Runaway

He says she’s amazing
So he can remind himself
It was a good choice to
Be with her id est marry…

Pedestal to chant everyday
Into bankruptcy for affection
Whatever you say dear
Was something
Better than nothing?

Laughing she placed
Her hands around his throat
Ready to choke the life out
Truculent at its utmost
Super physical

Let’s get it over with
She beckons him to the bed
But really wants to finish
Before it’s started
Sex is irrelevant to her
Close to dead

A bigger star
A bigger sun
Can be won

Frame it as an opportunity
To learn what true love
Can become after the storm

Spontaneity

He never used to be so structured
Like he couldn’t have a spontaneous
Phone call before just pick it up
Why must everything be so scheduled
A bad habit he acquired from some
Long lost friend along the way

My gawd just to have someone to
Do it with to share the bliss
For even fleeting moments to
Feel the light of exchanging in the thing
That you’re doing because it’s
So much more delicious than
To do it only for yourself
Even if it can be done

Stepping in and out of the garden
He could feel both the end and the
Beginning of something real that
Had already happened and was
About to again but the timeline
Inferred a lot of when when when
And the moments of waiting were
Written in the dictionary as
Inescapably endless

Capture confidence in each other
In the face of a rose and the sun
In your eyes when you smile
Although I’ve yet to see that while
All the evidence of a new tomorrow
Lands in the home of our beloved
Untold future which hangs under
A moon of passionate unknowns
A reverie for spontaneity

Hackneyed

She gave me stability
Whether it was right or wrong
Something to hold onto
A thing to fight out
I had no value for turmoil

If I had chosen differently
Would I not want this?
Is my singular existence
Less than what I pictured
For myself then or now?

As I walked forward
The pink sun kept going down
In flashes I could not keep up
I saw her face longer hair here
A spirit guide?
I’m not sure but I wanted to avoid her
Still she came towards me
Not the one that I was looking for

She noticed the fast diving
Pink sun into the sea as well

Then without refrain or warning
Threw her arm around my neck
And we were walking together
Not sure who she would become

Many footsteps first over
A security fence and then down
Down, down into a
Greyhound bus station
We watched a man push a table
Picnic style out into the courtyard
From inside but kept walking

Not our circus
We were still figuring ourselves out

Into the airport and her flight
Was conveniently the same as mine
So I invited her to my friends house
Where we fell asleep together
I awoke to a see her in
A much shorter afro
What a gorgeous shock

When had she time for a haircut!
No matter it looked nice

I found my music equipment and
Decided to play a song
Not long before a band had jumped in
To join me in the living room
But it was over too soon
I was nervous anyway
I play the piano not the guitar
Still I would try
But not before someone
Invited themselves
To take my amps

We started up a game of cards

Frustration settled in soon
When my surprise was my demise
She was leaving as expected
She made new friends
No new news there
And I would be holding back
To ponder and gestate
Feelings of despair

Somehow I knew this
All from the beginning
Standing in the overview
Of a drowning pink sun

Morning Muse

A cool morning so brisk
Walk upon my yesterday and the
Shattered expectations are like
Frosty glass over the ground
A quiet stroll in canopies dark
Keeps peaceful moments
On the brow if to believe
Having alone time is a thing
On an earth filled with so many
We have to catch a place
Where we can commune
With the stars and with the moon
Find our logic that is buried
Deep beneath the noise and
Chatter of a daily grind
The lip of the horizon
Is burning pink where the sun
Has come to consummate
Today which was tomorrow
I kissed the pillow half an hour
Before I woke and thanked you
For being here even though
You are a shadow of my dream
You smiled and held me like
A vapor betwixt in sleep and
Cradled thoughts
I’m not completely resolute
On who you are

September

Cool breeze refreshing
Pink sun bathing me
Tomorrow is today again
Later the sound of loss
Reminds me of hope
The smell of alder wood
In the air welcomes fall
It’s only September
Still we can sense
What is coming in
Vibrant colors on the ground
I recall that the train ride
Wasn’t nearly as long
As I imagined it would be
The scenery sped by
Heat and flies
Legs swinging over the edge
Of an endless valley
Immeasurable vociferous depth
Like the weight of a stone
In your gut
Flowers come and go
Parading the moon
Emotions waiver too

Tumbled

Tossed around
Side to side we are
Backwards and forwards
Counting down
Living up to
What the night sun
Has to offer
One bird is in the distance
Echo of my voice
Ears ringing the memory
To be held up
In some esteem
Worth holding
Cradled in my mind
By the ether

Sun Rise

I can see the sun rise
In your eyes
What a bittersweet flame
Warms the heart
But cannot chase the parts
That are deeply reaching
Like stretching for the sky
To feel the blue
Inside but not to actually
Touch it
I can see the amber light
Glowing round the edges
Of your eyes
Your ivory smile on the
Ridge of my lashes
So close to feel the warmth
Just far enough away
To befriend the breeze
Whisking over and around me
Highlights of gazing yellow
Fluorite gemlike streams
Glistening wet your eyes
Are shining in the night
And though the outside whites
May be reflected in
A moon like serenade
A quiet horizon of gold
Remains in flames
I can see the sun rise
In your eyes
