The light that cut through the blinds
Throwing shadows across my naked body
Split in two
Shades of black and white
...

The dawn came early and bright and yet it does not lighten my burden
I reach out from this damaged place inside of me
To fill the empty space you left in me
...

I see
Fields of Light
Swirling atomic
Splendor
...

Forged in the cosmic light
Bent and doubled
Pounded and aligned
A blade is formed
...

I am the work of ages
Long forgotten memories
That rise within
My sacred place
...

A man falls to his own complacency
Once he was a river
Running clear
To an unseen

Evolution January 30,2009

I walked by the river tonight
Was held for a moment in reverie
...

You deceive me with your lies
And your soft brown eyes
You speak with a forked tongue
Whispering of longed for love
...

...

I clung to his body last night
Pretending this moment would endure
Knowing it would not
...

Did I seek my redemption in you?
Or was it you who sought it in me?
In the line between two
I sought the one
...

Oh reign of fear
Thou hast taken away my very soul
I cling to the mist of my fantasy
Ever more ephemeral vapor
...

This is my memory of words spoken without meaning
I looked into your eyes the whole time
Never taking away my gaze
Searching for the spirit
...

I played with you today
A hand held out
Or dealt?
...

One wishes that words
Could change
What we know
But they do not
