Now And Forever

The last breath taken in a single
heartbeat, holds the memories
made in that given moment
and whispers it for all of eternity.

stick a fork in me

I'm sitting in the dark, music blaring, hiding for a brief moment from the pain; uncertain how much more I can take.  Enough tears have been shed to end the drought that's plaguing the Country.  I'm beyond ready to start anew....
Writing is my life line, and I am beyond frustrated that from all of this chaos, I have not been able to write a single word...

But then... a little light comes in...........

Is There Really A Time And A Place For Everything?

Bent over my lap thinking
about things that shouldn't
be said, but probably will;
because a tongue without
reins, never follows the
rules of proper procedure.

Embrace

Every thought I've ever had
or feeling, felt; she's there
     in the thick of it, as if
          she were there all along.
In the early morning hours

     alone, in the dark when
the shadows taunt and
scream, spinning
around my head, I feel
     the breath of her soul
inside of me; burning
          the pain into ashes

and the wings of love
     take flight;
        
          taking me away

     from my memories
of misery.

Have a little faith.....

Classified

When you see him
with fingers tip to tip
blanketed in darkness that
covers the weary expression
from blown out fuses;
don't be a bit surprised 
if upon closer inspection
you find a fat lip
from words thrown
harder than a fist swingin'
fight at the corner bar;
in the back room, of course.

Existence

Interestingly enough;
Home has always
been a place
where my many hats
rest.  But
now, it seems
to be wherever you are;

which of course is hell,
when the lights aren't on!

Funny: Words and their meanings

Crush: v  To press, break, injure, crumple or rumple.  To pound or grind into small fragments or powder.  AND...
Crush: To like someone a whole lot...

Hmmmmmmmm

I say, "That's Nass."

She says, That's Nice."

I'm slow and droll.

She's precise and wise.

Together; We're everything.

Breathing

Awhile
ago with a collapsible
kick stool, a note
book and varying pens,

a gallon of water
for whatever thirst
may arise;
I climbed a small

gentle mountain
Alone
to get a better view
of the possibilities; unseen.

obsessing

----- When the world swallows you whole, the least it could do is to give you the courtesy of belching -----

Saga

I write about you, as if you were a memory
because I'm sure I loved you before the light
of the first star ever reached the earth.

And I'm more than sure that as I sit here watching
the swaying trees in the passing storm, I see
the history of our entangled embraces,
that not even death could separate.

Juncture

I wonder if it's possible, the reason
for time
is only to tease me about how much
of it
I've missed with you?

tick tock. 

TiCk ToCk.

TICK TOCK!

In a whisper, I gently request; silence please.

Loudly. I yell
the only question worth asking.

Is.

WHY?!?

Ragamuffin

Laying under cover for much too long
Waiting for the break to snap
On the other end, that won't even bend!

Your first sunrise lies deeply in a heart.

Ruin

The tide, crashing into the

Rocks that hold the sea

Below the edge of tomorrow

Along the straight and narrow;

Washes away the landing

For the next soul to find himself drowning

Inside the lure

Of her hypnotic swirl.

The Hanger

    In the dark, little room
 where the door is closed
            most of the time
     to the contents inside;
            the hanger waits,
holding up
the shit layed upon it
like a martyr bent on it
with a half smile when
a wrinkle ruins your day.

quietly

alone;
the breath
of her soul
permeates
my existence,
with no less
resistance
than her
hand in
mine

Blown Away

For the strongest foundation

with the greatest percision

the bricks were picked

and stacked upon

the other with

out  regard

for   the

cement

that

                            holds           it             all                            

together





Wild Life

As I sit, professing to be sane,
looking through the pane
on the edge of my stump;
I'd fall with the greatest kerplunk
if I saw the absurdity of a deer
looking down his nose at the dearest
of rabbits; Merely for the fact
he's too small to be tracked.

neglectful

..........sigh..........

the toast is burnt;

happens every time

something seems to be

more important than

nicely toasted bread

............................

Em'urge

After a night of years, the sun rose
upon fertile grounds, quietly
beckoning for a seed to be planted,
watered, and nourished; without imposed

stipulations of benefits to reap.
With the crop she offers, I shall waste
not a moment to taste the deliciousness
of her bounty; where she will sleep

under a sky of new heights
with the warmth and security of love.
Her soil I will tend for evermore;
where fear will no longer rule her nights.

The Not So Secret, Secret

My words of "wisdom" to the 19 year old young lady in my life; who despite the desire to connect with others, she just can't let herself trust: 

"I'm going to let you in on a little secret, Every single human being that has ever walked the earth, or that ever will walk the earth is stark raving mad!  Some people are just better at hiding it than others. 

So many of us deserve an Academy award for our performances of not only trying to convince others, but ourselves of our sanity.  But the truth of the matter is, being honest with ourselves and with others by just being ourselves and trusting that the right person will come along and just, "get it", would save ourselves a lot of pain and heartache. 

In the meantime, start out "acting" like the person you want to be just for an hour a day.  Gradually add on more time over the next weeks and months... and maybe, just maybe you'll wake up one day to find yourself living that life.  We're all so busy thinking we have this huge secret of being totally crazy, and if anyone found out about it... we'd spend the rest of our lives alone.  The sooner we realize that craziness is just part of the human condition... the sooner we will be happy and comfortable in our own skin!"


I only call these words wisdom, because I think a light bulb went off in her head.  She managed to stop fighting herself (and me) for just a moment to hear me; and she smiled, her eyes lit up for that second in time and she felt hope.  But, (there's always a but) her demons snapped her to... and we had to run through the million of excuses WE ALL waste too much time on.

Romance

Every damn day
she professes her love
for the drink right there,
in the open street; Alas!
Yet, I must become
a beggar on the corner
holdin' a sign that reads;
will do a trick or two just for
a hug or a kiss from you. But hell,
my soles are worn from the travels
I've made to get a wink, the drink
didn't seduce you into.
.

The Waiter

It is beyond HOT!
In a T-shirt 'n shorts
Every hour, but still
The heat is all I can feel
Outside the hallway
That echo's inside its loneliness;

And oh! I should mention,
The blizzard has yet to cease.
And the telephone? It freezes
The easiest, I think.

Im part; Of You

Collecting the remnants left outside
of herself; for reasons she can not abide,
her chest rises in measure, allowing
it to flow deeply inside
if only                                for a moment.





Pregnant in the denial; exhaling slowly, wow
her thoughts that kindle the flame without a vow
but still, no less intense in a subtle utterance,
from parted lips caught and understood; and now
she waits                                               for awhile.

Shhhh

With me, you are not alone... Ever! Once you've captured my heart (and you have), I will always be there for you!

Yep! That's how I roll....

Indication

Everyday, for weeks now
Right around noon
The rabbit, wrapped
In stripes of grey
Sits by my window
Just inside the shadows
The hovering tree casts

Straight through
Half the room,
Until the sun lowers
Just enough to reach
The darkness, swallowing
It all in a single gulp;
Leaving the thirst unquenched
                                       

at midnight sharp

I will not succumb to
the sharp edge of the
night, beckoning me
to shred the loneliness
to pieces.
I CAN stand
on the edge
without
bleeding.

cut it out

laying back, hands up
surrendering to her wrath
only to save her ass
she ties the weight
on my shoulders
double knotted
i don't fight it
sinking, drowning
deeper and deeper
still, until
i'm out of sight
you have no right
my knife can cut
through the damn knots...

hmm

Trying to write today, not succeeding.  The quiet is insanely loud... or maybe it's just my thoughts...  Why am I feeling so cray cray today????

Earth Shattering

Deep below the surface
two or three feet
or more, beyond
the line of vision

No doubt!

The shock waves, off the
Richter scale of the
impending quake
shake relentlessly.

Can only imagine
the after effects...

Blue Suede Shoes...

I want a pair...  Call me a dork, whatever!  :)

I think I would be awesomely cool in them!!!

On The Line

The ring alerted me
a smile elated me
from hers.
Standing Up, I walk
to the edge

Diving straight in
For 26 minutes, I
hold my breath
as her words
sustain me...

The Florist

If on your path, there's not a flower
in sight; to stop and smell

Always know, I deliver...

The Guardian

In the silence, I hear her screams
the loudest, when she
doesn't know
I'm listening...

In the reality, I see her dreams
the brightest, when she
doesn't know
I'm watching...

In the stillness, I lead her to dance
to a rhythm played
only for her, when she
stops to notice...
