face as I turn blue, it's who I choose to be
Perplexing insecurities, my nerves have hit a short,
I've boxed myself up tight as night, I've built myself a fort
Surrounded by a million lights, have paid for every one,
ridiculous as it may seem, I still can't see the sun
The fake embers will burn my skin, my nose a fiery red,
Sticks and stones can't harm me now, instead the words you said
I turn the volume way down low, the song inside my heart,
I labor as I try to find, a place for a new start

Spent reflex cannot recall,
if and or what would be
A leaf can somewhat hide behind,
what we don't want to see
The obvious is hidden bout,
stuck up under our nose,
we look so far beyond our sight,
sometimes our minds slam close
Somehow if we would take the time.
to watch the clock tick by,
we'd see the beauty that sits still,
as crystal clear as sky

A beacon shines throughout the night,
to far away to see
The cloak of grey within you lays,
as dark as light can be
Revealing what is right or wrong,
is that which we will choose
The color of the web we weave,
tells if we win or lose
We roll the dice and as they fall,
does it mean the end?
Or shall we tip them were we like,
they are our rules to bend
We travel down the road a ways,
sometime's we pick the path,
but is it from our choice or chance,
when we suffer the wrath

A shade of grey cannot release,
the red inside my mind
A pill cannot exhume the place,
I choose to leave behind
I know what hides within the mask,
the pain is all to real,
and if I choose to falter time,
I may not have to deal
I kid myself then lie again,
to the man inside the mirror,
I tell myself just once again,
who really is to fear here
I pop another smooth sembelence,
of foggy summer days,
as if I keep remembering,
the warm and sunny days
I breeze along and when it hurts,
I try to plod along,
one day when I can make some time,
I'll look for what I long

I close my eyes as there I see,
a picture in my mind
I think a thought as then I feel,
you standing by my side
I wish a wish that wishes were,
something that I could hold,
I hold my hand out as it feels,
to come back to me cold
As I remember things I've done,
and places I have been
I thank the lord for all I have,
and all that I have seen

As though your eyes meet mine a time,
an ethereal force doth from them shine
A glimpse of clouds to walk upon,
paradisaical thoughts seem to unwind
A ounce of you is all I crave,
it feels like waking from a grave
Your voice leaves me with such a thrill,
your soul within me echos still
A scent whispers an exquisite breeze,
my spirit brought upon it's knees
A whisk of instance spilled as though,
rhythmic chimes within me glow
For just a moment Lucid reins,
the love pumps stronger through my veins
I grasp a straw with splintered sides,
the blood echos as my mind glides
I cogitate as I think of us,
discernment's gone I must profess
I pray forever I won't roam,
That we will find our way back home

I wish I was an old lady,
I would know all about pricks,
and their growth.

A multitude of cacti
zombies in the urban desert,
cacti in trucks and on foot,
cacti pedaling hard
push thrust push.

Springing and wilting,
thirsting and drowning.

Of course, then wells would be a wonder,
coaxed (somehow) into dribbling,
then unleashed
and torrents and flashes.

When I am an old lady
I will wear orange sneakers,
converse,
all stars, and
jive talking
I will drive for miles (blin
king)
      left
eventually, oh

my.

The sun shines down,
and then it's gone
I long to look upon
a summers day,
although it feels so wrong
The icy grasp numbs my grip
my fingers feel a tear
or is it somehow that my aura
feels a little rip
I stand as though I see right through,
your eyes into you soul
I wonder why it couldn't have,
been your heart I stole

We share a sunrise then a day,
you used to be that way
along a grassy field of rose,
you left and went away
We used to be as one but now,
were two as two can be
as far as I can tell right now,
as far as I can see

Bees

.
Chained as I am
to an ethereal presence
I lay down like a lamb
and breathe in her scent

Enchantment !

In my prone state of helplessness
upon me she climbs
With exquisite finesse
I am hopelessly entwined

Sublime !

Opening fissure
united in inflammation
Pulsating pressure
acrobatic gyrations

Culmination !

Trembling in my belly
spent and diffused
To quivering jelly
I am rapturously reduced

Seduced !
.

The wind through the trees
removes silence from mind
I look to the sky to remember
my kind
I fly to the moment then leave it behind
I wonder what else could I lose ne'er
to find
I think of a time when lucid was me,
Then look through a window no mirror
to see
If clear was a bell then from it was hell?
I smile for a while then I think That
I'll be
Forever is short when your mind is
What's lost
The fun that I had Was it worth now
the cost?
I lay in the grass as the sun warms my head,
am I in a dream as I sit up
in bed

The gray is where I choose to lay
Sometimes I think it's here I'll stay

A room with walls no color found
my head starts spinning round and round

You left me quite some time ago
I feel the blood no longer flow

Cold and hard my mind has kept
for you there was a time I wept

A sunset membered from my past
smiles no longer in my grasp

Today I try to get some rest
awake is sometimes just my best

Is gray a color or is it gold?
sometimes I wish not to grow old

The snow....Tickles my head
the sun... an I'm out of bed
The sky...turns a bright blue
I smile....thinking of you
Today... I've made a new start
the warmth... inside my heart
Beginnings... some day will end
but never.... for you my fine friend
I think... for a moment of you
Forever... will always be true

Where have you been hiding that one JVRA? That's one of the best I've seen you offer up!

A beautiful tree, full and round,

The winds of change, ripped from the ground

Now to look, to see this tree,

torn in half, like inside me

the winds sway to, and fro to fro,

cold as ice, from north they blow

a wicked tale, to long to tell

my life is fine, I've been through hell
