Fractured

broken bits of song    

tick off planets long gone

as greys and yellows burn from

inside out

melt
into forgotten scream

does it live deep within me

does it breathe alone               

will it break my heart

or just shatter my bones

Ghosts

I know nothing at all       only that in the end        everything is a lie      that suns do not live forever     and neither will I          

Getting away with it

just to see        just to fail       

            a tiger once caught                  by the tip of its tail     

                                     farewell farewell

                        my fairy tale

            farewell farewell…

Out there

the light 

a threat

and yet here I am

attempting to kill

what I have resurrected

instead

Into the sun

When I fell asleep I dreamt I was walking through the field of flowers I’d so spectacularly failed to paint.  I looked up at the sky, and there was the red dragon.  As he soared above me I wished I could grab hold of his wings and fly away forever.

Warning

This place I find you

the clouds mirrored in your eyes...

Temporary

We are the paint peel chipping
dangling over the prickly
bushes
waiting with an eye
toward falling
I wonder who I will be
when I am cut and
bleeding 
I wonder who I will be
when I have
given up

It is like the blanking of
a color screen
the bleaching of dark
green carpeting
hold my hand for just
a little while
We are moving
and fading
on and on
