SETH PLATE
(inspired by the movie “City of Angels”)
April 20, 1998
Would you fall from grace with God
for just one perfect moment with me?
To touch my hair and smell . . . more

Once found, a lost item to the loser of it,
Is like finding a treasure in a sunken ship
Deep within the bowels of the sea;
Unscathed by water’s elements, its floor and time,
The item reminds . . . more

Bruised Sky
Two days.
Two days free from the thick air of fear.
The Medicine woman took Temperance to the ocean.
The sky was the colour of a bruise.
The sea was as ashen as a dead mans face. . . . more

Alone forever?
Standing on the dock
My voice echoes in black sky
And travels to stars
Dogs within two miles
Can hear my cry in the night
The sky hears nothing . . . more

I had five toes on each foot
The last time that I counted them.
It took a while. They wouldn't stop moving.
I find the symmetry reassuring.
If the ring toe were to be removed from . . . more

Today I am long grass
wearing the wind.
Today I am river
flowing the golden sunpoints of time.
Today I am hunger
rising from the river to the sun
catching the wind in my heart
aspiring . . . more

If God were to ask me
What gift do you seek?
Whisper silently your preference;
For this is the day I carefully chose as

I wont offer you my shoulder any more
shouldn't have broken it
I wont offer my thoughts any more
using my time, criminal, with that sound that sound that sound
I wont offer my time any more

Pre-dawn, eyes hazy and blunt.
Sojourn to shower, familiar fount.
Bowing to spigot, library of liquid love,
of hot-off-the-press caress and solution-borne soliloquy.
I hike the heat by vanquishing . . . more

I crossed this vast ocean of dirty tricks and betrayal, just to find out that the masses thought me the queen of all suckers and the laughing stock of the foundation.
And they want to know why I want . . . more

With our feet we walk around
And see so many things,
It all depends what shape we're in,
Or if our feet have wings.
If I just had a speed bike
I could peddle everywhere
I could even . . . more

Snowflakes forming as they fall
Each so delicate and so small.
White and dainty, formed in the cold,
Simple, intricate, precious like gold.
Each one different, in it's own form, . . . more

I would like to kiss your ankles
bring them to the seams of time, endless
flowing pristine
as a clear cerulean daydream
steep and expansive
take my palm
edges smooth upon skin and skins
and slap

i am often asked
why i write
or how
and what
compels
this right hand
to script
erratic
incomprehensible
thoughts
that consistently
drown
my cerebral cortex
only to pay my heart a visit
awakening . . . more

When walls are closing in
and life is beating me down,
You carry me,
You carry me...
When tears fall down my face,
no solace to be found,
You carry me,
You carry me... . . . more

You knew… didn’t you?
That the fruit should be left alone!
He knew…didn’t he?
That the fruit was not yours to hone.*
The serpent beguiled you.

Somewhere
there is a place
where I belong.
where I feel at peace.
Surrounded
by lost souls
seeking an answer
a place to heal.
Unsettled
by their pain
feeling every woe . . . more

You hear the deepest cries of my soul;
You hold me in Your hands,
sheltering me with the purest of Love,
giving me guidance from above.
No one else in all the earth
knows me like You . . . more

I cannot survive without God's Love
Of this I have no doubt
He is the only reason I have
To live and love and shout.
Too many times I've walked wrong paths,
But He was always there
