[Untitled]

Look here, I mean here
there's you and your shadow
there's light and no sugar
you can't blame me for having your best interest
at heart
but, how can you be sure
monsters don't have lead behind their sternum
surtout the kind of monsters you like
i am a man trying to love a woman
there's another man on the other face of the map she wants
i am not that man, déjà vu
a dread within a dream within a drink
this should be the last one down my system
home is waiting
at least read my eye movement, Morse code
pay-per-view, the foxy tone.
you here implies you, unlike in my book of tropes
'cause come tomorrow, i'll find you and i'll love you.

Happiness

Ah, happiness, that elusive state
i surf cyberspace but I cannot locate
i put up huts, thatched of smiles and style
the lady i saw this morning
perched on the far edge of her mind
swallowing life around and getting swallowed back
she got me thinking, of thinking and meditating
of life and its meaning
'i must not fear', the first line in my journal quotes Frank Herbert
i must not fear, huh! sure, death is not scary
i'll tell you what is scary if you will not get scared
i'll drown my worries if you will stay overnight.
now that i have your attention dear, tell me, what makes you happy?
my occult dream told me i could be loved too
but dreamland is way tricky and sure without mirrors
my half-lover needs a star out of Orion
when they are slipping away, they get very close
hearts touching, minds groping for a way out
my boss needs my money, a relapse in despair
my beloved, she knows me better than i know myself
now, that is scary, my friend. she can play me on her accordion
she can make me sing or whine, she can make me love like a runaway lover
she can bend me in folds to fit in her leaking jeans
my hometown has had enough of me, and some extra to give away
my deathbed hasn't seen me since this morning, and that is scary too.
