I See Your DeflectingI See Your Deflecting by *kamisch42
I See Your Deflecting
I'm hungry,
Hungry -
And what are you?
You're just there watching,
Scowling,
Judging.
Come here to my arms,
They're open,
Come into my heart.
See my life exploding with you in it
Like the stars about to start.
And maybe I'm just naïve,
Hanging,
Dangling
From the lines of lies that you keep dripping –
Why am I so full of compromise?
For you
Atomic SunriseAtomic Sunrise by *kamisch42
Atomic Sunrise
The horizon was a-boil with the pink rising sun:
A bed of gold satin in Helios' wake.
Enjoy the alba, child,
As it portends of things to come,
Things that end,
Things like love.
Remember the world that dazzled?
The world that sung?
But all he could do was say goodbye,
"Shouldn't you?" he cried –
Head in hand,
Soul in pieces
Melting like clouds on gorgeous mornings.
Darling, pull the shades down
The Conversation LeavesThe Conversation Leaves by *kamisch42
The Conversation Leaves
What happens as you fall?
It could be better,
It could be worse –
No one can tell us!
They don't come back,
No one comes back,
But the ground will call unto us all.
And I will turn,
You will turn too.
I hope I do before you do.
To see you pale,
And brown,
And die…
To fall and tumble,
Snap the twig,
Float away to the abyss
A Sad Way to Know This ForestA Sad Way to Know This Forest by *kamisch42
A Sad Way to Know This Forest
Shaggy rings of gold and fire -
Ignite a soul and autumn's peace.
But I just weep,
It's blood and death.
I think of you, think of us -
And oh the days!
When I would hold you close,
Feel your pulse,
Your very life!
And in these trees we'd play -
Innocent sprites of spring's delight.
You still haunt their branches -
Ever
She TriesShe TriesShe Tries by *kamisch42
People ramble, but she can't hear them
When's the last time you forgave yourself?
Sometimes they're helpful,
And you can't stand it
A habit of longing, desire for trust
Where can she find it without caring enough?
Without breaking down
A smile?
Sugarplum tries, but
Sugarplum lies, and
Sugarplum, oh I know she cries,
Child, I've seen you cry before...
It was beautiful,
Watching those tears fall
You were sweet again,
You were so human
When the redwood bends its soul to crawl,
An anomaly
So natural,
Like a miracle,
Just like a dream
Bow down to the ground,
Kowtow
There you go shaking out your leaves,
Always

Frankie & Larry
I'll bring you down, down into darkness
So black and haunting, like a cruel old crow.
You say you need me and I'll believe it
Whether it is, maybe, or isn't so.
I seek the truth,
You keep me honest,
You pull me through.
My soul,
Just a broken, beat up raven's wing,
Too old and worn to fold.
The snow's too cold to mourn,
So far and close -
Hunting for demons,
Fighting back ghosts.
And maybe he just doesn't get -
She'll stand by him,
Even when she can not stand the journey.
For he's persistant in his passions,
A rapturous mind let loose again.
I'll bring the light as we head down this tunnel,
Find a way to
Along the Way Along the WayAlong the Way by *kamisch42
White phantoms, keep dreaming-
There's an eerie voice in the rain;
Black thunder, deamons-
Something is calling out my name.
Follow the dim lights of an ancient road,
It's so old it's forgotten where it goes;
There's a lone wolf crying out to me,
With a hunger sounding way down deep.
Lime GlassSugar, sugar...Lime Glass by *kamisch42
How's it go?
Pass a r o u n d,
The story's told.
SCREAMING, SHOUTING
- Bust a lung -
Have a beer when you are done.
Crush the ice and squeeze the lime,
Another glass makes it all fine.
Something's missing in this life...
Crash! and bash!
- An evil tone -

"Grow to Know"
I didn't want to fight with you,
No reason for the hating.
You were raging anger,
Hiding your kindness.
I was so small and scared -
I got over it.
And I'll forgive you if you let me,
I know both sides -
Alice's Dead GardenAlice, before you sought that white rabbit again,Alice's Dead Garden by *kamisch42
Did you think to say goodnight?
I was trying so hard just to get to know you,
Now I'll never get it right!
I remember it well,
Only a half an hour past noon,
Right after lunch back in my room.
I didn't think you'd leave so soon
Oh, now, you'll never grow old for me,
No you'll never be old to me.
Strawberries and chickens mark
The borders of your garden's love.
Look out for snakes as you go pickin' girl,
And you better keep that there gate shut!
It's never the same when you try it again,
I used to never get enough...
But the hen house is so empty now,
Since then I've never touc

Puzzle Mix
You came with two cats,
And your bird you call Tattoo;
I brought my dog and two cats too.
We're like some strange Brady Bunch tune...
'Cept our kids are furry and wonder around nude.
Your psycho feline likes to beat up on the rest,
Well, no, it's not okay, but hey, we do our best.
Just one of life's many little tests.
(But)
They say that we can't be in love,
You say that you've never known love
And well, my dear, that's rather sad,
But my heart feels you trying, so it's not too bad.
We're pieces of two different puzzles, but we still fit.
Two different puzzles, but we won't quit.
Mine of the moon, your's of a star
Smoke and FogI called you, "Come look out the window," andSmoke and Fog by *kamisch42
You asked, "Why? Baby, whatchu see?"
I told you I see magic bleeding.
You said, "Naw, I don't see a thing." 'Cus
Smoke and fog is all around you,
Smoke and fog curled in your hair.
A dusty morning turns to evening,
The stars shine bright yet you're unaware...
I stayed there staring out the window, and
You seemed genuinely intrigued.
But you never would have believed me if
I said I was watching my dreams. See,
Smoke and fog is all around you,
Smoke and fog clouding your eyes.
I try to tell you but I hate repeating,
Open your heart before it goes blind.
I finally turned from that win

Bubble gum girls singing on TV,
There are plastic people playing on the screen.
I have never seen a real person live out loud,
But they do it in the movies
-emotion in a crowd.
Who are you and you and I?
It's the Queen of England with her own PI.
Do or don't real men cry?
Only if it's for the paying public's eyes.
Celluloid models tell me how to be me,
Robotronic idols that don't eat a thing.
My old friend's friends aren't really there,
Just lifeless things p

It's great to have you 
I've just been in much more of a, "Let's go outside and play with the dog," kind of mood. I blame this gorgeous weather. But summer's coming! That should kill the weather-love for me...the heat will trap me back inside my scruffy bubble of a home and make me seek out alternate forms of entertainment.
