Soft breeze and notes

Against my bedroom piano-keys

First, spell out your name.

Pause.

And then resume to paint picture frames of

You and I, both

                            Stood young, mid-aged & grey

                            Posed ivory white for a bride

                            And archaic black for a groom

Pickled,

Plastured,

Paddy whacked so perfectly into prisms

Spit to fill the sput, please.

I sit in a rotunda

And you look slightly puzzled

The corner of 4th street & Montana rests so silently,

You could easily mistaken the buzz from the hovering lamp post

For Brobdinganian wasp hives, busy at work

The corner of 4th street & Montana sits so perfectly still

You could toot and hum your favorite song

And it'd blare out the power of a Royal Orchestra

It's overwhelmingly quiet.

My pulse bangs congas in m...

Stood by your gate again

And watched the rain begin to pour

From far behind the aura of your door

I should have known...

That only tapes & picture phones

Could ever document the essence of your tone

'Cause, by now, I'd be informed; if you loved me

You'd walk out of your front door, alone.

                             But all you do is hide

Nitch in my throat

But the sugar in my nose flows

Just enough for me to sputter out "hello"

And there you were, my herbal connoisseur

Stood settled in a tie dye sweater and two hazy eyes

You pick and choose my weekend high

Sell me weed & tell me who I ought to be, as I

Sit dazed & make pretend I feel okay

Driving back to smoke my cave, but

All the way - th...

There's these catacombs of thoughts beneath me

I guzzle down, and seal tightly,

Anything I find secretive 

Someone asked me how I maintain a pastured, green appearence

Someone asked me why my face is plastured with a smile when they see me

"All you need to do is fertilize your self-respect", I said

        I get mine from the catacombs.

A belated phrase swims to me.

Whenever we talk

Your peridot aura reaches first

There's constant contrast between you and I

It grows far greater when we shorten the distance

I love it when people can't help but stare.

                   All they see is us,

                   All I see is you.

We're two fennel sprouts

Basking in a public garde...

Perched in my corner sight

Tippy-toe over to me

Then, lasso down both of my eyes

I'm yours

Eyes to ears to

"Follow me, my dear..."

Saving seats around the table

For the safety in your atmosphere

                                     ...I'm naked.

                  Naked.

                                       High ...

Shy baby, you glow.

From head to toe

From knees to neck

With flames curled in a bun

And a freckle to match, nonetheless, then every one of my thoughts

Starring you.

It sways me

And fumbles me 'bout to and fro

My word, I'm dazed...

With the fact stated

That you may never come to know,

Let alone read this.
