Marionette

It seems to me 
that when one has
everything that one wants
there’s one small piece
that always remains missing
and this one small
thing while gone unnoticed
is that one small
thing which brings animation
to all the others
for without simply that
we are but marionettes
lacking our precious strings

LoveDoes

Experience boasts
I know
wisdom whispers
you do
as insight
simply waits
desire yearns
for freedom
sex screams
ohh yes
and love
well love
doesn’t ever
do anything
except prove
the others
are wrong

ComesOne

And then just when 
my disappointment turned violent
and anger rained down
a voice said hi
with a child’s innocence
what is your name
and this question led
to more and more
just like the first
leaf of fall becomes
Autumn I think that
I now finally understand
that there always comes
one but only after
there has been a
longer time of none

This’s

I know that 
my whole life
led to this
but what I
didn’t ever know
is that all
of the this’s
that came before
were just as
important as this

Eyes (for James)

I know that 
I have seen
your eyes before
long ago before
so long ago
that I can’t
remember when where
but I know
that if one
thing never changes
though the face
always does across
time the eyes
never ever do
they are the
only way that
the soul sees
