Untitled

The streets are empty
a peaceful calm.
The silence is my love
divine -- my fever
burning to a height.
Soon the day is approaching
when my ash will be sprinkled
the color of smoke,
and be certain dearest,
I shall never return.
My words are your
mocking playground,
My heart your passing
playing inspiration
for singing songs stories.
Know dearest that you
don't know me even if you
think that you do.  You
will never know me.  You
have already spoken thousands
of times and it is clear
that in your taunting teasing
tranquility you have mis-spoken
with every thought to mind to
tongue to ear to eye to hand
to smile.  Your friends are
like the notes of your guitar,
but you have never found
nor heard nor seen nor known,
truly, the song within me.
A thousand whispers can pass,
A thousand pictures can play,
But not a moment will ever
capture a single heart spirit soul
of me.

Go on now, laugh and roll in the ground
Have a ball.  Don't try to mind
read me again - your failure leaves
a trace after trace of disgrace.
