Blegh

take a step, recognize...
the hot coals you're about to tread across.
the fire inside you burns bright
but it's running out of fuel
and the world outside your skin
just keeps burning with an eternal flame

take a step, realize...
sacrifice only pays off when rewards trump penance
temporal utopia,
you're no place to build a fortress.
great minds don't meet on burning bridges
so keep yours great and burn alone.

time erodes what tears don't wash away

time uproots saplings
before they've the courage
to invest in themselves.
grow on, sapling, grow up to the sky
grow on, sapling, grow deep in the earth.

Look at me...

Real life intrudes on so many things.

Pineapple mysteries
mango monstrositites
each and every one of them
fictional

Synonymous synchrony
telephonic telepathy
undressing underpants
welted weimeraners whimper wildly
xeroxing x-rays exists to exonerate ex-convicts
yonder: your younger years
zany zoologists zig and zag.

**

Differentials divide us
even evangelists
find frank friends
grin, gladly giving
hospitality and health

I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

Out-of-Practice Practicing

i haven't decided yet what i'm gonna write here but that's the point i suppose -- to purge all the scum floating on the surface of my brain, to shake the dust off, whatever. today is valentine's day, which excites me because hearts are my favorite colors and sweets are on my list of favorite things. i like the idea of doing something important or meaningful but either nothing of import has happened on this day for me. which is not to say that none of my lovers made an effort, just that none of them made enough of an effort for me to notice. that doesn't mean i'm asking a lot, just asking for the right thing. like some people don't push any of my buttons at all, and some push some pretty nice ones but less and less over the years does he push the ones that i need. and fluff without substance is not enough to sustain me. i guess it was enough for him but there was something missing that grew more and more evident over the years. until i had to leave. blabbit...
