Paper Doll

It's hard to be your paper doll but on paper we're fine

It's hard to smile a paper smile when on paper you're mine

It's hard to love a paper doll such a fragile thing to do

And pretend with all our paper lies the doll is not...

It's hard to live a paper life but we do it so well

It's hard when papers glamourize our pretty little hell

It's hard to love a paper doll such a delicate coup

And pretend with all our paper lies the doll is not you.

Confidence

Confidence

a word shuffled around this week

but what does it mean?

It means celebrating yourself

self-actualizing your dreams

choosing your paths,

fantasies,

possibilities,

and knowing with all certainty

that you are the o.n.e.

they will never forget

and cannot do without;

knowing how much of your life bleeds into the life force of others.

Feeling your own pulse as a thrust in life's machine.

Important.

Blessed.

Cherished.

and Free.

Tales of True Love

Speak now

or forever hold two pieces-

one of you

one of me

separately.

But miss this Serendipitous Glue

and float forever

half one pair of glass shoe.

One prince,

Lonely town asleep,

Have me Hold me

and life we shall keep.

Pastel Days

you know it's summer here

always summer

endless as looped music

peaks without valleys

create new high flatlines

and i ride spikes

find caves

play my music in their greyish echoes

play dark notes about pastel days

and climb to precarious summits

to paint the wind with memory.

Yours...

PAVE

THE ROAD

WITH

BEAUTIFUL

STONES

Pitch

I would find you in pitch

Tied and bound

Two magnets found

As an owl finds its prey

And dark finds day

The things we do I will

Never deprive

I would find you in the corner of the moon

And expect you home for dinner soon

Moth to my flame

All shadow, no shame

in needing me to feel alive

After You

The red of blood

The red of wine

After you

I'll be fine.

A Truth

It is the mind that makes

the body-

Sojourned truth I learned well

and I have made up my mind to be bright

And now my body is streaming light

even if only you can tell.

With or Without You

With or Without You

I'll be in love

This was my final kiss

My final kiss off

My true self taking over

and letting me play me;

the role of a lifetime

finally earned

and finally learned.

I'm always going to be this special being,

Ready to love at a moment's call

whether it be you,

someone else

or

no one

at all

The light hits this mirror from inside the wall

there's only flight

when your'e not afraid to fall.
