If you keep your eyes closedI start, but I begin to faulter
catching myself on cliffs of wind chapped lips
gnawing uncertainty with white spears

(oh native tongue)
what's spinning you?

The bastard child that thinks I'm a yo-yo.

the same too big for you shoes, same glazed (aspartame laced) over smile,

your thoughts
are like
an avalanche
melting

inundating me
with backwash
and dead things
and oil spills
and a need

twenty minutes to dawn
(i know this because we've been here before)

this moment on soft notsosoft ground sheets

The ViolinistOz drew his bow across the violin's strings, testing the instrument's sound. The third string was a little off, so he turned a tuning peg and tried it again.

Perfect.

He opened his eyes and looked around him. The sun was beginning to set behind some of the few remaining skyscrapers-halves of skyscrapers, really-and the ruins of the city were tinted orange. The rubble here was old-he could always tell they were old by the few straggly plants that desperately thrust themselves up through gaps in the chunks of concrete that blanketed the ground. Old ruins had a smell, too, and a sound; a city newly destroyed was a painfully noisy place, buildi

I am the InfernoLook deeper!
You'll see that
life has a deeper meaning!!

So I look and I stare
and I gaze and I gander
Until I am looking so hard
and so deep
that I put myself six feet under

and now I can't see anything at all.

Broken for you

I am easier to digest that way.

Janet, I --17 MAR 00 2028p

To my dearest friend and wife, Janet;

Most of the time I believe that you don't think that I Love You, and maybe it doesn't seem that I do. BUT, I do and always always will love you, Janet. You are the only woman that I've ever been in love with and I can say that now because all the others in my life that I thought I loved haden't ever hadn't (ever) made me feel that feelings inside that you give me. I'm Sorry that I don't know how to show you better but with your patience and help I promise to keep improving. I want you to know that you are my (one and) only friend in this world.

Romance is the misinterpretation of that which is creepy and obsessive.

Frightening.

Do you remember the old pain,
the tears and the acid rain,
us making love on a fast train,
the pleasure of going insane,
the madness infusing my brain,

FourString OutLawI'm an outlaw
Living life by the sword
Living life by the revolver
Breathing once each day
To make my life last a bit longer
The law's on my tail
I've done what they discourage
I've done what they hate
I've thought my own thoughts
and bred my own creativity
My ideas have been sketched with fire
Into the stones of the world
Breathing my own breath
Across this foul planet
Sewing seeds to make beautiful trees
And roses of compassion and destiny
I'm an outlaw
Living life by the pen
Living life by the paper
I write my own melody
I write my own lyrics
I've created my own story
For myself to live by

The teacher came and spoke to him. She told him to wear a tie like all the other boys.
He said he didn't like them and she said it didn't matter.
After that they drew.
And he drew all yellow and it was the way he felt about morning. And it was beautiful.
The teacher came and smiled at him "What's' this?" she said "why don't you draw something like Ken's drawing, isn't that beautiful?"

It was all questions.

After that his mother bought him a tie and he always drew airplanes and rocket

all of your pain
so that i can bleed

to purify your sins

lovers+I am told there is a moment
where two bodies are joined as one,
and together you are closer to heaven,
than you ever were alone.

It has been said that there's an instant
when lovers eyes may meet,
and in that precious moment
they can see the soul's seat,

Well I've never been to heaven,
nor glimpsed another's soul.
Nor slept beside someone
who could make me feel whole.

and if all the poets are lovers
and all the dreamers never alone,
I must have commited a grevious sin,
one for which i can not attone.

I've heard that some go to hell and back,
for the mate to their soul so dear.
and hell its self has no bars

porcelain air broken with a laugh

His eyes aren't brilliant. They are somehow void, like the moon: a common satellite for something brighter. Lacking his own luminosity he crackles in movement, as an insect's shell cracks when you step on it into oblivion. There are cockroaches everywhere. When the light's go out they swarm.

i am curious about you
of course, i'd like
to know how many sugars
if any, i think i'd like
to know how well

done. but i'm not sure
of course, if i should be
curious (or otherwise)

if it is indecent
of me to speculate

ponder how much milk
wonder what textures
you favour
in your
mouth

maybe i should wait
for the situation
to present itself

rather than spend
these days thinking
about
it
