About This Place
searching empty rooms ~
what do my tender hopes seek
or my soft heart wish to sight ...
~ ~ mattered - not oblique ~ ~
sadly - whole house seems aloof
even walls just feel the roof...

Dream Me BackI lay like that —
arm above my head,
one leg curled in,
drowned in the smell
of our bedsheet.
somehow,
I drifted off,
and there you were again.
I still do this thing
where dreams
change scenes
like home videos.
everything happens —
we came back
to where we wrote the letter
with the pen.
sorry.
I was mean again.
I said too much —
so you stayed gone
for so long.
but kiss me...

FORGIVEN AND EXCUSED-No, I forthwith forgiven you as I held the door open to my heart you ripped up
My arms and hands released you from the embracement
For thou I have so forgiven you for what I’ve done and we do
In the truth of the matters we are both sadden by the view
Of the empty room one entering...

John Lennon
Was John Lennon
crossing the line,
mucking about,
burning his bridges,
or bucking the palace,
a fine sign of the times
then, in 1969,
not often seen,
when returning his MBE
to The Queen?

YouI know
You'd return every winter,
To remind me
Of all the frozen nights.
But,
With the commence of spring And the warmth of wind, I'd be unmoved
Whether you stay or not....

Look AwayPlease look away.
Don't stare down the demons behind my eyes.
Please don't look at me.
Please don't see me.
I can't imagine what would happen if we understood.
If we looked behind the mask and saw all the pain we've caused;
What we did to eachother.
Every time you hit me it wasn't the bruises that were the problem....

Dark days are coming
Loping over the far horizon
Distant still, a little,
Yet they approach, all the same....

Forgotten NostalgiaI’ve tried to fall asleep
And forget what we were.
What we had doesn’t matter
If you’re not here to share the moments.
What if I never told you?
Would we still be together—
Or would our relationship
Still fall apart in the storm?
Thoughts of you flood my mind,
And for some reason, they still hurt.
Shouldn’t memories of you make me smile?
Why is...

They Say We Jews are Afraid
They say we Jews are afraid
that no one 'now' will come to our aid
Murder of Jews in America is multiplying
more and more hate crimes, innocents dying

I am skin shaped, in 42 different shades of foolery, a life lover doing my best to avoid an other, but they seem to be everywhere these days. Crawling out from under rocks, or latent in my twisted...

Painting the Skywhen i was a kid i used to draw a blue line near the top of the paper
that was supposed to be the sky
it started off being thicker in some places than in others
but as the time passed i started to add clouds
and draw inside the lines
the older i got,
the more realistic the sky became
then...

Can’t Let You GoYou left me,
Even when I wanted you to stay,
And expected me to move on,
Within a day.
I want to have you back,
Yet I want to let you go,
Your words hurt me,
More than you know.
They tell me to move on,
Because that’s just how life will go,
They have no idea,
That I can’t let you go....

The Last Day of Spring
Sping is where it all begins
Before the universe came on the scene
Then shortly the summer appears
And drive out all the fear
The mornings were fresh and clean
And clean air from far and near
Floats gentle on the stream
And the ingredients from the sun
Soaked my flesh with its heavenly breath
And the pipes of sorrow quickly fade away
And...

Fragrant Fumes, Pungent Memories
Ah, the fragrant fumes of paint drying on a picket fence
followed by the grease-stained smell of turpentine on the brush
Though doubtless matched by the aroma of oil spills gracing
