Eating Cupids

 Take me in your arms

Cradle me with your love

The world is becoming our oyster,

Within it there is so much opening,

And here we are creating

A life that is to become the people’s envy,

You are what I desire

You are the life I paint,

I wonder if you heard

The nights I cried to this earth

When I begged the angels

To come into my thoughts

To strip me of this hate

And let love come through my narrow gate,

And yes you found a way

And yes you maneuvered your way,

Finally you make it thru

Past all the darkest subdues

And here we are in heavens heart

Eating cupids

In the midst of Michelangelo’s greatest arts

Hear me oh greatest winds

You have healed the wounds of before

Here you are oh saintly creature

Waking me from my slumbering fall

With thanks and praise

I call only your name,

Away from me,

I hope you never go,

Close to me,

You purse your chest

To never let the fear show

Hear I am awaiting life

For death had come and gone

I felt it chilling in my bones

As it revealed its deadly grin.

Then you came

One day from the east,

Bringing your bag of loving treats

Upon your horse you rode so high

I may have believed you came from the sky,

But there you came

Through the gates of eternal regain,

And I came to you with sticking glue,

In my heart I finally just knew.

If I knew just the way

 If I knew just the way

To tell you in my own way

I took the time to see you

When you were always seeing me

I thought you were invisible

When all you saw was me

You felt me in the morning

And when you feel asleep

I didn’t feel your kisses

When you let them fall on me

But somehow I felt the missing

When my heart lost all the reason

To have love

To hold love

The way you thought of me.

I see you with new eyes

And boy is this the best surprise

That I can actually cry’-

With a beautiful happiness in my eyes

But you are just the change’

That is pushing to change my ways

Into the wonders

And into the great

That you have in your name

If I knew just the way

To tell you in my own way

That you have filled that missing

With all of your perfect visions;

I couldn’t have ever hoped

That a man like you could come into my world

And fill me with a passion,

And blanket me with devotion

To change the way I thought

To change the way I wrote

I see you with new eyes

And boy is this the best surprise

That I can actually cry’-

With a beautiful happiness in my eyes

But you are just the change’

That is pushing to change my ways

Into the wonders

And into the great

That you have in your name

If I knew just the way

To tell you in my own way

I'm wondering just how I deserved

This feeling of flying as free as a bird

Your perfect,

In every way

You’re magnificent in every day

So I fly

With you never leaving my side

I could never ask for a better godly act

Than having you

Than loving you,

Like no other catch

I see you with new eyes

And boy is this the best surprise

That I can actually cry’-

With a beautiful happiness in my eyes

But you are just the change’

That is pushing to change my ways

Into the wonders

And into the great

That you have in your name

If I knew just the way

To tell you in my own way

If I were to stray away

I would beg god to save the day,

To make me see the way

That you hunger me to never be dragged away

So here I am to say

That you are the one that keeps me safe,

With you ill always be

The person that brings magic to our love

I see you with new eyes

And boy is this the best surprise

That I can actually cry’-

With a beautiful happiness in my eyes

But you are just the change’

That is pushing to change my ways

Into the wonders

And into the great

That you have in your name

"Poetry"

Poetry,
You sweet succulent deity
You have searched my name
Calling for me in the darkened night
Taking my hand and luring me to your worldly kingdom
I am alive in your spirit
I have taken plight amongst a life
That is glorious and kind
Here is the self
Wrapped up in realization
It stings with pure innocence
It captures in an ultimate understanding
That keeps riding with the horses
It is here that my peace and--
My solitude resides
I am a human here
With the poetic wise
That tingles me into butterflies
But it is a surreal universe
It is my pot of greater knowledge
And I stir endlessly,
Creating concoctions far beyond my capabilities




Poetry,
As the pen connects to my paper from my mind
I can hear all of you now
The minds of many faceless people and places
There is a cause in my step
There is a reason in my tone
To bring a special light to shine
It is not quite clear
But the shapes,
Sizes
And colours are forming
To its own beat it follows
Unraveling a magnificent unicorn before it
And I feel
For the first time I have been touched by something godly
In the realm of mindful mystery
Something is speaking truer than anything I believe
Here it goes
The voice is persistent
Calling me to destiny’s village
It rewards me with language that is far from my grasp
But it comes with a soulful song
That trickles into peace palaces
I am rewarded with a tranquility of words
That finds me in the day
That talks to me in the night


Poetry,
I can’t forget this curse
This wondrous blessing
For it is reminding me of my path
Without you oh sweet messages
I have no passion pursing within my bones
But you
You have come to taint me with assurance
In these words there is empowerment
No doubt
No uncertainty
Just a will to carry a torch
Just a might to continue a plight
For humanity
For the world
And yet for myself
For new beginnings
For closure
And for a desired purpose
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
Now finally
So subtly
And willingly
I dance in my poetic realm




Poetry,
Speak to me dear friend
Your endless waterfall trickles from my hand
I can’t stop the momentum
Its angelic presence is pushing
Keeping me on pursuit
Why do you speak to me?
I feel unworthy to these words
But they come without notice
They enter with shock
How humble I am with the flow
What honour it is to capture the painting
But here I am
Encapsulated with millions of forming words
They take me into a nesting cocoon
That releases me from restraints
And carry’s me through to a metamorphosis’’
It is as surreal as the galaxy
It is as puzzling as the universe
But it all makes sense
It all paints in unison
A butterfly is born
A god is revisited and re-done
A palace is constructed
A message is molding
This is the home of the poetic myth
The circle of the intuiting sun




Poetry,
I feel a hunger
That drives me to feed for you more
Your warm breath encourages
I am asking you to shed my layers
Peel them to endless goodness
I want to be your guiding scriber
Your candidate of hopeful guidance
This is the gift of spiritual awakening
And I am alive in its tranquil being
Why have you come for me?
Why have you entered into my restless world?
You are everything that fills me with peace
Every angle of my being is entrusted
To write the sincerity of the imperfect world,
To make it whole
To make it empowered to be the beauty of our words
To define it once again
To everything it should,
Must,
And could be
Oh poetry
You true magnificent
You are honoured so less than deserved
But I love you
And I feel you
Greater than the loves of before
I am changing within your eyes
I am transforming through your lips
Speak to me in every tongue,
I am listening
I am waiting,
My dear poetry friend.

Part: 1 Vain Beauty

This world is too vain
I’m going insane,
I want to be beautiful
I want to be pretty
This is world is too vain
I’m going insane
I see you all staring
I see you all glaring
If I wasn’t so pretty
Would you all be so friendly?
This world is too vain
I’m going insane


This world is too vain
Do you even care for my name?
Were living in material
Were living in plastic
I wouldn’t be so fantastic
If I weren’t shiny an plastic
This world is too vain
I’m going insane


I need to keep being beautiful
I need perfectionist eyes
You have painted me so lovely
With your paint brush and tools
But what about them
Who do not have these looks?
The world will throw stones
And cast them to the curb
This world is too vain
This world is too plain
To only see one side
To only see pretty lives
You judge like a villain
You don’t care for the real human
It’s the inside that’s losing
I’m going insane
This world is too vain

Part 2 -> Vain beauty

This world is too vain
So I want to be beautiful
The inside never counts
It is only a figment of imagination
What we hope people to judge
But you are looking at my face
Sizing me up
I see your eyes
That nasty brow
That gazed stare
There’s a ring of jealousy
On your lips,
There’s beauty on me
So you hate
But adore
If I was ugly
You would show me the door
But beauty is everything
To you
To I
So I’d rather be the swan
Than the ugly duckling
Please know my heart is there
But you don’t see it
What you see is me
But what you see can grow old
It can shrivel
It can disappear
But beauties everything
To you
To I
The world is too vain
So I want to be beautiful
I want to be loved

Photographed Stranger

I was everything
You wanted
I was everything
You wanted not
Our eyes met
Only for a second
Before they were gone
Our love was invisible
That’s how fast it happened
You held me like forever
And I believed it to be
I thought it so
I’ve wished you here
But you have never shown
Only when you feel so cold;
We have drifted
Into strangers
That barely even know
Who you are
Who I was
If we ever really were
I’m curious
Of your mind
And if you ever had a heart
You are a ghost
That wonders
Late at night
Into my mind
Into my sight
I try,
I try,
To shut it away
To close all the drapes,
But there is so much here,
Between us,
Within the deepest dark
I feel the space
I feel the presence
And it all grows distant
Day by day
It dwindles
Blowing in the wind;
If I ever love another
The way I did you
I could only wish
He could only wish
That it would be that true

Greater, Better, Wise

Can I escape

Into a serene happiness

That glows brighter than the stars

That shines brighter than the sun

It escapes our grasps

It is too beautiful for this place

So it hides

Far away

Until we are greater,

Better,

Wiser,

Than before

Than yesterday,

Than tomorrow

It needs space

It can never grow here

Because we have not learned

We have not grown to fly

So we stay cemented

Away from what is beautiful

Far from what is gracious

We are metamorphosing

Slowly with the great leading

We are stifled

When the fearful hold control

So the beautiful

It runs

Away from what is failing

Far from what is falling

Until we are greater,

Better,

Wiser,

Than before

Than yesterday,

Than tomorrow

For were starting to learn

We wither into fall

That turns into winter

And here our flowers die

We haven’t found ways

To keep them beautiful

Preserving them in the unwise

So we haven’t passed the test

There’s no indication that were headed for the best

So it must wait

Until we are greater,

Better,

Wiser,

Than before

Than yesterday,

Than tomorrow

Why do we lose the butterflies

The angels

The trees

They sadly miss us

Everything is praying for our success

It lays somewhere deep

Implanted into our memory

Unsure of what can turn it on

But there’s great possibility

To be lovely

To be wonderful

To be beautiful

But we can’t

Until we are greater,

Better,

Wiser,

Than before

Than yesterday,

Than tomorrow
