and every time....

Another goodbye 
For another hi
Who do I sacrifice 
Between you and I

Sweet second chance
For a millionth time
What do I sacrifice 
Between love and time...

Tainted View


A million faces, not one is yours;

A million commuters, hordes and hordes;

A million gasps, it’s him - there’s you;

But no, my millionth tainted view....

My eyes are as dark and the midnight sky
And that's because I was up all night
Up all night crying over you again
You broke my heart 
Again for the millionth time
You are killing me every single minute of every single day...

Milligram or million
Kilogram or billion
For the millionth time
Please pay me one thin dime
I do not know math you see
School was no good for me
So all these terms are the same to me.
Milligram or million
Dealer's choice...

NEW  BABY


My daughter had a new baby  last month
In  the  world’s year he was the millionth


He cries for food and almost smiles
And everything he does  beguiles
Soon he will have shining teeth
Two above and two beneath


This small child  may wonders attain
The race of man is born  again...

This is the last of the 
million times you will
watch me die inside 
I won't let you rip my
walls down again, my
heart will never forget
you, it's my own fault 
I always let you back
inside, you watched 
me break with a smile 
on your face, here's me
dying for the last time
this is the millionth and 
final goodbye...

Futile pondering
My companion sublime
Incessant counting
A millionth time 

Of all the 'Why's,
'Should i not's
And 'Why cant I's
Stifling me in knots

The silver lining
I thought i'd find
Still has me searching
Far every cloud behind

Meandering through 
This maze of a life
Hope kindled and anew
With a tinge of bitter strife....

Well I hate to see you go
And say goodbye for the millionth time
You've made me such a happy person

Well I had to see you go
And turn my back on you for another year
Yes, I'm sad, but it's what we both need 

Well I want to see you so..
Hope to view your name when you call
And hope to lay in bed and forget us again
To just realize this repetitive mistake...

spreading yellow sand
assimilating the heat
of the moment
absolutely
cosmic consciousness
rudderless boats
in the distant dreams
across the seventh sea
transmuting sexual energy
epitome of spirituality?
enlightened bodhi
sacred scriptures
toilet paper for now
millionth manifestation
explicit hidden truths revealed
inner voice breaking
covenant of primal love

dedicated to bonnie jenkins...

Language Stillest

I gazed
I saw
The little rose petal
Red, violet, blue, pink, white
Colours hazed
Flying by the lip of the bridge

Put my palm 
to own it
Zoom! It shuns
just an inch away.
Follow it again
the millionth time
can’t hold it still.

The fragrance tells
The warmth! Belonging!
Warmth is
Language stillest
Unsopken but 
Wholly apprehended

Sweet rose be mine,
I pray.

For the millionth time I implored
the memory that I adored,
the only girl for me,
"I'll love you as long as I'm alive,
but, alas, how can I survive,
as you, from me, your love, deprive?
My love is all for thee."

For the first time, it gently spoke,
memory's ghost to a heart that broke,
"Listen close to me.
No one else can from you, deprive.
Your true love is within, alive.
It's time for it to grow and thrive."
And thus, it set me free....

Together we dose 
freezing cold toes

Scar to scar

Heat in our love 
our blanket knows 
and so does the bed 
but the pillow sleeps on the floor instead 
hair in my face 
Oh, perfect place 
like our first night 
up to last night
on to final night. 

You've asked me why 
for the millionth time 
this is why..

...

Together we dose freezing cold toes 
you with your stud
...in your nose 
nobody knows
nobody knows 
not one word for hours on
not one.
with you...

In the millionth season 
they've finally blossomed
ready to garnish a famished brain,
but mind monkeys will pillage a garden
snatching anything fruitful away...
screaming atop flint branches 
just beyond trembling reach
sitting so smug and casually
bouquet of scythes in mitts of flint
chattering away...
"if you want it so badly, 
come fetch the scent of your dream, indecision man"
all the while I'm idling in a barrel of gasoline
mind monkeys nibbling the heads off the dream....

Light larkish lackadaisical lassie lithe and lean
Measured Mesopotamia’s millionth mammoth, not all mean
Nonetheless, noticing the level of lithium in a coffee bean,
Opposing ornery ocelots who are seldom city seen

Providing palatable parables to Patty, platypus who loves to preen
Quarreling with irksome quail-herders who captivated lassie’s queen
Resisting relatives reaching for gardenia’s gruesome globs of green
Stalwart soldiers seriously slicing sluggishness from a computer screen....
