Meaning

Maybe I’m keeping
A broken dream alive
What veracity!
Ode to truthful pleasures
The exterior is pristine

I think you would be proud
Of what I’ve become
And
What I’ve done

Garden flat
All though you may never have
Really cared about that

Neighbors said they
Liked the flowers
The garden is my sanctity
Does it also count
If it’s only me?

Attraction
Connection
Companionship
Something to do it for
An us factor to share
Are we holding onto
An idea for something

They were all contending
For his attention and love
But in the end none of them
Truly adored him

It was a trophy
Something to win
Someone could say
I got him!

What would it mean to
Genuinely love him

Courage, Justice
Temperance
Practical Wisdom
Restore the flow
Show Who’s Who
In life
Sometimes We Win
Sometimes We Lose
As long as you have
Done your best
There is literally
Nothing Else
That Can Be Done
Therefore, Feel Peace
About the effort
Accept the result
With equanimity
Mental and emotional
Stability and composure
Especially under stress
Or tension
General calm
Yet and still
If the result is good
Don’t become
Arrogant or conceited
It could always
Go the other way
Easily
Slip and fall
Crack your head open
Pulling your teeth out
In distress
If the result is bad
Don’t let it effect
Your sense of
Self-Worth
It’s the idea
Of what really is
Truly yours
And what isn’t
Achievement of Ataraxia
An inner tranquility
Resulting from knowledge
You have done everything
It was in your
Power to do
Let the chips fall
Where they may

Scenery

If to possess the druthers
Some sense of control
A scenery
Comfortably greeting the rest
With open arms and
No detest
Maybe we don’t know
What life is
Strange
Why shouldn’t every body
Explore ecstasy
Let’s just say stuff out loud
Without being afraid
If offending one another
Because love
Because adoration
Because intimacy

Fire can also make art
Where to begin
From the beginning they said
What do you know
How many roads
Lead to the path
Of sensual climax
Maybe in a forest
Somewhere under cover
Too many passions
To resist
So many moments
To outlast

A fragrance
A little rain
Every particle remains
Exploding out into
A disarray of color
Some sort of
Euphoria unexplained

Reminisce

There were sparkling sands
And an attempt to taste a
Drink concocted of herbs and syrup
To make a delicious potion
Of what others would find
Inviting for love
At their lips

A pause and a need to
Bury our loved ones
Hold onto remnants of them
And still keep the power
Of the crystal separate
What would such magic do

What could spring forth
Forged in a time vacant of
Predetermined outcomes
Just present instance

That did it
Sold deal
What did it?
You and me here

What’s the analysis
If the outcome doesn’t matter
Lots of words
Too much chatter

I’d like to
Seal the deal with you

Eudemonia

Jettison black smoke
Starting the day out with
Tension wrapped around
My heart

Unwind me
Lick my cheek
Save me from the bleak

I call your name
Naked underneath these
Clothes awaiting your
Affection

Plunge yourself
Inside of me

No holding back
Look at all the happiness
In the cherry blossoms
Surrounding us

It’s spring
Match my fever

My body is yours

RTS

Return to sender
I cut the cord
I watched the light
Draw back into me
Recoiling also away to them
Luminous breaks
I walk into the darkness
Accept the branch
On the ground
Fallen from the
Cherry blossom tree
Up above
Take it to the end
Walk to the
Barren zone
Snap it in half
Shamanicaly walk
Away
A spell was cast
A spell was broken
Now at last
The words are spoken
Inwardly
Release me
To myself
A new chapter
A different story
As time passed
Many things I could
No longer do
Pushed away
I felt myself
Constantly wanting
To escape
The dogs were
My victory
What does it
Look like to find
Someone unlike you
Who will love you
Unconditionally
Long ago
A spell was cast
A spell was broken
Now at long last
The words are spoken
Inwardly
Release me
To myself
Rendezvous with
Renewed destiny

Beleaguered

Don’t be chary to step forward
Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
People can feel your spirit
When it’s dimming
Just as they can feel it
When it’s shining
Around you

If you never had the desire
To be something amazing
Burning inside of you
It may have been easier
To accept a mediocre light

But if you’re burning
Deep and bright inside
And you can feel the flames
Licking at your insides
For whatever is the next
Astronomical moment
In your lifetime
Then the tears are real
And the journey is strong
And may be long gone
Before you have the chance
To look back and know
What you did
See what you’ve done

Past the doldrums
Of doing everything perfect
Making everything right
In your slice of paradise
Room for error room for dust
Room for make up sex
And arguments

But mostly space for
Newness and second chapters
Letting go of past relationships that
Have run their course and
Making room for new ones
Along the way
Others in time
Come what may

Vibrations and drums
Keep moving
Don’t stop don’t give up
Find the next story in your life
Open the book turn the page
That will give you everything
You know that you’ve got
To experience
Give it several shots

Why are we cowering
When we don’t have to be
Hiding in the shadows
Beleaguered by our thoughts
Stand up strong staff in hand
Conduct the weather
Future endeavor
Hurricanes of persistence

Find your strength
And tap in
Passionate footsteps
Stronger together
Everywhere eyes wide open
Heart pouring out
Life is too short
Don’t do without

Ormolu

I keep writing
I’m still beating
Fluently flowing
Holding out
Holding on

Crevices and curbs
I could be
Sneaking into or
Waiting on

How many corners
How many eyes
How many smiles
Until I find
Yours

Used to have wishes
Stars to make love under

Wanted to travel
Get closer to you

How many more times
How much less sand
Dripping through
My hands

Your waist
My arms
One chase

Mauve maybes
Tomorrow glances back
Over your shoulder

I can feel you
Without touching

Sensory overload
Endless chalice
Simple thirst for
Eternity

Wet

Vouchsafe

What is the future without you
And what is this duration
Contemplation of the afterlife
And how many hours
To get there

Milk blue sky
Passing by the path of
What is life and what is night
Morning after think of you

Wake up to reality
A dream I’ve been waiting for
Breathing is like memories
Of laughing in a loft
In some apartment
I was privileged to
Lay in your arms

Wait about two more days
See how it feels when we
Hear the birds singing
Tomorrow

What is war but nothing
When I know your love is there

You can have my
Vulnerability

Συννεφιασμένος

Help me journey beyond the
Familiar into the unknown
A malléable promise
In my most xenial character
A generous glass to hold
The contents of my heart
Blue tiled star
Black sky

Fair amount of feelings
Wavering carelessly
In the air

Tip the head back
Warm water poured over
Heavy blanket of heat
Silver lining

Forgive me for wanting more
Needing less only
To hold my breath

Requesting clarification for
All future endeavors

Nothing sour quite yet
Blue jeans and momentary
Strings attached

Wet the whistle on
Cloudy days
