Sh up before dawn —
darkness permeates my bed
where I cannot sleep
inbreathe the static of night
change of time trammels my dreams

You left me hewing the rock of fame;
Constructing the titanic colossus of name.
And joined those devouring milk and butter,
Refusing to stand out from the clutter.
And now the sculpture of renown I've carved;
It's delicate and precarious frame I've shaped.
Now flash me your grin,
In it I see shades of sin;
The hands that maimed the trammels of love
So divinely fashioned from above.

Are there not better than I
With more wisdom than Love
To envision an ideal life
And entice your worries to impart
Be there not a more resplendent man
Walking upon this vast Earth
Who would sway your eyes with lecherousness
And your Heart with fairytale weaving
Can there not exist that mastered soul
Lingering within your wanton desires
That would save you from wretched me
That would assure this....an eternity
Or are you forevermore enslaved
To this existence that is reality
To a man that is but human
With trammels to withhold you from freedom
I am regretful my imperfections
For I am not of the Heavens
Nor far away worlds of conjure and make-believe
It is simply I...who would Love You totally

A dull soothing drizzle tickles her skin.
Her scheduled smile failed to arrive.
Dotting the green sea, rhythm and sighs.
Bead after bead she prays:
" Oh Mother, Oh Father.
What shall I do?
My heart fails, the tears fall,
but I do so love you"
Belting chimes, trammels unmoved.
Cursing whipping winds paint the horizon.
Lips caressing each word.
Wading through memories, mist and confusion.
Paletted dress, she sits and says, amen.
