THE CLEARING ROAD

The fog

swam across the sky

down

into my ears and mind

for what you said

filled space and time.

Headlights fade

from hill to sky

the question came

   and said goodbye.

The road is long      but now too far

for I am a heart-driven lover that's scarred

your words 

no longer will haunt me.

MY FAVORITE

This is not a poem of my own, instead it is a posting of my favorite artist, Thom Yorke, who is the lead singer in the band Radiohead.  All of his music is so unique and artistic.  The first song that I ever heard from the band was called "House of Cards".  My drawing to this track was partially his eerie voice, partially the minor sounds, and partially the poetic lyrics. Now he's no Cat Stevens when it comes to imagery and ability, instead Yorke is innovative and abstract.  Here are the lyrics to one of their songs.

"House Of Cards"

I don't wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under
Denial, denial

The infrastructure will collapse
From voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband 'good night'

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table,
And get swept under

Denial, denial
Denial, denial

Your ears are burning
Denial, denial
Your ears should be burning
Denial, denial 

FIRST A CHILD

Falling deep into the refracting blue

I stare into the eyes of a photo

Changes form the skin of time

and my eyes will stay brown forever.

NUDE

Drowning room of luring sound
My ears ring silent
Urges pound from piercing light
Fairy-tale arrow brings blinding sight-
You’re a bitch in disguise

With needle in arm, its you I hold dear
I try to erase yet the more you appear
You prey on my soul like the Mantis itself
not knowing 
I even 
exsist


If only I could be who you wanted.
