LIVING IS FOR THOSE

And when did you forget
living is for those
that trust feelings

      and shed a tear or two
      the fields are dry
      and the crows cry

     scare be that heart
           a husk bleached bone
      one never owned

     it is the end of winter
     and I fear your Spring
     more than late in coming

CRY

I CRY —
not for the dead
for they have lived
Not for the living
for they will die
— having lived
I cry for nature
for it must contend
with those that ruin
and plunder its vast
beauty

THE LAW OF LOVE

WHEN I was just a boy
I learned the law of love
the truth sat beside me
and it burned inside

Listen up and understand
it said to me if you can
Love is not a right
what you give
is what you receive

So many years passed
and I still hold true
to the words spoken to me
and live the law of love

I am only a man
just blood and flesh
but await my time
to find such love

I live not for life
but to find the woman
who will give me love
only then will heaven sing

SISTER

SISTER who did this to you?
What I am is less than zero
Sister give me his name
I am just a ghost in flesh
Sister stay focused with me
What’s that saying about life?
Life, and Death, and Giants [Dickinson]
I pray for you and me
and what does that say about us all?
I don’t care about everyone else
I just want to be me
I want to tear apart his face
and take back the jewel of my heart
Sometimes I want to rip out his throat
Just to make him as vulnerable as me
Do you hear what I am saying daddy?
What does that say about me…

Crazy is not such a bad thing

it grabs people’s attention

and brings them back to reality
