sense

the air in here

keeps telling me

but I cannot tell myself

I look around at the

red brick walls

and I cant bring myself to

avoid re-living

the many times we met in rooms

exactly like this and talked until

dawn

about everything except what

was right in front of us

I would have given the

entire world of mine

to somehow talk cupid into

putting an arrow into your heart

I would not have

looked away that time

but now you are so far away from me

it hurts

the grasping of your shoulders

when we hug is not enough

I want to see you every morning

I wake up

just by rolling over

if I don’t say something more than

I have ever before

it may never happen…

shown

masking the scene

making a dream

monitoring the little mistakes

that brought back a feeling of zen

after the burning emotions

had left town again

when you mentioned coming here to stay

I thought you were not

moving away

and the sad anger burst my feelings

like I knew what you meant

but couldn’t find the words to say

before I knew not to take you

so very seriously

because this was the compiling of your creativity

like a shield without a sword

or a compliment ignored

under washes of flame

or a few raindrops of fire

how far would you stand to wait

our souls are

melting together

like candle wax

thief

as the little old men

gather and share coffee

and stories of the times they

know will make each other laugh

one single solitary leaf

comes from above

to land on the blank  page

I have spent the past few hours contemplating

and as it sits

vein side up

I am stirred from my silver lining

to this exact moment

right now in this very minute

all I have tried and been

all I have done and seen

comes rushing back in full detail

and I can either change course and get

what I want out of life

by striving, straining, doing

or join the rest of the world in

being a worker for someone else’s cause

all this time

I have been

building a cocoon

for someone else’s caterpillar…

glaze

the wispy yellow

closeness of our

lovely summer clouds

matches the feeling of

our hearts intertwined

on the wooden deck

we have come a million miles

to find each other over the course

of both our lives

like a very slow walk

that wishes the moon closer

and the stars brighter

a medicine that we have

brought with us

and we have a great

little scene

our four shoes

kicked off

plants drinking light

and sky

our kisses

were eternal hot bath

relaxation

how

it Is difficult to imagine

being happy

when the tragedy that occurred is

so fresh in peoples minds

and what can you say to

comfort someone

when the loss is so great

only a word of being there

and a comforting hug

and every emotion should be dealt with

and to support in your own way

and assist in going through

the pain of getting on with life

knowing you have

a friend

heart

I was

raising you up

to place

you on the altar

to give the gods

a glance at

your beauty,

for it is too good

to keep to myself

and no other

thank you can

cause a collection

of what is

the most holy

taste to kiss

when I am fallen

oh you

the sleep was unimportant.

the heat was not required.

the snow was a bonus.

the food was good, sometimes great.

the family was, well, family.

the only thing

that made it all so very worth it

were the kisses.

the kisses were

electric heaven.

gasp

coming back

from a place that

felt so far away

I know that

your incredible face

your kind words

would be here to greet me

when you came hopping

over to welcome me home

and I would never

have expected your

touch to make me

this happy

you let me know it

would be a long

and gloriously adventuresome

summer ahead

if you let the

continued blending commence

solo

allied to the

information you

know can only get you so far

and the sun will be out if

you don’t prepare for it

after the news of your

life change makes

the rounds with the friends

you knew would watch you till the end

then when you grab the past

and make sure it doesn’t last

but you see the only ones

who like you

will be there when your last

tomorrow comes

alone and in charge of your life

is what you get

aim for

correctly assessing
the journey of the day
on a warm island
wishing the
yesterdays could be
recreated to add up
to the future when a
good old fashioned
cup of joe
was what made you
so happy like
reliving the casting
of shadows
and I don’t want
to be concerned
about my voice my eyes
my thoughts my past
can’t we just
hand out here and
have a real good
time talking about
everything and nothing
all at once
