To Burn Again

I want you to imagine your biggest and boldest dream.

What does it involve? Is it happiness, love, truth?

Is it wealth? Is it driven by passion or compassion.

Or both? Are you looking towards a field alone

or is someone holding your hand?

I want to know where you see yourself in five years.

Are you here, still? Are you empty, still?

Will you forget bad language and bad habits

and replace them with shine and wax

or will you replace them with a person and a place?

Will you be loved or in love?

There is always something to dream.

No matter how close you are to living or dying,

You will absolutely and always desire and dream.

And I want to know what is.

What are you dreaming about today?

Will it change tomorrow?

I just want to know what you desire with everyday

as it begins and as it breaks

what is your first thought?

I miss being so close to someone

that I never had fears of any words I could speak

I miss being so close to someone

that there was listening from both ends

largely physical and emotional

but majority of it was a simple truth

and we shared it.

I just miss the relax and the exhilaration

of having another person around

that touches the same desires.

there is nothing like the burn

between two souls

so hot to touch

so comforting, in its warmth

and this is my desire.

To burn again.

You'll Follow Me

I can identify
with all the air you breath tonight
because half of it is mine
look at me and look at yourself
there is nothing here going well
I think I have to run to get any ground
and you put me on a mountain top
and in such a small corner
I feel so cramped and I cannot get off
I don't know where to go
I wish I had some place to be
but I'm running out of time
If I don't find a new attitude
this might be my future too
but if I run away
I get the feeling that it won;t just be me
I think you'll follow me
we've shared too much about ourselves
I can't perceive you any other way
and if it hurts to hear these words
well I have nothing else to say
cause every time I look at you
I see a real good friend
but I could never wander back again
and in my mind we never had
to any of that
but I guess I would not be me
now just looking back
and oh I say dear have I changed
and all you can say is yes
but you have no idea babe
you have no idea
there is nothing here going well
I think I have to run to get any ground
and you put me on a mountain top
and in such a small corner
I feel so cramped and I cannot get off
I don't know where to go
I wish I had some place to be
but I'm running out of time
If I don't find a new attitude
this might be my future too
but if I run away
I get the feeling that it won't just be me
I think you'll follow me
yeah oh my dear you'd follow me.

Absent Man

In my room, even at it's emptiest there is still clutter.
Something so tangible and yet this is just an idea.
For a mind is a place to sleep these days.
Some days babe, I dream while I speak.
But I catch every word you're throwing my way.

Lately, I've been feeling a rattling within me.
Stirring me in my deepest of slumbers.
I wake up. Shiver. Write this down.
Remember my demons.
Remember that you adore them.

I can close my eyes and picture your face.
Your eyes so full of intrigue.
So shiny and bold.
I can recall your hands, so warm.
Your lips so anticipatory.
I can imagine the words we will say,
the things we will do.

None of my troubles subside
but they fall to the sides of my face.
And I am left contemplating,
What shall I do with this mess

Soon I realize that the only solid ground I have is you.
You are so structured in the strangest of ways.
I put trust in you that I could never offer up to others.
I lose so many masks, so many doubts, and fears
when you are here, when you are near.

But the absent man is lost
in a mind so clouded like mine.
Clearly babe.
And I fall back to sleep.

My Fatality -Aug 27, 2007

At first Glance I am transparent
you can see right through me

But as you unwrap this letter
this last testament of my regret

I spill unto the floor
never to be removed

I'm the stain that won't leave
I'm the tear that you can't keep
inside of you and bottled up

its in this instance
its in this moment

I let myself go
Surrender to my own confusions
Surrender to my own lust

Without a look of loneliness
I never would have lost
No No

No I never would have lost this

Without a look of anticipation
I never would have found
No No

No I never would have found this

in splendor I taste such a sweet disgrace,
you've opened me indefinitely
and now I can't be closed
No Now I can not be closed.
