Picture of you

Go around naked

naker nakest.

Lit by the red sun

while I get bested.

Looking glass

looking at you

a forgotten picture

of truth.

If this is all,

then so be it.

I’m glad I could

eat your pity.

Gardener of toys

I plucked my flower,

I plucked her right;

I drank her moisture

And wetted her thigh.

Before I went home

with her sad eyes

she told me not to:

I waved goodbye.

For always there is

one flower more.

One pixie laughing

for good candor.

Farewell then, flower.

And farewell love.

Perhaps tomorrow

You’ll be my doll.

Vortex

Twisting deftly

Into my face,

Blue air

Of her.

Compulsive truther

I lie

and I cry.

I lie

and I die.

I lie

and I find

that the best place to lie

is by your side.

Broken Words

The tyger wants to run;
the tyger wants to hide;
the tyger wants to jump high
and turn the tide
of all the words
he's broken.

The rabbit won't let go;
the rabbit will give chase;
the rabbit wishes she would fail
and not loose face
when everything
just crumbles.
