Poetry
This is the general category of fuckery that goes on and on and doesn’t seem interested in stopping.

I wish I could hold you
I wish I could show you how much
How I wish I could be greater than you are millions of times
Hold you in my arms and whisper it’s okay
Encapsulated in the way you do me
If only I could reach you and touch your surface and whisper how I love you
I love you
Of anything in your rays
I feel you humming far away
Rest my head on you
Fall asleep wrapped around you
I would keep you
Safe in space against any to come
Eternity wrapped around you
To keep you safe
My star

I am the beginning of the fires
The angry mountains parched, criers
They scream
Outward billowing the darkness unfolds into the surrounding starving for water
Crash
A coolish rain pouring down
The mountain’s mountainous anger
Flash
The ones that never made it parched left far away
In his whirling winding the clouds unfold
They unfold and gather
I am the precursor
To the fire
As the new and demanded air comes crashing down to the earth it has to meet that angry heat
Cold wind on the face the heat of the oppressive pressing air force back into the above
Billowing off the mountains every which way
The ocean stopped feeding them
The earths’ come to play

Here you go trading in who you’ve been
I watch you change your skin
Where you’re in
Does it fit?
I see you pushing it
This envelope of not you
I hear your song
Where no melody comes
No symphony to sink in no guitar line to ride on
Merely sounds
Oh where oh where has the rock and roll gone?
I see you serving to impress
Switching up your dress
Dressing ready and willing to have the
Times
Thrust on you
Tell us where’s that one hit baby?
Locked inside your theory maybe
Aiming for number one
Instead of making it and then holding your breath
No danger in the formulaic creation do re mi
Except another which sounds like every other
Glimmer of lightless stars
Keep trading in who you’ve been
No one would recognise you now
-
It comes from deep in my head
Up side my head
Still want to see you
Still want to meet you
Still want to help you
Still want to hold you
Silence
It’s not silence when the music is playing softly in the background
How does it keep within?
These feelings never end
I could sit with one thousand Oaks
Would you be nearer then?
You remain my pain
My pain
But I’ll take it knowing you’re living better
Maybe I’ll take it knowing you’re better off
Maybe I’ll just take it and take it
And shake it then shake it
Maybe you’ll find pleasure in the pain
Maybe
I’ll still want you

Finally to be able to call Astoria home again
Eyes closed
No words
No words
A world where everything is how I left it
Where I can recognise each sound
Sliding about on notes and beats
Standing among the whispers that are my own
It’s mine
Asked for permission and silence tore it apart
Yet here is an answer that screams from my heart
This is the place I can call home
Safely tucked into each piece
Until it’s gone
-
I’m waiting for him to hit it
I’ve turned the other cheek
Knowing it is merely an invitation to be
Taken advantage of again
Ready and willing I know he’ll do it again
Aware I’m very stuck until I can find a way out
When every one else’s answer is clear
I turn to you and turn the cheek
Because it’s what you would do
