What the hell..... I have no place to go
The desire to turn back would be bad

For me, my...

I know its the perfect day for a wedding.
The big fat white wedding, the dream,
To which every little girl clings.
 
I tell myself as I watch the clouds...

What is the problem The Language Door Keeper...

Dear God,

I wish to complain,
for the pain I have had in your name,
as the Master of all
it is really your call
to ensure that our life’s not in vain.

We believe you say “don’t live in sin”
but...

I splash my ideas onto a canvas of creation.
Creativity seems to run off of the painting
as I try to rush perfection.
I feel the stress of procrastination

I have seen the "corners of the world,"
heard the songs of many languages.

She’d always speak particularly proudly about me … 
Of how I’d gone to grammar school, my bookish ‘steel-trap’ mind.
To hear her, you would think I was...

I sit here and think about all that was said

About my life in general and when we’ll be wed

"The White Noise Bukowski" 

Dreams
are playing fields
where scenarios 
can be altered

I've got a medicine cabinet
doubling as my bedside table
to where I'm able
to store my Bacardi white rum
in case I wake up

from a dream
I wasn't preferring

My heart's a shot...

Theres never a time our body shows rejection.

How your lips taste on mine
Its ecstasy...

'Our Mother'

Our Mother - a sophisticated lady
Always destined for the top
You'd never see her walk on by
A top designer shop

So impeccably presented;
Amazing handbag, clothes and shoe 
Even perfume richly scented 
Numbered bottle gives the clue
Never...

To sit with me, weary as a shadow,
When you stealthily slip in your dear memory in the night,
And let my tears collect, pearls on the damp face of time.

 there are birds that return in spring to play
build a nest, raise their young
 but as seasons change there are always some
who stay the winter, forage for seeds
 familiar ones that cling...

Oh so delightful
Not at all frightful
Oh just one taste
It wont go to waste
One kiss down low
Oh I want to know

Would we sin
Steal just one kiss
