Electricity

You could feel it couldn't you
son who has left the room
mother electricity
the 1,000 bolts
10,000 volts
(not even 27 years could cure)

I give myself over
I fall
and I gladly go
i swan dive
to rock bottom

I will face that stone
I will smack
I will crack
Nd still I will be reborn

caught on a wave
so Drakar delicious
it sticks to my skin
and I stay close to it's heavenly scent.

this perfect
nameless thing

I am a lost puppy aimlessly circling
in an undertow
a tamer of wild lions
the gladly caged walking the plank into a cushion of clouds
moon walking
dream talking
smiling for my day of execution

if only you could measure the room
see the lightning
see the electricity
of soon to be lovers
joined with the power
the power
of love?

why i could make love in the air yet
i could be completely clothed
swaddled
in bondage
and still I could make love.
who needs kisses
They are there in the air like raindrops
currents
fresh flowers
fruits that can be taken by the armload
they are in the molecules
the atoms
the tributary
the neural net
a direct link
to the future we

all else palls in comparison
becomes laughable
i recognize the breadcrumbs
from the bread

the utter peace makes me a want Snow White sleep
makes me want to surf the day in my elven' dreams
to keep my secret safe from time
to firefly fly or to catch in a jiffy jar
what is us

Our lovely mad chemicals combining
our arcs & magnificent architectures
explosions too delicious
to taste...(or keep?)
