    #1 Personal Space of a Flower Child

    Finger flowers stretching,
    grasping marshmallow cloud dancers
    and rainbows, twirling simultaneously
    as gravity finds me in grasslands
    of my peaceful circumference,
    a bit of utopia enchants the
    space in my mellow dramatic mind.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    #2 Cosmic

    The moment when two lips graze together
    can you imagine the sound -
    a cluster of stars exploding bit by bit
    crashing into the universe,
    a shattering pulsating, racing -
    vibrating. That's when you know
    perfection has been created.

    #3 There's Room for You

    Interstitial love fills my heart.
    Lumps form in my throat when I see you,
    sand in my mouth, I can not speak;
    tears flow for all is lost,
    my heart has no more space.
    Then the sweetness of your kisses
    permeates this conglomerate -
    cements my adoration

    #4 Untitled

    Without destination
    there would be no distance

    Without distance
    there would be no roads

    Without roads
    there would be no arrival or departure

    Without arrival and departure
    there would be no space

    because we would forever be
    already there.

    #5

    The Elevator-Gang

    We are standing stiff on the first floor
    like freshly jarred pickles.
    Oxygen crops into the size
    of sour breath, whilst
    sandwiched between perverted hands,
    I can read the sleepless, sex-
    deprived nights on their stubbly
    chins, trying to ignore
    the itch of my tongue.

    -----------------------------------

    #6 Untitled 2

    I wish I had more space instead
    Of flirting with the claustrophobia
    Of your eyes. I wish the rocket
    I had could find its fuel
    And take me into orbit, forgetting
    You were harboured in a fast food diner
    Of the fifties, and I lost
    In the empty space of tired, tired time
