Optional

accepting where you are at and
not settling in to the same old rut
deny the comfortable complacency
organized by the mindset of not experementing
perpetuated beneath such a uninspired roof
twisted all up inside from years of mistreatment
including amounts of time locked up and undefended
or arriving at the stage where works are commanded
nightmares are made of moments like these
almost every torture leads back to things like these
longing for something you may never see again and
doing your best to do whatever you can to not think of that
ending the nights by knocking the mind out ’till morning
agents of change sneaking all around the personality
there are times i need you near me, honey
hate to picture passing away without your kisses

Incomplete

if it was
not such a surprise, i
could have been here before and on
occasion i think about how i was here long ago
many moons were spent looking upwards
piecing together the collective unconscious
like universal philosophy
exactly mirrored in a dark bowl of soup
times when the night actually keeps you awake
every moment you open your eyes the
tension rises and the
arrival begins of the thousand mile stare
looking as if a marathon has started or
keeping concentration like a cross-country pilot
stay solid in where you are aiming

Introduction

venting as you rush out the door
every part is aching to escape
racing to the car and over the hill
yearning to be hand in hand with you as
quietness joins up with the road
unusual futures are getting ready for us all
impatience has given up trying to effect
calm moments bring you to tension relief
keeping the heart pure for this reason
inspect every little element of a soul so pretty
nearby the wind is giving some signals
tasting the passion
ride the highway while singing to yourself
on the tip of my tongue is your name
doing a quick little re-assessment
until a sunset comes
cooling you off is just the cloud’s job
these song lyrics are so perfect
i want you kissing me more than i want food or sleep
ours is a specific understanding
nobody raises my spirits like your mind

Ownership

getting on the hardest adventure
riddled with reasons to keep going
even when you doubt how to still be here
after the start of this new season of life
things look better and brighter and not
only the moment right before sleep is the best
when this month is done the energies rumble
next week should take its time arriving
ears that don’t hear after a certain hour with
recieved requests to connect only to you
sustained over a valley of being drawn in different diections
having to make, need, rush, persue, play and pry
it was a person i like and respect who said
place the ability to keep working, producing and creating in me

Wait movement

when i saw you here i
awoke from where i was
it reminded me of where i hoped
that i could be if all the stars
in line ganged up which shone upon each other
now that i telephone call it is odd
give me just one more chance to
make every word count
only this month is
vitally important to my next actions
empty my pockets
make my year special
ease my mind
never trouble my soul
take me home

Choice

Re-envision the last thing I drew
Edit the emotions that stood still again
Multiple ways I lost my way
Intense as a memory can truly be
Time has a way of coming back around
Lists that are now a template of the past
In an effort to make the rain and plants return
Fine as a grain of sand in a glass
Engage the alone time we missed together

Guarded

I am not…
I sat on the chair
Resting on wood and breathing the breeze
And observed a canine
For many hours
Missing the one whom he is most dedicated to
Whimper at the sounds of a house and
Barking anxiety at each car or person
Who comes close enough to
Pull the idea of being the one
Very most important person out
But never receiving it for
Many many many
Hours on end
And being devoted
And staring at the door
And hoping and wanting
To no avail
But my energies sympathetic and
My emotions understand but
I was there once for her
But now i am not

Crush

can you tell me that
really all questions are the same
until you know where you
should have said something different
have you not been as
aware as you know you could’ve or should’ve been
don’t doubt your
overly assumptive bizarre instincts
right now you are the most charming smile
and i do not want to let you see me like this
taking time to breathe before i speak this time
i am not able to allow myself to be controlled anymore
on the table is my only motivation
nearly holy music that sets my teeth on edge
some of the most catchable thoughts hide there

Like this

placing the rock back home
echoing and making a garden grow
roasting and sure and evidentially here
maybe a season to
ache and angst and angry seek
no time out unless it is alone
every night a dream
not a day without waking
taking a taste of everything
being here for her on every occasion
ready to run
unless we sleep
in the still of the nighttime
saying everything
ending the talk with a kiss

Submit

Claimed as if so far away
Over the lines of miscommunication
Making the verification of any
Path that is true about half the time
Letting go in the county of the arena of kings
Eager to get something done but nothing to prove
Today is better than all the yesterdays
Exit the room but not the building
Like a canvas that has been released
Yelling at myself In my own head
Sifting through the corrections that need to be made
Unless I am so busy I believe you
Beaches of trust I have seen,
mountains of closeness I have been
I am so far past falling for you
That I cannot picture life without you in it
