Silent Bonds

part one

I make conscious choices.
It's the one area of
my life I control.

I rather like the chill
breaking through the
morning sun.
Quiet day;
soft singing
Shawn Colvin,

~"Naked as a rose
Everything exposed
But not quite
This is your new thing now
Cards out on the table
A genius with no label
But not quite, not quite"~

There is an unspoken
code; silent bond
I form with certain
entity's; enigma.
Sweet life.

Between common
grounds, I am home.

~"This is your new thing now
And it looks so good in print
Just a poet and her pimps
But not quite"~

part two

I used to think she
was more like me.
It's hard to remember
now, pre~January 1998.
The slow regression;
already on a broken path.

She told me recently
as she was hanging up,
"You're not so different
than me"
I didn't question the thought.
Random grasping for
alignment with sameness;
saneness.
I hear desperate cries
under blame and resignation.
She is lost,
reverted back to 1969
in her mind, racing, chasing
dreams with faded skin.

~"I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
Light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She's out there on her own and she's alright"~

part three

I say a silent prayer,
make the sign of the cross
"In the name of The Father,
The Son and The Holy Ghost"
I pray for Special Angels
to come; ride shotgun
with loved ones.

I know he will be okay
whatever happens
this journey to help
others.
"love you always";
latest sign of his cross,
accompanying peace.

We two aligned with some
familiar stars, crippled with
human mania.
Unnamed focus for a day.

Two out of three
has always been
better than pretty good.
I remain; steeped in loyalty.

~"You know I wasn't born I was spat out at a wall
And nobody even knew my name
The sun hatched me out, cradle and all
On the corner of First and Insane

All this damage is runnin' loose in your head
And it really matters to me

Oh, no, baby don't go
Walkin' down Suicide Alley"~

part four

There is none better.
No higher feeling
I know, this mutual
massage of words
through bells.
Exchange of honesty,
open with care
and bright tones
leave the canvas
clear for future foundation.

He leaves me in smiles,
no matter the phase
of the moon.
Breaks through
a barrage of fluid
motion; brings me
to a center
I need.

~"nothing in particular
and everything in between

I'll be the one to fall
Waiting for you to look up at me

Oh I love you the most
Always giving up the ghost
In your own private conversation
You're a sweet mystery
And there's nothing in between"~
