My good friend knew someone
way back in the day
who had a boyfriend
with aids
but that was
more than
some 20 years ago
It's better now
It's not a problem
anymore
We all know better now
nobody gets it
anymore

And Gaia Shudders
but nobody cares
The gates open, a shallow creak
entrance granted into dark.
to the doors, mason pavement
overgrown in deceptive beauty.
Banished from sun
to windowless extravagance
final glimpse of old
then into the castle, onto solitude
Captivity in desires fulfilled
palisades disquise hollow joy
slowly, visions of past recede
reality turns to dust
dreams become perverse thoughts
sadistic pleasures come to fruition
internal pain brought physicality
mental scars mutilate the flesh
sanity flows away in shed blood
twisted wishes transform the world
trapped behind prison walls
built by every of the
Granted Wishes
Glossy gray glass
perferates colored beauty
into dreary reality
of place meaning
Clouds loom above
Blocking the eastern sun
oldest family's door
of names
entombed silence
cries out
louder than any voice
the door that opens
through the path of sarrows
closes in
nameless, forgotten peace
peace that reminds
looming clouds do recede
frozen time does move on
beauty, will...come.....again
I remember
The bird calls
from foresty green
I remember
from across time.... and space
The place of Green growth
Far across the
cold dead of white
I remember
voices, voices, voices
Demanding commanding
Voices voices voices
speaking words i cant hear
showing me everything i fear
actions preemted
Ideas distorted
voices in my head
telling me: go be dead
voices voices
Silence
Girl
A ship in a bottle,
lost without
somebody else.
Waiting for
the sailor,
the broken glass.
Cant take my chances,
take my chances,
in the wind,
on the sea.
without my sailor.
Boy
Old habits,
Die so
hard.
Be the hero,
Save the world.
Never show
How much your scared,
even when
your all alone.
Hold your own,
Never stand aside.
Staying true
right to
the very end.
both
I'm tired of being
what they want of me.
Why cant I be my ownself?
Girl
I wanna
take charge,
and be the boss.
I want to
wear a suit,
and not get
funny looks.
I want the GI joes,
and still have my barbie dolls.
Boy
Soccer and sports
just aint my thing.
Why cant I
Sing and dance
Not be afraid
to cry, or shine,
to show my love.
I wanna be
The tender one too.
Both
Im not this someone else
Nor do I want to be.
