it's about time

can I be wrong?

maybe this is a conversation

stretching text across every silence

listening to every restless turn of meaning

but the moon is gone now

and the clouds are not as warm as to hold as I dreamed they might be

I tried to tell you, I would lie to save you

pushing the tides back against your peeling flesh

with every word I knew

with the look in my eyes

with the beat of my heart 

as I set my soul on fire 

and dance with my arms wrapped around deaths hollow shoulders

that I feel right now 

how much this is. 

The best seats in heaven

One look at the night sky
                             at all that light
                          scattered across spaces
              bigger than you can begin to imagine
   And I Believe.
                         I believe there is a God,
                                            he has a plan,
                                               and it is beautiful,
                                                           and this is it.

Odd Cowgirls get the blues

but we also get the oranges, the greens the pinks and.., you get the idea no?
Ready to jump on the rainbows back
tuck it under our belts and ride it all out
words like hoofbeats kicking dust in our eyes
because we don't want to be like those other girls
denying the war we all feel.
leave the counting for the sleepers, this is frontier here,
Why don't we grow up?
it's hard to come down from the sway of the elephants back underneath us.
              when do cowboys become cowmen?

Even Cowgirls

Grabbing the bull by both horns
everything you want and exactly what you don't
wrapped up together, skin tight in a tantalizing temptation of you.
Excited by the smell of fear, if the rumours are true
if the cow could jump over the moon, just as she slips over our horizen .
 maybe it's bull, but jump on board
and ride it or let it ride you.

Abhaya

The Goddess takes my face in her hands
And tenderly turns me back, head on
into the wind.

"You don't have to worry about the weather" she whispers,
        placing the beating heart of life into my own two hands
             "or anything
             else
                for that matter".
