Eyes  open-If  angst  is  crap,  then  I  have,
External,Unfortunately,
Physical,A  crap  side  of  me.
Reality  shapes....It's  there,
Emotion.Human,
Eyes  closed-Work  with  it,
Inverted;May  not  ever  go  away,
A  disguiseBut  it  will  never  consume
As  emotionThe  beauty  you  see.
Shapes  a  reality....Which  is  the  point
Somewhere  else,Yet  with  her,  more  is  the  word,
But  notMore  than  a  fantasy,
Elsewhere.More  than  an  intellectual  game.
Alone  butIf  she  so  completely  hates  this,
Not  tearingShe  should  walk  away,
Out  my  hair....Under  tiredness
As  subtle  shadesStress

Slick  shadows....I  crack
Shed  the  straight  jacketMood  nose-dives
And  leap  free.Light  sucked  out  of  my  soul.

That  belongsPerhaps  leaving  is  best.
To  a  timeOne  Night  Stand
That  knowsI  woke  that  morning  with  her,
No  day.The  hazy  fascination  with  her  soul,
Gut  wrenching  hellSeemed  to  belong  in  another  realm.
Gut  wrenching  hellThe  carnal  actuality  of  the  situation,
Stomach  churningLike  a  sirocco  scorched  my  mind,
Like  a  church  bellThe  hot  sand it carried covered our bodies,
Crazily  messed  brainGiving a warmth that painfully, yet
fundamentally,
Ideas  jangling
Belonged  with  the  dirt  on  the  ground.
Like  a  possessed  bunch  of  keys
Like  a  desert  flower  wilting  in the sun,
Sick  sick  senses
Longing  for  the  sensuous  rain,
Depraved  and  concave
Wilts  and  dies  on  it's  own,
Prone  and  prostrate
Leaving  little  but  a  sad  corpse,
All  tenses  rave  and  frustrate
As  evidence  of  its  desire  and  hope.
Ego  marooned  and  becalmed
And  I,  as  I  luxuriate  in delicious rain,
On  the  fringe  of  a  mendacious  storm
Know  that  the  drought.
Your  rules  have  shattered  any  norm
Is  but  an  hour  away.
Raw  sensation  sensuously  balmed
I  have  no  need  of  her,  indeed,
In  your  bliss.
Such  a  thought  terrifies  my  very  being,
You  slowly  take over with a hiss hiss hiss.
Yet  in  these  precious  minutes  of luxury,
You  said
Touching  her  eyes  with  mine,
You  said,  "Have  I  done  something wrong?"
Running  my  hands  across  her  chest,
"No"
Dancing  in  its  purest  form,
We  are  just  ordinary  people
Reaching  out  across  the  void  existence.
In  a  crazy  circumstance
And  having  the  void  kiss  me  back.
With  a  need  to  circumspect
If  that's  all  she  is,
No  need,  as  of  yet,
A refection of the void, right here right
For  any  mutual  respectnow,
Who  knows......perchance...The  flower  will  die,  its  soul galvanised
One  day  our  lives  may  meet  properlyTo  rise  again  in  divine  precipitation.
And  then  we  may  dissectBut  the  thought  that's  dying  right  now,
These  petty,  negative  feelingsIs  that  I  long  to  Dance  with  her soul,
And  superimpose  positive  healings;And  have  her  soul  kiss  me  back.
