Dissolution...
Today the moon crashed into the sun
While I was off visiting neverland
The earth's rotation was disrupted
Causing my dreams to be dislodged
Spreading matter out into the universe
Where bright stars faded to black
Beneath jagged edged thoughts
That cut tension into my mind
Leaving a trail of dissolution
For me to meander down barefoot
Because somewhere I lost my shoes
While putting the earth back together
Piece by discombobulated piece
That fell from visions in my mind

Errant Breeze...
An errant breeze
Blows between us
I head north
You head south

High Heel Dreams...
Trying too hard to look like the current cover of Teen Vogue
Kate primped and preened until she was a picture of perfection
For she was about to go out on her first date
With a guy named John she has a crush on
After applying her lipstick, she became bored
Her mind became vacant as vanity took over
"Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?"
"Why me of course!" even though she was unsure
Finally a horn honked outside her window
She intuitively knew it must be him
Grabbing her Gucci bag, she rushed to the front door
For it matched perfectly with her
new Manolo Blahniks
Outside she stepped, finally seeing the light of day
Ready to impress with her head to toe dress
Suddenly the sun blinded her throwing her off balance
Her adolescent high heel dreams came to an embarrasing halt
Her bubblegum pink lips kissed the cold sidewalk below
Nonchalant passerbys stared listlessly at their watches
Before she could get up and compose herself
A crow nested in her aqua net beehive do
As if that weren't enough, the wind played peek-a-boo with her mini-skirt
Giving juvenile jollies to the neighborhood peeping toms
Silently she laid there in a pool of humiliation
As akward moments seemed to pass into muted hours
Needless to say good ole Johnny boy sat there
dumbfounded
His hands nervously gripping the wheel before pulling away
Driving quickly away he never looked back not even for her
The girl that he liked but apparently not more than his pride

Hot Tin Roof...
Inside her utterly animated mind
Lively emotions dance precariously
Like a black cat on a hot tin roof
As she walks through fields of bitterness
Tightly holding onto ambiguous thoughts
That may touch on his cloaked sensitivities
Sacrosanctities he keeps secretly hidden
Beneath his revered drinking jacket
While keeping time with Jack, Jim and Johnnie
Who console his wounded manly pride
As they slide down his parched throat
Keeping him from withering away at the seams
So she keeps her secret animosities well hidden
Underneath her pink parasol of silence
As she sullenly sits on a bench of regrets
Under a tender handful of weeping willows
That delicately sway God's given truth
In misbegotten words blowing her way
Where she ponders how to speak thoughts
In a charming southernly womanly way
So as not to harm his all too manly pride

I Want...
I want to call you
But my dialing finger
Is caught in webs of confusion
I want to touch you
But my hands are bound
By ropes of lubricious mistrust
I want to see you
But my eyes are blinded
By views of moral suspicion
I want to love you
But my emotions are bound
By thoughts of misplaced distrust
I want to feel you
But my body is mired
By needs of lascivious deviation

Morphic High...
Tip breaks through
Needle swims in vein
Elation ecstatically spreads
Moments like hours pass
Mind becomess invisible
Disappears into euphoric mist
Reality sweetly obscured
By rapturous phantasms
Pain momentarily crushed
Beneath a morphic high

Pink Plastic Skies...
You straitjacket dreamers
Pin back their souls
Medicate their minds
With pacifying pills
That come in every color
Of the candy coated rainbow
You don't try to understand
What's really going on
Inside their mosaic minds
Instead clamp electroshock
Around their fragile heads
Turning them into an army of zen
Then you send them back out
Into a less than idyllic world
With carbon copy smiles
Worn upon their placid faces
To live out xeroxed lives
Inside a carbon copied existence
Making you feel proud
For successfully employing
More Kens and Barbies
Out into the world's milieux
Making it a little less blue
Under pink plastic skies

Spaceless Mindless Parasite...
Incessant thoughts encircle my head
A merry go round of nonstop emotions
That I can't seem to step off of
Purposeless I float spaceless
Inside this dispossessed soul
That's devoid of all things living
I'm a mindless wanderer
With no thoughts of my own
Aimless I meander headless
Forever a sponging parasite
Leeching off the circuitry of vitality
Leaving others provisionally lifeless
All my sparkle has vanished
Disappeared into thin dead air
Leaving me faded beyond the pale
---
Umbrella...
Like an umbrella to Amaterasu
Your words utterly insult me
Demean my female sensitivities
Under clouds of guilted emotions
Your mouth vapidly speaks untruths
Twisting thoughts inside my mind
Dulling my state of consciousness
With your bromide tainted ideas
I wish I could cease to exist
So I wouldn't have to listen
As drivel passes over your tongue
Turning astir moments into dead time
Finally I excuse my cloyed self
Exiting with an indolent apology
Before your hubristic presence
Leaves me permanently cracked
