Jan-Mar '16



Want


I want a hug and some kisses every day
I want to be vaguely missed in a way

When the days start to rewind and the good times stray
Sometimes I remember that little something that you'd say

"Go ahead kid, you'll be okay"
Whatever that means but hey,

I'll play that dream through a pipe, take it with the grain

When a smile is all I've left to say

I wish you knew what I'd choose to do 

What I'd give away



From A Squirrel


This is from a squirrel that tried to be a turtle dove

Twirl into a world of mirth and girth and Persian rugs

By Smurf, burping from the liquid love, he'll shirk a million hugs

Sharks they swirl, his hair did curl, 

Wayfaring girls in murky tubs,

To be, no Rubbie, running, ducking, squirting soapy suds

And see the money coming, free from tummy grumblings... so many vaginas

What friends? They said he'd never fly

His squirrelly family in denial

By and by the tears he cried gave
Him a stream in which to paddle

His favourite phrase, "I just don't know"
But one he only sang alone

He read the books from windows thrown
And for the Lord and with his soul 

Composed a poem that filled a tome
About the rim he liked to roam 

It was ignored and justly so
They said he wrote his own Bible

He climbed, he did the vine
The escalator saved for centuries later

With time this squirrel did fly
Not a dove, but a famous aviator

Hamsters running on their wheels
Rats racing labyrinths for their meals

Sharks breathe dirty bubbles thru awesome gills

Our cliché squirrel, left this world,


Reconciled in how he feels


Spillage


Ring, ring in my ear!
Fake tinsel glistening!!! *

Forget the copper!-  I now use that for my sink!?

You might not know!
So I have got to tell?
What stories grains of salt
Can spill!?

I'd will a clearer image
I'd will sincere mistake
I will not be reading off your will,
In your wavy wake

Why don't you kiss me, darling?
I wish you'd call me that
I wish I could understand,
Why, I'm so bad?

I think you would not care to know
The way I lust for you

We're better first, above the earth
In hot air balloons

Gravity, amazes me
I often let it slap me flat!

So scrape me off the pavement, baby!

I am nature's gravy!

It's crazy sad, but I'll be back...
By then I'll have your back.



Myself


I'm doing selfish things
I'm hurting myself
My self won't even see me,
'Cause he's off with someone else...

I wish I could re-run,
My days of young
I would hate to see you go,
You bored and lazy bum

I'd like to see you over here
But then again, I'm trying dear
I try too hard, too hard for myself

You know I'm just a blink away
I'll come to you in ever-glades
And shake sense falling from your mouth

I'd hate to see you hurt with me
Rolling 'round, like tumble-weed
Crumpled up, and put on to my shelf

I'd love to be what you want
Stained in glass, 'top Lego blocks
I'll be yours,
If you'll be myself

What time is right?
What phrase is free,
To be all it wants to be?

But I'm still lonely,
Still notes of music
Ripple thru faux-fur coats

My body is a voodoo doll
I keep it here,
I've got names to call

Why promise myself
Something I won't do?

The game remains the same,
I'm blinded by the rules

Why do I kid?
It's dark and dead
The bloody blazing sun
Is in my head

Like shapes,
I'd love to cut you out

Lose it all, for a silver tongue'd cloud

Who read the lips
Now empty voice
Sipping still in deadened space

Behind my brow,

Inside my face



The Prism


I see the prism for the rainbow ring

Tell when you're telling me the same old thing


My watercolour sailboat bleeds

Wish she'd whisper in my ear-

'Fuck me!', pale ghost please.


I see your body in a different light.

See your curves, sharp, knives.


Pulling strings cut the ties.


Left wide-eyed, blurry, mystified.
