Save Me

Rabbit hungry
Bird fall from tree
Mother earth listen
I want to be
Whistling in your field
Money green
Harvest full
Help wipe me clean
Go get farmer
To medicine man
Give me a bag
Let me float
Let my butterfly free
Roasted seeds of life
Bush paper burns
Below shining stars
My soul yearns
Restore my faith
I want to see tonight
Tomorrow let me know
Glow of warm sunlight
Soak in the water calm
No matter the wind
Tonight wash away ache
Good old bottle of gin

I Didn't See This

I died a little today

I am at a shop

Around the corner

Having a cup of black

At least you could have said goodbye

Why do I have to ask you why

Where did I go that led you there

Saying you will never come back

That you really don't care

I chew the inside of my lip

I taste my blood

Like sickness in my mouth

I'm collapsing from the inside

Gnawing pain in my wrist

Body in a twist

I'm having those thoughts again

I think today will be the end

I can't settle on how to do it

A gun, pills

Jumping off the Roosevelt Bridge

To go means to never come back

I wouldn't care but

I want to see you again

And if I leap

You win

But I'm a better player

I know the rules

I wrote them

But the rookie rises, surpasses

And I slouch on a counter stool

Eating two sugar donuts

Looking for my pride

At the bottom of a coffee cup

And the courage to leave the shop

What happens now

I go home and wait

Contemplate

Maybe you will come

Get your things

I didn't see this

I Gotta Keep Losing You

Time has passed
Bruises not forgotten, healed
And yet seeing you again hurts my heart
I know it’s better we're apart
So I gotta keep losing you
But there you are and in my brain
Thoughts of love and pain
The feelings, the stain
Takes me right there again
You got me insane
So I gotta keep losing you
You can't guarantee
You won't disappoint
Like the first, fourth, sixth
Time who's counting
You are who you are
You who I hate and adore
I can't be your kitty bling no more
So I gotta keep losing you
You know I haven't been the same
Trying hard to forgot your name
But here you are again
Stroking me like your tongue ring
Stalking the kid within
Come out, come out and play
I already gave my love away
What more can I do or say
Please love me, no please go
I won't beg
You know too much already
And there's more to tell
I'm no good alone
But I'm no better with you
Let me lay my head down
Tell me what you want from me
Before you make me run and hide
You know I gotta keep losing you
I wish I didn't want to

Blue Freedom

I'm dressed in blue

Me too

I have no choice
It's a choice for you
You wear shorts
A clean, toothpaste smile
Mine
It's been broken for a while
Standing as a soldier
In an army of wars with myself
Scaling a cell wall hearing
Shotguns I once fired in my head
Making beats on the cage door
Lockdown it's been eight
Ten years more
All for a fuckin' score

Yeah I'm not in that box like you
No prison guard telling me what to do
But I'm trying to cope
Stay alive too
I'm not in total hell
But this frying pan of a world, well
I'm in hot oil and it's pricking me
So no, I don't want to be you
I've got my own blue
But be careful what you think is free
I'm not sure that's me

Between Us

A kiss
One simple kiss
My lips
On your lips
I lay next to you
Talk to your heart
Your eyes touch
Your hands say
Hug me, hold me tight
Make me feel all right
Your breath
On my bare skin
What we do
Is not a sin
Love will always win
When the world stops
I know I am with you
When the night falls
I know you love me too
And in the morning
When the first train calls
Think of me

Fast Train

Sitting on the 4
Fourteen eyes
Maybe more
Stare down the floor
I'm breathing
Breathing I don't know
The express is hitting hard
Rattling through the yard
Gotta get to the city
No time for delay
My thoughts on display
I'm breathing
Breathing I don't knows
No one looks, never
Left or right, eyes
Straight across shut real tight
Only me who moves
Glancing up to see
Curious me
Wanna feel the ride
Baby I'm breathing
Breathing like a spy
I see seven pairs in a row
How broken kicks flow
Sneakers, flips and boots
Crossed and linked apart
Toe kissing, heal clicking
Sign of the times
On their way, work and play
Or maybe just mayhem today
Gotta get paid anyway
Nobody's really gonna say
Rushing, open, closing, in and out
Two stops to go about
But I wanna know
Alone in the push
What won't our bodies show
Our minds conceal
I'm breathing
Breathing I don't know

Bring Me To Great

I need a Limitless pill
No, not for an ordinary thrill
I want to be sharper than me
Recall everything I read
Know all that I see

I wish to be a Jumper
Force my mind
Will me there
Cairo, Tokyo, Albuquerque
Teleport bravely through the air

But here I shade
Under a Silk Cotton tree
Surrounded by spirits
Eyeballing me

I am barefoot
My head wrapped in cotton
I am from another planet
Or just insane

I dream I was
A ripple in the sea
Pushing me far from doubt
Closer to the magnificent me

You know, I was born for greatness
My angel told me so
But I am tormented
Forbidding blessings to flow

So I travel
Like, like
My feet are on broken glass
Taking every breath
Like each my last

But I can’t wait
For a pipe
Or mature man‘s cane
To tell who I am
Because I live not in vain

Soon very soon
They should see
All that I hear
Crowned is a state of mind
Not just a blood line

I don't need a jeweled head
A wreath full of thorn
I began as somebody
The day I was born

I’m scared though
How do I tell it
I don’t have precious words
How do I share my gift
Still my unknown

No matter, it is time
Time to go
Receive my throne
Time to accept
This royal life, my own

Lady Love I

A sweet blackberry
In the oyster pearl
The moon's howl
Sends my heart awhirl

Coffee hills and valleys
A majestic see
Curves of grace
Calls to me

Warm crimson henna
On the hand petite
A vine of little flowers
Stretch the arm complete

Gentle feet
Adore with my tongue
Cleanse the sole
Concerto no. 21

Lick the ruby red stone
Pierced in your neck
Bow head to the diamond cross
Adorned in the cleft of your breast

Brush your hair
Spy at chance
Massage your light
A poetic dance

Drink your joy tears
Swallow one
Pops in my mouth
Cherry ecstasy gum

Lay soft kisses
Lovingly upon you
Taste each drop
The afternoon dew

Mint candy breath
Honey wine lips
Inhale
Vintage your year
Naturally squeezed
Delicious brown Asian pear

Pulp soft and true
I drown in your essence
Intoxicating grind
Blowing my mind

I submit
My chariot on fire
Yearn
The goodness inside

Bathe long in your night fragrance
Absorb your morning new
Caress your rose petals
Simply loving you
