telling faceless lies
watch it fade
absent secret
nameless story
detonated thought
crushing brilliance
simple sorrow
full mind
treasured words
soft beginning
sudden end

milk and honey and all things pure fall from her eyes
telling a story from long ago
before there was meaning in small treasures
her hands small bearing the burden that is now held as if once delicate feathers
as the sea becomes still, only a face bearing sorrow remains; staring back

piercing small wet skin
burnt eyes, numb dullness
solo perching mountain mist
draining sorrow, harmony left
deep blue sleep

And the desert speaks highly
of reprisal.
Astrologers nightmare,
A sordid affair.
O look! Nibiru?
Heaven child, wild awakening.
Birth and dreams in cannibal
Vision.
Scoured simplicity sought souly
So sadness sings of its sovereignty.
Solemn word bands making oily truths
Slip from reason
And avail of the ego of birds.

Your vast black tundra
Rejects the moon like a villain.

A villain in a spoonful of silence,
Beaming like a drunken idiot,
Doleful in divine embroidery.

The servants whimper,
Their Master has devoured the sun!
Picked his teeth with its final rays,
And spit out the bones of perpetual
Night.

It is here we taste our exile.
The vines of our fruit,
Our effortless fruition,
Stripping salvation from erect nipples,
The obsequiousness of fettered, pious
Breast beasts.

Decry the night!
We cannot feast under the eviscerated heaven
That shifts no balance, endures no wine.
The vineyards are cemeteries,
Coiled and grey, twisting tortured
Into dust and clay.

Resurrect the corpse sun,
Regurgitate its supple rays so the servants
May again clamber and arrive at “wisdom”.
Arouse the flowers of the vineyard
on the lips of doting monarchs.

To sedate the ire of Babylonian kings!
Once more!

Wisdom and worlds.
Galaxies pining
And biding unfurled.
Beds chaste with luxury
And whimsy to cast.

Breast of the heavens,
Squeezing your milk,
Taken by gallant, garrish
Platoons.
Seeking a festival without
due parade.
Amazing the silence to which
Armageddon is played.

how long had I been someplace else
drifting like a plank, washing ashore
covered and uncovered time and time again
buried in sands to heavy to shift

how long had I been gone..
how long had I let myself dream
without really seeing through the clouds
how long have I been outside myself
looking inside through broken windows

how long had I been me.

connecting through the cosmos
we meet in that silence
exchanging dreams
through a solitare kiss

when I see you everything becomes clear
the muddy water instantly purified
my past, present and future
all shown to me in that breathe
exactly what I’ve always known

you close your eyes
listening for the voice
that’s always guiding you home
exchanging those words
breathing life into your lungs
as I sigh at your beauty

our love surrounds us
like moths to a flame
telling stories of our lives
then and to come
whispering with tiny voices
exactly what we’ve always known.

I become one with the mother
I breathe with the wind
my hair blows with the grass
I walk with the leaves
and cry with the lake
the sunshine is my smile
taking in the eternal life
a swan smiles, sailing by
