Happy Birthday

There are many kinds of miracles
That happen every day
Big and small
Above it all
The miracle of friendship
Finding someone
Who listens
Someone who reaches out
To understand your heart
Will set them apart
As rare and exquisite
That’s you
That’s who you are to me
So Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
From me
And everyone
Who loves you
My friend

Always Friends

She inquires nothing
Everything systematic
All mapped out

Even her smile is planned

She’s already forgotten why
It doesn’t matter anymore
Just going through the motions

I am the serial wife
She says
The traditional wanter
Of impossible feeling
I am her over sensitive other
She doesn’t care
It’s just another
Something to
Ignore

To get over
To move on from

Head above water
A friendship wants to
Save itself
More important than
The title

If the fighting subsides
Then our hearts can reside
In a bowl of nourishing reunion

Our memories are our best assets
We will always have them to hold onto

This is our salvation
To rescue our love
For one another
Before it disappears
Forever

Making nothing into something
Always friends

To My Dreams

There is so much
I want to say
But I cannot find
The words today
I’m gonna leave it
All up to my dreams

I lay my head down
Fore I sleep
Thoughts of you
Will slowly creep
Into my heart
Dancing in and all around me

Now here they come
All marching high
Conversations
By and by

How could it be
You glisten me
Somehow
It’s difficult to see
The words I want
I think it’s time for me to sleep

So here I am I’ll close my eyes
Letting all the feelings rise
And leave the words
All up to my dreams

Dispelled

Why is
Fear creating conflict?

I want to be
Part of what magic you are
Manifesting
Even a little

Can we adhere to be
Bound by love
Glued to the surface?

You are one hundred marks of the way
To an answer

I adore you

Vehemently close
To calling out the truth

A constellation or two
The name of the wind
The way I looked at you yesterday

How would you call my face?
Almost in love
Just a little bit hungry for affection
Thirstier than usual
Also scared?

I feel great patience for
Animals to finally speak
One day manifesting even
What we cannot say to one another

Today we are less frightened
Today we are more in love
Than yesterday

I have no discomposure
The distance between us
Doesn’t embarrass me
I find it’s calming exposure
Palpable and crystal clear

Swallowed up in our dark matter
Saturated by the time we shred
The opposite of dead
Convinced and alive

You furnish a table
For talking out
Many ideas

We crave
A brave and steady top
To rest our fearless spells on
In promised love

Break the Ice

Frozen like a block of ice
If only you could melt into my flow
Into my arms
That can show you how to grow
Out

Stuck still in your own way
Afraid
Afraid
Afraid

No fear
Open up
Share your heart a different way
Give into the necessary shift
I’ll be here in the bed
Down the hall
In every room of your head
If you let me in

I’ll shine a light
Down your darkest of paths
All the mind shafts
Give you something to
Hold onto

Which ever way
You choose to welcome me in
Through the backdoor
Or front

I want to get to know
The real you
Trust is hard
Trust is hard
Trust is hard

But we can do this
Nothing to fix
Just a momentary blip
As we slip into a new
Reality

Together

All Around You

Not all the wealth in the world
Can clothe a human being in love
Look to the infinite
Universal healing
Love that is all around you
It is free
You were born with it
Inside you
If you still can’t find it
I will hug you
Come and find me
Or tell me where you are
And I will meet you there

The Difference

I suppose the difference
Is me
I imagine impossible
Possibilities
I want what makes life
Easy
To come to me
To come to us
But I feel also helpless
Almost boring
Not because of you
But because of me

Goodbye to being
This carefree
It’s turning into
Thinking about
Too many things
That’s what being alive can be
Even unintentionally
To try thinking less
And just being
Sounds very comfortable
But not realistic
Wait and see
I’m hopeful
I’m happy we had this moment
I feel a bit like timber
In a forest full of trees
Fallen down
Quietly
Or leaning
Heavily at least
Towards you

Why Do You?

Why do you tear me down
When I need you to build me up
When will your insecurities
Stop stealing all our love
Why are you so reckless
With my feelings
Why are you so clumsy
With my heart
It’s like you have no awareness
At all for the fires that you start
What about the moments
You’re tearing us apart
It’s no wonder I don’t want to be touched
When you constantly hurt me this much
This song should really be called
It’s All About You
Your insecurities fly away
With all our feelings
On a plane

I just need a cloud to rest
My heavy heart on

Finding Me

Feeling forced into a situation
But fighting to save it
Two very different dynamics
Working against each other

What does anyone say my dear?
Where am I?

Who is this?

You don’t have to respond
You aren’t required
Skip over the hurt knowing
That if we focus on the negatives
The positives divert-

Paint my nails yellow
Hang in
Hang on
Don’t recreate the moment
Wait for the moment to come
On its own

Kiss someone if I want to
Feel good about it
Be myself
My whole self
Completely
And see what happens
That’s…
Something I haven’t been
In a long time

How intoxicating

Therapy

She says that she
Is an empath
She isn’t picking up on
My signals

Assuming incorrectly
She doesn’t ask
She is making
A decision
To get better

Might as well
I mean hell
It’s much more comfortable
In therapeutic congregation
Than having
An uncomfortable
Conversation about it
In real life
Truth serum
Is too blatant

No one wants to be called out

Nowhere to hide
From the furrow

Embrace the woman
You’re becoming
And not the child
You used to be

Lest ye burrow

Caught up in wanting
To do something about it
Rather than just doing it is

A contradiction
If you’re tongue tied with
The people standing
In front of you
Who want to understand you
Who want to love you

Help me find the cure for you
Like a medicine woman
Healing every cell
Of your alcove
