Day 2 - My More Glamorous LIfe

I sat yesterday down
and said good-bye

farewell, farewell
and may you be well

i've gathered some chocolate
to ease the pain

reflecting backwards
is so inane

I jump
into today

splash and pounce
I seize, I trounce

it's mine
my life
swiftly,
slowly

wholly

Follow me

Follow me
feel me

let my thoughts
match yours

tell me about
the time
the same thing
happened to you

see me
in the light
that sneaks
under your door
trying to catch you
mid-dream

hear me
through

swallow my words
as your own
and spread
them about
like warm sunshine
on an island beach

follow me
follow the sun
and light

if it feels right
follow me

My more glamourous life

Prequel

tomorrow it starts
it always starts tomorrow

today is too soon
i am much too busy
staring at the moon

i hope that i
come out of my room
emerge from the gloom,
encapsulating doom

turn out bright
a deepening light
shadowing a dark
flavorless mark

my more glamorous self
turns doom into life
runs from the past
wielding a knife

to cut through
old pages
that date the ages
run through the forest
in fits and rages

escapes disaster
becomes the master

the more glamorous master
of this glittery life

all you need is a sparkle
to shine

Where?

Do you know
where to go?
out which door
up to floor 4

through the trampoline room
next to the large, grey elephant

through the entrance marked enter

you'll find me there
sitting next to a circus monkey
that laughs mercilessly
all the time
just at your expense

Up

soon soon
i will land

heart in the sky
near your hand

soon soon
I will land

your breath on my pillow
as we talk on the moon

I will land
soon soon

in a parachute
atop all of the sand

sharing air secrets
so big and grand

soon soon
I will land

head on my pillow
as we sleep

forever you're mine
mine to keep

Tell me

tell  me
if i went to you
forlorn, teary
all over blue

what would you do?

if the skies ran deep
and sorrow far
would you talk to me
in your car?

driving to the river,
sea, or shore

talk to me, talk to me
talk to me more

where the water washes
woes in waves
and all the kids
are out at raves

we waltz on the beach
into the night
talk till the sun
turns everything right

The end of the beginning

clearer perception
ends the deception

of self destruction
and body corruption

the body, a construction
of one's past

carefully determined
to last and last

bent on survival
mile after mile

footsteps fall back
and forward march

mind as clean
as shirt starched

ready to be inked
with indelible love

thinking linked
with those above

when the goddess arrives
you know you're alive
