Wants

I want to be

   someone caring

      & complete

I want to see

   myself as

      I use to be

I want to be

   centered

      & unique

I want to see

   the world

      from a new peak

I want to be
   creative & sweet

      fun to greet

   sensitive to my feet

& where they’ve been

   while I’ve been

      walking

         in my

            sleep

I want to feel me

   & prevent them from

      killing me

for the problems in their life

   the problems with the night

      the disasters in plain sight

I want to heal me

   & take all the credit

      for the work u edit

         after I’m done

         

      turning blood into sun

   energy from the heavens

my bones into sand

   worn down like this land

I want to stop you

   from conquering my world

      & stealing my life

         claiming my spirit

      as your undeserving wife

taking all the credit

   for saving me still

      after you spilled

         the air from my lungs

      the sense from my skull

   the balance from my center

The force that I follow

Blue Bird

               Three birds I caught       

                  as they came my way

               Three birds I took

                        and caged away

One was yellow

just a scared lil' fellow

One was red and full of rage

But the last was blue

and  the  only  1  who  flew

I knew all along

I   KNEW   it   was   wrong

To lock up inside

A   Bird   Born  To   Fly

I had to set her free

before she was hurt!

I  had  to let her be

so she could live on dirt

But

it was a

dream

and I couldn't even

scream!

Her head sliced in

h  a  l  f

by a fan

made

by man

She cried in pain!

clawed

at me

to end

all vain

Yet she survived

and

never died

On the fire she

fell

melted down like butter

Cooked upon the stove

never freed to rove

But I had a feeling

her heart was still

aflutter

And somewhere deep inside

she lived

and

never died

Falling Sky

Life's a hoe

      with no where to go

She lurks in the night

      instigating all fights

 

Death is a door

set square

on your

floor

 

Life is a bitch

      with a serious itch

She needs a fix

      she likes to mix

Death is a door

      that leads to more

            and more and more

 

Life is like a

      rock you hit

            when u jump

                  thru that door

 

Death is a stump

      cut off from its lump

It’s buried underground

      with a silencing sound

 

Life is like

      a bumpy road

            that jilts & kicks

                  and won’t be still

I am like

      a rock in the road

that jumps up from the dead

                  to hit you in the head

You are like 

      a blessing from above

            sent with

                  the utmost

                        of love

Reflecting my night

      intensifying my sight

            into a world sent

                  swirling

                        from an old,

       ancient fight

 

You’re a pain

      in my neck

I can’t breathe

      I can’t duck!

 

I can’t move

      out of the way

            of your bullets

      are comin’ way

too fast for me

to move out

o the way

 

Who am I?

      I’ll tell you so

Just let me first

      let you know

I am

      just what

            I said I was

 

You said so

      but I said no

You said no

      so I said GO!

 

You say this

      and we say that

You want this

      but we want that too!

 

You are like

      a shining ray

            that needs

                  to fight!

     

Turn on

      another

            light!

 

And maybe more

so you can see

just what a

fabulous

WHORE I AM!           

Life’s like a fight

      that drags on all night

 

Life’s like a flow

      that’s raging

            down

                  below

 

Life’s like a force

      that’s

            directing

      your

            course

 

Life’s like a fire

        that’s

    pushing

       you

   higher

 

Life’s not a goat

      that you can tote

            inside your pocket

                  till u need a rocket

 

          Life’s like a

         goat

          that stands

        on the edge

    of a steep

   rocky

ledge

Life’s found in that goat

      that walks on that slope

            and never loses hope

You’re like a feather

      that wavers in the weather

You need a string

      to anchor your wings

So you don’t fly

      too far in the night

            too close to the light

 

So you don’t get

      too mad at the fight

            too lost at the sight

                  of our long

                        drawn out

                              night

So you can see

what you need

to be

is just what

you are

in a

deep

endless

sea

                 

You’re like

      a flower

that’s bursting

      with power

 

I’m like a light

      that’s

            fueling

                  your

                        fight

 

He’s like a star

      that’s been

            kicked

            too far

 

that finally hit a wall

that sent that star

that’s been kicked too far

 

back your way

      like a bullet

            biting the breeze

with incredible ease

      and tremendous speed

 

with a force equal to its source

 
 

She’s like an anchor

don’t bother

to

thank

her

.

You are

like

a

light

 

that

temporarily

fades from

sight

 

I am like

a

beam

 

that shines

on

you

 

that

you

must

walk

thru

 

that

lights

your way

&

smiles on you

Death is a door

      and you are

            my whore!

 

YOU!

walked thru

that door

 

Not to be

      a horror

Not to be

      a bore

 

You walked

      thru that door

To be my whore

to love my lore

to strut my stuff

and desire

my fire

You are a door

that I walk thru

to see

where you’ve been

 

To give

      as I live

            like a light

      like your light

fueling your might

 

enhancing your sight

lifting your kite

so that you might

 

live a life

      for life

            as life

in life

with life

Producing life

      Protecting life

            Propelling life

 

We

are

Life.

        

Our Source

The complexity of life

goes on & on

Infinite in range           impossible to hold

The meanings of life aren’t shallow

or simple

But connect us all

in life’s cosmic tango

We each seem so different

in our own unique hour

Living in our own skin

and claiming our own power

We live an illusion where one stands alone

Above & apart

from all that enthrones

Deceived 1 must be 2 not notice the force

that gives you your life

and sets you on your course

Can’t conquer it or own it

Won’t let you devour

Control it or

restrain it

then

you’ll lose its power

Different we all are

in our own special way

Flaunting life’s wonder

with

our

own

private play

But you & I both are products of the force

That connects us all

&

is our source
