cafe nowhere



I like the way overused lips taste,
even if that taste is yours.
I like the way overused lips taste
and the feel of them upon soft skin
i crave the filling of my emptness
and the power of his.

In love with a Canadian

Into my life, like a summers breeze
Only to leave, like the winters chill
Bringing me down, to my knees
She came down, but then she leaves

Back to her home, the frosty north
Telling me I have to cut the cord
But what if I can't, even if I tried
When she leaves, a part of me will die

She is the first, I've ever truly loved
She came in my heart, like great flood
Making my heart feel pain and joy
Even knowing she had her own boy.

Now as she packs, gets ready to go
I will always wonder, as the time flows
Will she be back, or ever be mine
She is the only, who's ever been kind

Mystical Chi

Close your eyes and let it float away
the stress and anxiety you felt today
look inside and you will hopefully see
the force of life--the mystical chi.
Close your eyes and open your mind
with all your dreams and begin to unwind
untethered by the gravity of reality
use the force of life--the mystical chi.
Close your eyes and look with your senses
for the place in your mind where there are no fences
just run for awhile and there you'll be
with the force of life--the mystical chi.
Close your eyes.......

Evylyn (the Elf at the Well)

Infinity dwindles into mortality,
Orbs peering through cause
creating waves,
Globes peeling, paring days,
Vision spearing eternity,
Forever-fish, nearing
(sand no longer still)
Shores, then
Balancing on the brim,
Fanning sea, finning 
Air,
Cramped in the crystal
Of aqueous glass dichotomy,
Man metamorphosed to
Meaning, magic (cracked)
Trickling to
Tragic, all tomorrow
Ceased with the knowing
Feast emphasized by
Water and sorrow,
No daughter,
Dead mother, smother
This infant intellect,
Drown this other,
Telling...

Wishes and Dreams

Life is full
of wishes and dreams
promises broken
crooks and fiends

The wishs normally
do not come true
All and all
Making me blue

Dreams I like
For only a while
But I have to wake
Making me tired

So I hope
That for some face
Will come around
and help find my place

For I don't know
What I want in life
For I need help
And alot of might

As a face
Told me long ago
"You have to live on,"
"And let me go."

But what if I can't
Even if I tried.
If that face leaves
I will also die

So I stand
waiting alone
All my life
Endlessly I roam

If I am sad
If I am tired
Leave me alone
For love, has backfired
