instant automatic

immobile and unconscious
nearby you breathe soft sleeping sound
swinging drapes show the heat and
that glow coming in through the laundry room window
allows me to see the small toy of the pet
nightlight around a corner is
the shadow of your slow dreaming twitch
amplified by the amazing stillness of
unmoving air in every other room
tiny sighs come drifting out of your mind
on the blanket your hand stretches out
my mind can now forget all my past nightmares
all of my tension has left a couple hours ago
thankful for you as i remain
i wonder how we got back here again
can you tell me where we are headed?

holiday lifestyle

have to grasp the fact
only the whole world gets better when you
let yourself feel the new
inspiration that comes with
dedication to being the very best you can be
and after that change
you will find nothing is so bad
like a sun shining day
in the middle of a snowy fallen winter
feeling better
every day just by being at ease and
staying positive
tested with the effort in the
yellow sun making the bright last
lets get into some shade and
even the sunset watches us kiss

memory defeated now

make a place to relax
enduring the end of year
moving my body to keep the
orderly thoughts in my mind
right on track to complete my end goals
you and i have lives like european castles
destroyed but still complete
energies and histories can be stronger than stone
fire and metal no longer
every single part of the world’s currency
and the laws shift when you cross borders
through willpower great changes and achievements are made
effects of good vibes can last a life
don’t stop telling the stories of our times
narrow chances are recognizable and
outside or inside we have a real good time
we complete our nights by smiling warm blue light

major misunderstanding

many songs flow in my head
across the hours you are not here
jumping from one feeling to another
often as the wind changes direction
raising the bar more day by day
made to stare my faults right in the face
inside the mind of an underground king
staying as far away as outside thoughts
under the impression of being chased
not by a person but by a
dedicated ghost of unique creation
enduring another place i have lived that
really stirs up the spirits for me
some of which are going to remember me
then i better make sure nobody sees me arriving
after a weekend like that
near misses will never scare me again
don’t you know that
i know how very lucky i am
now that i have you in my life it
gets better each and every day

frantic doom night

for the last day of the week
rolling up the sauce and
adding far too much meat to
nineteen minutes of the wait on a tomato
true that i would trade everything
in my world just to make you happy today
can you tell when i want your kiss
don’t even know how to let you feel
on the roof of my heart is the
open door for you to fly on in darkly
make like santa and give me something to unwrap
nobody does make me shake like you do
invitations to dance made me think of you too
got to be true to what you believe
haven’t been this glad with anyone else ever
this is the start of the best year to be

mighty determination

might have known where
interesting nights like this
get a chance to lead up to
having made sure to not let it show
the ease of which i can
yell or let go of my temper
doing my best to not show
everyone here how deep my rage can go
there are people not ever going to
experience that side because i bettered myself
right where i am people know workouts but
maybe they need to learn fitness for the brain
identify the need to expand your awareness
now that you know to advance your being
assume nothing and take nothing for granted
the cold does not last around here
interruptions which choose the
only noise like a loud song on a bad stereo
now i need to say thank you

costume personality

came from a place where
only the deepest thinkers can live
staying no place for long like the opposite of
those who only color inside the lines
underneath the table are
many scattered shoes and we
either play a game or are fast asleep
perhaps we might even
end the evening talking once more
regarding the choices we have like
symptoms of some future in mind
only if the sunshine comes sweetly
nobody finds a sleeping plant without effort
and you have poured water down my shirt
let us hope for all the fun
if we are there it is going to be a good time
take me with you when you go
you are my preferred happy song

several injuries

some of the most amazing times
excite me because you are here
very happy that somehow you stick around
enduring each minute without you
reading that card you wrote me is hope
and each year i get better and
less stupid about my own life
introducing myself to
nineteen liquors give or take a few
jolted to a few moving parts of pain
understandably annoyed with aging itself
rich in companionship and freedom
it is the only thing that counts right now
each night holding your hand
still mornings with a goodbye kiss

ruined atmosphere

red sky showing the final
use of mystic tools and
instruments of inspirational weaponry
normally calm hands shake
eager in anticipation of
dissolving resistance to the celebration
arranging decorations mentally
then quickly changing the idea
molding the discovery of a year unseen
open the door to
several directions of instant serendipity
pull out the shaker and give me some ice
have a tall sip and remember
empty glass like a politician’s eyes
red and glazed
every day a long long race

collected jungle

curled up tiny bits of leaf
on the branch of a
large open and fuzzy green stem
letting the colors grow
every day bleeding into the room
cupping the air and
tumbling bloom once in a while
each one rescued to the
dedicated care of a chlorophyll zookeeper
jars that look like mummified cactus
unorganized moss that looks like hair
nine succulents looking like a frozen choir
growing in every direction
little concerto of a praise of water
each one a statue of peace
