i

A poet’s blood lives in a box by the door

Bottle of wine

Mixed with

Cheese

And

love

ii 

Highway in the meadow sleeps on dreams of fate and mine go blind

Light of fate crawls forward from a mirror left blank in lady blue

iii

Vacancy plays in park side lanes of fame cast hard in night sweats

Full in mistaken of reality seeking for answers in smiles just eh same

Stiff as the wind taking souls from the alley to hells bleeding holes

iv

Spaces escape precipitation on a fairy tale in a back set love hoping

Faces read the minds looking for foot lights flying in a priceless jack

Sorrow comes in so high as the stars taking every piece of baby crying at me

v

Dreams loam in a triangle of once upon a gate in lawns pleading for dew

vi

Name burned in the pocket of depth reaching long for long ago sleeping

vii

Key was to being an actress in here she is getting more in a bar stoned

viii

Glory is the love placed in hands cold as the burn of needle leaving the mark

ix

Sight blurs to the stool let in honor of what they give as sun behind rain

x

Flight dies in devils kind resting comfortable in the wind dancing hope old

xi

Gentleness of angel’s breath gives back a kiss of rose in old thorns burning fast

xii

Birth in pools of wisdom come for the last giving of self healed as thru a glass turned

xii

Silence stills the need of satisfaction pending in chemicals seeking more please

xiii

Empty faces begin to lead the books holes of water detailed in risk-stayed feel

xiv

Promise just stops in travel from minds asking for a pride given value in reality

xv

Soft lies lend images into metal pause and reflections voided in heartache

xvi

Heart moves from this to that a nice talk to clouds pauses at issues long dead

xvii

Jive mixes as faces waltz into rooms dark and lonely finding self with a backpack bleeding

xviii

Home is a six-string singing to marry a mix of children and woman finding hobo memory

xix

Pail fills with tears from love songs played by going past window melody laughing

xx

Broom dances to the minstrel’s eyes on fire a life in talk wider of place to hide

xxi

Sheets become mountains climbing to be music of going away in passion kept

xxii

Fears never been so clean as pin up comes and goes past the boy becoming happy things

xxiii

Towels dry new souls seeking a place to come to shades and shadows on a wall

xxiv

Pleased as the candy finds the eyes of youth needing firm and length placed in a tower sent

xxv

Breath escapes to nowhere left to go for retribution spent

xxvi

Tangled fates mix and bend as sorrow comes to be a kiss left cold crying

xxvii

Strings fall again in mixtures of hope and more than stand in wedding garb

xxviii

Curled up in a ball of prisms of you lights colored real in paradise

xxix
 

Clanged a lovers request upon stage given spot light moral seen

Slip a mucky to hold and promise in background sound

Arms fling out mystic realms freeing spinning fast

Twist of words about things shaped poems

xxx
 

Toss a few bread crumbs to a few dying

Kiss a dark vision in scheme

xxxi
 

Story bleeds hope

Love keeps need

Sing laugh or read

xxxii
 

Chase will end

Tease her in fatal

xxxiii
 

Leave now for love

Alone stopped

xxxiv
 

Puppet teed

Stings plea

xxxv
 

Spin fast

Dances last

Spider webs done

xxxvi
 

Moods down

Tag please

xxxvii
 

Child dies

Off light

Guard alone

xxxviii
 

Angled fright

Butterfly fled

Knots blocked

Lesson paused

xxxix
 

Secret kept

Talk

Mean

Watched

Shape

Jumble

Parts

Work

Art

Comes

To

Own
