  • The Underground – A Note

  • The Butterfly

    Another stop,
    a diversion, 
    another roadside
    *,
    the last great, big,
    ball of barbed wire.  
    
    *attraction.
    
    On the way
    to your comfort zone:
    *deep sigh* and 
    streeeetch -
    going;
    what grew inside you,
    found you
    missing.

  • you my

    My mind buzzes over you.
    No use hiding from the truth.
    I hope it’s coming,
    what we’ve got coming - 
    I need it. 
    I need to feel inside,
    a castle on the hill
    with faces in the vines. 
    I need you. 
    
    
    No use hiding every night.
    I see something in your eyes.
    If you’re not something, 
    I’ve got nothing. 
    I need it. 
    Fuel the fire inside 
    a wood burned stove 
    with glassy eyed cries. 
    I need you. 
    
    
    I don’t know where time has gone.
    Last I seen, it up and run. 
    Ah, but nothing,
    it’s all nothing. 
    I don’t need it. 
    A crumbling tide. 
    The house fell down, 
    nobody inside. 
    I need you. 
    
    I need you. 
    
  • The Artist of Pithewa Peak

    A man who paints memories 
    gave me one to take. 
    Gift wrapped from you it said, 
    "Give your mind a rest
    and keep your heart awake."
    I see him paint there still, 
    where the sun stains the forest skin.
    I will never forget that day - 
    the closest to you I have ever been.
