radically indeed

riding wave after wave of doubt
and remorse before dismay pleads its case
disgust about the past is already gone
in private the discussions are quick
confessions revolve around funny overspending
arguments so silly by the end we are laughing
leaving the care behind when we head downtown or
letting a forest and a river call us back home
yellow butterflies dance in my memory
intense moments captured of when life turned around
now the toughest mountains have the prettiest peaks
doing my best to remember the ghosts i miss
each day is its own separate animal
end the confusion and come back to who you are
devote your energies to the things you love

selling suprises

some of the days are
everything except what you would expect
letting you know to not plan too hard
like a sign that means more than one thing
including whatever it is you can’t see
near the final moments that
glow with the close of evening
sure as a moon slowly setting over the mountain
unless i find you these moments lose meaning
pulling down the ceiling and
relaxing like a slow sleepy animal stretch
if a nap is when you possibly sleep best
stay there and let the stress be suppressed
endure the torture of a long yawning sunday
so the next week with you will be easy

strange connections

sparks of fear
take their time in extinguishing
red little dots that
arrange in the air like constellations
not like the elemental desire in water
gallons of blue green and clear
embraced with all surfaces of skin
collected through in the emotion fluidity
on the rocks the splash collides
now racing back down before the next wash
not far from the beach is the peak of
elevated land with tall forests and white tops
closing in on the cloud domain
tasting the fog right before a rain
into the floating moisture surrounded by frosty blue
onto these edges every emotion are elements
narrowly slipping past and through each circumstance
supplying the world with the myth of reality

happiness seeds

half the time I know I shouldn’t talk
after I open my mouth
perhaps it is just my own bad decisions
playing games in my head
if you couldn’t forgive me that then
nothing would have worked out
each and every night with you is fun and
sometimes i sing or dance to express it
so that i can feel my soul get lifted
soaring and laughing at the luck life has awarded
even when being tormented
each and every minute is better than
dark days when i didn’t even want to wake up
stay here with me and lets nap all day

final goddesses

find the lost connection and
imagine a rand new game
near to the things remembered gladly
after the passing of time created
lessons to be valued and learned
golden notes drifted across the air
only it was your voice and not a song
diving deep into my brain maze
defined by the newly formed logic web
endurance is not something i avoid
statues all look up from their spaces
sort of glowering in their desire to thaw
each one a dinosaur of regretfull modern thinking
sounding like an echo as we whip by

completed puzzles

create the connection that
only using flame to see by shall produce
maybe the flickering will show
pieces that need to be put together about
little spaces in this evening
eventually putting out the bonfires of misconception
these branches of creation
end all of the assumptions about creativity moods
don’t even predict what could happen from here
please just stop having what you assume
use your brain for more powerfull motivations
zero in on what you are aiming for
zeal for the life when you receive caring affection
like when you and your partner solve a brain teaser together
either you communicate and cooperate or
stay supportive and weather the storm

reasonably insane

right when you wake up i
easily predict where you are headed
across the flood and out of fresh air
simple sounds can sometimes say everything
offering a hand to your little familiar
narrow eyes because she talks back
after licking her paw and raising an eyebrow
beneath the light a bit of silver
lets me know if i should stand up
you hear my voice but i departed long ago
inside the kitchen a few plants say hi
naughty laughter lets me know you feel me
shoes would be under my chair if i had any
around your neck is the sweater i bought you last christmas
not every time, but sometimes when i cough you grab your necklace
eventually we will meet up again

connection check-in

can not believe the memories coming back to me
owning a collection of things i
never thought i would ever even see
now objects i swore were completed by
entities i knew of
camping out on my shelf and can be held
twice i woke up thinking i heard something
interpreting signals to action that don’t exist
orange and purple hidden inside dark corners
not completely sure but i just saw an animal
crawling across from someplace i have seen before
here where i dwell it is either too hot or too cold
every day since i stole these particular items
came back from the store and can’t remember my name
kind of wondering what keeps happening to me
if i could remember the items sort of had a curse
not unlike a land you should never return to

instituted dreaming

inside your mind it must always be
not too loud and mostly calm
so different from my own inner process
there are times when i just want someone
interested in my opinions or at least
taking a chance and going all in
untill i was broken i did not know
these reasons for staying so guarded
even then it seems if you want to have
distinguished souls in your existence then
do it and stop hesitating because each day or
really each minute is yours to grasp and
explore like a personal forest adventure
around the time you find out how
marvelous an aware spirit can be
it will create a different view in your mind
nothing seen will look the same
getting advice and learning from your own history

growing conversation

grow more into this spot
raised to do the right thing again
ordering the best food from my favorite place
while i stroll i can recall
interesting times in this part of town
near where the water fountain once was
gotta stay cheerful like there is not a choice
candle light in a window and
open puddles reflect the moon’s face
needing to absorb as much fresh air as i can
very in the moment but something is not right
even the paper and pen do not look right
reading the words i wrote
something looks different than i ever meant
alone on a walk just like always
there is no sign telling me where i am
identify the direction by where the mountain is
on my head there is no hat
no shoes on my feet
