~there is no recipe for love~
~when it starts & what it does~
~unique & specifically wonderful~
~it creates a glow within~
~that reaches out to transcend our being~
~we may see through the eyes of another what it means to possess…~
~a window & chalice & key~
~if we had a window~
~we could tie ribbons in the trees~
~hang a crystal mobile in its frame~
~enjoy a prism of colors~
~each & every time it rained~
~if we had a chalice~
~we could sip from it each night~
~fingertips meeting to touch~
~sharing the blood of our love~
~& daring to love too much~
~if we had a door with a key~
~we could lock away our sorrows~
~begin again & learn to be~
~lovers and friends as we were~
~if we had a window & chalice & key~

~The Hundred Bites~
~VIII~
~an old man~
~back against a tree~
~forgets his dreams in the shade~
~sidesteps into memories~
~sees clearly what was not~
~refuses to question what was~
~blushes when his thoughts turn to her~
~his leather paper-thin skin~
~red in the autumn~
~come winter his life~
~finally terribly alone~
~& none the worse for it~
~he recalls the twisted angles~
~primal howls~
~language of his birth~
~that it was she he learned to forget~
~his now & only found~
~VIII. Kisses/Mystery Forever~
~I am not about to look at your photograph~
~you are not an image died yet~
~I sense a ringing of word~
~ingots piled high in our brain~
~a pendulum of centuries pealing~
~against our skulls until we are curiously aroused~
~there are those who consider mystery ~
~an only true for ever~
~certain knowledge of this implied~
~& tied to the tongues of dead heroes~
~thank you; I would kiss your flaws rather~
~make mud on the dirt of your skin~

~Watercolor Mirror~
~delicate & impassioned~
~trees in the ocean forest~
~sway madly in the water wind~
~long for a taste of the moon~
~fin winged creatures fly~
~perform aqua aerobatics~
~cling to a singular darting motion~
~clouds in a liquid sky~
~some deep & forgiven~
~dwell in a land of lesser angels~
~whose sin was eyes~
~& sea the less~
~this nature of lottery~
~its thin needle of faith~
~rewards the aggressor~
~in a tangle-web of numbers~
~the march of the heavens~
~pulls hair from all trees~
~excites an ebb & flow of blood~
~in a sweep of timeless tide~

~What You Do~
There’s a lion asleep
in the bottom of the well
his secrets died with him
that’s the story they tell
There’s a lone one watching
yeah, the trees have eyes
I confess that
it comes as no surprise
Don’t tell me
don’t tell me
don’t tell me
what you do
We been talkin’ all night
making love at dawn
I been voodoo trippin’
you are the drug I’m on
I almost made it
past your lies
but the truth between them
made the lion die
Don’t tell me
don’t tell me
don’t tell me
what you do
You hear the lonely lonely
it’s the voice, they say
its echo of madness
chase the moon away
yeah, the lonely hearts
at the wishing well
toss in a penny
on the road to hell
Don’t tell me
don’t tell me
don’t tell me
what you do
