low

Could you come inside
And know your way
And play that game?
This is all that can be
Delivered in words but
Trust me I know very well
I have to take this
I have been aware of that
And a man who cares for a princess
Has to take the abuse that
She would give as well as
The compliments so then don’t you
Just ready yourself and
Keep a smile on even if you
Know what you are gonna get
I am thinking that I never
Could deny that I always saw
What I was getting into
Slowly molding into the fire
As aware as you were gonna be

hi

Dear mom,
It was your birthday
yesterday,
and I am having trouble grieving.
Because I feel like you are here,
with me,
with us,
and I Know I still love you.
But I want you to know
I can still feel you
and talk to you
whenever I want,
and I feel
that you are not unhappy
and you
and vernie Eleanor are watching down
and are beautiful souls
in a better place.
I will be celebrating You tonight.

wish

you went so far
and you were there when I would sing
you and trees wave and put up
with my song and the fact you don’t chime along
as if you have ever been with someone
who would be that mean to you
as if I didn’t know then
and another major storm is
all over the horizon and gathers
while we are in a snowy day of elm
who wakes the owl and goes after the prey
like a peacock who was
talked about and sensed it or a tree cut down
both forgotten about and
tonight will be the only time to be
the last lost love you dreamt of
the tide is washing out once more and
none of the feelings are here from the night before
lasting chances don’t happen like that
but where were you when you knew I was down
no oh god don’t go
don’t say we won’t last
a choking neckpiece
a wait a wish
a song a sorrow
if I don’t get a word from you tomorrow
I will rock and roll away
it is too painful any other way

wise

on this one sheet
of paper
each of the places you have been before
restored to order in your memory
making up the new way of seeing in
and then you know where to
truly begin
listening to one
album that explains the loss
and the times you weren’t there at all
not able to correct the words
and far from giving up the day
marking off the hours until
you know you will move away
and this can’t be the only time that
the change came down whether you like it or not
this is the beginning of your only years of
making up for the passion
that left your life and
you thought it was never coming back
but like the storm that arrived that night
only so many people can say
that they were ever loved this way…

away

I was invited to a place
To dance
And too grace life’s stage
With my own romance but not
Even then did I see the readiness
That all the past people you have been
Here with before me I have seen a
Temperance in none of my actions when I am
Ôverwhelmed by your insults
And now I have been dug down too
Much by all that you have said
And done because you
Say mean things, fine, don’t we all
But you do questionable
actions And never explain
You may find someone
You may have found me
But if you mistreat me
You won’t get what you really need

shiny nelson

Softly as the
Hours draw slowly on
In time we feel the single song
Never ending this droopy time
Yearning for the single day
Nothing in your pockets
Every occasion you arrive in town
Lost to the New surroundings we
Seek for a cal night at a relaxing hour
Only negative thoughts can stop us Now
Not only can I tell you anything I can say anything
Sometimes hoping the end of the day is dying
Holding close to my heart something
Important and dear to me but my
Nighttime prayers are on a
Young evening I wake up crying
Not an event that anyone gets over easily
Ears burning because of other people talking
Low to the ground, I walk, but from far above I see,
Some moments are only there to make us feel,
Over the mountain horizon the clouds begin orange
Navigations to the preparation of love dusk……

breath

there are a few beams of sunlight
resting on my leg
as the final hour of work pours in
and I wonder about my friend
and where the time will happen again
to say the few words of hope
that a long day of struggle
and effort wrenches out of
a soul that can only give
so much before the worn-down
tiredness wins
each day you open your eyes is
greeted by the knowledge
that to be right here right now
is a gift that not everyone understands
and you know as well as I do
if life is like a slowly dying plant
then each flower is vital
and needs to be appreciated
because
life is a slowly growing tree
and though you cannot see its growth happening
it is no less valued in its
incredible aged beauty
endless and limited in its own way
as we all are…

descriptive prophesy

drowning in the venom of
evil words that fly around the room
single thoughts translating into
crude words that collide
right in the air in front of me
is that wrong to avoid negativity
psychology that leads each other
to the choices and energies and
intense occurrences that make the
very reality become what is around
every person is what they put out into the world
postpone nothing and get action oriented
right now we have a big day coming
offering up the blade to the beast
perhaps we have more time to plan but it doesn’t
happen that way nine times out of ten
every choice is a simple agreement
saying each day will be better than
you last one, so going forward is the easy key

inner piece

while the vicious cycles
rule the day
it means you have to find your own
flight path
because nobody can break you if
you don’t let it happen
and the happy moments that
can encourage even the most
hopeless ones
always start on the inside
and you have to have strength
even if it was the hardest walk
and you have to have hope
even if you don’t know where
you are going to get it from
and you have to have inspiration
even if there is no
coffee or ice cream or chocolate left
and you must
absolutely positively must
get up get out get something
because letting this life get the better of you
is never going to put a song in your heart
but being the best that you can be
in the worst mood in the worst type of situation
can bring you up when you are feeling down
life gives back to you what you put into it…

run around

when we were first tonight, I
didn’t lie, and say we couldn’t be the
knights or the wizards or the royalty.
only one crew sounds like we do, and
they don’t construct weapons of this kind
of magnitude. To give a gift that means
that much is to incite actions of the cutting
and keeping sort. languidly we embrace the
moon, and with proper adoration see
the rising of the day in a flowering way,
softly as our sense of emergency dies, and this
decrepit and rusting sense of self-loathing
is slowly fleeing in the light of community
bonding, resting, recuperating. with these
final seconds before commotion, before
the restarting of the diesel that is our sunny
active week. planned but not proper,
placed but not patient. it isn’t these
types of days that bond families together,
full of fear and fretting and emergency, but
the before and after of the wrecking of
a secretly planned event or occasion.
could you bring us together today, and if
so, would it be okay? will I say too much?
if not, say nothing…
even my confusion is confused.
