Spin me spin me spin round
When I drop you can look
down
Falling over but looking up
I'm dropping again no one
pick me up
I can trip it all up all by
myself
Spin me round
Answering the Asked Questions
test me, I'm so use to being
toyed with about my knowing,
ask your questions and find my answers;
be they pure genius or merely mundane...
I never claimed Einstein, nor any other
human, as the fuel for my brains' power,
it's simply live and learn or learning to try living
but never losing all my hope and sadly dying
Phaser Set to Stun
ok, Darling, does Mr. Bones, know you
well enough to prescribe prescriptions?
because the last time I checked he
was just a doctor Jim, far out there,
so when was that perfect aha moment whenever spacey theories held gravity
I’ll just be here waiting with my phaser
set to stun, don’t wanna hurt no one

Pang of Denial
the blood spoke out loudly,
singing to those listening ears,
it grew from body warm to a cooler
shade of blue, but still remained red
nothing helped and it sunk into the earth
down below it took on the form of yellow...
there it was now, depressed, and clinging to the unsung;
those ancient skeletons of the fallen yesteryears, denied

The Edge of the Abyss (Gain)
even though, I have always suffered
the deepest grasp of dark depression
I never gave my pains over to drink
nor chemical inducing hallucinogen
instead, I choose, to face the red-eyed-demons of damp exhaustion, head-on,
I went headlong into creepy dysfunction, standing on the edge of the abyss, gain

Dear, is it Clear?
I love you
I hug you
I kiss you
What do you do
You hate me
You hit me
You kick me
Dear
Is this what you call love
It seems to be so unclear
Maybe you should rethink it
Dear
I love you
I hug you
I kiss you
I hope you love me too
Dear
Love should be clear

The Old Owl Uttered
dark dew drops coming
from the old owl's eyes,
as he'd seen the eons
of far and long behind
but nothing, no wisdom(s),
he's ever uttered outright
were even taken, as more,
than cuckoo bird looniness
although, soon, the sky will
cry its clouds and stars out...

Between Two Strangers
cannot make you seek,
cannot make you speak
we could sit with our
loose limbs folded up
we could sit with each other
but, still be, so out of touch
loveless and lost on
a dark starless night
numbingly letting the time
slip between two strangers

Good Enough Liar
do not reveal your secrets
to everyone, anyone, none
instead, horde them up
safely in your own head
no one needs to know
the true you, nobody
deserves to see the knowledge
that exist inside your dull bones
no, not even you yourself if,
if you’re a good enough liar

Truly True North
smithereens in the old bloodstream,
a remanence of childlike innocence
once believing in everyone, everything
but free will creates wilding creatures
whichever way is truly true north, really
whenever the rules change intermittently
sure, run around the world as bodiless beasts, but hang on to the senselessness, headstones

Want and Woe
time moves on
and on and on
I sit here waiting
to finally begin…
the years pass by
and the tears dry
reminiscing about
who I will become
though the nightmares
of want and woe won’t
ever slow, never slow,
I sit right here waiting

Telepathically
wanting a warrant to
arrest the sorrowful
pain that had overshadowed
the plentiful, joyful, mercies...
wishing the see the lit sun
instead of only overcasting
moving the clouds telepathically
so your thoughts fly like eagles

My Hollow Heart's Eyes
late at night, after all those bored people have gone to bed, that's when the beautiful star filled emptiness awakens, my hollow heart's eyes...
the signs and signals are there, comforting me,
alas, I tend to pay more attention to black cats,
midnight owls and nightingales, my affections
steering this heavy wheel through the caress
of backwood trees, their crooked gnarled limbs invite me deeper into some shadowy thicket
freely, veering away from hubbubing yesterday,
slumbering escapes me, as the salty silhouette of a lone wolf tells me of a hungry consumption

Love Hate Love
love, you twisting beast;
I thought we were related,
but you're such a slippery devil
with much too much cunning...
although, I surmise, we were forced
in our first meeting, with unkindness,
but I have a sneaking feeling, that in due time
we can become acquainted corretly - and it'll last
because though we've rammed our heads before, in the past, we're never really done
as there's no living without the slightest shimmer of hope - besides hate's far too haughty
