Illusion
Wrapped up in
A powder puff ball
I see the blur
And it makes no sense
At once flying
And yet
Underwater
So small and
Yet enormous
It sings
Without a tune
And words lost
Somewhere along the wind
Only to be heard
In the faintest of echoes
In ears that cannot hear
And its eyes
They are like lights
That strobe through
The night
In search of
Something to spotlight
The latest sensation
The latest person
That nobody really
Wants to know
And yet they know
All too well
For they indeed
Made this person
A shimmering star
Someone to place
Way high upon a pedestal
So that their nose
Can look keenly down at us all
And remind us of all our foibles
As is we really needed to know
Well know this
That the wind
Doesn’t judge quite so harshly, sister
And it can blow you down
Just as easily as any of us little ones
Only thing is…you have longer to fall
And you would make
A much flatter pancake
But that’s okay because
We love pancakes
Smothered in buttery syrup
With some nice cold juice to go with them
Orange grape apple
Or maybe some piping hot coffee
To wake your sorry ass up
And put you on alert
That it is indeed morning
And indeed another day
So you best to be getting your shit together
With your battle armor on
And your sword in check
And be ready to draw blood
Because there’s always blood
In the movies
With heroes and villains
Carefully colored well within the lines
With a nice fresh Crayola
Perhaps if it’s really pretty
Mom will put it
On the refrigerator door
For all to consume
Safely and happily
Without fear of
Actually being nourished
In any real sort of way
Because who really wants that
Because candy is so much better
Especially when fluffed up
Into nice big pink cotton balls
That taste like a cloud from heaven
So much for the real life
Leave me to the illusion.

Sex?
Sex?
Maybe
Oh…with you?
I need a drink
Maybe five or six
Yes…and then we can talk
So like…how are you doing?
I am fine…just a tad tipsy…
Don’t you look yummy in that there suit?
I could just gobble you up there, honey…
Can I remove your pants with my teeth?
I wonder what’s way down in here?
Shall I give it a big honk?
You’re looking handsome now
And I feel dizzy
So lightheaded
May pass out
Bye bye
Sucks!

You Get Me
I’m not easily wanted
I’m not that easily got
I’m not good at pretending
I’m something that I’m just not
I’m not good at relating
No I don’t say quite a lot
But, boy, if you would have me
Damn sure would give it a shot!
The countless conversations
Into the hours of the night
Such grand illuminations
When I’m letting in your light
Something deep down it tells me
My God you just feel so right
Amazed by your sensations
Oh you burn in me so bright!
Our words all blend together
On a canvas broad and wide
Many colors revealing
All these feelings once inside
No need to build the walls up
No need to run and then hide
Just grab on tight onto you
And enjoy this thrilling ride!
To say that I am smitten
May sound a bit quaint and old
But when your heart does touch me
It makes me so young and bold
We’re like some new found heroes
From those tales so often told
We carve our dreams from silver
And then dust them off with gold!
Eyes closed I dream upon you
And those inhibitions fade
I know nothing’s a sure thing
But I think we’ve got it made
For one like you is priceless
No not for sale or for trade
You’re tattooed in my soul now
And those things they never fade!
I’m not that easily got
I’m not good at pretending
I’m something that I’m just not
I’m not good at relating

Fearless
You dive down in
Deep in the hole
You have no fear
You’re in control
You know the act
You know the role
You have spirit
You have the soul
Splash into blue
All wet and cool
Live adventure
By your own rule
Tackle demons
You are no fool
Here you do teach
This is your school
Then you leap up
Into cold air
Fly like a bird
Haven’t a care
Soaring through life
Without despair
You have it all
Life’s just not fair
I watch you here
Oh I’m in awe
You bounce and bounce
Never do fall
Superhero
To save us all
If in peril
You I will call
Fearless you are
In your brave flight
You fight our woes
Back through the night
Then fill us up
With sheer delight
Call you hero?
Think I just might!
