Luminescent water
Reflecting colours of tomorrow
Tells the story like tea leaves
Manifests resilient decadence
At any pace without a metric
Need to arrive at any specific
Time just when it comes
So in the interim the immeasurable
Divine mechanics cohere their
Turning and we show up
As the curtain opens in
A foretelling destiny had been
Predicting all along

We could make love all day
Around the apartment
It’s quite simple really
Take a break for some toast
The cat is napping
He won’t be disturbed
The dog is happy
He’ll not be perturbed
We could make love all day
In the apartment
The rain is coming down
So perfectly whilst the light
Is creeping in and soft is the sound
Like your skin also glowing
Certainly brightens the
Room so subtly highlighting
Our bodies reflecting
The imaginary colors of the moon
As we watch the
Steam from our hearts rise
I can see the shadow of
Your outline fade into the dusk
As it crawls away
From the perfect day
We could make love
In the apartment if
You haven’t anything else
That’s keeping you at bay
I’ve a piano and wine
The food here’s divine
No rush waking up by the way
We could make love all day
In the apartment so hey
Let me know if
You haven’t any plans
Or just text me when
You’re headed this way

What does it mean
To stand alone?!
After many months, years or days
Of people pleasing
Or simply wanting to do right
By others and somehow
Left out feeling weaker
Than I was before
I think I finally found the strength
To stand beside myself
Knowing that
To be true to yourself
May leave one standing alone
But not without feeling
Stronger about the innate power of
Our own emotions shuttling through
Striking a chord of harmony
Warning us internally
Of what ultimately balances
The two halves of oneself
Into a convexity of dangling
That hangs inside a universe
Which has no linear relationship
To standing up together
Or alone at all

I’ve always been the good boy
Or so I thought you see
Doing my best l keep the peace
I found my balance
I just never had enough people to
Reject me openly in my defeat
Now that I have more discouraging me
It doesn’t feel so bad
Do I continue to rack up
More dissatisfied people
Than I’ve ever had?
As the number grows
I kiss my old friends goodbye
But I also rest in peace
Because I know in silent hallways
New friends are to be made
I am not on guard alone
To protect myself from
Another disappointed home
Moment event by moment
My heart is openly exposed
A new horizon
And I’m prepared for you
Every possibility to
Be less than what you need
I’ve always been a good boy
Or so I thought you see
Doing my best I kept the peace
I found my balance when
I accepted that nobody’s perfect
Least of all absence
Least of all me

It’s cold and dark
Like emotional blackmail in here
Helping the less fortunate
Especially when it’s yourself
Can be impossible
The teachers discussed him
So now
The teachers disgust him
Similar sounds but
Different problems
Are any of us unloveable?
Maybe if the macaroni
Hadn’t gotten burned
Everything would taste better
Just like if wearing boxing gloves
Means we have to fight
Maybe the distance between us
Means we won’t have to
Fight at all
Or maybe we could fight
For them all

Oh how it sucks the air out
Takes the breath from the body
Distinctively vacuums away
When the people you love betray you
They will hurt you again
You will hurt me again
If I let you in
You will hurt me again
If I let you in
You will hurt me
Again and again
Did I accomplish anything
For the vision of this life
Were there to be something
A little more predictable for me
To be given the difficult task
Of trying hard to grasp
At a love with you
At a life with you
At the bare minimum
A friendship
But my hands are left grasping
In the interest of my own death
To finalize the breaking
Of a heart you truly never loved
To finalize the tearing away
At non existence
Sweet persistence
Towards non existence
Sweet persistence
Towards non existence
Insistant persistence of me
That leaves what is left dripping wet
Sopping damp with courageous tears
Did I accomplish love
If not from someone
But for them all
Did I accomplish love
At all?

Can you be generous
With my heart
When I crawl out from chrysalis
A fantastic overview if
Maybe we could take notes
Mind bending material
To apply in our modern day lives
With ancient wisdoms
Consuming all like light
Without rejecting or accepting
Our compassions exhilarated
By negative situations
I can see in all directions
And the sound of emptiness
Is the source of all my words
Telling lies in order to please me
Don’t be silly
Is it too late for
What I wanted
After all

Wondering winks
Hands grab
Final distinct
Between my teeth
Acting like grownups
The night comes fast
Pulling up the covers
Hanging out our feet
A perfect gravity
For stretching
Love for each other
In marvelous ways
A mighty rage
Breaking into perspectives
Of perspiration
Adult decisions
Wet on the skin
In all the light
Of dreaming
Softly in these sheets
Faux feathers
Plush beneath
Our heads
Scarlet sins
Naked wins
Lush lyrics
Pillared in love
Underneath

Sometimes extended
And appearing
Like a song
Or a story
Sustainable arms
Like the branches
Of a tree
Standing inside
My own wood
Sharpened perceptions
Aligned edges
Accepting heart wisdom
From beginning to end
All that is before
And after in

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
