Sun spots...

 In that moment you faded away
All things turn to dust
Dust in the wind, just like the song
And I remember that song years ago
When I was sixteen before I met you
Before our tuned played
And now, that has gone away
Rock moves to sand and become the dust of us
Even the sun dies

In this moment I know in my bones
And I have to give it up
Live with the certainty
That uncertainty is going to be just fine
Because it isn't going anywhere
But everything else will change

So move with the breeze
Because dust becomes the stars
And then we try once more

Inside...

 
Swimming in the sunset of the desert
I forgot these cares
which plague my mind
with dreams of finding
The right time
To begin
To end
To create
To mate
To be the adult that's me
Swimming reminds me of free
The weightless gravity in the flee
With shimmer dimmer
and sun gleam sparkle
And we held friendship inside
Smiling- this is who I am
This is what I can be
I trust in everything
The world is a game
and we swim inside till we die

China flowers.
I said, they grew at Baba's house.
China Lily's as I know them
Little white bells dipped in sweet
Like suckle that tickles tucked inside me
and flipped into wild free
China Lily's, that's what my Mama called them.
I don't know why
I don't know when
They grew at Baba's house.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone else
knows them like I do
And if you stop to notice the spray of aroma
like candy dipped in sugar grains
My favorite part of our yard was
picking China Lily's
and the way you looked at me then

Community? What will it be?
Do you look into you?
How can I take branches and connect them
to the trunk of their root?
Let's dance in circles and share stories
The one's where I don't know
And you never knew
Our differences don't forget us
We just suddenly appear
Like one of many
A unit of us
Strong metal melts into
pedals on a chain of flowers

Drink this divine.
Give in like a lush
You make me blush
Cool and hot I feel it stump and thump
inside my gut
I drink you and you taste me
And I do what I was afraid with you
You proved it too
I can't handle passion pulls of lust
I give way like I've been hit by a bus
I can't move I just fall right in
This puddle of drink
I swim in you and begin

Poetry is me. You know I am thee.
And this way is a way for this mind to be free
Word play takes me away-
This is how I start everyday
Because words only point to truth
but when you can play with them
you craft a new heaven
I find me after my mind spills
This is the deal
There I am.
See it to believe it

Watching Thoughts...

Today is an inward breathe
Following patterns in footsteps
Day in and day out
Don't forget to breathe

One day at a time
Choosing faith in the backdrop
Letting dreams follow waves
Roaring up and down
We fall endlessly
There is no answer
Choose your own choice

Confusion in simplicity
Losing ground
Taking breath
Today, all I do is breathe

Fighting Wolves...

 I've lost patience with it all
Keep on fighting, it's your call
The wolves enter inside
And take me for a night ride
Waking up from insane
Yelling to plead for free
Without memory
We fell from high places
Spaces which left me long ago

And if you can't see
You don't know
The anger residue left in me
I feel hate for her.
Take it away so I can continue to be
The me that's no longer we

My Message...


School girl gone real
Ready to do this deal
Spill out of these towers
Keeping up with the hours
 
I'm see through clear
Floating in this rest
Finding the beats in my chest 

This mask of me smiles toward you
Breaking down the puzzles of us
I take the time to remember
Sometimes I forget

Orphans Kingdom...

Time will hold us
Even as we pass between
Like seasons barring new storms
Interweaving change

Let's drink to our time
Laughter filled the soul
Found a far away home
And friendship grew near

Inside me, inside you
We are happy here
Because we are both wild wind
Seems I just want to spend my time with you
Seems we have fun
Seems we are friends for the long run

Be BOLD...

The beauty of anger is you fill into yourself
Forced to believe for a moment
The random you choose to be
How fulfilling to decide a you-
To take a stand
Notice a belief
True or not
It's a chance to be in you

Bold is bright, it connotes a fight
Passion takes flight 
You can play any part and it can change-
And does
Everyday

There is a way to enjoy the play
Take a risk and pretend to be
The you that only you can do
Take a sip of this trip and begin
Because we leave our person in the end
Our goodbye is a swim away
Only bones are left behind
Buried deep in sea sand beneath

So remember mix and match your clash
Feel color and bite
 It's alright

Used...

 I feel used.
And abused.
You say I did it to you, but you took me too
This is where I stand
It doesn't match your game
Battling insane
The red roses came

And as for my past
I hate you for needing me
It's not fair, can't you see?
I won't support you when she fails
Lift the veil
Remember your walking trail

I'm done with these games
Lost love twice
It's all a rolling dice
Thought I could do
But this is through with all of you

Leave me be, please
And just so you know
Old movie love ended long ago
