Like the war-torn samurai
who stops
for a flower;
to bathe,
peacefully in its perfection,
and is slain defending a way of life.
I seek a peace
I have not known,
except by the depth of this noise.
I need a voice
I could not hear,
without some mind to sing it.
This world is so beautiful,
delicate,
but it's the same.
Starry expanse,
so cold and hollow,
is not enough for simple things.
I seek a peace
I have not known,
except by the sound of this voice.
I need a voice
I could not hear,
without some quiet to hear it.
Things I wish to say,
to speak,
but only feel.
A language
only memory may orate
but you feel it anyway, somehow.
I seek a word
I have not known,
except by the touch of this mind.
I need a note
I could not hear,
without some heart to play it.
Comfort

In their arms
Do you feel love?
Do you know love?
you could fall into the bodies,
touch what they feel,
give what they lust for.
be a cowardly lie
on the easy path,
because you fear our love.
you fear our truth.
you fear what we may judge,
and we may,
but we still love you.
Makeup

Why?
all so meaningless now
these wounds in my skin
Hide them?
the pain remains
scars cry in my stead
Red or black?
illusion or elusion
seduction or protection
Why have this bag?
tubes of oily paste
hide the truth of ill skin
What is my sad end?
this flesh is rotting away
these organs become machines
Tell me, why am I here?
to live this loveless machine-life
to die a painful death
By Choice
2004-11-12
Here
Scattered like glass
I find a mem'ry of so long ago
Intrusively into the hollow of my mind
There
Afore my eyes
You simply stay there by choice
Knowing full well I will not ask you to leave
Where
Haven't I shown
You're not on my guest list
But I can't help always wanting you to stay

What a beautiful friend you are
To grow on me like a limb
To comfort my changing mind
What an abhorrent fiend you are
To sever from me as in war
To abandon my devout will
Truth
2004-10-24
All I want is something real
Something that we all can feel alive
Just take me where those hearts don't steal
A quiet voce speaks loudly in the night
The myst'ry of your hearts untold
By spoken words that don't unfold to me
It's strange, I could not see 'till now
That actions show just what it is you'll be
In My Hands
2004-9-28
These hollow hands hold nothing,
This fleshy mass is only clay.
That blue light I am, a shield,
That crimson figure lies beyond.
This blood seeks, neither can have,
These halfway tones are their own.
Quilt

Be your candle
Some will melt in sun so bright
Others will crumble in pale cellar's light
Selfless will burn, glow just one night
We were the waiting dust
We are the breathing dust
We'll forever be - dust
Each is each other
I am another
We are him and her
Worlds are changed by the one
Each takes part, then it's done
A peaceful war is won
Receive my fading flame
That Girl
2004-9-8
who stroked her golden mane
who loved the fruits of nature
bounding through the valley grass
hopping flights from hairy trees
Into the mist;
A land of green and blue.
trees are ancient, grasses are low
the salt waters sting in wounds
the animal becomes throbbing reality
what truth so few knew becomes lost
what was once love becomes my fear.
Cry Without
2004-8-29
this is the shore of doubt
whose harbors are defended
this is the sea through which we travel
where we find only lost souls
this is the sojourner of mercy
whose mind's path is set
this is the traveler for whom I live
when crossroads are lost in fog
this is the friend who's more than that
whose heart is kept secret
this is the soul that so few know
while so few are so worth it
