By Half

The mold has broken,
our future uncast

The best of remembrance,
severed in half

Capture Me

Your whispers
evoke me like 
cotton candy, 
soft, innocent 
and sweet .. 
gentle, 
beastlike notions
 
capture me

Two opaque shadows.
Are baring their souls
Enter the fever heat.
As molten lava flows.
Desire is replete.

Perfect the Way You Are

Don't waste tears on your imperfection,
Don't waste time fixing something that cant be fixed.
Love who you are,
as you are

What ought to have lapsed 
A decade ago sluggishly pops;
Antagonist’s claws now thaw 
And give way to buoyant hopes.

Might I share
Than as one
Can we express
This feeling
When you know

I got no legs
Ain't I pitiful
Wheel me around all day.

Boil me an egg
Pancakes, a griddle full
Then watch me worm away.

The moon was high, the wind did cry
As shadows danced in flight,
She wandered far beneath the sky
On that cold autumn night.
