Beautiful Delusion

/

…holding in the smoke, it rushes to my head and gives me a buzz as I wait for the slosh to pass through my throat. Finally, I exhale after I have digested the devil's nectar because I've already been damned the moment I signed my soul away to forever and always play music. I'll run in and out of the bathroom doing god knows what in the stalls, ending each trip with a long and strung out gaze into the mirror, with each stare down longer than the last. In those moments I feel like a fox. A sexy, thick…

…because I feel your energy and see your vibration, of so many colors.

There we are playing the game of 'tug of war,' who is able to pull the other over the fine line that divides us. Will that be you or me?!

The love that I feel and the desire that is with me also changes my colors, do you look at me in awe understanding how close we really are? Like the particles of those colors we are dancing with so many others we are blinded by the beauty we see.

Moving at the speed of light into…

The Luna Moth

/

…flies through the night,

They beat soothing rhythms as she weaves left and right.

They are shaped from the tears of a maiden in love,

And drenched with compassion from angels above.

Her voice like the wind sings of sadness and sorrow,

As she hunts for some pain she could steal or could borrow.

The hum of her tongue as she licks the cool air,

Tells where to find those in peril or despair.

The silvery eyes embossed on her wings,

Shows where to look for regrets that life brings.

She seeks out regret to replace with hope,

So those…

Cry Of The Banshee

/

…howled fiercely

On the cold winter night

The frenzied rain pitted

Windows, shut tight

Thunder and lightening

Crashed and streaked

Closed eyes tried to hide

From the banshee-speak

Moonlight was captured

Trees swayed to escape

Leaves and debris

Littered the landscape

The mighty darkness roared

Across the desolate beach

Yet was no clever match

To the …

The Juncture

/

…the dreams of happiness

To ever go astray

And with the days that ended

As you laid down in the bed

Thoughts of beautiful days to come

Filled your weary head

Sometimes those days

Came bounding in

Mostly, they did not

But when they did you relished them

The others you forgot

Now looking back on all those years

It’s hard to pinpoint when

Unhappiness and vexation

Burrow beneath your skin

And now you stand at the precipice

That's crazy to have to say

Where now it’s time that you decide

What you should do today

At any rate it's…

~Silence

/

…in my head are acting up again and I can't take it anymore,

Can I have some silence?

It's all I want for my mind is a mess with hollow thoughts,

Thoughts of death,

And of life,

Thoughts of sights unseen by the modern eye,

Can I have some silence?

My head hurts from all the noise,

Noise of the forgotten screaming out their names for some one to hear,

The fallen ones scream etched into the hollow walls of our minds,

Walls we built too high and now we cry because no one can climb over,

Can I have…

The Promise

/

…to your house

And knocked on your door

My breathing was heavy

My gaze on the floor

♥I was feeling uneasy

Didn’t know what to expect

But you pulled me in closely

And tenderly kissed my neck

♥Tingles and shivers

Ran down my spine

The taste of your lips

So sweetly divine

♥You took my coat

And set it aside

Excitement now surges

As our bodies collide

♥You whispered softly

Into my ear

All those sweet nothings

I long to hear

♥It was pure passion

Completely laid bare

Electrified energy

Crackled the air

♥We shared happy laughter

I basked in…

The sparrow and the crow

/

…the crow, "you call yourself a bird"? You're neither beautiful or graceful, and you caw, how absurd. You're always alone, sitting in that tree all day long. Unlike me who is colorful, with a beautiful song. The crow spreads his wings and looks down at the bird. My caw is to communicate, not just to be heard. My color is dark, to blend with the night. I soar to travel, not flap just for flight,. My perch is always the woods tallest tree. You will never witness the view my eyes see. For you little…

There Is Sound

/

…room with intelligent

Intelligible language

Language

And God, what is language?

The universe waking up

Speaking to itself

Singing itself to choir

Choruses and talk of angels in the ether from the pews and from the rafters

Silent lightning

Cracking barreling thunder

Laughter

Melodic

Beautiful as that of a lover

The sound crashing the sound;

Overlapping, not breaking

I hear myself scratch my own head-

Like a comet listening to its trail of embers, slower

The bright lights of the sky

Caught up in silent dangle

Geological time

Infinity

The ringing checked metal slug of the toaster shooting out…

The Nomad

…he must do. He’s a cog in a clock, a mindless cog in a clock with the wrong time. The thought makes her chuckle, her clock is the sun and moon; the days of the week mean nothing to her.

She is free to bumble along, finding opportunity in the discarded possessions of these busy, scheduled people.

She knows she is old, but she doesn’t count her years any more, it is pointless to obsess over numbers that hold little meaning if an hour matters so little; then why should a day, a week, a year? One day,…
