Galactic Love

there once was a time
when our orbits aligned
and I couldn’t help but bask
in your gravity 
as you glided by me
I was naturally attracted
I passed your atmosphere
almost near enough to extract it
grabbing at your mass
with my magnetic wind
trying to absorb it

as we pass my force yearns 
to pull you from your orbit
but of course
your momentum resists
but the reactions in our clouds admit
a tension exists between us 
if we could pull each other in
and make each other spin
just the right way
in a cosmic ballet
I could take you as my moon

on that last pass
I swooned through 
just out of reach
but close enough to feel your pull 
on my trajectory
shifting my inclination

what a celestial sensation
the relation of our
heavenly bodies
coming close to each other
brings 
since that time
we passed by
I tend to find
my space is full of nothing
each minute feels like eternity
as I anticipate the moment we
swing around the same sector
of the galaxy again

Dear Cam-Girl, I Love You

Dear cam-girl 
I love you
and I want you 
to be free
from the frames
that enslave you
  I can see
why you might be 
intimidated by freedom
It’s nothing like anything
else that you’ve seen
so sublime
but also bare 
and unprotected
In the past
you’ve rejected ideas
that were way less weird
than this
but I don’t want you
to be remiss
about it
You’ve got to see
that there can be
a better path for you
to take
That’s why I’ve
gone and tried
to say what I’m saying
to you
While you feel huge
from your personality
being projected
your reality is
being redacted
You’re actions
are reflected
only in the glare
of a lens
instead of in
the eyes of friends


Dear cam-girl
I love you
and I can’t help but ponder
that the stars up above you
are the same stars up above me too
And if we both look up at once
we’ll see the same world together
Whereas now
you and me girl
we think we’re so different
I’m sitting here riffing
on verses
and rehearsing lines
practicing my timing
for perfect execution
just like you do
every time
we talk
you’re so sharp
always on your game
and I’m trying to do the same
but in a different way
just trying hard to play
the role that I’m 
on stage for
More or less
we’re all actors at best
performing for the camera
to give our audience
what they can handle
and if we get the chance
to set an example 
for how we believe
the world should be

Fix

We
who lie here broken
what are we to do
when the line to the fixer 
is too long
or the price is too high
but
start to fix one another

Feral Beast

Well sweetheart, I’m a feral beast
and I’ll tear you apart if you let me
I might be more savage than you had expected
but I promise that you’ll never forget me

I’ll fight off the fears and the shadows
that lurk around the door of your lair
With frenzied embraces and violently
running our fingers through each other’s hair

I’m a feral beast baby, I need you to know
there’s an animal that will not rest
And the mere thought of you makes it beats it’s claws
against it’s cage that is my chest

Call it animal spirit or animal nature
it’s a force that I can’t control
An instinct embedded somewhere ancient
deep within our souls

I’m a feral beast, yet with a single glance
your wish becomes my command
As much of an animal as I might be
there’s only so much I can stand

The War on Us

The war on drugs
Was a war on us
The drugs were the weapons used
To seduce our desires
While they tapped wires
To entrap higher perceptions
A deception to fill up prisons
And eliminate dissidents
With a guilty decision
To dish out blame upon
All to create a front
So there's always a thug
Available as a fall guy
So they don't even have to try
To search for a stool
Because they have a list
Of all of the fools
To which they sell

The wars they wage
This day and age
Encourage hatred for the sake
Of propagating conflicts
So that the wars can
Simply continue to exist
And eliminate any resistance
We shouldn't have to live like this
Being punished if we don't pay
For efforts to create enemies against us
Punished if we resist being taken under
By slanderous propaganda
Punished for thinking
That peace is a possible solution
While all along
They never sought resolution
That would have been stupid
The conflict is far too lucrative

Morning

Oh my Good Lord
You taught me to stand up straight
By making me wait
For You to reveal
Your glory

Thank You for the glow
That You sent so I would know
You were on Your way
Allowing me to prepare
For the radiance of Your arrival

Missing You

All I ever wanted was
to tell you that I love you
but I was scared that
it would scare you away

Now here I am left
with no one to talk to
but I still have
so much left to say
