You keep looking

for them

behind the back
of a new day

You don't need a passport
to cross scattered continents

just simply REACH
the rest of me
I'm only 940 miles
and 5 northern states away

I give answers that you already
know
but you keep questioning
the ans(her) of .... (intent)

Aren't eye the cure
for love's addiction?

you with - - drawing

yet? ...

This is not why I have come...

I have come

to tell you that I have come ...

On my way to you
I noted an eclipse that
covered your brightest hopes

Yes --

I have come

... and now that I am here
before you I stand exposed
in true nakedness

I have had a safe journey
although my fears have
mounted against me

Travelling for 18 hours
from snow lined parkways
to desert alleys
anxious to meet the ghost
of a gypsy
who drinks the wine
until he's drunk

intox-eye-cated with
smooth words
that interest his


knowing


No one ever told me that
this ghost would haunt
me in my womanhood
or in tomorrow's memories

you're taunting my emotions
in day dreams

YOU ... he .... HE .... you

-- maybe I should go to
sleep?

I'm scared-

Fear does not acompany
me to bed ...

-- say my prayers
save my prayers

Kiss you in my subconscious
then search for the sun in your eyes
and bask in the meadows of
your conscience

You ask so many things
yet the answers abide in
each prose

*Love never comes home

(re arrange and re member)


....... *aim ...... I am



I am coming back


home



Here lies the answer in
the right words of a left
composition

Tuck some of your wishes
inside the pocket of your jacket
along with a few visions
and
when we meet
you can share your thoughts
over a glass of me
at the bar -- of in/tro/duc/tion

There is a Tea Room
that was
dedicated to your
pseudo (name) sake and
I'd like to visit there...

Painted murals do not
indicate a con spear a see
sold over-the-counter on a
reversed letter - cultural district
~thats historic

... made history -

(re arrange and re member)


Um ............ ELL .........


you

inhale

so

Deep


... then again ...

exhale
while holding me between
your forefinger and thumb

smoke and enjoy~

sweet release ...

Now can you hear
my soul responding


???
