Rainbow

took my hand today

i see another color

a breath of turquoise

in a nicely graying sky


put your hand up

and played without your mask on

there's been mistakes like this

but never in the rain


let my hopes raise

to the universal opera

and mr happy got up to dance

you cut the rug

while i whispered somewhere over the...


kissed me a few times

but i never let my green fly

who knew i'd get to spit my glee


saw an angel doing elvis over tables

always thought he'd be flexible

before he screamed i'd be turned and out the doorway

there's marilyn taking bogie by the hand


and so the tan has turned the cream into my coffee

and the red is only in my thighs

purple people eaters and yellow blankets

skies are blue.

birds fly over the...

and petty absolutes are said to change my mind.





Rape

Deceiving echos of wind

howling in the distance

And the pound of thunder

in pace with my heart.


Protecting me from harmful

creatures, such as thee,hidden

In expiring shadows.


Ironic are the games you played,

and vapid are the actions you wreaked

Upon me.


A veil is drawn upon my frozen features

And eyes that burn like glowing coals.


You must lament your lewd and salacious

infatuations.


Manipulation and lust navigated your way

through a labrynth of tears and complexity

Requests that became orders.......I have no power

Against Thee.





Recurring Dream

As I lay in bed,

asleep to the world,

the thoughts winthin me

fall to the ground,


And as I close my eyes

another blank page

is laid before me with yet the same

fate ready to be written,

again for the first time.


At the top of the staircase,

and I'm looking down

I feel two hands press firmly on

my back while the intensity

grows and my destiny is laid to

rest at the bottom.


Falling so far into the aimless darkness:

away from the top and nothing

below except for my fate.


I reach the end and the ground becomes

closer and nothing is there to

protect me except for

reality, a far off world, in which I dream

My recurring dream





Revealed

Watching you beyond my reach,

focusing in I wondered if I had set you free,

If I'd ever get the chance


Pentagrams and moonbeams slide

through the broken glass

Another twisted side revealed


Crooked old and winding as they

slowly reach the ground


Like a beat that's skipped too many phases,

Like a place secluded in your mind


A different time is chiming and the seconds slip away

I never knew that in my chaos I

was qutie eplicitly revealed




Rose

Where will it be hidden?

Amongst the willow boughs,

across the grassy knolls,

or in the trickling waters

that mock my every move,

a chuckle with every little glance...


A rose would stare me in the eye!

No quivering, shaking, for her.

She need not be scared,

for in the face of danger she sees beauty

unfaltering, unhesitant


No earthquake can shake us from our beds

she proclaims as lightly as the ray

of light which plays softly on her face

Let disaster come!

we will gladly welcome it with open arms!





Rum

Our faces peel away

nothing left to do or feel or say


My eyes are burning

and my heart is aching from what I hear

You feel the same way,

Do you?


Remember when we drank the hours

And the rum was gone,

Like the sun


What has life faded into?


You dry up and scatter to the winds,

Like the dust, what are we fading out of?


I've gone blind and you've gone deaf,

And well, both of us are dumb

Stupid idiots concerned about our rum


Dried up like that lake did by my house

What the hell, remember that old couch?


By the fire,

Where we slept,

When we would tire


And our faces peeled away

nothing left to do or feel or say


We drank the years and now our

Rum is gone,

What has life fade into,

or out of?
