There we can talk
Of today
For , No one is aware
Of tomorrow

Lying on my bed watching the fan move the skeletons around in my closet
I look over to the TV where my Raggedy Ann sits
A pretty little thing, but she's missing an arm
Can't help but think, like me a few parts are gone
Yet some how here we both still remain
Still existing, but never to be the same
The one that gave her to me never noticed what was wrong
She over looked Raggedy Ann's missing arm
I can only hope, most see me like my friend did Raggedy
Not for what I am, a crushed broken tragedy

We were born as actors took the stage
I was only a heartbeat and hands
You were more than skin
We saw the jackals in the night
Gun headed children with powder fingers
A man on the hill shouting "death to the despots"
Falling bombs that feed no flowers
The turtle crawls slow
His jaw hangs open
We were born beneath the man made cloud
I was a dreamer caught in nightmare
You couldn't fall asleep
We saw the edge of a black hole together
Blood hungry for Armageddon
A man in a suit saying "follow me to war"
Metal raptors and steel claws
The birds fly south forever
And winter never ends

For every disorder there is a border
Hence we have to be ready to counter
Step by step to play with the boulder
For every question there is an answer

Let be clear about our path,destination
Let be specific what we have to celebrate
Let dominate us our endure and passion
Let our character to be fine to ameliorate

Great people portray actions loud clear
Meanest of mean  resort to ***** tricks
So be loyal honest and sincere my dear
Strong building is raised bricks by bricks

Seems wrong
Every time
I learn how to love
find the strange things
unusually beautiful
in the smells
painting a picture
of soft soapy skin
that stinky cigarette
smoking in the air
smoldering in the dark
mysterious secrets
like wafting puffs
blowing me around
*like the curious circles
around your eyes
transporting me again
through the veins
in your hands
touching me
a beer gut laughing
merrily admiring me
after enjoying your dinner

memories they flood my mind

salt n pepper hair waving
and those lovely laugh lines
beautiful eyes of grey blue
deeply meaningful

I see every breath we took together

revealing problems
you're facing
my hands
are slowly retracing

endearing my heart
with the way
you look at me
and hear you say
how you love me
& just how much
realizing this is it
ship is in
contented & warmed
by the flames dancing
like a sultry voice
enticingly familiar  
in that safe fire...place
combustible
touched by the simplicities
accepting the way we are

as the momentum
is realized
at the precipice
when the log burning
collapses from heat
exhausted & wanting relief
when love finally
comes to fruition

then...
it is just gone
I am carried away

just like the wind

just like the wind

that took that fire out

I actually like you
So now I'm afraid
Its really hard for me
To give you that rope...
To let you close
I am terrified
I can handle being used
I expect it
I can handle being a muse
Or a fling
Or a passionate something

But I am Afraid of this
Of you making me smile
Of anything like this
I wasnt going to do this again
Ever
And I dont wanna let you hurt me
But I wanna let you in
And those things are not mutually exclusive.

Sweet as candy and soft as silk
My love surpasses and celebrates
Intoxicates as wine tastes as milk
Beauty is what she always dictates

Fire of love  mingles with beauty
Burns itself and just burns the all
When we come on terms to be free
Then beauty at rise and love at fall

We touch every limit and beyond
Oneness take entities  just far away
One on one love beauty correspond
In sheer darkness dominates light ray
