Singing Sex in Sleep

Alien sounds

circle my bed

Electric rhythms

Swim through my head

Brandish my brain

without pain

They control my mind

Slip through time,

a few memories

in disguise.

 

The notes,

They Itch,

Awake a need

I hear you breathe,

You fly with me.

 

A violin plucks high on E

Crescendos as it bends with speed

Lyrics cry out in lurid pleasure

A drum beats grizzly

every measure.

 

Song intensifies

I'm in trouble

In poetic flight

I am vulnerable.

Steamy words

Tasty chords

Mind screams on

song by song.

A Coca-Cola and A Dream

Angry voices

make me grunt

 add to the anger

and I must fly

 

I'm crazy

How did I get here?

Disappointment flogs me

like pride crushed by

blessed humility

And I wonder

What the fuck is wrong with me?

Shall we make a list

you fucking perfectionist

you triple MLP wanna be

Ripped open half the time

waiting to bleed and bleeding

Freely fighting mind cells

 

going Crazy

Wondering

what sort of pill will help me?

A vitamin  a drug a new vice-

Supplements for sanity

And Jesus Christ.

And I wonder

am I on to something?

Don't forget about the Goddess

and she won't forget about you.

Then I have a Coca-Cola

and a dream.

Foe

Words wrestle words

They stab

They fuck.

People keep pushing

Sucking life out.

Your sound

is dying

I am breathing loud.

You crook

You liar

I billow vicious nouns.

You dare me?

to say it?

To drag these words out?

You're selfish

You're naked

You're six fix under ground.

You won't see it coming

You'll stumble

You'll fall.

Black moments will return

They haunt you

They maul.

Just wait

and see-

You're no use to me.

You lost one already

because of your greed.

Scroll down for two new poems

Epic

You speak of life and time

as if they are simple matters

worthy of cliché

But within this mind of mine

filled with dreams of memories

I must say

We are human-

I must ask

Who is sane?

Perhaps I'm out of focus

or cannot see a frame -

what do I wish for ...

         a peaceful brain..

I am a woman

a witch, a wonderer,

who smells the earth

after the rain --

I breathe the breeze

that has been kissed

by the missed--

by the lake--

I embody the sun

the life

the day--

I dream the moon,

gliding by its craters -

yet I remain

with my shadows

in my cloud of days...

 

What is it

that you hold on to?

your god?

your cock?

your mom?

your clock?

the tick

the tock

It does

not stop

in the name

of the father

the son

and -

    STOP !

It's okay

it's okay

good hygiene

everyday-

primetime TV -

a wedding cake!

 

Perhaps it's the children

who know the way

 

I give birth upon the page

 

Please allow me to explain:

I wander...

Among the intangibles

            questioning the credibles

             in search of incredibles

With the invisibles

          moving with musicals

          touching the spiritual

Willing the magickal

Loving the quest

I cannot rest.

She is the hero - the

Goddess bless

your life, your time,

my muse, my friend.

I am here

I was there

and I'll see you

at the end.

The Ring 

The need to write a poem pushes this pen-- I guide right in to the pleasing remedy. Life's ironies exert their forces                    I rebound in a dance of discrepancy.

The unspoken language I welcome to my knowledge...                                   Incautious, I become overwhelmed--ceased. And again it is escape I seek--mind altering, losing,                                             Back to the beginning of another ring.

 

Case No. 2004CM55555

In bong drift daze...

Life's song has two beats, stupidity wreaks havoc on a broken soul.

Love is or isn't times two times three time keeps creeping-- a ghoulish treat.

Unusual truths do peak through, but it's okay, keep hidden away, be cool.

Sense it all dancing with the sweetest mango and the softest horizon flashing paranoid,           grim.

In a daydream screaming monotone disguising voices within the same brain--

On and on rocking to beats tasting so sweet--and hair like a crystal river.

Numbing music caressing with whispers and piano pleasures...

 

Victim to addiction                             Sobriety

 

Remembering the pleasant things and not forgetting to brush your teeth. 

Energy comes naturally, while tasting strawberry covered crepes...

Another chore done with time to live, meditate, or dance a jig...

Love someone, and exercise with reggae guy--stretched out thighs...

Improvise, keep it wise.

Timely, precisely take the time, lest ye be victim to the sober dream.

Yesterdays gone--try not to scream.
