Aggrandizement

It’s okay to feel tired
It’s good to take space
Find your peace
You’re allowed to
Not want to do anything
A whole lot of whatever
To just lay there
Ask nothing of yourself
Release the pressure
Blow the top
Wipe your lips
Of all the stress
Anything you feel
That makes you less
Takes away from
What it’s okay to be
Without requirement
To do everything
Answer every text
Respond to every email
Turn it off, release
Find your place in
No means for keeping up
Just existing is
Outstanding
In itself relief
Maybe the biggest
Thing you’ve ever done
That’s what’s called
Letting go

Oblivious

Can’t see me don’t know me
Oblivious to who I am and
What I need blind to my truth
Absorbed in your own needs
Blundering like a bull through
Life and everyone around you
Spacey unconscious and
Totally zonked whereas you’re
Forgetful to the point that
No one else matters and
Of course it’s sad
And of course we have
Compassion for this
But how do we survive
Around you when you’re
Out to lunch all the time
Negligent emotion waves
Goodbye to relevant
Feelings that are not your own
So no comment
What knavery!
All the strength and respect
Our connection embodied
You wrestled it to the ground
And killed it! Because
You would just think
All of us want more of you
When some of us
Need less

With Dream

Clearing my headspace
Tossing away the disdain
It’s beginning to feel
Like creating a place
Share one with another again
Where I can give of myself
Nothing left of bereft
Nor held back
What a world it could be
I want hope
I want feeling
I want destiny
With you I want
Nonsense without any jealously
No need for rescuing
Found finally in each other
A place
Without strings
Attachments to things
My feet are on fire
With dream

Should

I should give you up
But I don’t want to
Can you blame me?

It would be cheaper if I do
Let go of something I don’t need
Will you forgive me?

I wake up and you’re there
Before bed I’m aware of you
Would you miss me?

I wonder if you’ll realize
That I’m gone

I see you in every color
It’s almost been a year
Since we took off

I know I’ll miss you
A slave to your delight
Morning noon and night
Is it all right
If I replace you?

We have been through this all before
But not in the same way
This is different now
So wait…

I guess it’s not the same

Creating space here
Doesn’t mean that we should end
Entirely

But what we could find out
Is you are better off without

Me

Here comes a break for you and I
I won’t be angry if you cry
Please don’t be mad
We are connected
Even with space

Between us
You will see

Now is the time to pass the torch
To someone you will find
More worthy

Someone who can appreciate
The recreation you provide
Deep down inside
Decisions made
With a new breath

And you will rest
In hands of others
Playful means
