Hopscotch Lines
A long haired girl
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life
As...
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life

And It Keeps Coming Back to This
Doesn't take a few
to make me want to call
just makes the urge stronger
somehow, I've fought it off
drink in hand or not
playing, replaying those songs
that make me want
or want to cry
or both, which is the real sweet spot
no matter what
I end up drunk on something
And I could crawl
don't mind spending time
on my knees
but there's nowhere to go
other than my bed
where dreams of you wake me
leave me shaking
with the phantom of your lips
not quite brushing
against hungry skin
whispers...

I am
I was worried about you
What the hell happened?
I'm sorry I couldn't go with you to the Highlands
I hope you are alright
Did you not see me crying?
I have no advice, besides live your best life
from the mouths of our teachers
we all learn our lessons
The purpose of life
even eludes the masters
I am, I am
a master of nothing
I am, I am
I’ve been working a lot, lately
Sorry, I’ve been busy
I hope in time you’ll find a way to forgive me
I know it’s been awhile since we’ve...

Good-bye
I respond poorly
to ultimatums...
That is why you should
not make them...
They cause me to
harden my heart...
Should have warned
you from the start...
Regurgitating past
conversations...
Further escalating
ongoing agitation..
Arguments have fallen
on deaf ears..
My eyes are no longer
shedding tears..
You said see what
life is without me...
I say thank you for
setting me free...
Because I would have
dragged it on for eternity..
Never wanting to admit
our love was not...

once in a memory
Once in a memory
The boy played by the small stream running near the hospital
where his mother was a patient and time hung heavy this
afternoon in late September.
The boy picked five elongated leaves from a bush on each one
he put a pebble wanted to see if any leaf/boat survived
the voyage to where the stream went underground.
One leaf made it and should come out where the seaport is.
Once the stream had run free and rapidly crossed the green
field where elderly horses grazed, after a life of pulling
heavy carts, the lady who owned the land...

Can't help but smile
Even if it was only
for a little while
he melted our hearts
with that big ol smile
He stood taller than most men I've seen
and if mad,
man he was meaner than mean
He was smart, keen ,clean
and sharp as a tack
if you did him right
he'd forever have your back
He was a grizzly bear
with a lambs spirit
If you had to get
something off your chest
he'd be the first that wanted to hear it
He loved too much,
everything and everyone
this is true,
He'd give the shirt off his...

GRAVITY
You and me
We aren’t the definition of
Gravity
We aren’t the embodiment
Of all we see
We aren’t the magnets
Forever pulled
By the earth
To the sea
This isn’t you
This isn’t me
This isn’t space
This isn’t how you measure
The distance between
You and me
This isn’t how you give me
The distance between
What you see
And what I see
You and me
We aren’t the guitar solo
Vibrating in your chest cavity
We aren’t the thumping bass
Pounding out reality
We aren’t the songs...
We aren’t the definition of
Gravity
We aren’t the embodiment
Of all we see
We aren’t the magnets
Forever pulled
By the earth
To the sea
This isn’t you
This isn’t me
This isn’t space
This isn’t how you measure
The distance between
You and me
This isn’t how you give me
The distance between
What you see
And what I see
You and me
We aren’t the guitar solo
Vibrating in your chest cavity
We aren’t the thumping bass
Pounding out reality
We aren’t the songs...

Formalities
I wrote you
in a moment of sadness
the same crazily alone air you breathe
still feeding my blood
with your smoldering star
remembering
when wisdom and truth
stood hugging farewell
through their separate exit doors
hearts remapped
by the circuitry of love and unlove
sighing lonely
in the gallery with time's jaded applause
wary of dollar sign snares
worthless yet worthy of ruin
dreaming the last dance of all
and it's our very last dance
so sign the papers
and be damned
in a moment of sadness
the same crazily alone air you breathe

sighing lonely

Hey there
Hey there
As I sit here reading emails about good wishes and holiday cheer.
I wonder why it is only sent at this time of year.
I am only thought of, liked or loved within reason
for those few short days around the Christmas season?
I like to think that I am kind and good,
And possibly a little misunderstood.
But the reality is that I am as much to blame
For playing the “holiday cheer wishing” game.
I don’t take time every month to check in on family and friends
Just to say, “Hey there, I was thinking of you today”.

Deepest Regret
it's hard to define, I could say I wish I never took the time to get accompanied with certain people. And feeling just momentarily, a feeling of betrayal.
But if I'm completely honest, I regret not letting them each see why it's beyond foolish to take that simple minded opportunity. I regret not planning ways to permanently make an environment worse than death for them each. Personalized to each of them, just to show how carefully and attentive I was to essentially learning everything about them. Particularly their weaknesses, or things I could use to steer them to their demise. I...
