something breathless
still hungry
borderline reckless
monster razor
anguish gliding
thanklessly over
familiar ranks
imbibing bitter
drinking mystery
tangibly sharp
linking myriads
senseless things
what if
tangled brings
frantic banks
fanatically full
reinventing velocity
think monstrosity
tick tock
guttural reciprocity
one blink
reliving time
every knick
linking knack
connecting fractions
into factual
relatively actual
responsive day
just that
atomic sun
begetting atoms
regretting fateful 
solar eruptions
sunset tracks
bleeding east
trending west
beget timid
kingdom sunset
act terminally
seeking freedom
north briefly
addressing south
maybe best
just really
confess being
fellow worth
tick tock
hollow earth
following ceremoniously
lacking vigor
figure myriads
add Siegfried
desert pyramids
furious love
plus Sigmund
blazing rigorously
scurrilous talk
elastic screams
wake me
when reactive
plastic dreams
become that
curious dawn 
finally arriving
what once
we had
just can't
ever forget
wishing upon
pleasure stars
ritually praying
measuring mystic
virtual night
give into
each driven
marvelous dawn
drawn astray
try balancing
alluring love
stay impartial
lastly measure
that faraway
between two
haunted worlds
knife edge
what treasure
seems righteous
does love
pleasuring strife
ever pledge
even invite
driven between
two romantic
undaunted hearts
imagine running
straight lines
across insatiable
genuine life
swerve contemptuously
crossing love
defining temptress
slitting wrists
treasure razor
refining wishful
something maybe 
fabled bliss
tasteful scarring
solemn death
daring tattoo
fire knows
what Epictetus
convictively wrote
eventually redefining
exposing lucid
marginal realms
ritually deep
bright lights
sparkling feats
blood red
Epictetus notes
ghosting insightful
virgin oracles
even morally
those deep
boasting orally
devotional feasts
what death
sincerely denotes
trust mysterious
perhaps resist
lustful cutting
ghostly pursuits
lest Epictetus
trusts eternal
turning over
crusted fraternity
perhaps thrusting
internally within
recently rusting
that ancient
stoic agent
lying buried
loving grave
dismissing heartfelt
inner love
hurried bliss
love's jury
being formal 
conviction's edge
keen razor
remarkably entitled
engaging phases
bloody left
marking right
ruddy places
eviction poetry
describing dying
stark violence
rearranging misbegotten
tempestuous stages
denying begotten
temptress something
still attempt
even believe
redemptive courageous
self righteous
eventful rages
rivaling concise
pleading eyes
crying signs
tick tock
lucid time
mock wanting
more giving
artful love
perhaps more 
razor love
clever maybe
purpose haunting
still brazen
cruel love
fresh blood
rather daunting
this razor
my friend
wakes up
shaking things
broken blends
shaping forsaken
into mistaken
tick tock
pretend adhoc
tantamount time
love sighing
slice defining
friend itself
until love
frightfully vying
reckless love
finds that
commendable try
minding emotion
what compassion
passionately sends
bending images
what feckless
love itself
dearly defends
blind razor
refined dying
what reverence
reverentially sends
blistering indifference
what love 
influentials edge
ritual insistence
razor rends

some  times
things happen
what about
our reaction
shifting dunes
that creation
loose sand
but as
things stand
things happen
demand explanation
ample planets
blue moons
simple admits
ruination too
that place
crippling fits
relax now
some times
things happen
raging rain
freezing snow
but still 
some how
light enlightens
liquid flows
daylight happens
life splits
nightime knows
life's psychedelia
forbidden shows
fair diplomyelia
sharing right
sharing wrong
sharing poetry
sharing song

so you
mystically move
your magic
delicious arms
like passion
compassionate feathers
floating together
those perfect
passionate lips
making me
simply quiver
your eyes
catching each
every spark
radiant light
reflection beseeching
something movement
never take
for granted
your legs
describing everything
your body
what could
should love
ever do
with such
wondrous features
just maybe
I saw
caught you
in that
special way
where purity
behooves you
where charity
freely plays
those clouds
mysterious clouding
kind of up
our world
mixing sup
our minds
but then
I look
at you
see all
your grace
I melt
inside myself
seeing beauty
your face
so I
truly move
wanting more
of you
no knowing
just how
or what
I should 
ever do
your splendor
moves me
such slender
touching nerves
caressing me
my hurried
expectant soul
when you
rise up
fly away
I wish
I might
fly too
follow flying
where ever
flight may
mysteriously go
but truly
all that
untouchable mystery
you are
every part
that's you
makes me
simply shiver
makes me
always wonder
your movement
taking me
so faraway
from where
I thought
passion stayed
your lips
so kissable
your eyes
entrance me
maybe this
just dream
may God
be magic
heavenly stars
willingly fall
let me once
forever know
your heart
isn't mine
your soul
as it
always goes
flies away
from where
I stand
leaving love
in some
private place
locked up
that space
only movement
could ever
open wide
but I'm 
standing still
compassion waiting
for love
to fill
me up
let me
see you
in that
perfect light
watching you
soar away
to some
foreign place
moving you
which really
that reality
seems true
seems right
this love
I feel
pure water
I'm drowning
my anxious
avian soul
my naked
brazen aire
that movement
life demands
streaked sky
inside us
treatise fire
burning up
yearning light
burning movement
my love
so move
radiant insistence
lifting us
far above
where we
always stand
in time
reborn here
knowing alive
kind love
seeking us
wanting purity
taking us
hand in hand
sure movement
to divinity's 
divine place
God refines
your lips
that movement
your eyes
life devised
so all
your perfection
might prove
perfect love
does exist
mystically holy
driving thing
love movement
simply can't
ever resist
like that relevant
universe's kiss
advent movement
delicious love insists

you know
when
I think
of you
I can't 
help
but feel
that I am
diving deep
into your
vast ocean
I'm plankton
some whale
scooped me up
just like Jonas
I've been
like him
nearly inhaled
yet regaled
spit out
bet now
i am
treading water
forever hoping
I won't
just sink
pray drowning
if some
eruption
astounding play
ice age
corruption
just happened
I would be
abruptly encased
in all that
sincere
severe cold
blue ice
glacier solid
more than
I have
ever been
I try 
to be
somehow liquid
even virtual
immortally fluid
I am 
still swimming
just yawning
simply dying
to reach
try you
fertile land
once again
somewhere
blessed
upon your
rocky shore
so here
I am
surely floating
sleeplessly adrift
in this
deep blue
aroused sea
if I
go under
eventually drown
would you
even see
that I tried
sometimes though
that ebbing
reciprocal tide 
is just
too strong
consider all 
this salt
victual water
I've been
soaked through
strong vinegar
weak acid
pickling my
salted blood
has asking
finally turned
kick-ass
fine or not
tricky brine
this is 
how it is
a final wave
this salty
carnal world
I have fault
gestalt memories
if could only
save us
some how
forge fraught
engraved with fault
all my guilt 
maybe love
has given up
no you are
both of us
but if only
maybe I could
finally somehow
save us
my stilted
shifting soul
geography
that is
monogamously fitful
Artemis sinking
submerged in this 
caustic salty brine
just somehow
just trying
to somehow
just survive
whether
both ours
or is it
only mine
that finally
truth sees 
some true light
let fruitless me
a finally checklist
recklessly behave
be a beggar
reside with me
my bear cave
guess checkmate
show me
enduring continuity
some fate
fitful rudimentary
elementary relief
a soulful blessing
somehow saved
from ungrateful
oceanic belief
love has
is ever
ingenuity
not just some
frantic storm
intuitive grief
raging sea
raving disbelief
those carnal
striving dreams
never let us be
I think of you
lost love
so that is what
I can't help
but always see

so that
moon rises
somewhere
out there
argonauts traveling
human journey
around that glowing
brilliant moon
maybe dreams
planned projection
dreams seem fine
as that precious moon
speaks to us all
speech isn't always
so refined
I'm traveling
in this resilient
somehow
so very much
has changed now
yet still 
in some way
so much remains 
may be 
that very same
still it's about
true love
isn't it
every adventure
that's all about
each heartbeat
love
isn't it
maybe
it's about
God
that surreal being
still it's about
love though
God is love
so we have
been told
feel it
if it's in
your heart
if that part
of your soul
wanting to go
around that moon
fly to heaven
but not too soon
such is life
all this love
more life to live
yet pain and strife
so that
inner vision
far out
in outer space
riding that
knife edge
one slip
just a blink
that moon rises
somewhere 
out there
taikonauts and cosmonauts
different environments
aeronauts and aquanauts
even most modern
clicking internauts
modemality
router alley
yet still
brilliance rises
talk about resilience
instilling curiosity
mindful adventure
objects of desire
this human journey
time after time
measure after measure
sometimes all that
precious vibration
will be 
harmonious sometimes
even rhyme
sometimes even
oddly glorious
time after time
storied us
time after time
after time

something magical
do you ever
have those dreams
that incredible place
dream world
taking us away
into some other
magical space
I have to wonder
just what was real
those recurring themes
unreal intimate scenes
like needing a toilet
and not finding one
maybe you do 
eventually find one
but it has no door
okay friends and folk
that is velveteen
what about space
some far off planet
some surreal sun
even flying through 
that extra special place
God help us
maybe we're at sea
everything in time
just endless waves
perhaps in time
some spectral tide
even rain
those suicidal dreams
even fire
or just about to fall
catch me
in your loving arms
see me cry
maybe as I die
in lonely dreams
it's just karma
all that relative stuff
far off in some galaxy
light years away
you'll wake up 
someday when earth
isn't where you stay
something magical
about it all
having those dreams
about that magical place
so deep sleep
sleep and dream
majesty may visit you
holiness could touch you
that sacred space
you'll marvel at
tears can take us there
fear can drive us there
something about all
those magnificent dreams
something extra special
about this human race

should we
just stand still
or take
a step ahead
take one
step sideways
or take
a step back
should we
twirl around
look back
from where
we've been
maybe still
forge on
or should we
try to fly
like we
are free
or should we
turn around
drive back
into history
that is
life's mystery
just what
to do
just what
to think
just how
to turn
or twist
or shout
that is
living life
breathing being
perhaps some
reckless night
God will come
take us
by one
hand in hand
even if
we can't stand still
God will 
find us
karma's sentience
just good will
so stand up
speak will's sentence
give direction
live your dreams
seek repentance
share your schemes
speak independence
