Colors
Each design seemed of mirrors
Sliced thin to string
And woven thread-like
Into the fabric
Of her blood blue jeans
If I concentrated hard enough
I could truly
See myself in her pants
Silk blouse –
The color of
A six winged angel’s
Lust –
Hung loosely
About her left shoulder,
Line slanting
Tightening about her chest
Before disappearing
Underneath her right
Underarm
She took a step
In those glass heels
And then another
Scraping scratching
Breaking again and again
Something inside of me
She walked like
The moon sings
Body shaped
Like a black hole’s
Orgasm
As if she knew, she smiled
I could imagine Lucifer smiled
Exactly like that
As he bowed before his lord
Knowing what was to come
A smile that
Preludes the coming war
For my soul
Wanting to conquer
And claim Heaven
Yet falling and
Falling into her
Finding Hell
Truly –
There is no
Place like home
She laughed
As if she
Read my thoughts
Sounding like
An alien rainbow
Rising water
Not of this world
Forming clouds these skies
Have never seen
Spectrum reflected
By unfamiliar sun
Neither beautiful nor ugly
Exotic. Enticing, at the same time,
Frightening
Genuine too
As that smile is reflected
In those eyes
The color of a desert’s disdain
For moisture
Yet I drown
Hair the length
Of a hot summer night
The color fading
From a midnight’s chill
At the roots
To a dictator’s will
At the tips
She calls to me
With the voice of a thousand gods
Raping a thousand virgins
Messiahs
Born on her tongue
Saliva made of prophesy
Vocal chords driving destiny
Between lips the same color as forever
And just as lush
For better or for worse
No telling which
As my hand touches skin
The hue of a million desires
I die
In a truly Elizabethan sense
Oh the colors…

Imagine All The People
Seriously. Let us imagine, for just a minute, that we were a species. A race. The human race
Let us imagine that with this recognition, we are no longer other things
No longer colors, and no longer preferences or sexual orientations
No longer this club or that activity. This party or that affiliation
Yes. Let us pretend that we are all people. One race. The human race
Well, what do you suppose would be possible then?
Imagine if we pooled our collective knowledge. Scientists, theorists, creators and artists all across the world
Sharing information and ideas
What do you think we could accomplish?
What if large corporations and military interests did not buy up all of our greatest minds
And turn them to greed and destruction
What if we Let their knowledge and observations run free
What could we build? Together as one race? The human race
Do you believe that we have the resources and technologies to feed the world
Yes, the world
Do you believe that we could provide cures for diseases that have been killing us off for decades
Or that all of the factors that create a large volume of crime and violence can be completely eliminated
By eliminating their root causes – hunger, poverty, lack of education etc
The truth is, we can do all of that. Right now, this day
It’s possible – don’t believe that it isn’t
I believe in unity
I truly believe that we cannot move forward in any significant way as a people
Unless we start to see ourselves as one people
We can be individuals, we can have groups
But we can be individuals that work together
Groups that form only for the greater good of all
Things could be so different, for everyone
You
Me
Us
One person can do much, but when U-n-I verse…
All things become possible
Think about it
