Imagination

Establishment
Based in popular
Coat colors
That look awful together
But keep you warm

Chickens that befriend
A self sacrificing
Meal to uphold
Their true bonds
In friendship are
Rooster worthy
The egg came first

Past particles of
Adhesives that never
Disappear but
Are occasionally good
For hanging things on

Even though it’s cold outside
It sure looks fashionable
Why don’t cold weather folks
Have clothing lines?

I have a thought
Lost in my nose
And my finger
Cannot reach it
The doctor says
It’s just my imagination
And that’s exactly why
I’m trying to find it

Eyes of a Child

In the distant memories of love
And lack thereof
I remember so vividly
How it felt to have love
Come and leave

Innocent and beautiful meaning
Painted subtly
In colors of casual truth
Pure loves intent disguised by youth

They remind me of a picture
Unlike any that have
Stood before me
In the eyes of a child
In your eyes like a child

Every night that
I lay down my head
I feel haunted
Beneath what magnifies
How I sleep
In a bed of love
My heart’s conceived

Still I have no desire to erase
Or to replace
What I learned from
Taking that step
I love more and more
And with every broken heart
I grow in depth

And they remind me of a picture

Nothing will be able to chase
My heart away
Or cause it to break
Too many times because
A fire inside
That grows deep and wide
Fills the left side
Fills the right side
With a pure love
Of more than enough
Take what you want
And I will be here
I will be here

To remind you of a picture
Unlike any that have
Stood before you
With the eyes of a child
In your eyes like a child

More

I’m not even sure
I want to see
What I think I’m going to
But I look
Anyway

Don’t forget if you ever need me
I’ll come running

Don’t forget you’ve warned me
Pretend you’ve made a bargain
You’ve got to live up to

As much as you want love
I know you need your freedom more

Your Heart

He focuses on her
She is ready
Their conversation is sensual
She says
“Ohh, that’s freaking leaking!”
The
Uh
“There.” He said, “What?”
Is it supposed to go like this?
Ya, where is the pick at?
It’s behind
Yah… over there
That ain’t gonna hold it down
No it wasn’t on there like that
I was gonna laugh if you screwed that up
“I wasn’t gonna screw it down.”
She said
It wasn’t like that I know
Look at you!
Wait! Here is where I want to put it
Right there…
Pop it on there
Okay there’s gotta be a hinge
To this somewhere
Where’s the flashlight?
It’s gotta be here somewhere
Let me see that thing
Just for a second
What thing?
Your heart

Make Me Want You

You make me want you
So much cause I can’t have you
Forbidden
I mean you know this right
Momentary or not
Could we just get it over with?
Super bliss
Have one night
Like touching a star
Would that be enough?
I’ll take my chance

With your permission
In ways we’re not allowed
Just to be wowed by you

Forever Enticing

Forever biting
Chipping away at
The best part of us
Unfolding all the truths
Learning every piece
Seeing how it fits
Deeper than sex
Could ever expect
To get

A combination
Sensual relation
Of the mind

All in good time
My dear

All in good time

We will see a bigger
Piece than both of us
That we create together
Forever enticing
The placement
Of two hearts
In one
Sharing one lung
Sharing one sun

You are fetching
My inner angel
Overlapping our cathedrals
Alluring the afternoon
Between us

Pianos in our eyes
Rolling on the floor

I believe I saw you once
Eating delicious figs
In a succulent dream
Three or four
Forever enticing
Our friendship
Beyond what stellar
Means

Lost Words

Different words
Hidden out beneath
Crawling up
From underneath
X-rayed
Like the awkward rock
That I turned over
We don’t know
What to expect
When we let go
Really ever
But we respect and we hope
To be accepted
To be loved
Even at our worst
Our most embarrassing

Loving the shamelessness
The deepest secrets
Our special shares
A person may not be
What we thought
When we find them there
But the learning
Of opening the book
Of the heart
Always taught me
To be stronger
More like myself

Judgeless

Giving permission to
Things we wouldn’t normally
Is a gift that is sometimes
Simply holding out
To open as flower
Of bared consciousness will

Found in you

Keeping away
What is that?

Tolerance
Vulnerability allows
Brain fog to lift
Captivating what is caring
In a completely open state
Spirit flailing
Only happens in the
Proximity
Of pure love

Open the window
To the better unknown

Kicking Herself

She’s kicking herself
Because she couldn’t be nice
Most of the time
I asked more than twice
Where did I go wrong
Maybe it wasn’t me
It’s so easy to say
It takes two to tango
The truth is obvious

Perhaps not this time

I bought you a shirt
I brought you a coat
I held you in winter
Supplied you with hope

I wish she could let me in

Her insides
Didn’t agree with me
Arguments ensued
Unexpectedly

Maybe just incompatible
Astrologically
I’ll love you forever
And you’ll live to tell
The stories of us
By our wishing well

Dreams of a child
Dreams of a home
These are all different now
Though not totally gone

Different dreams
And she’s kicking herself
For resenting my love
And she’s kicking herself
For resenting my talents
And she’s kicking herself
For not being able
To love me for me
For not being able
To rejoice in the stable
Sanity

I still love you
Just the same as before
The courts all decided
Our friendship was more
They call it a marriage
I call it a score

One up me each time
Gloves on or off
Always contrary
Believe me
I don’t want to fight
All I want is a sanctuary

Better off friends
A friendship not lost
Better off friends
And she’s kicking herself
For the one I would try
To create a small family with
Has now passed her by

But I am still here
To hold you my dear
Forever a soul companion

Just not a husband

Open Up

I ask the doors to open up
I pray the gates will hurry up
I ask the powers that solely be
To start the flow of majesty
I ask the doors to open up
I pray the recommended peace
Will soon commence with a quickness
Will soon make good from everything
I ask the doors to open up
I ask three times because I know
I’m not the only one who asks
I know that’s how the story goes
I pray the gates will hurry up
Return the symbol to freehold
Make good the overflowing cup
So mote the doors will open up
So mote the doors will open up
