Nitrous Oxide Poems

All ocean, cellophane and peace

the worst that could happen

is not enough

to break my clutch

on the shiny new

hope can't outlast dreams

the worst that could happen

the clam won't bake

my shoe won't shine

the cat has warts

and the Blessed Virgin Mary was just raped

burning in the midnight oil

the moon won't glow

my milk won't shakethe heart just aches

and the air just got sucked out of the sky

the world is...

All ocean, cellophane and peace



One Hurt Girl

one hurt girl

crying quietly

in the night

on shoulders too small

to hold the load

beneath melting lights

one hurt girl

lately too scared

to unfold the truth

her attitude defiant

I'd call on the cell

she'd answer from a private hell

one hurt girl

thinks feeling bad

is a natural right

she calls daily

to numerate new bruises

that fulfill some debt

one hurt girl

given to all

she keeps the silence

we answer in kind

turn from the pain

avoid her scene of the crime



knock yourself out

standing alone

as stone

my wind warms me

my sun guides me

to a flicker of flame

that ignites a mountain

that bellows at the sky

postscript

the disease that brought us here

to a nothingness that matters most of all

there is but one consciousness

wrappped around in blessedness

rambling

to linger in the dappled light

on this morning of bright retreat

taking breaths that fuel the fire

in seclusion with the night

marking time that bides and tiesa season of longing for forest green

of damsels in distress

a fear of kindness being spent

withhout hope of reward



no vision is required

or dreams of castles

sun and moon together unite

the spray of light

reflected with somber tones

shadows dance with ivory calm

some conscious thought

evoked oneness without ego

all in one and one in all

The Obvious

standing on the earth

washing clothes

piloting the ramjet home

securing a future

remote from a planet

that lies in the wake

of a sea of troubles

Soul Survivor

the hidden lonelinesshas broken open from the inside

not saying that I could

I refuse to define causality

the Big Bang may be a mistake



perhaps corrected by an observer

not yet born

I can wait for revelation

I came from nothingand to nothing I will go

the in between is as much a part of me

as the golden suns are around

it seems strange that we hide

in the interior of - can it be?

expanding space

- where could it be going?that it hasn't already been

I like that we do not know

the sorrow filled mysteries

of time

- was it destiny?

that begat fate

the lotus eating masters

have all ascended

leaving starry-eyed visitors

in this earthly plane

- why is the air so kind?

the foot steps are buried deep

so many have traveled

the exact same path- can the sky?

be any bluer

so much depends

on all the equations



setting straight

the majesty

I only hope

the Mathematicianscan recall

that Truth is Beauty

and Beauty Truth

Just A Little Song

Just trying to say

you are the way

to believe in the power

when I receive your flower

Easy to stay clean

you are the dream

that comes to life

to be the perfect wife

I'm just saying

you are the saving

grace that can cure

every pain for sure

Just a little song

you are the longand short of everything

that love can bring



Falling Into Autumn

she whispers

she listens

I love her naturethat calls as sirens do

Autumn Falls

I am not

the same soft twisty girl I used to be

everything changesand changes again

I'll be back

you'll be on pins and needles

with anticipation

Next in line

September rolls and tumbles

October is here and now

to face the music

that bends the ear

beached as whales

who sing their final dirge

open from the sea

sequestered in the infinite

If I were a girl

I'd let your smitten eyes

follow me around

you could whirl me



through in through

under a full light moon

If I were a girl

I'd dance every nightyou could watch me spin

and catch me

when the dizziness

became too much

If I were a girl

I'd wish you were a girl too

We'd laugh at the boyswith their foolish grins

and their rough hewed hands

that they couldn't keep to themselves

If we were girls

we might even wish

we were boys

we'd scream with delight

at such a silly thought

and stay forever beautiful girls

Remember Dreams

it's not even closefiction reveals more truth

than non-fiction

why should it be hidden?

the silicone dream awakes



deep blue

sad

can't wait for the sunshine state

flying over rooftopsnot for escape

fun

gravity sends shivers to the bone
