there’s this dream, then I’m awake.

For the first time on Loki Listens, I’m going to publish a poem I am actually sort of proud of. Hopefully someone will enjoy it as much as I do.

Drink in the night.
Can you feel this flavor?
The wine is deep red.
The love is crystal clear.
Drink with me.
This cup we share.
We are not this.
We never […]

She fell asleep that night, in my arms.
I can’t remember the last thing
that she said to me.
When morning came,
I was alone.
So quickly, so suddenly,
it was all over.
I don’t remember arguments.
I don’t remember fights.
I thought we were pretty happy.
I’ll try not to think next time.

I Listen.
I Travel.
faux poetry is something similar to a sin.

Ignore delusion.
Find the center.
Move up beyond
the silver halo.
Grab your darkness
And force through it.
Climb the Tree.
Meet the truly solitary.
Embrace your soul.
-Jack
I Listen.
I Travel.

Don’t bother with this one. It’s poetry. Blah.

Someone’s down the corner.
Sitting on the street.
He holds up a sign
that no one reads.
You ignore him.
I ignore you.
Pretty soon…
We’re all three on the corner.

Okay, there it is.
Check us out at Twitter Travels for up-to-date on the trip. I’m blogging from Florence, AL.

I Listen.

Meet my thunder!
Meet my rain!
I break the firmament
and cleanse this world.
I am Tlaloc,
Father of Rain.
I am Tlaloc,
I am every rain drop.
I am every lightning crash.
I am Tlaloc.
Meet my thunder!
Meet my rain!
-Loki.

Every now and then
I get it all together again
I’ve lost my way
Help me to stay
I can’t find my way
home….
I look back at the past
Nothing seems to last
All these dreams will fade
some day. I hope, I know.
I hope, I know.
Every now and then
It all falls apart again
I can’t relate,
I know my fate
Help me escape.
Hold me […]

I wrote this poem when I was in college, I think…
—–
black butterflies fluttered
through the night sky
i stood facing destiny
in the cold, dark wind
i reached and grabbed
one by its wings
the black powder-life
came off on my fingers
and left my little
insect kin flightless
he flopped, mindlessly,
across the wet pavement
i only wanted to embrace
his beauty, but instead
i have taken his […]

Outside in the fog, I wander.
I’m feeling a little lost lately.
Something’s missing,
but nothing much has changed.
Across the planet,
she’s dreaming under a starlit sky.
Something’s missing,
but she’s sure nothing has changed.
-Loki.

Okay, wow. forgive me if this is terrible. I just found it in some old files. Apparently I wrote it in February 2001. Let me know what you think.

Gently slipping liberation
Sweeps over me as I
stare at the stars
Someone touches my hand
But she’s lost to me now
I’m drifting into the stars
The moon […]

Ashes fall from my cigarette.
I realize that it has started to
burn my hand.
Snuffing out the butt in an achingly
overflowing ashtray. Brought back
to the world at hand.
Lost in thought.
Pleasant memories
often hurt more than caustic ones.
I feel the fire
light the flame
cigarettes are all that’s left.
-Loki.
