Bigger

I loved this about us
A vibe that was undeniable
No need to test the waters
Curiosity in my lap
We had it all
No looking back

In obeisance I bow down to you
To remind me of the good
All things beautiful like a flower
I drop my chin to the ground
In the glory of your morning

Retrospecting back at life I am
Honored to be in your inspiration
Blue eyes he said
She recalls your flamboyant
Nature floating around
Speaking your heart

What paucity are we weaving
In and out of these smaller than
Grand scheme moments
In one lifetime, one timeline
Did I wake you?

Did I give up on love?
Did we less it up?
Or was it the safest thing to do
Can it be bigger?

I miss how you loved me
Even though we were broken
I still dream about you
And what we once always knew
Oh, how we wanted together

Digits

In my experience some
People can do better
When they don’t get along
You focus on you
l focus on me
Bloody tears

Have a cry out at the park
Solemnly

This is the heart of my defense
Blank slate
Broken chalkboard
Gun powder on my heart
Bad television
Red eyes
Flashing lights

Spit out the bad
White smoke in
Black smoke out
Ooh ouais ooh ouais ooh
Left hand turn
Into oblivion

Remember how grandma
Used to leave the
Handwoven dishrags wet
In the ceramic kitchen sink
I would suck on them
When no one was around
Must not have been
Properly weened
Or I liked the taste of soap
That was put in my mouth too
I was so obedient
I can’t see what satisfaction
That could’ve brought her

Decisions were made
Developments crumbled
There’s no one coming
To retrieve you in the aftermath
You give your own self power

Remember This

Tonight is a good night
Some days are good
Some days are better
Than others
Tonight is really special
Filled with love in
All the right places
Heart throbbing
Happy to make it
Through the nights
That weren’t so great
How about a dance
While the crickets
Chirp in serenade
All in shiny black tuxedos
Freeing us from our past
Only new memories
The both of us
Creative passions
Hatched in Autumns’
Dizzy mystery
Assuring sights
For greater fields
To run our obvious obsessions
Through with the perfect
Release into what
We always wanted to
Become real
Conceived not in sin
But rather laughter
And the joy of
Obsolete wonder
That carries not the shell
Of how we dress ourselves
For the world
Walking down the footpath
Of every dimly lit street
But wide open
In the gaze of what is
More importantly
Our lightening hearts

What’s happening?
Every which way
This way n’ that
I love how you love me
No matter what I do
You see me
Through
And
Through

Remember the time
When I held you while crying
Remember the time
When I felt like I was dying
Remember the time
When we fell down from laughter
Remember the time
Happily ever after

Your words show
That your heart is a good one
Your smile shows that
There is nothing more precious
Than the sun

We’ve seen every part
Of each other
We know every
In and out

You are my reason
Not to doubt
That pure love is
A truth
A sanctuary
For recalling
Our youth

I love you best friend
That’s what we call one another
A love to no end
Always gushing

The sad side
The mad side
The bad side
And still
Our cachinnation remains
Never too good for the other
Never too much for each other

This is bliss
This is happiness
We are the twin of acceptance
Raging with love

Remember the times
We have to look forward to
