Not Your Life To Take
September 1, 2007
A lotus flower
sits by the Nile
where a crocodile shines it’s smile
Rips off your arm. . .
Now you know
If the flowers grow
to close to the edge
Don’t reach out
To pick it. . .
Let it live
Sleeping
September 1, 2007
I feel
restless
tonight
don’t think i’ll be able
to sleep
let the nightmares
take me
stay awake
write a tune or two
compose a lullaby
for you to sing
soft melodies
milkyways
galaxy gospels
far beyond
the simple stars
where up is not up
nor down is down
toss and turn
in the sweat
of my fears
arms go dead
from the weight
of myself
if that numbness
could spread
take over
my body
let me just be
without motion
let me be
no worries
no shame
what would it be like
to sleep
though one night
once
in three years
would be nice
Headache
September 1, 2007
Hot talk
New noise
My head is throbbing
You see saints
Don’t lie to yourself
Lie to someone else
At least something will come out of it
Insinuation
Accusation
Intimidation
Slow down
Don’t speak
My head is throbbing
Cross examine your specimen
Pick apart my main frame
Hear the buzzing
Hear the static
Hear the fuzz
Snow on the televison
Scilence
Quite
Mute
The phone rings
I won’t anwser
I’m not home
Don’t call me. . .
