Barbie Dreams

You think you could be me



With your bleach blonde hair



Your crimson lips



Your hooded stare



You think you could be me



I could be you



We could be thee



Maybe all three



Wearing your twiggy clothes



With an upturned nose



With a sexy glare



A high heeled dare



You think you could be me



Wear my ripped jeans



My wild curly hair



Feet that are bare 



All my tattoos



I don't want to be you



With your liposuction



Your silicone



Why buy boobs when I have my own



Is that why you wanna be me



Change me



To fit your Barbie world



Where all the men



Look and act like Ken



Just so you know



I wanna be me not you



You in your



Plastic princess



Barbie townhouse reality



So let me be



A world where no one bakes



New age flakes have it done by their spirit guides



Where you and your friends are from the same mold



Plastic girls never get old



Where you dream your plastic dreams



All sterile and clean



Keep your Barbie world and all your plastic dreams



I wanna keep my world where my music sounds like primal screams



Where it's dramatized,glamourized,even heavy metalized



Where the color of the rainbows drown me in their swirl



Go ahead girl



Keep your Barbie dreams



I like being me

What Are You Waiting For?

so what are you waiting for

here it is

in front of your face

reach out

take it

what are you waiting for

you know you want it

desire it

dream about it

what are you waiting for

lead to turn to gold

toilets to fall from alien starships

you know you want it

what are you waiting for

pigs to fly

elephants to dance

on the head of a pin

death to pull your number

you know you want it

its right there under you nose

close enough to touch

what are you waiting for

hell to freeze over

a sign from god

in neon letters

telling you there they are

that's the one

take their hand now

you know you love them

what are you waiting for  (c)mjr 2008

The Mad King

.whisper in my ear
don't let the king hear
he wears his crown
upside down
we all can see
the court stands around
he picks his nose with a royal flair
then he smears it in his hair
the court tries not to make a sound
they know he is not all there
that is why he acts a clown (C) MJR 2010

Starving Soul

feed this starving soul
give it sunshine
make it whole
absolve its need
free from greed
mankind's
rotting disease
plant the seed
grow selflessness
into a tree
love it's golden leaves

Sci Fi Erotica

accelerate me

at the speed of light

into your event horizen

blue shift us together

closing the distance

between us

let your gravity

pull me in

fuse me

to your soul

bathe me

in gamma rays

shot from your nebula

let me study

the astro physics of your body

while we implode

with luminosity

eclipse me

an exploding quasar

drawn in

by your magnetic field

speak to me

whispers carried on stellar winds

we spiral

towards the center

filtered

through a cosmic screen

stars

being born again

Stars

volcanic eruptions
planets collide becoming particals
atoms molecules
dust floating in an embryonic fluid
universes galaxies 
multidimensional wormholes
our awareness sliding through
milky ways constructed on a cellular level
nebulas new born planets
the light of several thousand suns being born at once
swimming through our bodies
we are the universe made up of stars  (C) mjr 2009

Agenda

everyone has an agenda
your words
not mine
yet I offered
my friendship
no strings attached
still
you thought 
there was a price
I gave you my trust
something you earned
my life 
was in your hands
you held it
kept it safe
you protected me
an unexpected turn
was there an agenda then?
if there was
it wasn't mine
I offered my friendship freely
everything else took time   m.j.r. 2008 (c)

Devour My Soul

devour my soul
rivers flow
backwards through time
once I was whole
fill me
this empty vessel
I have become
nurture
the child I have lost
bring me solace
let sunshine
love
hope
let them
devour my soul  (C) mjr 2010

Give Me Wings

will you give me magic?

show me your true intentions

will you fight for me?

save me be my hero gently teach me

will you dance with me?

under the stars moon shining in your hair

making me feel shy and beautiful under your loving stare

will you love me?

our hearts becoming one

loving me for who I am nurturing who I can be

will you give me wings?

help me to soar

aspire for something more

setting me free to ride the breeze

will you give me faith?

help me to believe in love again

opening like a flower in bloom

showing me my heart has more than one room......mjr 2009

Blood On the Moon

there is blood on the moon tonight
can you hear the raven's caw
wolves howl
fear chill the air with it's icy claws
there is blood on the moon tonight
war plays chess with heads of state
whispered deeds fill enemies ears
death stands at attention
ready to open the flood gate
there's blood on the moon tonight
evil intention dances gleefully
down the streets
children run in fright
blades are sharpened
armor strapped on
there's blood on the moon tonight
anticipation fills the air
warriors mumble prayers
demons lick their lips
someone will lose their life
tread with care
lock your doors
stoke the fire against the night air
there's blood on the moon tonight (c)mjr 2008
