I'm lonely
surrounded by people and lonely
what is this?
am I insane?
I'm never lonely
thirsty for talk
I want someone to talk to me
talking lays you open
what's wrong with me?
I don't like to talk
wanting to be trusted
but I don't trust
how can I ask for something I

Eyes set on a goal ahead
the destination visible
but how to get there?
conflicting voices
harsh whispers
encouraging words
a blurry line between perception and reality
barely dividing the two
and I must find where it lies
Those who claim to be my allies
one by one they slit my throat
I bleed less

Rest right here in the safety of our bed
And I'll whisper pillowy words thread by thread.
The solid oak fixed to the iron rails
Are my promises not some fairy tales.
If drafting doubts invade our secret place
My skin's silky sheets will keep you safe.
See lights in our expansive

Your face...
it fills my clouded realm of desire
A mirage vivid in a misty dream
tainted with a spark of reality's fire
burning in your eyes the sun's regime...
...your touch...
an illusion evoking heavenly bliss
in the depths of my soul Eden's caress
Your essence a relic upon innocent lips
immortal but

Here am I
in this new and dangerous world
this place
where people live
under oppression
and poverty
this place
where the sands
and dictators
and terrorists
dominate
this place
always at unrest
exhausted from years
of struggle
years of hate...
yet and still
they fight on.
There is home
across vast expanses
of Earth

I am so... thirsty
This is my need:
cut me now
let me bleed
They won't allow me
to lay open my skin
That which begs to flow freely
imprisoned within
I thirst from without
My blood longs to be sapped
Its beauty is hidden
inwardly trapped
a red river invisible
waiting to

This ugly reality takes its toll
on a young heart
ever growing in strength and wisdom
but still in likeness of a child
A piece of your life shattered
a part of you torn away
emptiness...
What can fill this void?
The golden sun that was
her being
has set
You look to the horizon

I'm dating this lady
and it feels so strange.
She's like a super hero
from a video game;
Her legs are strong
her hair's real nice.
She's got a warrior's soul
and a heart of ice.
Ask what she does
you know it's understood.
She's no friend of evil
she's a force for good
Someday we'll marry
and she'll be all mine
except when she's out
saving the world from crime.
I'll tend

I see him in reflective surfaces
and I can't help but to follow
I see him credit card receipts
and I can't help but to follow
I see him in napkin poetry
and I can't help but to follow
Follow him on lyrical sojourns
Follow him into fits of joy
Follow him

in the face of a lily’s femininity.
The Milky Way deluges the sky above
a nocturnal river evanescent; draining into
a crystalline eternal blue sea beneath a fading silver crescent.

I stopped writing you poems
and you don't even notice.
words needing destination
thoughts burning into choruses of sentiment
gazed upon by deaf eyes
eyes distracted
looking beyond my phrase
into self reflecting mirrors
in other worlds.

If I was a dog
you'd still love me
You wouldn't put me out
alone at night
If I was a dog
you'd still pat me
on the head
If I was a dog
it'd be all right
But I ain't a dog
I'm a man
And that was why
it had to end
There's just one thing
I don't
