Because I love
With individual form
My concern supersedes
Any possibility
For something to be
More important
Than you
Your influence
Inspires my delusion
To enjoy the alternative
Ways I have to call
To dispose of my feelings
For you throughout
All different moments
Every shell and case
Has a different impact
All are capable of
Effect or none at all
Both

Be smarter than the pain
Above it all
The tentacles cannot
Take us
Into the pit
Witness this
What we put the self through
Above it all
If you allow it to get the best of you
It wins
And you are no longer
Forbearing
Sirens
Above it all
Signals of distress
SOS
Backronyms
To taking good self care
International codes
This is a tool
Above it all
To help make you aware
Save our ship
Save our souls
Si opus sit
Save Our Selves
Not to bludgeon yourself up with
Above it all
Squandered love
Dissipated desires
Want for more
Settle the score
State of emergency
Non reactory to things
Above it all
Emotions that are being
Displayed
Toyed with
Said only for you to react to
Find your own way
Above it all
Any unwillingness to rise above
Self infliction
Caused by
Social interaction
Cuddles demise
Mind the curves
Above it all
Focus is
Above it all
Bleeding heart
Above it all
Doesn’t it feel good to ascend
Above it all
What did we come here for
After all

Do the best that you can
with the time that you have
You say
Love the hardest you can
Especially when you don’t want to
We can
If you tell the truth as you know it
You will never have to defend a lie
Because
We all make mistakes
The more
We admit our mistakes
To one another
The easier it is
To make them
In front of
Each other
Inside
You’ll find a song
At the bottom of a well
That is holding a place
For you in a heart
My heart
With total acceptance
Will you send down
Your basin
Jump off of the swing?
I’m ready for
Our best beginning
Cheers

In the conduit of a journey
Exhausted rebirth in between
Redirecting over and over
From instinctual survival
We see the world as it is
Internalized by a
Singular perception
With a tendency to inflate
Bring back a humbled gait
One has much more to learn
Than simply rely on fate
An anthropological
Apollo brought this star upon me
But the hand that betrayed me is my own
How very old and human
A pause taken for overwhelming
Experiences of abandonment
Patterns of adaptation
Perhaps in
Avoidance to forget
Being forgotten
Even if we suppress or repress
Project distract disassociate
From the act
Any escape from dealing
With real life
Is still remaining detached
In a powerful default
Of energy
Unless we embrace it
How will we face this?
How do you feel inside
Do you feel empty when you are alone?
Are you trying to fulfill
These things on your own
Or in me…
Fear of abandonment
Can push you away
Codependency can
Play with your mind
To be on a diving board of
Disconcertiveness
Rewinding
For another persons belonging
Is alarming
Disproportionate amounts of space
Spring into a relationship haste
That leaves you hanging
Due to the death of a loved one
But
We can be alive together
If not for each other
Fight for the light
For whatever
We could have
Even as allies
The living
Looking forward
To what’s better
Symphonically connected
To the gifts that we discover
In this moment
Be the conductor

Stand and shine
Even in blackout
As the person that you are
185 steps to the bottom
Glowing from the inside out
Stalactites dripping down
Not just the picture
A cave of wonders
Beyond what people
Want you to be
What do you see?
Show us all
The inner painting
What you’re about
A masterpiece
Even in total darkness
I can hear the walls sing
Residuals of your heart beat
Silence articulated
Discreet
In a gallery of praise
For the minutes and
The hours that pass us by
Black light
Nightness
Darkfall
Completely dimmed
Aware of my surroundings
You are the call
I listen for
In a blackwoods
Of wild perplexity
The rarest nightshade
Truly most handsome
Total darkness
Has ever seen

There are many kinds of miracles
That happen every day
Big and small
Above it all
The miracle of friendship
Finding someone
Who listens
Someone who reaches out
To understand your heart
Will set them apart
As rare and exquisite
That’s you
That’s who you are to me
So Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
From me
And everyone
Who loves you
My friend

She inquires nothing
Everything systematic
All mapped out
Even her smile is planned
She’s already forgotten why
It doesn’t matter anymore
Just going through the motions
I am the serial wife
She says
The traditional wanter
Of impossible feeling
I am her over sensitive other
She doesn’t care
It’s just another
Something to
Ignore
To get over
To move on from
Head above water
A friendship wants to
Save itself
More important than
The title
If the fighting subsides
Then our hearts can reside
In a bowl of nourishing reunion
Our memories are our best assets
We will always have them to hold onto
This is our salvation
To rescue our love
For one another
Before it disappears
Forever
Making nothing into something
Always friends

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

Why is
Fear creating conflict?
I want to be
Part of what magic you are
Manifesting
Even a little
Can we adhere to be
Bound by love
Glued to the surface?
You are one hundred marks of the way
To an answer
I adore you
Vehemently close
To calling out the truth
A constellation or two
The name of the wind
The way I looked at you yesterday
How would you call my face?
Almost in love
Just a little bit hungry for affection
Thirstier than usual
Also scared?
I feel great patience for
Animals to finally speak
One day manifesting even
What we cannot say to one another
Today we are less frightened
Today we are more in love
Than yesterday
I have no discomposure
The distance between us
Doesn’t embarrass me
I find it’s calming exposure
Palpable and crystal clear
Swallowed up in our dark matter
Saturated by the time we shred
The opposite of dead
Convinced and alive
You furnish a table
For talking out
Many ideas
We crave
A brave and steady top
To rest our fearless spells on
In promised love

Frozen like a block of ice
If only you could melt into my flow
Into my arms
That can show you how to grow
Out
Stuck still in your own way
Afraid
Afraid
Afraid
No fear
Open up
Share your heart a different way
Give into the necessary shift
I’ll be here in the bed
Down the hall
In every room of your head
If you let me in
I’ll shine a light
Down your darkest of paths
All the mind shafts
Give you something to
Hold onto
Which ever way
You choose to welcome me in
Through the backdoor
Or front
I want to get to know
The real you
Trust is hard
Trust is hard
Trust is hard
But we can do this
Nothing to fix
Just a momentary blip
As we slip into a new
Reality
Together
