deep current

a place of peace, a shot in the dark

bleeding and breeding, plotting, supplied not denied

who you are is the person waiting calmly in the world

of those who see the country change and make not mistake about it

such are the city dwellers and the country fellers

telling time by those who make a day so long

as if sleep were an unwanted commodity

as the priests play on

in their happy and guilt laden song

and the circles go round and round

as if we played in a similar tone

if not the same

orchestra

connect the dots again

Coming in through the doors
Opening up a part of the mind never seen before
Nice as a captured pet when it is bath time
Needy as a thirsty friend coming in from the cold
Evidentially the real face is a lot like the true colors
Can you believe how easily I have fallen for
Temperamental emotional interconnected experiences
There is only so much you can do
Horrible weather cannot effect me any longer
Ending a good story is always going to happen
Dating to be the simple confident soul is quite unusual
Only the ability to breathe is all I need to stay here
Taking every moment as it comes like a rock in a storm
Showing your true facets
And denial is only going to get you so far
Glowing in the light of the shine of the sun
Across the air you can almost touch
Including the thoughts I feel
Never jump off a cliff without looking

that a beach is then

There was, as you so observed, a time that
Hurried a terrible announcement and a leaving
After a night long and full of denial
There is both who are supposedly on your side
And getting ready to do the same thing as you…(tharr be more)
But really they are two foes
Each battling their inner demons
And pacing and prowling this array of
Considered future established trails
How would the battling begin or end
Is in your hands and you do not see it
Sounds in your head are what you’re trying to avoid
Then make a choice instead of fighting in
However many occasions you had
Even when the heart was bleeding
Now is the time to make ready

finding distractions

facing the way that i know it should be
inside this decision that you made
needing rest and relaxation to continue
during a night which can decide everything
including final choices of the beginning of this year
nevermind what wishes you have brought out
getting out those words which have boiled inside you
definitely time to have this fiesty conversation
incredibly quiet and full of fire as you become
show the feeling which you have anticipated
through a wait which showers the mind with questions
ready for whatever revalation you will show me
after this month all the query time can
come back strong and bring along some friends
timing is important when the walls of heat are crumbling
i am not sure what the news will be
out of patience and not wanting to stay but
needed desire to be inquiring in a slow fashion
so i will do anything as long as you are happy

the master’s voice

true as a hunters full moon can evoke
heat that even the second winter breeze can allow
entering the months we get along with most
making the best of everything
across the abstract collection of choices
some hidden songs, a late night wait, a sign
taking the short road no matter what
even the roads know, you must have too,
ready finding a fight to get through
some tiny tastes that only so many people love
very bright nights make the travel better
only this and the embrace and kiss i have been waiting for
in the split second you might steal a kiss
cannot even begin to describe
each time i pictured this behind my eyes

who could be here in these eyes?

why is life a raging river?
holding back a plant or rock from
overtly joining its parade,
can you hear the tick tick tick
of the clock that regenerates
us when a fear of success or death
leaves a chill in the back of the room
destined to flesh out the learning curve
blue eyes are sad in this night rain
even when it was sunny all day
hope still helps the flattered few who
evict another bright green fight of
rights that the flowers gave up on
easy argue and hard compassion moments
issued to a hopeful good team
not on the same side as we are
today we will connect again on a level
hot off the news-wire that bluffs
every time it seems to care
silent in the clouds that move
eager to play the game
evil rules even followed this time
yes it was a good comment
endings which we foresee
stopping us from shooting at stars

discover inspiration

doors are closed and the only heat
is either coming from me or a blanket
shifting ust a little in order to get more
comfortable with where you relax at
one cup of hot chocolate for each of us
very spicy sauce all over the soup
every bite just right like a matress of perfect softness
ready for the movie of the evening or just
interesting games that can
need some imagination with thier laugh and chat
showing the new favorite show to the
person i wanted to see it the most in the world
included in a pile of pillows while the windows fog up
right now i can get up and start shivering
anticipating each minute untill the moonrise
took a few extra vitamins on this occasion
in the interest of making it to the next day
on the time of our connecting
not a thing or person can keep me from you

to rock the boat again

today i am sure i do not want to
overhear a single comment about how
really odd my life is
or even one word
can you believe some days i have
kind of lost my sense of humor
tipped my over the edge where there are no laughs
happiness comes in the form of
eager long strolls under the street lights
beginning so far from the busy street lights and the people
on this occasion i am unable to relax
after i have found a way to stop thinking
then i can let the heartbeat slow down a little bit or
take my time getting a bite while slowly breathing
opening my mouth for any reason besides speaking
not sure where my mind will wander to next
in the interest of peace i will avoid people
good news would be hearing no words but
having someone be very supportive anyway
that may be the biggest thing i ever ask

putting touches on a
last piece of house i want keep
after the past has been said goodbye to
yawning after a long day’s work is done
in that bedroom i was first reading under a blanket
next to that was the room grand paws taught me poker
getting to first make out with friend girl downstairs
coming home from the first track meet that year
opportunity to learn pool that summer and
maybe not hide my first beer while i hear granma’s jokes
puppies being chosen for work on the farm
leaning forward to sun the back on that lawnmower
inching quietly across the porch with a juice at sunset
chasing butterflies or swinging on a rope
after dinner reading by the fireplace
treating ourselves to cherries and cream at midnight
every morning we discussed the teachers in history
dedicated to the peace that comes with family
growing in many directions and many ways
awesome collections of the
mighty snowstorms that find us wherever we are
eventually disappearing in the darkness of a den
soft edge past evolves into a hard line future

project car part

possibilities of a past delusion
revulsion of a secret that was lost again
organic reading of the pilot light and stars
justice in our own home and hiding room
effort put into a dinner appreciated while these
concluding logic tastes know stout is somewhere in it
tossed on the sea of potatoes
compulsive as the white salt and black pepper
among the tiny soy and peas and carrots
repay with a few kind words and a toast
playing in a seedless side soda bread
amazing shephards pie seeps in
ready to share a night with you
touring taste as the need to rest in our sore bones
