the guardian's journey
she's a guardian
and takes it very seriously
there's one in every family...
...if they're lucky
the one who cannot NOT step up
can't walk away when they're in need
unable to resist their heartfelt pleas
silent or otherwise
this is she...
she feels their hidden pain
sees it in their eyes
especially when they try to shield
she knows...and goes
even if it's only to listen
sitting with them
taking away some of the pressure
long enough for their strength to regather
she's a healer...
trying to heal decades...

Intense Nature
No, no, don't get me wrong
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you

No Man Shall Know You The Way I Know You.
No man shall know you the way I know you. I am the way the ship and the helm. I am the forgetting of them. Their touch upon you is superficial, yet mine is so offical. I am the deepness of your seas and it's ripple. I observe you like the sabbath day. I am a student of your being I am the way. I am the trumpet and it's sound. I am erasing of all others. You hear me you are forgetting them now. I am the sea of knowing you, and all that embark upon this sea will surly drown. I am your throne and your crown. I am the King of your ring, the best pound for pound. I am your future and your past. I...

morning in Happyland
morning in Happyland
As the night dissipated and the modest dawn came
seeping into my room, I looked up to the ceiling
a black cloud hangs over my head
I moved the cloud to the dark/brown wardrobe
where it blended in with the skeptical color.
The closet is very big and empty, I sometimes walk into it when I remember things from my youth, that I ought to be ashamed of; I said “In my youth” These days I have lost the ability to be dishonorable in my daily life, or I have developed the shield of honesty and there is nothing to be
inglorious about. ...

maybe just a little humerus...
my family has a communal closet
crammed to the rafters with bones
everyone is afraid to touch it
worried if even one is dislodged
they'll all come tumbling out
nobody wants their dirty skeleton seen
but every year fewer members remain
not as many making new deposits
and I can't help but think
perhaps it's time for spring cleaning
just yank open that door
and let them all scatter as they fall
picking them up one by one
discussing their origin
maybe laying a ghost or two to rest
out of respect
for the moment I...

Looking
I haven't found love
I haven't really truly been looking
I've been telling myself that I have
But that's not the same
Is it?

Imagination
Curiously I walk wistful thought
daydreams on an ivory keyboard
lingering among eavesdroppers
listening as the doorknob turns
for what is life without a ball and jack
clinging to the silence of intimacy
littering the night with luminosity
memories ago in your glowing eyes
giving my best to redress yesterday
for no particular reasoning
a moment from a stolen thought
lingering among eavesdroppers
for what is life without a ball and jack
daydreams on an ivory keyboard
lingering among eavesdroppers
listening as the doorknob turns
for what is life without a ball and jack
clinging to the silence of intimacy
littering the night with luminosity
memories ago in your glowing eyes
giving my best to redress yesterday
for no particular reasoning
a moment from a stolen thought
lingering among eavesdroppers
for what is life without a ball and jack

love on the high seas
He was a happy man, had passed the catering exam, and got employment as second cook on a tank ship
To make happiness perfect his girlfriend had a job on the same ship, keeping the crew's mess hall clean.
How long was Adam in Paradise?
The fall came in the form of a mellifluous-voiced sailor
that had a call of love she could not resist and after work
she listened to his vocalization until one evening she stayed all night before going back to the cabin she shared with the second cook.
Pale and devastated he came in the galley to...

Page one hundred and ten
And I miss you like the dessert needs the rain .
He whispered to himself hoping somehow those
words could transcend time and reach the other
side . He believed that they did so this became
his daily mantra . He wanted her to know how lost he felt forty five years down the line and now he felt like a school boy at the first day of term . Satchel and pens but he was sure he’d left something behind him . His eyes thoughtfully caught her reading book and glasses on the side by her chair . There was comfort in that bookmarked at page one hundred and ten . He had wanted to...

Balance
I want to hold
you like I would a crystal
glass gently but with
a determination
That I don't smoother
or smash your rainbow
prism of your own
enlightened soul
As I think love is a
balancing act of holding
On and letting go .....
Giving and taking
but not in excess on
either side . Love
hangs in the balance
divided by two not
just one .
