in your sleep i dream

as you sleep my eyes gently watch your dreams
soaring from your heart like meteors
showering through the skies of your mind
i see land in your body
your skin the color of naked earth,
you, my ground to discover, dance kiss and stretch along
i come to you as ocean comes to rock over millions of years
my hair falls and sweeps across your chest like the curls of white water
tumbling, i am wild upon nature's perfection as your sands tingle and winds moan
my water lays upon you with you inside me
together our shapes and textures ever changing through ourselves,
creation moving, growing, freeing, new
here, we are as what forms all that is

Glass Eyes Full Of Blood

Your voice it scares me,
Your intensity makes me exhale a river of nervous waves
Tides that overwhelm me until my shore is bleak, naked and renewed
Your dark side is so hidden it is like my mine
You stare at me with fear and I see my reflection like glass Just before it breaks
I sit here waiting to be thrown, smashed against my own suppression
Smashed against my own regret
Break me and cut myself open with the pieces
Cut me ‘til this blood starts to flow
Make my eyes see make my blood cry
Let warm red tears gush down my cheeks
So I may taste this truth, speak it from my lips
DIgest it and bleed on

This Pain

This pain is not my own
Your mistakes I should have left with you
I wish to leave you behind
You are a trick, that mirage in my review mirror
Not here now and never really were
But like my mind I feel you
Sometimes you even talk
Raging through my marrow the way you always burned
Trying to siege my essence
You under estimate, I am more than physical
I am stronger than what possesses me
All you’ve ever had is my body.
I want to end this. I want to write it, crumble it and burn it, all upon your chest as I cry.
Leave it as carcass and walk by.
Leave my nightmares and walk into my dreams.

Screams In My Hallway

There’s a hallway of torture past one of the walls in my memory
I keep the door closed now but I know it is there
Sometimes I still feel it looming towards my peace
It tries to shroud itself in alluring costume
In a multi toned zephyr it appears
Its first touch excites me
But a twist of beauty quickly reveals destruction
Scenes of pleasure and horror blur into one
Contorted bodies attacking helpless faces
Shrieks no earthly hound can cry
Echo in blackness
While a cold red hue hazes an omnipotent eye
There’s a pulse screaming,
Chasing my breath through infinite borders
A tunnel void of structure allows no freedom
The only element is wind without spirit
I must imagine the other doors before I can see them
A door of fire burns the red into heat
A door of ocean rushes the pulse into a calm river flow
A door of air stirs the breath
A door of earth gives bounds to stand ground upon
Stairs of opportunity offer themselves to me beyond
Though the stairs go down nor up
They are only steps of assiduous resolute
I finally covet insight in polished black stones
Throwing nothing but letting them gravitate back
With tidal power
My hallway transcends into a conduit of what I receive
It is flooded with perennial madness
Seasonal change
The awe of nature’s wild inside me
I am a scream of pure reception and release
Breathing rolls over, under, from and in me
Even in this hallway I am still in my home.
