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
