for
your

the
heart
thanks
you
Mulholland Drive
why the night sleeps
we’re home now let me help you with your tux
you looked so handsome tall dark sultry and mysterious
your eyes the color of the deepest wines
the coolness of your breath on my face
as i danced for you in our secret field
you showed me your daughters
the stars and their cousin moon
and in your arms i fell unto the cool wet grass
and i confessed my fondest wishes
and then we both kissed while greeting the sun
who came with her lover
i remember the sun and i giggling
it must have been about how tired you looked
sleep well my love on
while i go clean your suit
and polish your shoes
so we can go dancing
all over again
to L. Cohen
Leonard fly with me
beyond the gray skies above
with our torn blue coats
your voice coursing through my heart
let’s soar beyond the wire
Ananias of the West (then came Saul) {i}
stumbling across your
river you catch me
in the shores of your
gentle heart and i weep
mercy does not dawn for
my heart walking across
the earth like a gypsy
flees the holy spirit for
her sins calm is a blessing
that i did not inherit
the gods have no such
plans for me
