No Clue

There is a cat a dog and a bird that accompany me
They remind me of how much life there is to love

Each has their own voice and here I attempt to find my own
The glare of the past shadows their sweetness

I’m living a life that I could be taking for granted
My inner voice asks if I remember how I got here

A bright but grey morning inspires a joy that begs to be lived before noon
Even if it’s impossible
The smell of pines firs and fragrant needles reminiscent to heaven

Swirl around back and forth between my ears which are too busy listening
To notice
If a thunderstorm should shake the earth thoughts would form dreamscapes

I could have wished for this before the alien ship dropped me off

Chosen family a beautiful garden and all the music

What do we know about where we came from!? The clouds above form shapes that answer questions to who I am

But still nature appears to know more
If I could have picked this life to live before I was born into it
I would have chosen you even though I have no clue to your appearance

I would look for you in the hammock chair reading outside in our private garden
A completed picture
The necessary part that shares the memory I can’t look back on
Without you in it

Humming

Subtle song
gentle waves
gorgeous muted
still tongues between us

Silence or surely they’ll find us!
hiding here
quietly in our love

Sent to smoke out the beauty

Come hold my hand
tip toe
whistling lightly
into our great escape!

History

You don’t know me
Very well
Perhaps not
Well enough to tell
That I am
Genuine enough
To say
I love you more
Than words can say
Literally
More than anything
Okay?
I just really want
You to know that
We can write
Our own story
To find you
Tugging at my ears
To make it
Absolutely clear
When we discern
Untitled words
Bon vivant to lifelong
Twists and turns
Dreams all come alive
Spirited inherently
Dreams all come alive
Everything is temporary
Dreams all come alive
The rest is our history

Love Dream

To be in love with
Something or someone
That is as close as
You can get
To the one that
You had hoped to love
To feel
To share one breath
Even if it was
Only a fantasy
And you never touched
The person you’d
Been dreaming of
And yet
Though you found a lover
That is mostly the same
Almost in all gestures
In their face
In their words
In their eyes
To fall in love
Differently with
But almost
Exactly the same
In their hair
In their scent
If they smile in that way
Is it close enough
Not really
So what the truth
Becomes reminds
Us that the fantasy
Was never
Real anyway
In their hands
In their embrace
In their feet
Would I want
Someone to love me
If I wasn’t their
First sweet(heart)
Would they
Eventually love me?
Different scenes
An old video store
Someone else’s
Silver screen
When the affection
Is delectable
And real
The kiss makes it
Hard to reveal
Leaving to wonder
Do we love them
Or the person we
Hoped them to be
If we are always
Yearning for the
Thing we
Wished we had
In love to be

Chevalier

Dark embittered thoughts
Early morning on the rise
Laying with my ruminating
Trying hard not to disguise
Their uglinesses
Face it to face it!
Where is my dauntless knight
To shield me from the
Mornings’ fright
There are so many
Bones to pick
I am only one person
My narrator
My storyteller
Where do all the scenes
Rise up from
Is there one thing?
One thing only
That can wash away
The droning
The haunting drops?
Is there something unspoken
To empty out this brain?
Fountains of roses
Waterfalls of comfort
How can we reach around?
Where is my knight!
Rescue the harmed ones
Deep in my dreams
Float out of the chaotic
Nightmarish scenes
Open my eyes to
One more morning
One more day to be alive
One more day to be untied
Rattle all disturbances
I’m ready to fight
For my joy
Bring me my knight!
Shining armor
Made of magic and steel
No more bones to pick
No more stones
No more sticks
Maybe the astral light
Delivers me to you
Riding in with strong winds
Galloping against grievance’s
Castles not coffins
Bliss has brought sadness
A gift of deliverance
A kiss goodbye
For whatever forever
Might look like
To a knight
To a best mate
To an erasing embrace
Of blue harbored drama
Start anew
To see my reflection
In your eyes is
To feel the freedom
From my minds’ misdirection
Dark embittered thoughts
Early morning on the rise
Laying with my ruminating
Trying hard not to disguise
My instrument of forgiveness
Wield your sword
Within the veil
Sever morning and nighttime
Where is my dauntless knight
Shield me from the
Dawn of fright
Your strength erupts
The bubbling of my heart
Unbroken and protected
Behind your chainmail
Cotte de mailles
Translucent perception
Face it to face it!!
Visually perfected
My storyteller
I wake up
To the distraction
Of your smile

Archaeology

I want to make love to your voice
Nearly stardust in your chords
Grandiosity of creation
Alas not in a hurry for excellence
To be patient is to call out
To greatness

Like a lost tomb my heart
Lies untouched and undisturbed
By the chance of grave robbers
Heart stoppers and passion killers
To be dusted off by the echos
Of the most exhorted breath
Of love

Inside glimmering caves of hope
A buried light that was protected
For a journey into the outer realm
Of indicative miracles
There is a galaxy unhinged
By a romance that is promised to
Puzzle and cure us in
Strange and beautiful ways

Hands wrapped and intertwined
Bodies spooning and charged
In a metaphysical light
Our sound together as one breath
Inhabits momentary shelter
When bound together in ancient
Tether stretch and reach
Around the bend of
The last universe
Left intact with rosy splendor

Up down in out push
To reach you from behind
And carry you further than
The distance of a possibility for life
An existence filled with love
Excavated by your touch
I can once again
Feel love

Anymore

Are you evil
With all your friends
Or just the ones
You want to miss the most?
Devouring all innocence
Hungry for more hearts
A secret cave
For killing love
Black eyed
Black heart
Ignorance plays
A solitary part
A bit like getting
Shot in the ass
I just wanted to connect
But I was met
With a world
That was too busy
A face that was
Too pretty
Your absence
Makes you guilty
To the murder of
Our friendship
Your silence is a
Criminal impersonation
For the deceptive one who
Used to plan their
Destination into my arms
Pretend to be there
Pretend to charm
But what you really end up being
Is alarming if you think about
What we used to have
Think about love
The meaning of flowers
Funny how nobody wants
To think about that
Anymore

To Another One

Like a dark tide
Wading low out in the distance
There was no comfort
To keep me on the shore
So the dark blue
Electric feud
Calls no one
The bleak empty sea
Of our past memories
Swept away with today
In a boat of irresolvable
Friendship
Not even the
Illuminating scent
Of our past
Could be unsunk
Whatever moon was meant
Whatever time was spent
Whatever sun descends
On the horizon
Of what we once possessed
We will no longer commend
For what we cannot apprehend
To close the door on one love
Is to open up the heart
To another one

Knock Knock

It feels like it’s ending
Counting petals
My pillars are crumbling
Point blank
I can sense the
Softness of your skin
Between your fingers
Are you hiding
Underneath the bed
Another forest somewhere
I’ve yet to tread
What will it take
To find you
Rebel to myself
Sweating profusely
Not from panic
Drenched only in my
Thoughts of you hard knocks
Maybe I’m enjoying it
A little too much
Though I’d prefer
More than a cool breeze
To take me to my knees
More like your heartbeat
Knocking at my door
Any clue what time
You’ll get here?

Unsure

How did you break into
My chambers glistening ants
Feasting on my heart
Solitary path lambent
With somber strides
Gliding up my legs
An enterprise of sacred light
Despite the solo climb
Remains a less treacherous
Vine to propel and travel on
Widespread enveloping
The sky before we die
A theater of mystery
And a mouthful of clarity
I am defenseless
Against your wishes
I wear our shared emotions
Like a coat that I can
Take on and off
Too much to handle
To cold without it
It could be a windfall
Of feelings to be catching
Before we truly know
What it feels like to be in pain
If it’s in the absence of a love
We are unsure how to feel
