Stuck

I make the ocean
my lover
your name
is my reason
the cyclic
beat of our heart
swelling
with strength
and period

i push out
into
and under
you open
my eyes
inside
and when you form
i climb up
and at last
we dance

there is much more
to you
than i see
beyond the beacon mast
and the fire
are brightest days
fiercer storms
and bigger love

i commit my soul
to the only truth
the ocean
my mountain
her eyes twinkling
her face wrinkling

we both know
to be held in
the arms of our land
is older
is more passionate
than all the words
we do not say

to each other

Come Back

find me
go searching after we die
at the sunrise
find me
bury me with gold
and i will kiss you
with my first breath
find me
let not our years end
this time
find me
disobey any rule
that would keep us apart
dance with others
then find me

Eternal and Unconditional

words before fruit
a hug and a headache
her forearm as smooth as slow marble
the fire of azrael
clocks wound up
a beach fused to glass
an unstoppable force
kissing
an immovable object
geoglyphs
my heart eaten
your form prone
slipping under
climbing over
i love the ink
softening and blurring
al bean crying:
"please, just two more hours"
waiting all my life
to see you
one hundred elephants
moving invisible through the trees
milk green depth
the chess game of sanity
standing across the fault line
quail in a daisy dancing field
the winged figure
in the cave
it was'nt all sun bright days for us
sometimes it was curtains of mist
and lightening
filling the tanks
stirring the sediments
the dog barking outside
your window
waiting for a plane
the holiday in Spain
piggy back
across the river
i shutter you away
photograph you in my eye
a love letter from albion
the blue fire on dun i iona
lit with the last match
so perfect in every fault and wrinkle
two men with the same name
two women both of them crying
caramel and birdsong
sonic priests of the virgin
working with a diva
making love with shiva
dressed in white
a walk to the beach
white water i curl under
clasp the silver shiny
look up to see
the boiling blossom
cicada synapse
to watch these two
after the collapse of the weight of the past
now the paths he cut
have curved
into the landscape
now the bodies
she has soothed
have spilled out into the world
and the wind blows sweet
scented desire up
the valley

Somewhere A Long Time Ago A Long Way Away Another Girl Another Planet

I remember You
Your Kisses
The Ocean

Flesh of Heart

heart of fire
warrior sister
plateau passion

why'd you do that?
scupper me or scupper you
broken home but no broken bones
cast adrift and alone
no matter
who i am with
being alone but
hearing angels cry out
for her sweet eyes
classic turns of fate
a pebble in my mouth
of drought

she said
i want to die
surrounded by my children
she said
i want a partner
to protect and provide
for our child and I
its almost too much
to bear
this weight of love
leave it all behind
shall we?
elope into the water
cut the anchor roper
start with nothing
like children
learning to walk
i still and always will love her
but i am never
really there

a usual story

she sang
you always want more
she sang
i don't believe in heaven
i'm taller than god
homeless restless and eternal
so
the victory sign to the troops
two fingers up to the suits

this is only the beginning of the change
shedding my cage
losing the rage

adyu merushi

sorely tested
you've been hurt
so you hurt others
do'nt have an affair
wide awake at three
staring at the ceiling
the mistake
again
hold on
it will happen for you
the peace which you long for
the strength
the honesty
the laughter

have we learnt the lesson yet?
its the way you move me
and the way i'd like
to make you feel

cheetah
deciever
dream stealer
darkness after dawn
fragile hands
dance for me
i cough up anger
cry
you sing for the moon
i sing for the sun
she does not understand this side of me
a view of everything
the left hand path

dead three times
on the operating table
left with a white sheet
over your smashed body
it is only when your mother
comes to sob over you
there is a twitch, a spark
you come back...."Hello"

a cord mended, bound, burnt
this is for you sister
please stay alive
for the struggle
for the power you wield
for the love you make
for the art you make
