J Knight Poems

At dawn, in the crying mornings of America, when people rise with the sun, off to their tragic lives, the paranoid red sun jumped into the palms of my hands and I held it there feeling the warmth in the mysteries of my flesh, the mysteries of my heart (the mystery of love) , and I held it there all day until I knew I had to give it up, and I threw it into the west and when all that color and light faded, I drew your picture with the stars and you were glistening magnificently in all that darkness; you’re the visible twinkle of star hope, and you twinkle in my heart all day, through light and darkness, you shine, star.
You’re a mystery baby and you knew I was crying with my head in the palms of my hands/ baby, you’re off there faded in the red mornings of a paranoid day/ sun mystery of lives, heart mystery visible out west and at dawn, you smile star lovely/ mysterious sun over America/ glistening I jumped out west and then your became the sun- that color of love/ “I got star feelings for you. You light the dawn I live under, so I need you to rise the day, my west sun”/ you’re all heart, the mysteries of stars, broken heart dawn/ love/ the Universe threw us together and knew you are hope/ America, all with your color over darkness/ mornings knew it, and made our hearts visible baby, color/ I held you up there, my crying blue eyes/ my light stars shine with paranoid light/ I need you to shine heart... all day until I jumped out west and I knew you were hope/ “I got star hope, and I held a smile and star feelings for you. You raise the red mornings in the east, and when the darkness falls, you become a star of the night”/ you’re the red sun, and when you fell... I was crying/ give me your feeling of stars shine heart with your picture on the red sun mystery of lives/ you’re the heart twinkle baby, and you are red Universe and we’re off crying hearts of America, and I need to see your crayon eyes glow and taste your candy apple red lips/ you were the color until you faded and fell off sun/ out west and you held my heart/ I said: “I’m in love with you... let your light shine over naked life”/ if I had one wish... I would wish for you/
“You’re the Universe baby and I need you...”
...

All in amazing bed kissing
in the dizzy heat of happy
energetic motion.
...

Her loving smile lights up the sky
brighter than all that sun
Her gorgous lips, shower me with precious kisses
showing her love and lust
...

Slowly, I have never ran madly beyond
any beauty, my broken heart broadcast shining stars,
crying,
I cannot laugh because it is too passionate
...

Sitting in winds and the rainstorm disappears/
all is love again.

The stars come sparkling out, sad and secretive, Star-bright meltdown in
...

Beyond any girl,
Your body is juicy:
in your most alive kiss
You create life.
...

Thinking of past feelings
and soft memory pictures-
walking towards death in a
silent soft bed, my head on white pillows
...
