 nobody's lover,
nobody's god
nobody's wake up
in the morning, kiss sought

nobody's angel
nobody's light
nobody's desirous, of me
hold them tight

nobody's last thought
before drifting into dreams
nobody's "most wanted"
pin up guy, poster boy
to take to heights of heaven
unforeseen...

all the things I've died, felt for others
over ten lifetimes of "fallen knees",
lovers

to be ones' self here
and be it, true
dangerous, "destroy me then",
apparently the lesson,
time and karma have proved

who knows why,
who knows when
in private, deep down
we all pay prices, well practiced
our sins

and not some kind,
based religion, or "righteous"
just all the little things
accumulated, amassed
over lost days and lifetimes

tiny, shitty selfish gains
and subtle "shouldn't do to them"
shames
but "fuck it", right?
no evidence it matters
those twice used and "couldn't resist",
left here shattered

their fault, my fault,
your fault, ours
to each his own compass
navigation system,
how to get, reach for stars

and those "didn't make it"
well that's then, on them
we, "the people", problematic
pawns to each other's
self gaining whims

but screw me
for "speak to me"
of that light, mysterious, within
that ray, so gentle, clean, razor thin
that somehow ignites, beat of heart
love begin...

it exists here, in "yes"
and with a little more vulnerability
than we'd like to confess
just as some of experience
some exchange, souls, like sex
when felt, fires flourish
a real communion with another
whether or not, clothes undressed

problem is, it's acutely quite rare
too many liars and loveless, aware
too many takers, for the "uplift"
themselves
to many "sold offs", like cheap stocks
brokered, hell

"this for that",
your tits, my tat
my "welcome", your mat
"let's be honest", what's that?

so what's all this hiding,
all this masking here, about?
i can't tell you, I'm not yours
you my "with" wish, without

basis of fact.

louder than words,
your now caught, as in "act"

actions severely
more filled with a lack
of anything remotely, real caring
deck stacked...

against me
my blindness
engulfed in the memory
the "so touched" by your kindness
kindness that vanished
faded away, slow, the drip

yet all i could see
you, "the believed"
with the most beautiful lips...

ones i dreamed, be "the end all",
your kiss
but instead all i felt,
was your deceptive doublespeak fist

courage, it takes
to be nobody's, and know it
even more so, to live with it
walk alone here, and own it

nobody can help me
out of my, "yours" abyss
so with that, may i leave you,
like you fooled me, with this...

i may be "nobody's"
and most, no "belong" now,
found, you...

but at least i am capable
of knowing, what is lasting
called truth

something, you,
so "everybody's" wanted
has never had the strength
to, of yourself, be confronted

so please, play your game,
as you've mastered it well
but careful, the day
it catches up with you,

time will tell.

and all the "played"
that you cast out, fell, your spell
somewhere inside,
may it eat you alive
all your lies, where they dwell...

i know what i speak
because mine caught up with me
as well
the day that i met you
and didn't realize, the process
of my undoing, fate
the slow, aching "for you"

i fell.

and with that, you, the mirror,
of all the lies of a lifetime

I've been telling

myself.

we, the only two, in those rooms
all those months, together

but truly, it was just me, it seems

my heart, my affection

and nobody

else.

A prisoner of me

some strange ability
to put you
before me
apparently this isn't any kind
of life you are supposed to lead

we become
the beasts we feed
break the soil, plant the seed
believing you, so important to me
i lived what i felt, overcome
and now i see the damage is me

not you, your fault
we are all bound and tied
to our destinies', called

or, can we change
our innate dna?
that thing deep inside us
that somehow lights the path
we have paved

motion and energy
function and synergy
so many strangely boring
devoid of anything like
the mesmerizing, mystery

that demands inner insight
most prefer just to fuck and fight
and it's only each projecting
what's behind our hello's
and "have a good night's"...

i've no idea
the prosper propulsion
but I've seen the look, eyes,
utter disgust and revulsion

so much so that i
can barely live with myself
"aah, it's no wonder, I'm not one
of great wealth"...

it takes a lot, of talent,
"win the game"
and too many "fall aparts"
have left be, in afterwards
never quite again, the same

so what I'm good at
unseen, unacknowledged
mostly, just a survival technique
unaware if i have any real power,
mystique...

that would be up to you
to so feel
me, I'm the one born to so
worship and kneel

at the alter of things,
"seem so easy"
for most, but guess not me
a train wreck is
as an afterthought sees...

but my god (guess i have one?)
the love i lived as my grand gift,
undone
just an emotionally intense,
by product, bent
in every way, shape, form
for you

because my heart,
fallen, for you

the one.

who was, yet, then wasn't
or were you?
just as lost here, far from it...

the place, the space
can we please be ourselves?

some of us, starting gate
"just not that simple",
so it's just a little setback,
called hell

but who am i
not to wish you well
so stuffed here inside
with all the secrets, laid upon me
can't tell..

or, yes i could
but do be barely loved
i then question my "should"

and so i walk, a prisoner of me
you, this life
sweet illusion
the lies, they are so much easier

to believe

....to see such beauty,
to feel such love...

does it matter, make a difference?
i have no idea, but at least
i know myself enough....

to feel and breathe, gush, bleed
like heaven
amounts of things
most don't seem much concerned with

at least not in realms beyond
the frustrating "norms"
of "my little world only"
how we fall in line and conform

to perfect little minions
by millions
pat backs, like champs
of the hearts, we so steal them

little trophies, collected, in mind
we are capable of magic
but we destroy it so casually
so carelessly, to find

we, ourselves, alone, deep inside
comforted by all the lies of love
we abide
the ones that say
it doesn't really matter, what we did
just "live in the moment"
deluding true self, as we move on
ever faster, who to kid

and con with our games
the ones about deflection,
avoidance and blame
"it's you, not me and me not you"
unable to conquer the cruelty, untamed

the kind that permeates
every sector, every floor
every hallway of our "human"
rarely accessed, we,
such self aggrandizing, self promoting
peddling whores

of "hollywood talk",
the infinite stalk
like little creepers, crawling
pretending to walk

taller, prouder
than really, we are
its the maul of the heart
and the murder of stars

for profit, for power
for the draining, depletion
of meaningful hours

time spent communing
with voice attached to soul
what good are we now
if not entrenched in our roles

distant, detached.

what came first,
the key or the latch?
the plan or the hatch?
the dick or the snatch?

the caught or the catch?

you tell me
man of lies and woman of disguise

behind easy lyrics, as epitaphs
we hide

share to the world,
the one, most, truly not listening
as we diminish, in daily
each other, our importance,
our glistening

value and treasure
replacing connections
like coats, jackets,
all weather

"take one off, put one on"..
land of little lasting,
if at all, very long...

what's another body
before us, so trampled
what's another heart
for the easy play, sampled..

eaten and swallowed,
with barely a mind present
just maybe my hell, or yours
for some, heaven...

the slaughter, the succulent
murder of stars
still, your face unforgettable
work of art, left in shards...

my mind, my memories
of you, held and cradled
as some kind of magic
that befell me once, labeled

as heaven on earth
by "someone like me"
now
the murder of stars
by you

i can't believe.

you did,
but you did.
and "the why"
is that which now haunts me,
perceived..

as in part, your pathology
man of "universe", astrology
man of so many, bleeding,
beautiful things

left in me to sort through
walk amongst the aftermath
the loss of you, the drowning sadness that brings

like the murder of stars
you committed for a reason

and i hope one day
you realize the hurt
and the haunt

yes, it stings.

in a way never expected
because it came from you

those eyes, how they shined
of something truly remarkable

moving, not murderous,

beyond belief.

The Walker (Towards the other side, silently)

10/19/2020

 I've been walking alone,
on my own
with the presence of angels
cassette player speakers,
then headphones
since the beginning
walking forever in search
some safe place, a home

the songs, voices
as company
as the only ever-present
friends, faraway
I've ever and only always had,
could depend

human love
confusing.
unreliable.
undeniably hurtful.
wounding.
self-deluding
differences.

always wanting to make a difference
as a result of me
how i hate what i see

in/of the mirror
and surroundings, planet earth
packed with so many, too many
subtly, scathingly
selfishly awful, "but that's just normal"
society of people.

not the animals' fault
not nature's fault.
now...
i think, i feel
I'd really just like to walk
away and forward
to nowhere, not back

I'd like to walk to the end of the earth
never stop walking
lose all sense of my body, of time
of worry, who is the next to attack..

me, you, each other
our minds, our limbs, our belongings
our beings
the onslaught everywhere
everyone wants something
or even worse, nothing at all
you figure this out, when no one
but destiny calls

in the form of a blind man.
irony, he sees, intuits
more than most
yet he's blind to himself
sorrowfully lost
he, a reflection of me
rejects all the beautiful
within him, i see

his choice, his fight
his "one day here, then gone"
lived plight

"you cannot be, what you cannot see"
no wonder, i am no one
child of split straying spectrums
schizo illuminate displays of light

so i would like to walk, keep walking
no more giving, love expressing
talking, trying, chasing, wishing

just walk past, in, amongst
the trees
until i am drained, depleted
and drop
thoroughly emptied
of every last fear, hope, regret
remembrance
all the displacements, damaged
drownings within
that make the chaos, seek calm
all the torment in palm
of the hand, held, that's me

and i envision
lying lifeless
starved and storied
some little pocket of dirt, earth
somewhere
i am staring up
at the true gorgeous glory
a group of towering, tall
majestically magical, silent stand
trees

and here
there is nothing left to want
nothing left to try
to search for, long for
bleed for, pray for

i fall, i wait
for my last breath
last heartbeat,
a whimper, a jolt
a tear

i am no one, nothing
but humbled
as i leave here
(was i ever really here?)
and dissolve, disintegrate
back into the earth

i would like to be
one of those incredible trees
and watch over you
be finally, the perfect kiss
something magical
that "something" you
could touch, embrace
and need

no ego
no pain
no guilt, complex
no past remembrance, love slain

no failure
no fall
apart anymore

i have walked til i dropped
and do not care what you
or anyone thinks anymore

i arrived at the place
i was meant, all along

naked and nourished
by the natural
I'm at end

and i await, in the envelopment
of the earth, the universe
on the other side, silently

for my real life, to begin.......

"mested and musted", too soon, all too much then...

branded at birth
whistled at one
tried at two
throttled at three
fondled at four
fucked at five
soaked at six
starred at seven
ate at eight
nibbled at nine
turned out at ten

felt like life was already over by then...
i guess not being into it, but looked at like gold
this is how the toys feel, when sold

doubled digit meant I was too old
so, sent to the corner,
pimped and primed,
"do as your told"

bought and sold,
so many times
is this what they meant,
for whom the bell chimes?

ass sagging by sixteen, done
see, getting old, washed up,
it's no fun

another choice
another day
another trick, is this one bi,
straight or gay?
doesn't matter,
as long as they pay
and keep their psychotic tendencies
at bay

tired of beatings,
without paying more
no college degree for a prop-positioned
whore

future, please
tell me, what's in store?
does "DP" mean, they will love me more?

I'm not sure, but of this, I implore

this might sound glamorous,
but it's work, and a bore

another cock, another tit in my face
it can't be a "fall"
if there was never any grace

can of mace
and an extra pair of heels
walking the streets,
the cops are the weirdest,
cop the most perverted of "feels"

so says the one who prays and kneels
before gods, so disgusted
by the children "mested and musted"

gotta go, i've been busted
in the van, to "the can"
but at least I'll get rest
before the "get back out",
again, work, my best..

impressed?
I hope so...
from one who don't know
the meaning of "no"

born to suck and fuck and blow
go with every fondle and flow

whoa.
is me
and away is you.

as in gone now, ok
I get it, I'm through...

"a love for you will be decided by the gods donnie"

- scotty - dream sweet babe man of gentle and soulful - 1997


he spent his life enslaved to a vision
embedded in his head, implanted in his heart by the gods of love and poetic, long before he even knew what being simultaneously saved and scarred by his poetic soul even meant.

He dreamed of love. Deep love. Divine love. Real love. Human love. Love with and from a man whose inner war of dueling forces, light/dark, like a knife cutting a split down the center of his psyche mirrored his, someone who understood him, saw him, from the realm of the opposite. Opposite meaning, he, the man, the guy, to his bitch.

The puppy kind, not the feminine two steps away from "cunt" kind.

Thats all he was, that's just how his heart was wired. Give your all, give your everything, when the forces of fate found him in the presence of a man who kinetically, somehow magically moved him, held the key to open that labyrinth like doorway into the deepest center of his being.

This, a cruel, not much thought given to anyone or anything, land.

That's how the gentle, sensitively vulnerable hearts can be turned out to become someone like him. A bitch.
This, a world that takes the good, twists it up, turns it around and makes it bad.

Vulnerability = weakness, not what it really is, strength.

Loyalty, Devotion = insanity, not nobility, in this disposable, "out for self" wasteland.

Heart/Passion/Love = Psycho Freakishness, not heroic hues of a great/good human, let alone a man

the skinless ability to admit, show, speak of flaws, fractures, fires within =
forgotten, rejected, cast away, cast out.

not the sign of someone honest, deep, able and capable of truly accepting, loving another as they are in all their fullness and foibles, wounds and maladies that mark, scar all of the truly awake and alive here.

God forbid any of us are truly loved beyond the masks, the parts we project, like thick skin, to protect ourselves in a dangerous world of the ever raping beauty of real living by all the fake, the polite, the fraudulent, forced in our quest of self, to survive here.

This, how a well meaning, hearts in his eyes, ever romantically impassioned empathic giver, not full of huff, puff and hubris, arrogance, confidence, became what he was, somehow learned to surrender to it,

a bitch.

a doormat.

that made him sad.

loving, devoted puppy, yes.
doormat, the unfortunate side effect
by a world, men who pulled him in but couldn't understand him, as if compelled to see his best as his worst.

It wore him down over time.

"At least being used, taken advantage of is having something done with, something wanted from me," he thought.

One thing he was not, a victim.
He despised that word, and took full ownership of who he was, the fact it seemed, no matter how much he gave or how hard he tried, his beautiful was reduced to bitch in the eyes of his drawn to men in time. As if they couldn't resist, to the point he learned, maybe, he too, really wanted this, needed this.

This bent we can become, from the repetition of bruises over time.

But yes, of course, deep down he still wished, wanted to be loved, to belong to one man in the most soulful, deeply bonded, maybe a bit crazy, but lovingly way possible.

Problem was, he was now 48.
When he turned 40, his best friend, a straight man, called and said,

"Happy 40th, 80 in gay years"...

He loved it, that his beloved friend new him, the evil truth of the gay culture, world, so well, so brutally, from being around him for so long.

So if 40 was 80....what was 48, basically 50?....

He guessed there was no number, it didn't matter anymore.

He was simply now,

the portrait of an aged out bitch.

Yet he refused to give up, completely give in, let the many, but few, before "him's" win.

"Fight the good fight, misunderstood forever, aged out bitch or passionately giving, when so touchingly inspired, love fool or not"

He thought...and prayed and lived to carry on, carry forward another day.

He knew how ugly, how heartless this world was, could be, hiding behind all the status, the materialism, the ego centric labels, definitions, the lies, the excuses, covering up so many casual, numb abuses.

He would find his true love, bent, warped, a bit lovingly twisted or not.

"If not here, then in the next life", he comforted himself. He knew, could feel it, he was out there. Some are just more lucky than others, and often, sadly, take it for granted. He knew and had lived with this truth all too well.

And who knows, maybe he had already met, found his true love, stumbled upon him somewhere, but both too blind, too bruised, too belligerently stuck in old patterns, old grooves, old fears, old wounds, to recognize "the one" in each other.
Land of too many bodies, easy sex, shallow faces, strangers as "someone's", now so quickly, anxiously attached to the phrase "my person"..

He hated that stupid phrase and it's variant uses.

"i found my person, you are my person".

Another trend, another soon to become forgotten, shallow end, gone the way of the verbal pet rock.

"Where do these stupid trends start, and who starts them, to spread like sheep fed wildfire", he wondered.

"They sure as fuck don't start with you", he scolded himself.

When the oddball becomes the outsider, becomes the rebel, becomes misunderstood, becomes the maimed, becomes the maddened, becomes the lonely man, becomes himself.


becomes the seeker,
becomes the sought...

That's the part he forgot.

To be a seeker is to let yourself, in turn, be sought.

aged out bitch boy or not.

To live to give, as in to experience the unadulterated joy, love and art of giving beyond ones "self" just for the transcendent state of that incredibly beautiful, "heaven like" feeling of wanting, hoping to raise another up, show them they are truly seen, heard, felt and loved here. Listened to. Valued.
Cherished. Adored.

To know in a heartbeat you can make someone's day, bring a burst of sweet sun amongst all the heart numbingly mundane, that's what he, with all his flaws and damage deluxe, lived for, knew what truly mattered, because it seemed to matter so little to most.

Except for maybe at Christmas.
Even that had become overly saturated with materialism and forced feeling, "going through the motions" garbage.

"Think about it donnie, how many people go every day of their lives without anyone saying anything kind, doing anything kind for them" his goddess christy said, hauntingly, long ago.

Such beautiful truth, words to want to live as a better, more caring human by.
Truth of beautiful to match her paradoxical brutal....

"People don't care, they just dump their shit on you and leave."

The beautiful and the brutal sides of the goddess spoken truth.

Words to soak in and live by.
To both be and not be.

Kind of like the love he searched for, rare, with another "he".

Love with an edge.
Loving but not too easy,
real affection with some good hearted abuse. Like a hug and then a "fuck off" for awhile or a deep loving kiss and then a good hard fuck, a grab by the neck and a slap, make it red, on the ass.

Love is complicated. Anything real here with soul and depth of mind is.

It's work and effort and allegiance and unwavering. Through all the storms and hurts, misunderstandings, magic, coming together and and giving space, respect, without coming apart.

True love anything is like the deep fuck his hole, attached to his soul sought.

"Making love is like naked tenderness, a hand grabbing your cheek, pulling you in, close, closer, closest as possible, lips joining, tasting, biting delicately, then exploding into the taste, the drench, divine of the tongue. Then a penetration so deep it pierces your walls, it fills you with the mind, the essence, the being of them. Making love is a tender, sweet, almost animalistic, lust for the soul, the divine and the dirty of each other, slow to build then on fire, thrust fuck."

Sensual, intentional, purposeful,
lasting.

Something you can't get with a stranger or a glorified one, all those relationships more of shallow air than a deep, intense long stare.

Portrait of an aged out bitch boy.

A heaven of a lot, live to give.
A hell of a lot of mistakes, lessons learned, lived.

And so what if he wants to lick, worship the feet of the man he loves.
Its the feet that haunt him the most, for some reason. That and the lips and the mesmerizingly soulful, soaked in silent, "so much inside" eyes.

This is what haunts him, stirs him to sweat, the middle, darkness, of night.

"If only he could see me, what inside i hold, hide, he the one out there, hiding all of his treasure, too, deep inside"..

We've all got our twists, we've all got our ties. We've all got our secrets, we've all got our lies. Mostly the ones we tell ourselves, spilled onto others.

Portrait of an aged out bitch boy.

He was really a lover, but the world couldn't accept, understand him.

The effect, another exceptionally rare masculine magic man, utterly just himself too, could have on him.

So he adapted, but never adopted,
the ability to play the game as anything but himself.

And that's why and how, he sits, dreams,
feels, still believes...

and

aged out now, walks alone.

this time...with hope.

as he feels, somehow,
he is walking with someone,
not yet here,

but not, in heart, so alone.

be it this life or the next,
that man, that guy
able to see, handle, embrace
and accept, truly value, love him

yes, he will, one day
come home.

it's kind of amazing
the things we survive
a shrug of the shoulders,
rear view mirror, look behind
talking to ourselves, saying
"i guess that's just life"..

we are so terrible, borderline awful
to each other
awful, no not "traditional sense"
just in the sheer succumbed to state
utter, infinite selfishness

ego first, it seems, last, always
"gain for me", at the expense, faces
fall aways...

of anything, anyone
"too present", "too there"..
ask jesus, he knows
greatest sin, "too much care"..

for another, anointed
by the broken, disjointed
body tied mind, tied sensitive
tied kind..
we, these, "the ones"
most likely lost here
as in out of our fucking
"think, feel for ourselves" minds

because
who has the thought,
who has the time
when "self" is all one sees
in the mirror,
the camera, the image
the illusion, now clearer

than the blur of actual,
factual reality
those so loyal, present to you
the first to be ripped apart,
the last to be glued

back together,
this "now or never"
place, little trace
of continuity, grace
upon the fragile, tender, of time
it's stab, grab what you can
and "it's all good" if all the good
it is mine

spotlight hoarded
little to no realized,
real remorse, this..
reality we all end up, the same place
so few, true, remember us
if not in your face, gone,
little to no, romanticized trace

and all of our bullshit
what, exactly, the purpose of it?
soundbites, detached nights
"pathologically positive"
more the frenzy, less the fight

to maintain, sustain
the soul, something real
something, so damned then
real fear is that which struck you
sweet sided, to feel

feeling reserved
for the perfectly posed
and placed, "next to no one"
it's destroy the heart, hurry it up
and drop the knife, flee, faster
on the run...

the road to nowhere, ruin,
what have you...
if amongst the no one's you can't see,
the one, remained steadfast
in their love for you,
a "once in a lifetime" belief

friend or foe
can you tell the difference?
does it matter, if it demands
consideration and care
the ability to be human,
it's such a waste of time,
a hindrance

what with texts, returned, to avoid
and games of gain to rejoice
and phone calls to never make
and so much "get and grab"
for the take

so are you my fate?
or my fatal mistake
can't get past you, can't give up
because before, amongst you
i felt something
I'd never truly before experienced
something in multitudes,
layers of love, emotion,
mysterious

the weight of wind mixed with earth
mixed with stars, soaked the skin

and i heard a voice inside, unknown
that whispered,

"my god, i can't believe it...
i can feel something so different now, this encounter with him"..

(and how did this happen?
in his torturous absence
that question devours me daily
all the self doubts and maybe's..

but...."maybe not's"..
let time and patience prevail,
no "forgot"...
to say or do the things, "lived truth"
fearless and fire blessed,
it all begins and ends, here

beyond me, become you...)

anymore. (what choice do i have)

care but don't care
aware but unaware
stop to love you
stop to care,
careful, whom your heart
stripped bare...

most are only casual,
the "come on",
"over here",
"the rub", to rub on...

one dimensional waters, rise
say anything once, twice
lacquered, slacker, "easy take" thighs

it's all about "the smooth",
and "the flow"
as in who you choose
to know and go

with and to and forth,
south, north
"no regrets", so no remorse
sentenced, "slick"
think "salt lick", horse
salivate soon, says
"suck on this", source

lemons, limes
nickels, dimes
chunks and hunks
chanced, chosen time

cocks and blocks
so schooled, "hard knocks"
better, "whatever-ed"
bathed, "on the rocks"

liquor, come quicker
the thin of the thicker
the bitch of the bicker
the lick of the sticker

stamped, so tramped
and walked upon, "wow"
it's live for the moment
get what, and whom, you can now

as in "get with the program"
or "get lost", get going
who is in front, manned
the boat you are rowing?

who is in charge?
as you capsize, hit the barge
breakdowns for breakthroughs
show you
"shit shows for shine throughs"

...what choice do i have?
really, just the same as you..
nothing left to fear, so to lose
nothing impassioned, left to say,
so, to prove...

so mean it all
if you're willing, able, to fall
and save your last dollar
for when destiny calls

you might need it,
believe it
you just never know
which body, before you,
can withstand all the blows

whom, the piper, you will pay
a tithing, a token
a "yes, please", want to stay
to gain "the get"
to whom "have, hold" is your way

uncompromised.
more smile, less despise
more pleasure, so prized
more reveal, less disguise

anymore
what choice do i have?

in the end, it begins
when

all you have to do

is ask....

(or take, no mistake,
maybe..."too honest",
but nothing was it ever "half baked"
or faked)....

free the heaven
trapped inside of me
if only you could see,
the things i see

the remarkably beautiful
amongst the destructive and dutiful
ones without minds, inside their heads
how they make me hate this world
walk, wishing i was dead

all the ones for whom words
are almost, as in never,
attached to their hearts
all the shit speak and shit talk
murdered, love, language
as a cherished work of art

all the endless bodies,
people everywhere
piled more and more
on top of each other
as daily, to extinction
are the humans who care

about the innocents, the animals
trees, nature, real life
things not digitized, filtered to frenzy
cartooned, dumpster dived

opinions and imbecility
tossed and thrown everywhere
as if most are listening,
amongst all the "me, me, me",
stop to care

back to the brilliance,
removed from the bull
it's found, in mystery, the universe
and in "the rare", that are full

of passion and character,
uniquely their own,
the ones that slay you love struck,
you are not here alone

away from the ever growing
technology onslaught
and another fucking mall
to sell all our souls, clearance sale
pre-priced, bought

there are some
who are just...so...
utterly gorgeous, in glow
demand, you be stopped
in your tracks, "need to know"

be around them,
sweet confound, them
as in "how..in..the..world..
this gross society, they exist.."

that's the magic, yes it is
like the breath that you blew out
the candle, didn't know them, the wish

because once real love found
is one really ever the same,
in the after?

glow and show
and know, the divine
actuality of state
"give you mine"...

my heart, my hope,
my "anything you need"...
this, the sweet, soul shine
a sustenance no food can feed

a succumb, remove the numb
remove the skin and begin again
believing, just maybe,
beyond all the shit,

"hmmm, there just might be,
something to, the something to this"..

thing called a journey,
some call it a path

and i walk with them,
swell of love, locked inside of me

their incredible, irreplaceable etch
their is, without question
no need, dare to ask..

the why?
and what?
and how?

none to speak..

the most awe inspiring awareness..
the beautiful ones, things
you never planned to find,
did not dream, search their seek

they just came, and appeared
and for that, i kneel
the profound, the endeared

for a life i now cannot imagine
stay here, without them...

for 32 years
there was only one guy,
two girls

and now...

there is him.
