something has got to give

Something has got to give

one of these nights

I will awaken

to a greater truth

I will mirror nature's logic

under the Stars, the Sun,

the Trees, the Clouds,

People and their Pets

Animals and their Traps,

We all are as One

to everyone

To Everyone:

my soul is on fire

my heart is open

pulling to a new place

that's wrapping around you

and expanding within me

my emotional taproots

reaching in each direction

tingling with raw energy

as my reality is embedded into yours

and we are growing upwards now

how long has it been?

how many light years have gone by

since you stepped so easily inside of me

with your smile, a key to every door?

oh tell me, love, aren't we all the dreamer,

conspiring to weave a bed of love from our conceptions

so we may free-fall for eternity, and awaken now,

to the joyful roll of velvet laughter music?

traipsing wildly through skipping avenues,

lurking in the shadows of the Sun,

basking, glowing, and emerging

as children of life's rainbow

(written upon return from Hawai'i, March 2010)

summer in montreal

pretty girls walk by wearing their flats

owing nothing to the days of high heeled torture

summer dresses moving freely in the warm air

all debts to Aphrodite having been paid off

in the creation of their lips

I sit and watch the flux of beauty all around me

I rise to join the fray

although the air may not be all that clean

there's still nothing like a summer in the city
