breathe...

is it crazy?
or is it just me?
can you hear the voice?
the one that says 'breathe...'?
like I have any other choice...
but to do as it asks.

so i must.

in and out.
until i dont anymore
and hopefully...
by that time
i will know.

perth time

i sit
right here
in this place
for a thousand years
and listen
to the wind
as it runs
through the bells
with a melody of beauty
that holds me
waiting
and to the cacophony
of feathered life
as it wakes up the day
with a cry of 'come on, come on
it's time, it's time NOW'
a smile on my face
a stretch
waiting to be found
in my body
my love
asleep
smiling
like we both know
a secret

(of which of course,
we do)

shame..... (a new tune)

i saw a thousand crows
fall from the sky
as the words fell from her lips
and formed into a lie
behind her teeth
the truth
it stood no chance
it fell to the masters hand
it got trampled by the masters dance

shame
you must feel so ashamed
now all shame
all shame
it falls
on you

a thousand tears
fell, from my eyes
as the truth was told
through someone else's lies
between the lines of truth
and the night
well, she stood to the left
where truth
was not in sight

shame
you must feel so ashamed
now all shame
all shame
it falls
on you

a thousand hearts
fell, from the sky
trapped by the weight
they were trapped by the fire
whispered calmly into natures palm
were the words that caused their death
were the words, that caused their harm..

shame
you must feel so ashamed
now all shame
all shame
it falls
on you

impressive

it looked impressive
until i got up close
and saw it was filled
with moths
and holes
i leaned all the way in
to take a big smell
and recoiled in horror
at the scent of hell
it caught me by surprise
as i woke from the dream
but what i heard was unmistakable
what i heard....
was my scream

..........

she drips.....
into my mouth
the love that seeps
from her eyes
through her lips
and
into
me
falling....
from the tips
of her finger tips
and onto me

wrapped.....
safely wrapped
in her arms
in her love
in her touch
in the truth
she brings
the love
she sings
into my soul
and i
into hers....

sleep....
comes sweetly
cocooned
held
against her chest
her heart
beating
in
my ear
her smell
on me
and mine

breathless
she keeps me
my mouth
filled
with kisses
sweet honey
on my tongue
rising
through my veins
is joy
or..
powerless
to her
advances
heart
throbbing
under
her touch
i catch
my breath
and dive
in
for more
i am
a sucker
for her

her

her kiss
sweeter
than the morning light
after a cold, dark and dreary storm

her arms
stronger
than the monsters grip
and any negative thought, my foolish brain can form

her eyes
falling
into the depths of her
my heart whole, complete and wanting more

her love
alive
pulsing through my veins
bringing life, sustenance and laughter
to my very soul

thankful
i be
for her
loving
me

i take a breath
release its hold
relinquish all
to its task
as life moves through
and experience moves past
another world
is revealed
a world of change
adventure abounds
as laughter fills the air
i hold my heart
and whisper...

thank you

to the world

random.....

she's a whore that's lost the score
knocked on every neighbors door...

smiling gently....as she goes
