Coming so slowly and somberly up over the horizon the light of the day makes it's first appearance. Inch by inch it begins to spread it's warmth upon those who need it the most. Need it to breath eat grow work play. Shining up the clear blue sky. Suddenly a breeze comes through damning the

Deep as the ocean a mysterious color of blue-green
Full of life promises love accomplishments.
Unknowing full of suprises
Seeing the enjoyment and happiness
Free vibrant alive
Is what I see when I look into your

In that small moment
Resting safely in time
When I first saw you
And your eyes met mine
My soul cried with joy
Upon finding its lost half.
Then your smile so coy
Made my heart laugh
For it knew what it had found
Though it could hardly comprehend
The enormity

With hair as dark as your heart is fair
you wander through my world.
The Silence is broken by your soft laugh.
I look just in time to catch the smile
that comes so often
(never often enough)
to play with your dark eyes.

In silence I watch I guard I

longlive the dynasty
that wrote the tale of days
hybrid and alone
tears form on eyes of thrones
systematically i scour
systematically i cower
good enough for one more round
good enough for one more sound
the embers are hot
and juicy is the fruit
snow falls
fires shoot up
long live the dynasty

it was the rain and us
under a cruel maryland sky

it was your camera flashing
at a sea of umbrellas in the night

it was leonard cohen on stage
thanking us for staying in the cold

it was the puddle that formed
around your feet

I love you just the way you are
Curly hair and button nose
You're my little star.
Twinkle twinkle and burn bright
If you're not the best it will be all right
But it will sure help if you are.
Be number one perfect outshine the rest in the sky
My little one you may as

Savagely ascend
     and ride in glory.
Let your love descend
     in late night fury.

Let it fall like dew
     in early morning.
Our mixed up love-stew
     what perfect blending.

Let it bathe us clean
     trickling dripping.
Our salty love-stream
     yields musk ascending.

Let it cool us

New age day

picked like a flower petal from the face of humanity

subtle paranoia flowing through our water

vast disgust for the putrid

enamored by the thought of progression

I pray that all is what it seems

mascarades shelter us from the truth

leaving only crumbs from beneath

parallel to the dimension of thought

I've been eaten away
by the worm

The parasite left me
rotten and mealy
beneath the hope
of a blue sky

Though my seeds
somehow persevered
locked away
in the forgotten core
buried in darkness
under the littered debris
of a proverbial nuclear fallout
And yet I fear not
this seeming death

In the blinding darkness
The silence is deafening
The bitter cold
Leaves the body numb

In the dark night of the soul
Walking a path of solitude
To my loneliness
I unwillingly succumb

Inaccurately perceived by those around me
I am left blind; they too cannot see

My words misunderstood as parts

Becoming my enemy
     how you change unwittingly!
Sowing your poisonous seed
     you sprout feelings strange in me:
     passion fevers anxiety.

Near your basket sweet flute-wind
     steals me out to lips so thin.
Losing nature's call to strike
     swaying locks of red excite.

Blue and beaming eyes
