what a waste Apr 2016
If I could lift from this page
what you truly mean to me
I'd go to war with every single tree
I wouldn't stop until my life was
consumed by an empire of sheets
The light of the stars would shine
and the sun would sing
Daisies dancing away the rain
while the birds and the bees played
If only I could find a way,
to explain what my heart is saying
somewhere on these pages
I'd get lost in the fields of lines until
the end of time - face to face with oblivion
Just you and me holding hands
in the middle of the streets
while the world fell apart
That's what you mean to me

Woe are the men
       who find no start
                Brittle be their
                        filament hearts
                        Angst in the air
                      sparks retreat
            like tainted pollen
to finicky bees

Prime initiative firing
on coke bottle cylinders.
A stitch past wearily;
his cognitive delirium
breeds an alien's barbarity.

No flare for a sailor to see,
the stillborn sea devours
his Saturn Missile pleas
like a herbivore foraging
fields of forever greens.

Castaway calluses stack
for an armor-clad effect.
Think homemade tank flesh
for a rainy day's doom flash.
Clickety clack... he's on track.

The Lotus's control is unknown.
Best take a backstroke anyway, folks.
An avalanche throne only holds
'til the caveman's stone is thrown
Black hole tenacity God couldn't close.

Star soot in the wind
Abandoned planet condemned
Soundless thunder dims
what a waste Apr 2016
Earthworm whiskers stiff with the tension
of a trillion switchboards hissing,
"Mister! Mister! Avoid the 5th dimension!"

More a prison than a picture diminished,
riddled by the Sandman's sentence;
it's a place to the brim with tremptress physics.

Tailor fitted to the yearn for specifics
of a half-pint's peaked interest
like the mantelpiece of an Anglerfish.

Baby, all I wanna do
shake your mountain dew.
Maybe if we're lucky it'll
glass snake that makeup too.
Who knows we could have
a tangible breakthrough like
frontier scientists tinkering
with love's tyrannical hue.

Never played well with others
Got tooth decay blisters for bubbles
Prime numbers fester in the hundreds
like swine flu in the midst of summer
