She Will / Free Form (1-13-95)
For him she will lie beneath his weight
and listen to his soul
speak of pleasures she longs to hold.

From him she will swallow every breath
with an undying thirst for more
until she is stripped of all that came before.

With him she will move in synchronous rhythms
which changes her inside
into wishing she hadn't such furious pride.

Before him she will express her secrets
as well, her insecurities
hoping he'll wait till she's released of impurities.

On him she will deliver her hopes and fears
wanting his acceptance
desperately yearning for his pardon and patients.

In him she will place her faith and trust
explaining she loves him as she must
or her soul will be lost within the lust.

To him she may offer her very be-ing
but she needs understanding and time
to feel her flesh a worthy wine.

So fantastically freeing, i'm caught
in the power and lure of your free-form thought.

Beside My-Self  (11-20-1993) Bizarre, very bizarre. This evening was lost. Body and soul existing out of synch, yet one. One slightly ahead. One slightly behind. Leaving me lost on this plane. Anxiety beckoning calling my name with an out-stretched hand kissed me long and deep. Leaving me lost on this plane. Drained of my spirit’s energy. Mad at the world Not understanding why. Not understanding why.  

The Point (4/16/95)
I think i thought rebellion
would prove a point to all.
I found myself in pain
so i put up a wall
and headed in another direction.
No one stopped me with the right question.
Diverging from the ache
i moved away from my self
appearing in strange places
acting like someone else.
Often proud of barrier building
i thought they made me strong
keeping my-self distanced
from every thing around
 including me.
Eventually some one cared enough
to ask this truth of me
though slightly disappointed
that someone wasn't me
i've realized that i'd forgotten
the reasons these bars be.
So i'm moving back through hurdles
many and immense
no longer boasting carpentry
deconstruction's too intense.
Seeing where the tangent occurred
from atop of each blockade
i'm moving closer to the point
where my break from me was made.

Awakening  (7-28-1995) A feeling deep inside me somewhere out there, a huge feeling. Something is about to happen so big. It’s coming - coming - coming. Let it come. Let it be. I’m ready. Solar Plexus, Heart and Crown spinning oh, so freely. An excitement building i did not create, hovers just above me, about me, before me. I’m reaching out. Feel me.

  Pink Blanket  (7-20-94) I know your heart's been broken I know you're extremely complex. I know you've dealt with issues of purity, love and sex. I can not right their wrongs or relieve the pain of scars but, if nothing else i shall remind you of love's pristine state - true. I'll watch as love pursues you through my flesh and bone and breath. Your blanket i carry upon my wings offering security, peace and rest.  

Coming Again  (4-15-1995)
He’s coming again.
I can feel it.
My longing from the separation
is a pain i too well know.
I want a love like before
i can remember -
but i remember.
And he’s coming again,
i can feel it.
I know his eyes.
They speak to me.
I know his heart.
It beats for me.
I will hold him again
as never before.
Come, my prince, come.
Your love i adore.

EQUATION  (5-19-1995)

In back i ride to a distant place. Far from my heart.

Close to my mind.

You’re riding -- You’re wining -- You’re wanting.

I’m there.                              I’m here.

I’m everywhere you wish to be.

I see, in your eyes, a child. Cold, lost and lonely.

I offer comfort. I offer me.

-- See --

My child wandering far to find this home.

Your home.

In your arms, i am whole and wish to remain grounded.

The children ran far, frightened by reflection.

Coming now, full circle to find themselves in themselves.

Leaving the fear behind.

We are one together for division reduces by two:

You in me.                         Me in you.

Ode to Leo Fender  (4-8-1993) 

Oh, those fingers.   

Those wonderful hands. 

Listen...music   

alone i stand. 

What i would give   

to be that guitar, 

To be held and caressed   

like those six-strings are. 

He’ll never know   

this power over me. 

He closes his eyes  

and refuses to see... 

The world we’d conquer   

if he’s let me in. 

Listen...it’s passion   

from deep within. 

In light i shall never   

want so much 

to be worthy of any   

similar touch. 

For the depth of him   

is solely reserved for that mystical, magical   

thing which is heard. 

Oh, those fingers.   

Those magical hands. 

Listen...music   

alone i stand.   

Perpetuation  (7-2-1994) TEACH THE BABIES about freedom. Especially the freedom of speech. Then one day LOVE WILL ABOUND and your baby will never be weak.   

I'd Love To   (3-12-95)
              for Frank Rossi
I'd love to give an explanation
but you blew my fucking mind.
Never met another like you,
You're truly your own kind.
         Your essence i find beautiful,
         losing my-self there.
         Sometimes i'm left speechless
         and all i can do is stare.
                  I came here seeking karma,
                  never expecting you.
                  I thought my-self untouchable
                  until i was touched by you.
                           I suppose this could mean little
                           since my stay is nearly through
                           but my peace lies in expression
                           and my heart resides in truth.
              I'd love to sweep you off your feet
              and care for you my way,
              giving you freedom in comfort
              and a mystical place to play.
     You may not want to hear this
     though the words may make you smile-
     I'd love to be the one to love you
     and you've known it all the while.


  Thy Kingdom Come  (9-95) For her divinity her beauty she shines like a nova. To be blessed with her gift of expression i am grateful. To be the receptor of words i draw in and accept. Momentum moves us forward by nature. It's time.

        Metaphysics  (4-10-94)
        Astral projection
        Powers of the mind
        That which exists
        beyond space and time.
        Hypnotherapy
        experiencing it again.
        Deja Vus
        like harmonic overtones.
        Instances of revelation
        on past events are like...
        Do brain waves,
        the electrical impulses
        the energies,
        do they reach that source?
        Out of the spectrum?
        Do they then exist also
        beyond space and time
        resonating key moments
        which brought the revelation?
        My Deja Vus
        how they plague me so
        with intrigue.
        Keeping me in line
        i believe.

Days (daze) in LA.  (7-9-1994) If you had any idea how often you’re on my mind through my thoughts in my dreams... then maybe you’d see. Love knows no distance. Bounded not by time. I will carry your smile past my ends. All-ways knowing the joy we shared and the love you deny. This power is strong. If only to remind you of its essence, Love led me to you in hopes you won’t again forget. If you do, you’ll see me in graffiti on the wall music in your ear a touch on your flesh. I may be a blip on your screen. This power is not unseen.

        How to Invoke the Healing Powers  (3-10-1994) Stress shows physically. It seems if i ask relief in true sincerity till the yearning becomes a burning and i’m completely enveloped in it’s magnificence.... i awake in such a somnolent state that every thing about me seem abstracted, filtered somehow from my conscience until i’m eventually dissolved from the force. I do not yet know what takes place in that sleep but alas! The mirror tells the truth, and i thank.

        Flowing Well  (7-18-94)
        From your soul, the fruit, comes a nectar
        far greater than it seems
        It's depths could fill a well
        of enormous wisdom and strength.

        Then spill delightfully over
        never to cease nor spoil
        moving us all with a current
        from a grander, infinite flow.

        This, of that well, reminds of your beauty
        taunting me with more
        serving to secure my faith
        in Love for-ever more.

        To bask in this glorious flavor, i wish
        so long as you allow.
        Savoring the sweet you share
        from swim, to taste, to swallow.

        For i to create an image
        and show thee what i see,
        you'd love the be the nectar
        from the fruit off that tree.

For a Greater Love  (2-5-1995)  

There comes a time when loves are distinct  

in degrees moving from spirit to instinct  

and in this time a distance comes clear,  

leaving no choice but to break or tear.  

 

Though fleshly bonds leave longing for more -  

that one-ness allows emotions to soar  

and passion to pour through every vein of be-ing,  

separate from the soul, it can be deceiving.  

 

The glory enjoyed temporarily, at best  

without similar faith, the two shall not rest.  

While naval love aches to work through-out  

love from the crown leaves no doubt...  

 

There is a grander scheme beyond this time  

through which the higher love only survives...  

and i know this time, despite all tears you see  

‘tis for a greater love you set me free.
