The need
To be not like the others
You are a picture in amber scented reality
Cloaked in green I see the letters poring
Tons of them,
Those I never even saw
Those that do not even exist
I feel this humanness grabbing me
Time watches
Calling out every now and then
I am going
As I live this dream
And I thrive on it
The lie
Forgive my human instinct
Or rather this want, to be human
To give up a certain touch,
A feel
Closing in
I am, alone amidst this crowd,
Close your eyes
Savour the last bit of the cake
Not soap
Smell , taste , feel it,
It, makes you live.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Untitled
I rant, rave, look at myself,
Laugh
At these words
Emotions
I see in the distance
Standing amidst it
In the heat, sweltering, throbbing; heat
Emotion
You reach with a crescendo
Then
Slide down the silver spoon: life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside/inside
Like the moth on the ceiling
Looking down at me
No thought
The want to be it
shadows
Telling you this reality
Your dreams
opening your eyes
to the truth you don’t dare see
the hypocrisy
you ignore
it’s a laugh
this predicament
“forgive and forget” they say
But one doesn’t dare
To shatter the mirror
Of this dream
You can’t take away this wild love from the dreams you
paint.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha.
I laugh at this predicament
At the irony
The hope
It’s there one moment
Gone the next
They want it one moment
They don’t the next
Scared the very next.

what you believe
to be truth-
elusive and uncertain that it is
is a part of your dream.
your dream feeds you
what it wants you
to believe,
what you want to believe.
your dream is you:
and you keep yourself
from opening your eyes
to what you consider
the truth.
You can’t take away
this wild love
from the dreams you paint
because
this wild love/
the dreams/
the painting/
are all part
of your dream;
are all a part
of you.
