The first thing , have you….

 

Perhaps a question that….,

God only knows.

But I’m five beers down, 

and gone…now……

On the shots.

Alcohol,

has helped blur the memories !

But not the sounds in my head, nor the smell.

Hollow now,

do my words ever echo.

A missive not heard by all, least of all…..

By me!

Lonely man, with lonely heart, seeks …..

A life.

Have you got 

 

The time ….!

A Gentle Stirring*

In words it can be a rough start

We are all different 

Time can get impatient 

There is a gentle stirring* 

That comes in our heart 

But you feel the honey bee sting

When we fall apart start jogging

 

A gentle stirring-yearning-burning 

World around us is always turning 

Body and soul loving/missing/gathering

Observing/sitting with a cup of coffee 

 Why do some people get

what they want and others fail to see the

Godly- light what are we truly lacking

Clean slate stacking- we need

Power talking conquering to see

The world but wondering what will be?

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Greetings! life has its ups and downs but we seem to manage. I feel we are deserving people that want to see the good in us and others but sometinmes the world can be unfair keep positive stay strong there are always lessons to be learned Conquer the world

MAGIC OF TIME

They say that Time is magical…that she makes everything brand new

They say that Time can heal all wounds…but…I don’t believe that’s true.

 

I believe there are some wounds so deep…so sorrowful

that the best Time can do…is help conceal them…

for she knows no matter how hard she tries

she’ll never be able to heal them.

 

And though she is saddened when those wounds reappear

for she understands those moments will be rough…

she takes solace knowing all the other times

concealing them’s enough.

Young (January day 17)

 

every sunrise every moment

is as young as it’s ever going to be

no one can read the silence like me

so I may as well talk about

all the empty my blood fills

and I still sit here knowing

there are things I need to do

just to feel like I should,

just to feel this much.

Clocks

 

I placed her head in my hands
and laced my fingers through the patchwork of her silence.
Clocks can't hold you, Love,
but they’ll eavesdrop
and try to slip a limit on moments.

Unsaid

Folder: 
2019

There is too much left unsaid.

I can’t count the days swallowed by you.

I want to be wrapped in you so tightly

we forget what the air feels like.

I remember when we thought we still had time to waste.

 

I remember when I had so much time left here.

I drive home again and

she has outgrown all her clothes.

I don’t have to kneel to hug her now.

 

I close my eyes

and suddenly

I am old enough

to have old friends and old enemies

to have memories that won’t last forever.

 

When did we stop

measuring our lives in months?


I don’t want any of this to be unsaid.

fire fire fire

in the colors I can’t speak

 

I send it back and forth

on winds

I can’t have calculated

 

so it’s better to just

hope they stay awake

 

make me another lifeline

carve me another story

or I will spend every inch right here

 

sun blazing

now I’ve done it all

everything you can touch

framed in flames

 

I strike the matches, throw them

one by one

into the universe

with every handshake

I’m breathing you into

infinity

 

come on

you are all I can see

I send rockets to

collapse at your fingertips

 

come on

spray paint the world with me

I hope you stay awake

Timers

Folder: 
2019

I run on you like moonlight-

it is not something I asked for

but every time I step outside to a midnight

I forget how beautifully

it melds to my skin

 

and I don’t need

you, I need

to be a part of you,

like every time I come here is a beginning and

you are my timer,

this is the dream

I have heard them singing about

my whole life.

 

For years I have been counted as lucky,

counting the days,

counting down or up or both.

 

I have never counted this fast

I want as many half-asleep mornings

as many best nights

as I can get.
