I will eat less
Warm my home at 55 degrees

I will tread gently
Walk faster
Work harder
I will face my tide of want with...

........jiggle clumsily; post halter-
behind braids- busy in evacuation of the cool pool water,
like a carefree bull in the field.

Fixating on a fool, 
one caught looking,
looking around in...

It is a sin
for Gregory to be a miser
even to himself
accumulating infinite fortune
with a half-bedroom to show for it

for miss Zane to gain special gratitude
from her male mates.
Coming late every night
with a...

tight rope 

Fear of the Unknown is
in my mind
The free-falling descent of my better judgement
I've gotten so high
The fear of falling is sickening
My eyes fail me 
blind folded by nights dusk
On the edge
Tight rope walking
I...

Tear by tear, year to year
Day by day
Memories they all fade away
Tear by tear
Voices in my ears 
Words may lay
Promises are all there’s left to say
I may wade through volcanic vaults

For untouched innocence

With only good things to come

To shield and protect me
Within these walls you've hidden me
Underneath a viel you've covered...

Once upon a piece of glass
Glimmer of light
True Identity crumbling
Poison eating her alive
Ravishing that which she was
Into the void she is now

Never eating, rags loose on diminished proportion
Breathing deep the toxin, lips meet glass
Deadly mist...

I feel the winds of change
Blowing through my hair
All the beauty of the sun
It shines upon my skin

Today it is a new day
A time for inner peace
Time to heal all the afflictions
That bear down hard...

He looked down and found me tarnished and worn.
   He reached down and gathered me in.
He polished and cleaned, brought forth a new me,
   and He even forgave my sin.

My opinions forced through the pet door, I talk from a porclean doll mouth
praised on the head this crestfallen child, even a haunting lullaby tires
with my lips pressed deep I say goodbye like first steps...

Life was good, just like food.
In the wood, I was in a good mood.
My body was fully cool like water in a pool

Living an evocative and peaceful expedition.

You incite me 
You're exciting
Are you providing a sheltered love?
No objection

I need your thoughtful care
I enjoy you more and more each day
Delicious affection a heavenly constellation
Confetti ready

Drowning in celebration
Raw winged spell bound 
Roaring anticipation

Giant Squid
In warm waters
Alarmed divers don't saunter
Never faulter
To escape

San Francisco Bay
Quietly they come
Inquistive by nature
Diving can be dangerous

Grab diver pull down to deep water
In fear of their lives
Always try to escape
Nerves are shattered
Totally afraid

TAKE MY ADVICE 

If you can't give it, It don't lend it.

If you can't brave...

Thy age hath come and that day hath gone
Letting dusk paint the world in a different view
Beautiful tones, envied by all but one.
For that one is held close...
