Loving Cup

Encomium lighthouse
I want to praise you
A bolt of lightning
Gorgeously strikes asunder
Ghastly love in broken parts
Put back together
Am I having a failure
Depression of sorts?
Where is my brief moment
Of emotional shorts?
My excitement
My frisson
My passion is living
Anything for a weird life
If it means climbing
Up a fire escape to
Get to you
If it means
Sliding down a fifty foot pole
To rescue you
Is my brain now in twain
Am I going insane?
Is there any excuse that
Could help bring me closer
To the truth that is us
With my neck tilted back
Facing up
You will find that my eyes
Are on watch to be
Filled to the brim
With your loving cup

Cup of Tea

I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
I want it to last
But I can feel
It closing in
Hopelessness
Forgiveness
Slippery perfection
I want it to last
But it feels like
It will end
Candles burning
Outer space
Is next door
When I know
The end begins
One chord
Two chords
Three wheelhouses in
We can stand under
The light
Even though it’s
Going to end
For as long
As you like
One cube
Two cubes
Three sugars in
Cup of tea with me now
Even though it’s
Going to end
We can have
Time at the beach
On the boardwalk
In the moonlight
Watch the sun descend
Out of our reach
At sunset
Tick toc
I see the clock
Turning and
Clicking till the end
Along the way
It won’t be long now
Before the miracle
Will end
Let’s enjoy this moment now
For as long as
We can

Cup of Possibilities

Lack of a two step plan
Leaves me with a lot of
Don’t just say it
Because you think it’s
What I want to hear
I crave what I know can exist
But have no evidence
Of such bliss
Just tiny fragments
Of assembly
Or mirror images sparkling
Like crystal shards that broke
And fell down from the frame
Of which they came
And then were somehow
Glued back together again
Onto the dress or the suit
Of an other
On a garment
That looks back at you
Like the stars do
Glimmering with
Desire and hope
A small favor
To ask from a big
Cup of possibilities
