Friend of All Friends

I sit discussing things of value that might not mean anything at all
Politics and art such things that vary from time to time
We holler aloud in our silent space giving ear to each other
Our spoken words absent of sound, heard
Never ceasing to stop this conversation, endless
Weather or not these friends of mine are real I do not dwell in
They listen well and that is why they are with me
All of us together form a single body
They are always around
No need to call them
No need to wait for them
Transparent to time
Mirrored from me
Lending their hand for help
I'm fine with these voices in my head

Long Lost Message

Who among you is but a fool
The sky is moving she's a moon
These garments showing fumes 
Growing feathers beneath the womb
Sky is woman she's on the move
This love is a running loom
Leave me rope so I can get back home
Vanish on the bow
Feel it all
Feel it in the dark room 
My mind could not walk this silver
Pale son all he wants
This story goes
I will see you when he gets home
Follow through
Uncharted footstep blanks
Friendly ghosts
Someday moons pain will be clean
With all these wolves around you
Send me the message when I get home
Something might get me
Ringing this one dry
Carry the story from old
Can you give him a clue
Natural blue
One mile until lost
Coming to a loss
Don't bother them
I'll send him in the morning

Death has risen before me and I have shaken his hand
Both in agreement that he almost won but still acknowledging that this has just begun
This tug of war for my life is teetering on the edge of exhaustion
Bringing me to the brink of my sanity
The ruler of all lies has placed his tongue softly on the beating drum of my ear
The droplets of his saliva are solidifying around my ears like wax headphones
Numbing the truths that are so visibly screaming on my left and rights
Wrapping his warm arms around me and rocking, he sings with his brilliant slaves
Sunset after sunset I find myself wandering like a baby penguin back to mother for comfort and warmth
Perching just below reality
This constant battle is requiring a sword that my dagger can not overcome
My armors pierced and battered grieving to be restored 
Every opening of my eyes reborn
Covering my sheepish body snow white wool flows full and thick that can never be sheered
I'm in refuge
