When i wrote
The absence of sleep was a conducive environment for the cultivation of what i called hidden truths that were watered each time sleep desserted these eyes and when my brain sought comfort in the company of letters of the alphabet that i arranged and rearranged till dawn yielding beautiful symphonies at times or discovering mysteries that yearned the company of some more sleepless nights to uncover their meaning but now sleepless nights are a punishment i face in the absence of words where silence haunts and words are a source of excruciating pain because in the absence of synching words a sleepless night is a capital punishment i have to endure before dawn paves way to day light

Those that shove past you, glare and scatter,
That drive the scares, in your wits and slither,
That smile and stare, at things you did master,
And then them that you will, lose and move,
Or through thicks, care for and pursue.
The bearers of the whips of black scythes,
Folded in turbulent evils of shaded blythes,
That wait in desires of you, to swift in myths,
And then bear of nothingness, the power of slices,
Unnerved by the struggles to free, from the swings and minces.
There are those that, in swears vow and plead,
Please with, in steps synching walk on paths,
That they laid in thorns, that they enroute,
And awaits them, in rounds, on routes.
Maintain the binds to them, in pomposity,
That you may, in silence, find prosperity,
In pretence, that with them, you are,
Swinged and minces from bites,
Of their evil, the scythe.

I once met a drag queen in Key West
She had a rather admirable chest
Between each song she paused
While we gave her applause
At lip-synching she was doing her best.

Rose blossoms divine~ splendor exuding delight,
Ebullient is their stance, colorful is their profile,
Ecstatically they rise, flaunting exuberant smile;
Grandeur flower-bouquets charming your sight
Lauding scented whiffs fragrant blooms impart
As silken petals unfold, lip-synching your heart.
Upon arched trellis dazzles honey-gold royal rose
Forming vibrant arc of winsome welcome-pose,
Charming realm of crimson, scarlet, coral, themes~
Seductive blooms enchanting passionate dreams,
Standing tall on long-stems wallowing in sunrise
Romancing love-vibes beaming through your eyes.
Bountiful clusters tout reddish-purple fuchsia blush
Oscillating rosy-buds to lyrical melodies of thrush
Where, chasing nectar, bees and butterflies rush,
While daydreams-enamored, clasping silence hush,
Reveling indulgent stimulus in cooing hints of dove
Strumming in our hearts mellifluous music of love.

A consequence of a misspent
youth
Is a flashback to when my
mother beckoned me to her
Calling me by my full name
Christopher not Chris
One could assume one was in
a fair bit of trouble
But on this occasion it was
not the case
What she needed was fresh
eye's to crack the case
Of the curious case of the
mysterious kitchen slime trail
leaver
Because i as the outdoor city
type knew and was up on
recognizing and identifying
my animal doo-doo po
because i am full of it
So i got straight to work armed
with my magnifying glass
And instantly identified the
guilty party
You see it could have been
a number of different species
or thing's
But i knew straight away it was
indeed a snail
And how did i know this
you ask
Simple because you can
see almost everything looking
through that magnifying
glass
So much so i could see him
lip synching the jedi mind trick
I am not the snail you are
looking for
What you want is escargot
or frog's legs

Crystallized stardust sparkling eyes
dreams drift trancelike from the sky
millenia pass in a single blink
sleeplike slumber constant wink
Galaxy's spiral whirl of order
womb of the universe breathes it's ardor
from no-thing to something,infinity rings
Angel's of heaven in song they sing
In unison beauty synching sound
as grandfather time toll it's bells
natural mechanics gracefully found
instruments vibrate within' the shell
Soul of the whole in perfect harmony
matrix of life our eventual matrimony.....

Did you ever want to let go
and just be a memory?
Or just so jaded from the world that
you wish you couldn't see?
Anger and hatred ruled over me
easily
Until you came along and saved
me.
I was so conflicted about what was right
and wrong
Was so sick and tired of being swept away
in the darkest of storms.
Your hand it shined as the rain bounced off
the skin
and as our lips embraced a new life
for us was about to begin.
All the pain and misery
Take it all away from me
As i lay down to sleep
our eyes synch together as
do our hearts beat.
Before you everything
felt so blue, felt used
like everything i ever wanted
fell right through.
Then you appeared
out of no where
letting me know that it's you who cared
understanding, never demanding
Showing me in the hardest of times
there's really nothing to fear.
All the pain and misery
Take it all away from me
As i lay down to sleep
our eyes synch together as
do our hearts beat.
