Get out get out get out
Burst out of my head, please
If that’s what you need
Make it bleeeeeeeedddd
Make the ink run
All over the paper
Throughout the sea of my mind
Release the beasts
They’re stalking around their cages
And it’s making me nervous
Blow the bars up
Split them wide open
Make the wild
At one with the world
Just hold me tight
When the explosion burns
And we turn spinning
Round and round and round and round
I listen to you
You listen to me
Two
Wanna fly to the moon,
Grab my girl along the way
Or maybe sometime after,
I cannot really say
Where I'm going
Or where I am
But I see it in my head
Around and beneath and above me
Are stars contained
In shimmering vessels,
Fleshy bodies just about to
EXPLODE
Like the fire inside my mind,
Roaring, crackling, cackling at
The ones who see the marvelous Me,
The wizard with a wand stuck in their face
Threatening, prodding,
Piercing, transforming
The wish-rocks that
Orbit in my way
Over the moon,
Straight on till morning,
Across the universe,
Landing in my heart.
It’s been seven months
Since the time I last saw you
Fell to pieces that night
In the dying moonlight
Shared my feelings for you
Poured them onto the gritty concrete
Out of my mouth, away from my heart
Hoping with you they’d stick
I never thought the day would come
But the time was right
And I knew it well
There I was, shaking with desire
There were you, frozen by my words
Paralyzed, speechless in the new spring air
Then finally responding
“I’m not sure if I dare.”
Agony
Then relief
Then agony again
Followed by a slow burn
Down to bereavement
Over the loss of us
This girl’s on my mind,
An ache that sets me free.
The joy she brings is tough to find;
It lets me know I’m me.
Indeed, I’m alive
When I look into her eyes.
The spark goes on forever,
And the love bond never dies.
This girl’s in my mind.

Thomas and the Gray Man
Thomas briskly paced out the front doors of his suburban office building. Sounds were flooding his brain – the ticking of his wristwatch, the beating of his heart, his shoes hitting the pavement, and the blood rushing through his head. He had to get home soon. And it wasn’t just because Greer, the terrier, had to be let out.
That day, every staple, each slam of the trash can lid, had startled him. It was driving him crazy. Usually, recuperation at home was enough to see him through. Today, Thomas wasn’t sure that’d be the case. Still… Just one more day. Repeatedly telling himself that was all he could do.
As h
Things assumed,
Words unsaid,
The truth never told,
All in the head.
There are so many things
Unknown about me to others.
We laugh, we smile, we speak.
But if there are so many unknowns about me,
Oh how many about others can there be?
What's behind a laugh, a smile, a word?
How many secrets still remain unheard?
It goes without saying, no one knows.
We're all too absorbed in our fights and our woes.
We are all someone.
We are all full people -
Whole, unbroken.
Why does so much stay
Unspoken?
The barriers,
The fences,
What are they?
Oh, how rare
For two souls to be together.
Being alone,
Asking questions that have no answers,
People understanding,
But not one person.
Your work in you,
But you not in the work.
Creating something new,
Tragically letting go,
And setting it free.
Meeting that transcendent moment,
And then knowing it's gone - forever.
That's artistry.
I feel a push in my back.
I fall into a rocky wall.
With the people behind me, I can't turn back.
The surface of the ground has started to fall
And the people are gone.
From faraway I hear her voice.
I look behind me, but nothing exists.
I look up, and she is there, smiling.
I climb, punching the stone
And in that creating holds to use.
By the time I reach the top
I can't make that last stride.
I want to let go and glide
Serenely into the abyss.
I look down, and it doesn't look bad at all.
And then I look up -
And there's something even better.
There's her. She offers her hand.
