Tragic Comedy

Shaking from side to side
Trying to decide
The best alternative
To living a lie

Thumbing through flickering memories
Needing a sense of clarity
Jumping head first into the tragedy
Living like there's no gravity.

From Stone to Stone

Sinking from the inside out
Fighting 'till the sun goes out
Criss-crossing from stone to stone
Sitting beside myself undone.

The Moment I Said It

Swirling colors of opal
Fill the canvas of you & me: of us

We come with our hearts undressed
Lips locked tight
Fighting for breath

Take my breath away
Leave me dancing on the floor

Take the heart off your sleeve
I'll take off my inhibition

Take my heart
I come apart in your hands
I melt in your arms

Your lips are all I need
Your eyes are all I see
When I close mine

How the memory of you leaves me wanting
You leave me wanting everything I believe

I believe I'm in love with you:
I am in love with you.

Poet: Skyy Allen

Aquamarine

Aquamarine I've seen the sea~
I've seen the me that used to be.

Standing at the oceans shore~
Afraid to re-open the door.

Aquamarine~
I've seen what the rain has to bring
The one true king who reigns on high.

I've asked the dove to bring him my prayers~
It's hard to tear away from old habits,
But you ordered me to conquer my fears.

Aquamarine~
I pin all my hopes & dreams on you.
I need to take the time to realize the magnitude of things.

My eyes cry for something true~
My tears reveal pools of mirrors
Reflecting me; reflecting you .

Aquamarine~
I dream in blue.

You appeared to me in a pillar of smoke~
I scream my prayers into my cloak .

Dreams flow into the sea~
Back to you, Aquamarine.

Poet: Skyy Allen

Love Affair

Take your time, do it right
Cry my name, hold on tight
You can't deny it, this feels right

Quit looking out the window
Look into my eyes
Scream louder
I'll make you scream my name
Lick ice-cream off your chest

Sit still
Let me be your windmill
Do I make you feel uneasy: dirty, filthy, sleazy?

We can take it slow
Play dress-up in the snow
Between the sheets
I'll leave a light on for you

When we talk we stalk each other
With a penetrating gaze
Wanting to be more than friends
Needing something more

When you're near my fingers start to tingle
With lovesick electricity
Craving you like white chocolate
Thirsting your touch like iced tea on a summers day
Walking between the lines

Chasing you like a jaguar
Swinging from tree to tree
I want you on your knees

Take me in your arms
Let's take up arms
Let's play a game
You be the happily married man
I'll be the Sunday school teacher
Waiting for you to teach me a lesson
In hypocrisy.

Dirk

Zigzag--
Am I a fag
Or just another queer?

A deer caught in the head-lines:
Afraid of the stigma of being labeled "gay."

I've tried to sift through all the lies
Now it's time to open my eyes;
It's time for me to be true to myself,
I am a man & nothing more.

A man with many demons
And a thousand & 1 insecurities:
Trying to rationalize what I can't deny.

Flip-flopping back & forth--
Am I or aren't I?

Feeling so confused--
My mind is clouded with thoughts abated.

I'm tired of having to defend;
I'm weary of the prospect of being typecast:
I am a man & nothing more.

Ticktock--
I am the abbreviation
Of 20 something consternation.

Headphones on
Always having to be on;
Pretending to be a man sure of himself:
Obstinately performing in this merry-go-round of lies.

Tightrope walking over a lake of fire
The warning is clear, the message is dire--

I am a fag, I am a queer
I am a deer caught in the dead-lights
Of living a life half-alive.

Poet: Skyy Allen

Purple Flame

Riverborn--
My heart was torn.
Feel in love with a boy,
Thought he was a toy.

Blue with envy:
I questioned myself,
I surveyed every feeling.

Jealous & possessive--
I desire an unending fire;
A lover who can extinguish my violet flame.

Poet: Skyy Allen
