more or less

awake to a new wave of thinking

keep an open mind

in all the ways you approach me

nothing can keep me away

getting through today will not be too tough

now that I know I will see you tonight

ordering my mind to continue being strong

when you are near my worry is gone

Access to a beautiful work I never knew

very surprised I ever arrived here

each thought a lofty butterfly drifting

should you want time I will run to you

this sunset was made just for today

on the pillowy clouds ride thoughtful notes

Needing to chase that moon

into the sky and beyond the blue

guided with stars and hopeful wishes

her curly hair and bright eyes cause smiles

time cannot move slow enough for me

the filth

the ache

the hurry

the hate

everyone goes out

into the world and experiences

common curses in society

but only a few

can dance through this forest anymore

and losing your way in life

is as common as a stubbed toe

what you do with

your own pain

is your own business

yet the strong get used to dying

and all the rest

who take advantage and conniving schemes

will make their way

without as much struggle

or as much sweat on the brow

I would rather bleed emotion

and hurt in my own skeleton

than bow to any

direction where the gold piles rule

and my own thoughts will

be the inspiration I concocted

as the final heart beat drops

forever with you is a dream come true

under the moon or at the table

realization like that can change things

in a very short period of time

Opportunity to change life for the better

unless there is enough hours

busy is a part of life

some mornings stunning and

some evenings electric

exactly as brilliant as I had dreamed

Xerox the day and copy that to my Calendar

coming in from the cold of customer service

into the warmth of actual interaction

this is the ailment which curses most of us

even when the need has become overworked

maybe the effort will pay off in the

end and all the harm will be forgiven

now you see life is too short for grudges

the best way is just proceeding one interaction at a time

As of the dawn which

Plays open the day

Expectations are not the best

Death and despair will do that

The mood is bleak

and nothing brings the same place

back into the glow anymore

it is impossible to find joy

when your soul’s flowers have

been stepped on once again

the cold glass of water

is there to survive

not to thrive

but life is like that

and nobody chooses the

surprise tests you are given

any more than you

get to choose the skin you are in

and a walk in the forest

is just a place to escape to

do these words

disturb you, or

set you at ease within your goals

and aims, because I have only so many

ways to let you in on your way out and

about life, fun and interesting as it is

without my input or critiques and if you

choose to be near me but also get a

whole invited amount of people who choose

you to be that friend, so I should just

remember where we are at now

because it will not last forever

and if you want to

go have a great day and not see me

I can understand

but trust me,I am getting on with my life

and having it go where I want it to, so

when you get a chance to be

with me or near me

from now on I suggest you

take it before I am gone, my love

I was not yet ready to get my

discovery of laying out of my soul

for you the last time I visited, I

had begun to face where my life was

at, and in full dissatisfaction had

turned my face away from what I needed,

I could not have written one page of

my notebook if I had bothered to find it after

all this time, your comments and looks

would not have gotten a better reaction

from a brick wall, and I am friends

with quite a few of those, you and I are

alike, I can tell by our fists, when have

the clouds parted like this before? The

groaning in pain and prayer had not

even started yet, can I touch your scar if

you touch my red? I thought I was

cleaning out the system when I had some of

that poisoned green drink, color and stamina

have joined the trail my feet walk to make the

minutes bond into hours, and no, on that side

of the fence there isn’t any grass either,

but if you just keep on being true to

yourself, all will be revealed.

as old Joe says,

you only live once,

but if you do it right,

once is enough

days like these are a

torture and a breeze

when you travel far away

things seem to change in this world

time becomes odd

when we are closer too

melting us and twisting

the swirl away of a tide pool

or the drip of a burning candle

fifteen minutes can seem

like an hour or

an hour can seem like

just a few seconds

I don’t need a drum roll

to emphasize anticipation tonight

but a joke is just a

way kill time too

and it’s like snapping bones

in as slow a way possible

being this far from you

my dear

it’s true
