Coming Out

everything reminds me of you
thursday afternoons
emerging from the abyss
of the bowels of folwell
to passing the knoll
where we laughed and
did cartwheels
i wish i believed that
it was me who taught you

sitting at home sipping
my thoughts in a glass
of white wine
wishing you were here
laughing at my words
and seeing right through me
speak your french
and admit your secrets
surprised i hope you meant it

i never meant to hurt you
somehow i fucked it up
everytime i think of you
the more i miss your presence
your thoughts
when i curl up in quilts
i reach out for your hand
to hold me in the night
i want to come out only with you

Untitled #5

can i reach out into the city
stretch through the window
and explore the sky on wings
i would bundle up
just to stay warm
doesn't matter where i go
no one needs to come
just me and the rhythm
that heartbeat
the essence of my life's song
[sing]
it doesn't matter who's watching
i want the city to embrace me
pull me in
surrounded by lights
transcending to enlightenment
[shine]
play me that music
transform my moods
play with emotions
create thoughts
disregard time space flesh
[sway]
i hope this city breeds
others like myself
i needn't be remembered
remarkable
place me inside myself
so i can really dig
isn't that what its all about
discover yourself in life
perfection should be
discovering life in yourself
look past the heartbeat
hum to the song
what does it say to you
[smile]
i cannot contain
this creature beautiful thing
that pushes at my chest
aching to escape
it is not this skin
that holds me in place
it is the fear of freeing this
creature beautiful thing
it will go farther than i can
reach ecstasy and gloat
[smirk]
i need not lie
my creature beautiful thing
exudes beauty in me
that only others can see
maybe its not so bad
that release
for what are tears laughs songs
burst into juicy soil
new with rain
and sprout a release
relief
