I think
I'm hanging on
too tight
to some
changeless reflection
catching myself
all that wretched
deceptive inception
what if
I'm lingering now
watching myself
through all that
invested sight
all that time
I've spent alone
all those dreams
so sweet and caring
have left me
so it seems
I'm incomplete
completely naked
simply staring
oddly standing
at that ocean edge
even when I try
I'm in motion
to find my
true bearing
I'm so unsure
of how close
I'm standing
to some chosen
prophetic ledge
if I finally wake
take a step back
without falling
perhaps then
my dearest friend
I'll finally see
some pure light
I'll finally find
I already know
that those
distant dreams 
were right
rightly reminiscent
I should
have stayed
but now
I should
let go
of all that 
my uncertain
loveless yearning
if I finally wake
without burning
let my dreams
take me
closer to that
receptive edge
I'll take that step
into that
vast unknown
exceptional space
I'll accept my fall
yet I'll try to fly
if true love
conceptually calls
even if
blue love 
might find me
I somehow
deep down
insightfully know
cruel love
would burn
an infinite hole
right through
my finite mind
sear commitment
a precious hole
into my
admittedly
yearning soul
please love
void of disguise
catch me
let my eyes
be open
as I fall
truly open
this heart
my mind
to true love's
surely unblurred
receptive call
if I had
more time
but time
seems hurried
yet strangely
I keep
hanging on
well mainly
vainly hoping
I'll descend
that danger cliff
I'll look for you
search in both
plainly ascendant
loving heaven
forage assuredly
some perfumed dell
all that way
down into
some precipitous gorge
some marked
unsure dark
infamous well
lift heaven's veil
all that tryptych way
a folding swell
moulding into
remarkably unforgiving
unleavened hell

one drip
one more
liquid drop
those curious
things leaking
into our lives
filling us up
at times
right to our
very brim
as for my
liquid self
like so many
flowing others
I can be
really strange
from glacial 
to steamy
really depending
on place
and time of day
recent mood swings
from black
to white
to everything
is gray
all those
pure drips
so many
clear drops
optimal surely
mixing together
options exquisitely
in every weather
filling me
with begotten
thrilling poems
and other rhymes
dam me up
when I am
soaked and filled
right to my top
cramped and stopped
distill me please
stop me rotting
instill true love
deep inside
caring village folk
if I have
pillaged or forgotten
gotten out of hand
something bland
too unsightly
far too much
reckless lightning
low pressure
measured on demand
just blow me
far and away
like a flagrant drop
in a raging storm
blow me
sky high
mop me up
just another
sighing drip
splashing outside
your private door
let me
find a way
to my grassy
river's edge
let me leak
all my mass
liquid secrets
speak into some
deep vast ocean
volumes of drips
columns of falling
appalling drops
things in high
societal demand
let me flow
into that
tumbling river
shiver curiously
midst those
watery rambling things
where rain and snow
allow that
precious right
to choose
ice or steam
allow me
delicious days
of yummy
ice cream
grant me
sultry nights
please forgive
all my rain
and driven drops
for giving love's
raindrop sake
dreaming drips
liquid kissing
love drops
iniquity everything
lapping it all up
eating endless cake

if I were
just a droplet
of holy water
such purity
I'd want to
splash onto you
if I was
a rivulet or stream
I'd dream
of washing over you
if I was
a rushing river
I'd rapidly try
to swirl around you
if I were
deep blue ocean
fathoms of need
I could truly
submerged with you
would surely fathom
believe in you
if I were
a hurricane
I'd virtually
surround you
our record high
surging tides
all our urgent sighs
finding high ground
emergent with you
I'd fervently rain
so much
liquid love
onto you
you'd wonder
just how blue
wicked love
like deep
sea squid
ever manage
to ponder
midst oceanic
wand'ring itself
deep ocean love
wond'ring itself
if one true
holy droplet
of deep sea love
pure water
could ever
if it were true
refresh you
with all that
liquid love
caressing you
if I were
just dancing
a Venetian fountain
I'd want to
spray love's flow
display romance
shower over you
if I were some
remote glacier
sheets of ice
layers and tiers
of constant motion
cry tears of joy
atop that majestic
holy carnal mountain
I'd melt for you
on top of love
my whole heart
turning to water
each loving droplet
soaring love
downpouring liquid
onto you
making you smile
hour after hour
making you
mile after mile
fly and swoon
each dark
loving night
all our
remarkable mornings
romantic harbingers
rivers and oceans
of shimmering love
streaming into
simmering afternoon
pure holy water
glimmering droplets
surely illuminated
with love's liquid light

when I rose
sweet perfume
rose scent
I wondered
august morning
where was I
was I here
or was I there
when I turned
around myself
I still wasn't
here or there
I saw my storied
fringe reflection
spinning like a top
glory beneath 
my understory
moral feet
all that spinning
mounting instigation
I surely
mostly saw
my introspective life
doubtless incomplete
what a challenge
tempting reality
some attempted
even objective
fair play
odd relativity
that blazing sun
scorching day
assortment done
me stepping 
into my
other faze
my porch swing
dream daze
more mystery
more haze
literally reshaping
my already
distorted gaze
all that earnest
or so it seemed
valiant deflection
inflection here
my inventive soul
more inception there
more sweet desire
both right here
as well as
what is left
over there
a redemptive breath
forever managing
changing life
life transpires
as challenging
Brian's ghost
called out to me
from his dark
somewhere
within that
cold stark
molding wall
Brian's ghost
caught in
between
here and there
somewhere
fraught by challenges
Brian's ghost
warning me
voluntary armitage
momentary calling
watch out
crushing commentary
sedentary things
are about to fall
watch out
rapid rushing
river's deep
still you
muster bravely
cross it
giving everything
without ever
dross failing
never falling
crossing over
cleverly delivered
severely reliving
mortal spinning
sensual diversity
mental temper
mustering patience
a blustery portal
Brian's ghost reframing
trust and temperance
sort of lustful
toasting watching
while waiting
once I'm across
a new beginning
expecting transformation
thinking of deliverance
beyond self determination
perhaps finally
eternal immolation
as I spin
like a fiery top
watching
that crazy blaze
beneath my chastened feet
observing
a living furnace
clearly here
there about
resurrection
current reflection
I'm neither 
here nor there
still revelry 
I'm obvious 
still somewhere
with all that
carnal ferocity
furious spinning
I see 
I'm both here
as well as there
Brian's ghost
calling out
from his
chosen wall
I mostly hear 
something else
but I can't tell
if that sound
is introspection
an entrancing vibe
harmony with revelation
revealing something
I'm still here
repealing nothing
spinning there 
feeling nothing
doing nothing
being nothing
completely
as nothing
but still
nothing at all
funny somehow
breathing here
while spinning
right there
catching Brian's ghost
watching all
his nightly introspection
Brian's ghost
sighing revelation
dying to disappear
back into Brian
within that
neverland wall
spectral chat
a forever mummy 
Brian's clever shell
sent me here
Brian's ghost 
something about 
curious introspection
even delirious elevation
something revolutionary
Brian's ghost
still clearly there
spirit reincarnation
Brian's ghostly intention
lingering here
whispering evolution
Brian's revelation
ghostly elevating words
in my revelating ear

that magic
passport night
where we
first touched
roundly celebrating
imported light
flaming round halos
across vast ocean
that other
southern sight
sounding gentle
where elemental
tender love
held us both
I couldn't help
but wonder
if I would
suddenly wake
realistically
mistake living
with dreaming
ritualistically
find myself
deliver my heart
instrumental art
love's perfect gift
to that
blissful space
transcontinental
elated state
just for dream's
euphoric sake
or so it seemed
embracing nirvana
all we
ever knew
face to face
love struck
intercontinental drama 
when I first
saw you
romance standing
at your open door
demanding truth
tantric manna
in that commanding
mad moment
adrift with circumstance
I knew
for sure
when I first
finally saw you
when you first
finally kissed me
gently whispered
in my ear
how much
you loved me
while I
held you
clearly whispering 
how much
I love you too
my daring heart
skipped a beat 
discretely darling
in return
I became
transparently clear
suddenly complete
feeling shadowless
exposed in that
transfixed
revealing light
all that
flawless
sudden reeling
flooding
rushing love
instantly
I felt flushed
sharing with you
such gentle
breathless naked
gushing love
nakedly baring
our blushing souls
that cosmic
rushing night
skin touching skin
you peered
deep into
my revealing 
fearless eyes
your sweet
cherry lips
your honey
dreaming
caring eyes
reaching out
engaging mine
that miraculous journey
that yearning night
when you
let me come
into your 
someplace life
let me
somewhere
find refuge
take a piece
of your heart
let me hold
all that sweet
cherished love
completely attached
to your discrete soul
what if
infinite matched
magic love
definitely was right
we had
somehow scratched
that concrete
chat room
nightly fright
cementing
articulating
frenchkiss
as to
argent rogue
an adventurous
chat room
consensual
inventive connection
what if
all those advent
internet kisses
brought us
adoringly to
that very
first night
where we were
all heart and soul
love's true
miraculous reflection
something
mystically whole
when I first
met you
I certainly knew
I needed
all your kisses
I knew
we had waited
it was true
all those
longing months
speaking nightly
over phone lines
sharing overtly
satellite trine
all our
bare naked love
true confessions
realizing all
love's true overtones
life concessions
had brought us 
got us there
to that
magic place
where grace
face to face
our four lips
finally met
take our
emergent words
space we
urgently needed
to finally speak
resolving passion
compassionately seeking
generous kisses
all that
untitled love
we shared
all that resplendent
unbridled beauty
I truly saw
looking deeply
into your eyes
in those
reserved and precious
conservative moments
seeing some
of your
fervent torments
I surely knew
you truly cared
both of us
felt inspired
both of us 
felt repaired
we woke
both of us
brand new
now all these
broken years
so much further
so much later
as I still find
subjugate myself 
to those
lost dreams
still somehow
I'm with you
still holding you
somehow it seems
you are rapture
wrapped in my arms
smiles and laughter
stroking your hair
smiles caressing
your lovely face
love and laughter
In my dream
I'm still kissing
your inviting
trusting mouth
love parting
our ready lips
I wish
I could still be
your southern cross
your magic
some true south
I wish
I could
have you
hold you
in my arms
still wanting
every night
like that
very first night
when we
first truly met
when true love
assured us
what we both
were feeling
all our love
that passionate thirst
integrating our belief
beneath that
southern cross
we'd come so far
love crossing
that southern ocean
all those
intense
southern stars
lighting that
precious way
intensified emotions
washing over us
geographic notions
comforted by perfect love
surely meadows
white yarrow
purple clover
love's ley lines
covering vast ocean
love's liquid cure
surely inline
your fortuitous garden
a vibrant sea
those colourful blossoms
all that
ubiquitous
perfumed love
with all
its pixie textures
with all
its angel sides
love involving
deep ocean tides
compassionate motion
our passionate kisses
destiny of true love
our tidal future
clinging
to that
fateful ride
bringing
letting
welcome love
finding that
welcome zone
love's own
universal mission 
creating poetry
applauding verse
welcome heaven
letting
treasured love
a romance tome
words deep inside
love's perfect goal
so welcome home
all those sighs
delicious kisses
love's perfectly
carnal deliciousness
most welcome soul
that welcome space
where precious love
makes us feel whole
where precious love
gives us this
gentle loving
your human face

those fragrant
chosen notes
quintessential
elementary forensic
essential sparks
we thought
from heaven
transcendence
we sought
from on high
volunteer herbage
beautiful gardens
sultry phrases
rainbow words
showy flowers
fearless praises
universal power
transcendent verbage
unforgivably resplendent
short but sweet 
revered enlightenment
doctrines of tears
shocking clearly
soothing dearly
delicious treats
soothsayers
addressing fears
redirecting
pressing mistakes
volunteer followers
willingly partake
in modern howling
optimally revealing
cleverly concealed
stoic creation
inner growling 
sinner heat
beneath solid
ethereal rock
still somewhere
far above
apex of extreme
para-mountains
divinely ancient
glimmering
golden towers
that uplifting
supreme
sentient love
consisting of sweet
shimmering dreams
solving homonyms
relevant omniscience
proving antonyms
but there are
those other
devils and demons
despicable
substrate critters
unaccountable
purely money filters
surely camouflaged
surreptitiously hidden
shrouded in clouds
of blinding
economic ink
all those linked
suckered arms
octopus tentacles
relaxed and untaxed
party on giant squid
with your gangster islands
fortified castles
mansions of luxury
predators in enclaves
entertaining
sardines and candlefish
regimenting
schools of personal slaves
portrayed as priceless
carrying master's
gem studded litter
regaled by those
remaining marks
imaginary scales
overflowing
with oily  fish
ravenous pirates
those buccaneers
those great white sharks
their primal vice
boasting riches
perched on pool stools
friends and cohorts
relishing power
somehow
always abstaining
never paying taxes
reframing billionaires
perched above every law
playful grinning sorts
rich bro desires
desired exultation
research depraved
bejeweled
kings and queens
yet so richly enslaved
within their own
growing repugnant
political caves
each stagnant mire
waste water
currently plagued
by more hasty flooding
so they too
are sinking
imbibing such
dark desires
deep pools
overflowing
rot that's stinking
spot on
impressive
political stool
so fascist bitter
that totalitarian sweet
impressive bleating
speaking tongues
disguising
discreet money lies
so here
we are
joe public
jobless josephine
grubbing and muttering
constantly seeking
what we thought
was truly right
consciously invoking
what we thought
beseeching
truth and light
trials of sputtering
concentric vicissitude
can we
even believe
such odd
geocentric
absurdities
involving
fake truth
inevitably
we think
possible miracles
relatively
concentric circles
we understand
dumber things
obviously
do we
clearly see
with our
two blurry
party eyes
our own
slurred truth
skewed vision
should we
ever think
even truly
envision
something
less happy
involving
burnt stew
boiled into derision
thin soup
recipes of inedible
double speak
readily corrupt
steady division
a new vocabulary
new potatoes
mystery recipes
oral disruption
finger pointing
vocal power
anointed by blistering
sudden eruptions
further risking more
political repulsion
more souring
societal ties
more acidic sulphur rain
chemically evolving
consider nature
something
morally dissolving
oddly into even
more crappy
as even more
fake truth
becomes respectable
those bitter critters
twitter unjustifiable
utterly inexcusable
self absolution
butt-hole selfish
unjust resolutions
adjusting so many
brazenly despotic
cruel hateful lies
further confounding
society's political ties
all those kisses
we thought
we were 
going to get
instead it's been
handcuffs and jail
or a bullet
to this already
exploded head
loads of propaganda
poisonous toads and animals
propped up scavengers
roadside cannibals
vengefully piercing
my roasted brain
maybe all that
immolating pain
all these boastful mornings
interpolating hopeful dawn
into desperate moaning
kamikaze drones
igniting protestor's fires
jittery critters started
political ignition
power to burn us
wealth ambition
surely bleeding us
turning us into
sharp edged cinders
molded debris
pledged credit cards
mounds of cold cash
bold big brother
leaving nothing but cold ash
untold piles of residue
remotely mouthing dedication
miles of barren
final resolution
educated critter policies
atomic ground
subjugating
us uneducated fools
even dumbfounded
soundly becoming
astronomically resentful
profoundly illogical
we become foreign
bearing altered critter's
beautiful Caesar ego
biological revolution
astrologically beginning
we thought
dutifully
anatomically befitting
those subatomic critters
submitting false
love and caring
admittedly
what beloved sought
we somehow
believed and thought
we'd be making
endless love
transfigurative engagement 
steadfast us
figuratively instead
aggressively
beloved left us
now we are
just fallen company
neurotic jitters
our bitter hearts 
altered and broken
faltering now
what can we do
prescience
trying to save
our wounded souls
even though
we keep
calling for presence
we're scorned
elected representatives
elitists think
we're all fools
for even trying
warlord critters
always force
march us
sighing desperation
forlorn into crying
battlefields into hopeless
bleeding unto dying
look around you
so many voiceless
needy homeless
truly destitute
no choice
needing dental work
scorned by institution
living on
detrimental city
tarnished streets
coincidentally sighing
existing curbside
mental gutters
sprouting trash
gardens of poverty
streams of screeching
muttering
mountain crime
delivering us
hellish fentanyl
smashing teeth
primitive this
inimitably debatable
this tragic
magic carpet ride
around this universe
always those
hungry and insatiable
black and white
cut and dried
angry predators
despicable critters
they should own
all their sinful shame
corrupt critters
furnishing troubles
bitter falsehoods
critter's bitter
litter games
still plainly
elitist critter ego
thieving openly
reprehensible importing
immoral criminal gain
supporting spears and swords
worldly malevolence
convicted felons
thieving nights
every blackmailer's
discordant violence
they don't assist
won't allow
good folk
proper good
enough spoken
shared power
nurturing good-hoods
what is good
but here I am
depressed and vagrant
yet sparks
gladness in my hand
liberally tracing
galaxies of illumination
tracking fine lines
remarkably embracing
living light
delightful characters
inviting migrant
fragrant notes
sharing heaven
virtuous morals
daring surely
vibrant poems
such oral
caring meditation
understand morally
society's fair demands
society's commanding belief
relief in honest
fair constitution
bearing in mind
benevolent restitution
embracing heart with soul
gracing those divine notes
of fragrant absolution
glory that transcendence knows

you told me to go
when I needed you
I thought love
would never let us go
I'm still bleeding
because of you
my wounds won't heal
I still wonder about love
I still wonder about you
what ended up
not being true
is that free love
no matter
how free we feel
so often
reflects fantasy
something lost
love that isn't
forever truly real
but those freeing
jeweled things
I just can't forget
all our sapphire kisses
how we magically met
those mystical memories
they are still
current files of pages
reflecting my blurred mind set
your magic touch
your mysterious eyes
those two warm hands I held
those blinding tears falling
from our misty eyes
what if 
I forget you
never dream
of you again
all our magical kisses
how we mystically met
I would be so very sorry
losing precious memory
things I loved and cared for
passionate romance
true love we shared together
buried treasure pieces
missing you forever 
along with all
my love regrets

why
don't you
join me
in this
current
worldly
auspicious
drowning
maybe then
we would
somehow
deliciously 
finally see
how
precocious stars
are ferociously
evidently formed
relevantly played
why
won't you
join me
with this
majestic reformation
a dinner project
cooking ourselves
recipes turning us
inside out
maybe then
inwardly
we could
restoratively
finally be that
delicious dessert
sumptuous
coral sea
vocal liquid
moral universal
washing over
local everything
like some
receptive tide
galactic inertia
exceptional icing
on that
inceptive cake
some daring
sticky frosting
soul bearing
rich treats
oddly deep
spiritually inquisitive
even sweetly caring
mutual modification
embryonic fluid
completely repairing
ritual instruction
impairment correction
with that
infectious revolution
what if
spiritual direction
reflective evolution
through some
chosen miracle
when we
decide to drown
we are found
stiff and motionless
perfectly petrified
mystically we are
divinely frozen
still we awake
spectacularly reinvented
miraculously thawed
flawlessly transcending
beyond every
golden crown
awesome poetry
that soulful
gemstone shower
spark of life
creation amended
seeing clearly
recreation recommended
soul journey
as is dear life
still freely given
exhibiting surely
being heedful
no broken
fear or strife
needful creation
reverberating
without question
ultimately sharing
spirited seedlings
beyond all bounds
spiritual deeds
being respectful
ultimately alive
glory's perfect ground
a sanctified feeling
irresistibly profound
cosmically revealing
divinity's pleading
holy sound
please be good
how we should
please be kind
perfectly nurturing
heart and soul
effectually maturing
awakened mind

when we
finally find
incredibly delicious
it is
often hard
not to
some how
wanton crave
take at least
to have
a taste
just a morsel
a quick sniff
something brazen
a whetting faze
whipping up
egg white stiff
you are
in spite
of appetite
I bet
if you
aren't familiar
with those
delightful recipes
then perhaps
an insightful lesson
rightly outward
in modesty
awkwardly inward
that other
realistic inner
worldly affair
domestic maybe
I don't know
maybe truly
I do really care
about nature's aroma
your natural
doe texture
about those
entrancing eyes
your passionate
red delicious
ruby lips
your best kisses
those glowing tresses
scented flowers
your flowing hips
you're beautiful
stunning dresses
you're entrancing
I want
to caress
your smiling face
your shimmering hair
I found you
your glimmering
daring dance
swimming naked
those shimmy hips
fairy tale passion
kissing romance
with those
sweet lips
I dreamed you
full of compassion
dancing into you
I dreamed about 
all you are
everything perfection
such respectful love
your shapely fashion
conceptually
I opened
both my eyes
suddenly you
were here
objectively
kissing me
blissfully
you took me
to that subject
a delicious place
just us
instantly there
face to face
hand in hand
breast to breast
heart to heart
your ready lips
quivered lightly
slightly apart
love is
right and ready
readily demanding
love is
a passionate command
your flashing eyes
looking deeply
watch me
love's torrid love affair
into you
as I fall
deep into your
entrancing eyes
what I see
is passionate love
what I've found
compassionate healing
inner feelings
delicious romancing
outwardly reflected there
when delicious 
becomes sweeter
than life
love's sweetest fruit
when unrivaled passion
steadily yearns
burning even hotter
than any
sensational
exploding
blazing sun
could it be
we've found
that one
should it be
our passionate
search
is finally
for a moment
deliciously done
wouldn't it be
astounding
if delicious passion
held us
with torrid kisses
embracing both
us bathed
in love
blessed rays
fates restive gifts
from our carnal sun
caressed
both of us
just this perfect love
under a delicious sky
embraced and smitten
you and I

this skin 
we're in
something sacred
to rave about
if we could
peel ourselves
shape shift
right down
to bare bones
crave new skin
what would
you choose
artificially grow
this skin show
keeps going
artistically
going and going
cosmetically
if I could 
perform
shed this skin
informed
I think 
I'd grow stripes
why not
regrettably
why want
plan to live
deep inside
a tiger skin
what a roar
all that
fresh flesh
swimming rivers
lapping hot blood
solitary tigers
raptured deep
in reverential jungle
have it better
than prideful
fractured hierarchies
those prides of hungry lions
it seems 
customary freedom
should be theirs
drinking in sweet shade
such majestic glory
on that old savanna home
such a glorious story
realistically
jungle tigers
loath corruption
losing skin
that adaptive disruption
fear destruction
in some 
contractual
tanned hide way
what is
beneath skin
nature's view
more sacred
than flesh
more cosmic
than bone
truly universal
inner beauty
those controversial stripes
we all have
but want to hide
that hierarchical type
or outwardly
some show me
is it need
those stripes
reminding us
of all that
mirrored self
finally possessing
such unique skin
we are all
an intuitive song
all this conscious poetry
imbuing revolution
tattooing stripes
onto our bare bones
ensuing evolution
so once again
we're uniquely jungle kin
roaring tiger songs at night
wearing our jungle tiger skin

my frayed
this overcast
exacting life
oh what a strange
obsequious day
when sychophantic
crows came
wanting to chasten
needing to murder me 
delivering daunting
unnatural pecks
unexpectedly
sensing those
devilish
supernatural caws
I'm overcome
a certain stench
henceforth doom
Pompei comes to mind
an historical exhibition
galleries of burning flesh
hysterical screams and cries
confounded by plumes
tombs of smoking ash
accompanied by certain death
engaged by super
pounding
heated steam
engulfed by toxic
expounding
albeit clouds
I thought I saw
something looming
concerning benchmark
gloomy stars
accosted by Mars
caught up
under some magic
caustic spell
those autistic stars
apostles of some
redacted charm
suddenly tackled
unceremoniously shackled
blinded and brutally choked
prisoners enslaved
incarcerated
within this
volcanic dystopia
predestiny comes
climate change
with glacial religious ice 
beware
scores of falling rock
explosive political lightning
terrifying bolts
manipulating each electrical
voltage and discharge
creating anti-social whorls 
concentrating anti-social worlds
anti-social words
tattooed onto terrorist bombs
careless amperage
critically appalling
wave after wave
deep seas of social strife
streams of caustic ash
shameless guilt
systematic repealing
revealing more
blameless guns
oligarchs dealing
in lawless bombs
statistically
sound
stocks and psalms
bound and bonded
in these hounded
billionaire times
prophetically
great blue whales
ocean miracles
out of that
world of spherical
great blue sea
miraculously arrive
ruefully blowing
all of this
as well as us
impermanence
washing life
permanently away
into some other
unknown place
some other mother
deliberate druthers
correctly connected
a liquid dimension
another universal
intentional space
what a panicked
feeling of discontent
seemingly we are
disconnected
manic social comment
conventional universe
interconnected
contented God
intentionally
loving marble
and angel food cake
though seldom
if ever
for seldom is
a prophetic state
allowing time or space
to fully cooperate
truly create
such clever
interspatial
predicament
respectfully
operate within this
controversial firmament
reflect on filaments
interject command
on this fomenting day
this tormented planet
demanding calming night
we are challenged
just another
discontented economy
remanding
sinful thought
jailing perfect
left and right
injuriously reflecting
perfect light
furiously branding
notwithstanding
scurrilous revolution
a personal investment
an instrument
of astrology
scientifically asking
what is
religious right
what about
righteous
cosmology
social driving
elements
what is politically
wrong
even though
torrential rain
stays and stays
even when
conniving
complete with oceans
hurricanes
oceanic
tragic daring
crossing another
drastic sea
three act play
along with terrifying
objective tornadoes
inject murder
crows
always say
one two three
pirate propaganda
every barbaric
tactless three way
buccaneers react
perhaps another
senseless
three million
lightning bolts
will strike
be it myth or fact
at least once
or twice
like maybe
three times
again trying
boldly balance
this unfolding
unbalanced
rueful
bleeding day
while shear numbers
sum up
mental strangeness
normally
spilled blood
clearly arriving
through other
arrangements
along with tanks
banking
on a murder of crows
ranks of mercenaries
and other
deranged involuntaries
delivering bloody military pecks
burning a billion granaries
useful for scary impact
accept abnormality
a ritualistic day
I sense all that
zionist crow violence
sorrowful mysticism
I hear all
they are ghastly
nasty fascists
so what silence
though overworked
borrows cynicism
lastly crow cries
sorrowful levels
mournfully trying
tribes and prides
hungry lions roar
shunning armour
stunning regiments
cursed by battle
bloodied shrouds
dark clouds
in my overcast life
all these irreversible
unreformed volcanoes
such costly
shake and bake summations
tormenting storms
cratered formations
boiling up
so much terror
fake information
stirring up
so many embers
into raging burning
around this
blurred world
profound panic
so much
earthly strife
sketchy war
stitched up propaganda
test blasting
tragically impacting
every worthy life
scarring earth
razing political landscapes
marring mountains
scraping scraps of meat
off shattered bone
even murderous crows
want to matter
fluttering in confusion
killed while muttering
then picked clean
reflecting some nightmarish
other worldly
crow dream
sometimes we toil
often we fail
sometimes
we sulk
spoiling
each moiling hour
we're choked
every foiled day
discharging a septic
viscous flow
while lava erupts
near smoking fumaroles
every uncertain widening
corrupting change
fuming poison
out of bottomless pits
dark traffic resumes
touted as great by masters
from deep within bunkers
their frilly hidden holes
even crows know
how to sulk
at times
they too mourn
flying wounded
being torn
by this
tormenting thing
called civilized life
so this
new normal
all this rivalry
is civil
further upsetting 
inevitable
world strife
still I close my eyes
I need to surely try
not to trip and fall
trying not to
just collapse
earnestly
I'm trying
not to fall down
lay down
take one
last breath
then simply die
yet every stirring
learning dream
I've ever dreamt
I've had
vanity and pain
so much
fear and yearning
that has brought me
to this boiling point
has stirred
my roiling pot
ignited another toxic joint
now all my embroiled
boastful dreams
are lost and gone
even those
astronomical things
somehow now
forever dead
ghostly read
every spark
of cosmic life
impossibly extinguished
that damn
revolutionary sun
in cahoots
with climate change
making ocean life
bleak and stark
evolutionary life
a climax dream
awaiting for some
steamy orgasm
new ice age
rue another wicked
taxing dream
convolution stuck
so very deep
inside this wicked
convoluted scene
pray for truth
fully empower
your epic storm
picture battered
embittered
your bullied heart
lay deathly
ghostly still
readjust your fickle soul
another critical
malformation
another historical
information moment
of transmutation
another predictable
institutionally unknown
constitutional transformation
my absolutely
pickled head
blessed by this
another howling
restless revelation
all while laying
in my freaking bed

I heard
something
what about
a happening
gather spirit
where tribe
comes together
grand happenings
outstanding
joyeux ceremony
where kinship
pow wow exultation
wow is measured
worldly friendship
kind sharing
life's treasure
under summer sun
what a curious thing
earthly kinship
something goodly
a furious romance
into summer night
left then right
rising soundly
into that
uplifting
resounding
unbounded flight
then left again
stay grounded
where some
of us
finally
unencumbered
abandon everything
no wanting
let others
less needing
feed them
spiritual mind
caressing lovers
remember marvelous
dance freedom
blessed eternal
brilliant sacred fire
even one spark
a glowing ember
some kernel
a steady beat
on that sacred drum
inner warmth
we should desire
whatever could
inner fire want
kindling et fuel
wrapped in desire
loving arms
what we
truly need
those are certain
soulful things
that make us
feel warmth
deliver love
enlightened nourishment
yet sadly still
less encouragement
those tragic things
that have us
fall and bleed
there's a happening
sometimes frantically
remanded within
fanatically confined
insistent hearts
dark commands
parked inside
twisted heads
a gristful place
where
we continue
drastically sharpen
words with swords
where things happen
honing something
flattening hearts
grinding bones
misshaping minds
sharper and sharper
hard steel
or so
we thought
beneath that
shiny surface
remind
trusting me
shiny graphite 
is just
soft lead
no lasting edge
duller and duller
surprise surprise
there are those
life long
life is personal
long unpardoned
treacherous things
we truly dread
hard feelings
lost love
raging hot
steadfast
warlords
hard heads
if God
could see us
right now
these happenings
world and planet
street events
right here
violent life
greed midst hate
jealousy
kissed by desire
conjured dark clouds
enthralled by fate
pressure and presence
balled together
falling into
another heartless
crazy mindless
zombie night
feasting upon
heart and soul
carelessly rude
soulless savage
that insatiable
disastrous demon
always hungry
more wanting
forever devouring
stolen sweet dessert
eternally thirsty
swilling and chugging
strong whiskey
wrongly mixed
with bitter wine
detrimental
addiction reeling
mentally needing
a million licks
exponentially
a billion kisses
all that
zombie sweetened
drastic atmosphere
streams of red
tainted blood
grave mists
a delicious twist
orgasmic
intoxicating sweat
please wait
something still
less dire
less hateful
more than
gruesome buckets
of strained brains
even more than
defamed angel white
sweet dream wishes
infamously something
as we define
our devil selves
salted curds
cottage cheese
strained whey
aged fromage
unconstrained please
with treats
dollops
of fresh
thick cream
milk with honey
truly sweet
a cinnamon stick
for that soulful treat
spiritual passion
spice to live with
universal compassion
nice to give
whether contrite
soulful tribe
come together
willing hands
truthful choices
a community
of spiritual voices
moving and singing
about goodness
loving purity
hypnotic dancing
invoking 
ecstatic hope
so hope
does exist
such fantastic
happenings
creating
abundant bliss
grand openings
where community
realizes this
spiritually shaping
intelligence with ingenuity
stirring compassion
attach passion
empathetic relations
building nation
in a sacred fashion
what a refreshing
spiritual restoration
but if God
could see us
stuck
at this present
remorseful station
butt naked now
mother earth
would stop
should catch us
latch onto us
ball us up
watch us
weep and cry
send us 
all to hell
or to heaven
salute us
as we
fall and die
so God
call us
justifiable
it's happening
something
truthful need
we should
be free
learn to fly
we should
freely want
good life
fruit so sweet
it possesses us
makes us
lovingly bleed
sharing this life
so surely perfect
each pure breath
impressed with love
caresses us
blessed with bliss
feed our fire
soul's mystic voice
desires
universal love
all of us
those things
we've heard
we'll all rejoice
us humans
here in
this paradise
shangri-la
so we must try
as we
sometimes laugh
as we
sometimes cry

I'd say
some goodbye
as I am
surely
one day
dying
someday
those sure things
I still
truly remember
those willful
beautiful places 
I've willingly
youthfully been
those silly
truthful things
I'm forever
really
trying
but dying
if resurrection
truly meant
universe
a converse
spark
in some
relative
universal sky
perhaps
broody sister
true life
along with
moody brother
rude death
would simply
crudely be
proved inverse
a conversion
record of reflection
of irreversible
inflective ties
loose strand
upon twisted strand
blissfully unrestrained
missed endings
seldom imply
restrained life
but that
main dream
true love
not ego
so nothing
mystically vain
is it not
death's tragic
final love scene
that dark night
those bleeding
difficult goodbyes
is it fate
that writes
brooding poems
prophetic readings
about relentless death
moody songs
with that
same violent bite
tearing up
raw dreams
fearlessly streaming
still we are
we're dreaming
it definitely seems
death removes
every disguise
differentiates
between truth
and indifferent lies
peeling back
so many earthly layers
silently plucking
instructive
strings attached
to every universe
maybe death's will
shall enlighten me
will
perhaps
shall lighten up
when I'm dead
will I see
kindfully mindful
cosmic right
blind vision
instead
timeless
goodbyes
reflecting
perfect light
still
freely envision
without these
too imperfect
human eyes

some how
we finally
dead blooms
that garden now
tossed out
that broken
our dismantled
disgruntled marriage
now everything
righteously thrown
into some
composting dump
so finally
ruthless together
we circled
in and out
of tight corners
gathered up
all that
unsightly
marriage trash
bagged it up
tightly
tossed it out
not a trainload
but a truckload
contrite garbage
uncomfortably accumulated
through twenty
gushing years
rough stuff
neither of us
every truly
really needed 
oddly even
truly wanted
so much
disheveled stutter
jammed nooks
cluttered crannies
even those
lost moments
forgotten times
emotional things 
both of us
steadfastly neglected
now time 
had come
relegated lastly
clearing up
all that
domestic trash
mash everything
into something
almost manageable
into one thing
finally ending
timely sending
old thoughts
unforgiven feelings
muttered phrases
guttural reeling
sharp bits attached
to damaged pieces
we would
how could we 
ever need
bags of neglected
brooding creed
attired with
rainbow colours
frayed strings
other greedy hues
conspired things
that made
us bleed
made us cry
so now
all these years
so much later
yet somehow
utter amazing
work together
we have
thrown out
our broken
alligator marriage
all those
reptile parts
being artless
sodden baggage
in what
was left
of our
tragic mess
lost love
smeared blood
coffee stains
wounds left
completely uncaring
spoiled
soiled bedsheets
even that
damn plastic
wash tub
full of tepid
intrepid scum
dirty bath water
our broken toys
half-submerged
all those
old moldy
liquid ploys
dirty rings
ringing that
imperfect tub
impertinence
wicked piled
high upon
a token carriage
nearby
we stand
hereby
sifting ashes
even after
all these years
after marriage
infamously ended
set fire
to itself
but who
famously cares
discouraging flames
consumed us
encouraging divorce
life's carnal voice
resumed us
some new choice
tossing all that
suburban trash
regurgitated chat
resolving that
long lasting
marriage force
time unresolved
those golden rings
forever brash
sealed lips
broken fingers
trash separation
a bruised goodbye
to conventional marriage
which you and I
intentionally
eventually
never truly solved
