exhuming emotions

exactly like teaching the youngest you know
x, y, z, then the end of the
humid waiting and learning period which was
using every bit of the day that was left
murdering the doubt that set us against each other
if left alone we would still come back together
nothing is as comforting as being told you are missed
growing old joined and unafraid to try new things
evidence of how much attention the night needs
mystic times that come back again
on the occasion of our desired evening
take a moment to appreciate where you are
in time all things change as they must
only you can make me see how to get through today
not that we will talk, i just go through it in my mind
sometimes asking myself what you would do

burning memories

better to play the game than rule the system
unless you arent alone in your own mind
right now i know for sure i
never want to be anywhere but next to you
if it means out in the cold or under hot sun it wont matter
nobody reads the mind of the clouds
giving you my everything because i want to give all i have
maybe i could slow dance with you
even as the sun comes up
make everything all out in the open
ordered to keep the peace by someone who is not peacefull
red in my face matches the blues in the music
i can’t read you like a book but i can hear you like
every song that i heard a hundered times and loved
seeing you beside me is glorious

capture wildness

confirm that the color of eyes are here
access where you show up to
plotting to disappear if you reject my face
times that are like this are far and few between
useless unless i am doing services for you
resting for a moment while you can
effort resulting in a need for some down time
when every ache is twice as
intense and it brought some friends along as well
letting you feel like you slipped and fell
down a hill tall enough to rattle your bones
nearly gone over the edge before i found out
each mistake made is seared into my memory
some of the nights are bright
some of the days are dark

unstoppable evening

until the final hour has arrived
nobody thinks about how they will be dust
someday all of this will end but we
take far too much for granted and
only you can keep me grounded like i need while
people wander ariound asleep yet you are
prying these gorgeous moments out of the month like
arrows hitting bags of the sands of time
being this close to you at this time of our lives is
like holding on to a raft in the middle of a storm
events that remind you that all my best fun is you
eagles fly lower than you make my mind soar
vital signs racing as i hurry to be near you
evidence that i cannot get enough of your mind
never have you been too weird or silly for me
intimate conversations we have over some cranberry lime water
nearby i wait for you to give me a sign
getting closer to healthy every minute

begin snow falling

beware the thoughts that
end your hopefull energy you must
get the idea into morning light after greeting midnight
if you do not open your eyes the dawn will find you anyways
not one more day or minute without you
shall be had unless the time denys it
nameless songs we sing
overcome by the changes that transfixed us
when the future is suprising
fate was just the name of a game nobody played
after the younger years there arrived a few swerves
listening to the wind stir up the tree
liking the feeling of taking time to compliment somebody
if you ask me i would tell you exactly what i think
not that it is different from any other day
grow to learn and love

good morning all

getting up all full of fire
organizing how to attack the day
offer the chance to make this way great from the beginning
don’t hesitate in taking care of yourself first
make every hour something your inner self wanted
open your mind up to ways to succeed when you
really stay aware and present in the moment
now that you know what difference it can make
include the things you are learning in every day
narrow time for your interests as of ten as you can
get every drop you should out of that canteen called life
aggressively persue helping yourself see things how you want to
like you know how much i care for you
like you want to live

temperature closed

turning the first month into the best month
ending the year in the arms of my dear
maybe we could do this every weekend
planning how to make you happy in
every way that i possibly can
rereading into all the signs i saw before
after all, it makes me crazy to think that
those times you weren’t on my side make me
used to the idea of recieving appreciation
rusting the positivity i spent years reinventing
extracting the reasons that you have become this way
coming across slightly unaware while you act this
loud, rude, crude, but mad if anyone tells you to stop
or you are suprised later when alerted how you were
supposedly being towards other people
evidence that a red flag has died
during our slow dance as we kiss

deep sky living

diving into the ocean up above
empty the mind as puffs of white go by
effortlessly joining with the blue aura
passing by all the stages of both depth and height
see this existence from the removed detatchment
keeping the rest of life from reaching
you when a time away is vitally important
like a needed escape
in the realm where only so many sounds exist
vital to the understanding of how small we all are
in the grand sceme of things
nobody is perfect but you sure are real close
getting to know you again has been a great joy

ready to stop speaking

reading into the
exceptional way that we want to decompress
as far away as the mountains are from me
driving to meet you as fast as i allow myself
your wishes are what i want to deliver
taking the path i think would be fastest because
of course i want to be there soon
sitting next to you all afternoon while
the tea brews and the room fades from light
offering the option of doing a whole bunch of nothing
permanent peace that settles on you like a snowflake
shallow pools of ice that wink at you from outside
playing games with the winking shine of lights
ending each day with you is the best when
all we have to do is get under the warm blankets
keep the comfort level just right
inside the hiding place for the evening
nevermind how many things we have to do tomorrow
get over here and under the covers and it all fades away

collected connections

can you get inside any quicker than this?
orange rays fading into darkness above
little frosted tips of the yard then you stand on a vent
letting the warm air rush between your toes
even as you pull the socks up higher yet the
collar of the sweater tucked under your chin
tiny nostrils deeply breathing in
emerging fingers whispering into the sleeves and
directing the hot air where to go
curling your feet under you and the fuzziness
only your smile can bring me out of the cold
needing to feel you near to the high temperature cloth
nestled on the last two inches between us
eager little furry friend who yawns because
cuddles are the only way to end a day this great
taking a moment to be grateful for this time
instructing the kitchen whats going to happen
offering you that great sauce and noodles you love
nineteen minutes, give or take a few,
should have been here with you long before now
