Feet on the ground now so I don’t miss a step (except for when I’m falling all over my lover).
Practicing patience, keeping the inner-self still.
Present passing by, future slowly more clear. A rush and a push, we’ve come all the way here.
Take a second, take a minute, enjoy and u n w i n d.
A sudden rush of emotion
withheld, censored, eyes closed
immersed in the ocean
Clear blue skies, muddled intentions
breaking life open
skirting the law, another family tradition
The seams can’t be sewn together again
A rush of ambition, of love, of blood
“Quick before it all turns to dust”
A demigod among men, eternally lamenting
Vanity and insecurity tucked into their proper places,
Sunrise, sunset.
Friends and lovers past, a sea of half-remembered faces,
Sunrise, sunset.
Chances missed and paths leading to the roads less traveled by,
Sunrise, sunset.
Moon towering high ruling over night,
Sunrise, sunset.
Enduring fears dissolving,
Relentlessly evolving,
Without change we are nothing.
i
just want a little respect, a bit more consideration,
body – all pain and determination
ii
writhing in the sunlight, kissing the sky,
watching the tides rise and die
Cool clean air and remnants of the past line the avenues.
Cafés on every other corner, magic spent with a love that’s true.
Loves, lives long lost – extinct.
Enveloped in the winding hills,
Entranced by hazy blue skies,
Could use another week (a month, a year) away,
Lost in the city by the bay.
No regrets,
although, I have to let you go,
We’ve been together since …16?
hurt,
happy,
wild young thing,
and you holding me,
caressing the night air like silk.
Every time we’re together
I
fall,
choke on nothing,
head light,
s p i n n i n g,
Don’t cry my dear,
this is our sweet end.
