Wondering
Where is it?
That explanation I've been looking for-
I must have misplaced it or perhaps
It's hiding...
Somewhere in the back of my brain
Or asleep-dreaming
Scheming my demise actively
Plotting to assault my sincerest hopes
Seducing even my behavior...

So Now I Am Free
So now I am free-
I stay up half the night
Then sit in coffee shops
Drinking coffee-
I don't care what it tastes like,
Writing poetry...
I know the instant I try to get up
I will fall asleep-
The action would be too abrupt,
There are but interludes
Which interpose
And interrupt...

Zen Brain
I'm going from strange to stranger
Every year
It's going from strange to stranger
Every year
I take it back
You're panicking
I take it back
I just don't know
I really thought I wanted to go
But when you're close
You look through me just like a ghost
I like sleeping
I'm only safe when I'm dreaming
I need a new heart
This one's hollow always scheming
You wait for summer
And then you wait for winter
But there's a total lack of splendor
Zen brain
Throw away your crushes
All your childhood crutches away
Super brain
Never scared of nothing
Violence or loving my way

Searching For You
I searched for you everywhere
No knowing where you really were
I went as far as another constellation
And in my failure to find you
I grew in indignation
My life is now painful and in review
Unaware you were hiding
Behind the moon's shadow
Residing in a place cold and hollow...
Sarcastically you were smiling at me
Without you, now I know what I can be...
O! Lord! What an irony!
The living proof of an agony!

Softly
Softly, softly
Fading
Like the dye of
An old garment
Until
I am
Trapped in the darkness...
It is like this
Being lost
And if I can't
Find my way
Back again
I will be
Colorless...

Who's

There is but
One
Proprietor...
How could I be
Trespassing
Here? ...
I just wonder!

A Pure Fact
There's a contradiction
In wanting to be understood
And finding no explanation
Worthy of the question...
Allusion is not evasion
But a hint to discovery
Revealing broader perception
Than still definition...

To The Woman In The Shadow
If it ceases to be yours
When you cease to be you
Then what is yours
And who are you
To tell me where to go
Or where I cannot sleep
Or what you own?
Sorry so-called love,
Try the next guy...

You Will Go To A Place
One day you will go to a place
And I will not be there
Maybe by spring you will sit
Next to motionlessness
Brokenhearted
Deeply thinking about me
But I will not be there...

Simple Thought
Waiting...
Just until
Someone comes
To claims me...

Tossed away
From all care...

The Cold War isn't thawing; it is burning with a deadly heat. Communism isn't sleeping; it is, as always, plotting, scheming, working, fighting.

You Won't Last
You won't last
In this sleep
If your forgetfulness
Be a halo of beauty
And if your heart wants
Only one complaint
That will be sufficient...

Sincerely
What you feel
Is not illusion
Only shadowed
By confusion
Two eyes cry
For one solution
Desperate for
Resolution...

The Way To Go
As every day goes by,
And everywhere I go,
I deeply think of you….
I have come to realize
That the time has arrived
For me to let you go…
From my heart and mind,
And this time forever….
Just simply, let you go…
It won't be easy,
But it can be done,
Once and for all…
Let somebody else,
Put the pieces back together,
And mend my now, broken heart…
we will build together,
A new bridge that will lead us:
to an everlasting love…

Why Have You Begun To Speak
Why have you begun to speak
In this season
The faith of friends
Has not flowered yet...
So where are you going
So fast my dear friend?
Only you got the answer...

River Shannon
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
The stars fell down on the factory
The cathedrals repeating, the light receding
Bells on another day
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Oh Shannon
The lightning' fell
There's an army down by the riverside
But I might be dreaming'
I can see that you don't believe me
And I might be dreaming'
If I dip into your water
Fall through my reflection
I will shadow myself anyway
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right
That I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
The soldiers are coming'
The guns are drumming' the night away
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for believing'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
I might be wasting' my life away
listening' to you
Down on under the streetlight
You shudder and beat
The edge of the waterway
And I know if I had time
I might dive in your water
Lie right down in the evening rain
I just want this pain, pain to go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for bleeding'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming

I Hate the Thought of Hate Crimes
A crime is a crime no matter how cut it,
A murder is a murder, a rape is a rape,
An assault is what it is,
A crime scene is a crime with the yellow tape.
If the prisons were to be abundant,
We can then send to jail all are convicted,
We don’t have to pardon anyone out overcrowding and time off for good behavior,
We must send all the criminals that indicted,
Guilty as charged that is what should fuel our endeavor.
Are we really up to the cost?
Are we really up to taxation?
Are we saying we have lost?
Are we saying we’ll pass another law,
such as hate crimes,
without a suitable explanation?

You Stand Beside A Star
You stand beside a star
and together you go out
In a night where day breaks
Suddenly...and in this leaving
No one sees you in the light...
O! beautiful whiteness
O! sorrowful traveler...

Two Hearts, One Love
One life
Is finite
Two are
Constantly
Recombining
In infinite
Possibility...
They free
Each other
The way
Of lovers
Escaping past
The sentinel
Of eternity...
