The sun hasn't shown on my face for days
The rain pours down in a grayish haze
But there is a glow all around my head
A rainbow sparkles in my eyes instead
Mother Nature has tried her best
To drown the sun from east to west
But still it shines for us to see
And blesses our love so tenderly
The light will fill our heart's desire
Raising us up from an earthly mire
For in the heavens we will shine
As constellations have through time
I don't need the moon or stars or sun
I just need to know that we are one
For all that ever needs to shine
Is the light inside, yours and mine

cradle

a delusioned dream
of a delicate slumber
delightful and
deadly distractions
about
the seedlings seek
showers of
sunlit seductions
whose love shall
lay slaughtered?
whose love shall
surmount?
send your lies
clothed in summer
feed the afternoon's
rage
 when the eve
comes to power
the vortex awakens
my lover and devil
are one and the same

clothes horse

fine neadle
in then out again
sewing this shirt 
to my skin

stiching the hem
of my pants to my ancles
for me to wear
like shakles

my toe to my neck
my shoes to my toes
all the latest
designer clothes

they make the man 
so they say
my friends call me
by my brandname

Closing the Gap

My eyes tire of squinting
    of peeking
under the denim of his gapping generations

to see what
   if anything
is underneath,

and I'm sure mine won't
    fit us both,
as we jump up and come down,

trying to shimmy them
    over our united hips.
The threads stretch
    and finally snap,
and we fall to the floor.

We do not struggle to rise.
     We lie and listen
to John Lennon.

You just keep telling me its so easy,
but you just say that to please me.
Its just not so simple for me.
I just get lost so easily.

I warned you not to let me go alone.
I'll never find my way back home.
I won't get lost without a fight.
Don't like to be alone at night.
I walk these empty streets in my mind
feeling just like I was blind.

I'm in a hollow place and I fear it.
I am surviving on my wits.
How long until you realize?
Will you come before my demise?
