Time Bomb




You’re amazing sitting here,
you frozen time bomb.
Slick with summer niceties,
and lemon delight.
You make my head spin in circles,
screamin’ to the blue sky,
so loud it shatters into a thousand and one
broken pieces of color,
like a prism breaks simple white light.  

I’ll be your death angel
if you'll be my sand man.
And with one pinch of blood sand
I will be morphed into a new creature,
breaking out of my chrysalis.
Reach out,
reach up.
I face you opened mouth,
tongue wagging wild.
Taste of pure beauty.
Matted hair on my face,
deep break-breathing.

I feel your form molded into mind,
head to chest, and
I know you can feel my irregular heart beat,
thumping like wild horses into a battle
of no hope.

You’re my ecstasy.
Give me more, pump
my blood full of your shining irreplaceable light.
And a cage of swords
will not stop me from
breaking through,
breaking out,
breaking up.
And my voice can
shatter that of your imprisoned,
frozen cell of a time bomb.


A sound so pure
it stings the ears of every creature,
as your cosmic prison shatters
and the laughing white birds fly
in a flock mirroring the sound.
Breathing deep into a cavern of unruly blackness
I wait to hear the ropes of your muscles move.
Reach out,
reach up,
reach through
the light to
a different type of song.
