wish – Poétique

Earthwish

Tear myself away
From the memories
Total recall see it fall
From the back of my mind
Water the ground
A million times more
What are you running
Away from?
Are you afraid of the truth?
Flowers would bare only
Honesty each petal
Nature doesn’t lie

To have hope and feel
That it’s broken when
It’s just not enough
Is there ever enough
Are you too much to love?

Checking back
Never too tired to see
Mornings don’t have the
Mother behind the kind
Two birds would request
From the nest of a tree
Free from lithium batteries

Slow vibrations
In the earth rattle
A hard but delicate ground
Trembling a heart that
Craves response and
To be heard that’s the
Greatest escape

Saying things to people
Who end up being no one
Because they never affirm
Your words how devastating
Only to wish that the ones
We believe we can find
Hope in are also broken

Plastique

The stars were out
The sky was pitch navy
An inexcusably audible voice
Came through me to
Make a wish when I realized
Plastic flowers never die

All backed up against the wall
Akimbo in the corner hot lights
Burning at the back of my neck
Sweat but not enough to quit

I made a wish to be like
Plastic flowers last night
I could be my own Brahma
Create myself in the form of an
Inflammable anima
Psyche made of steel
Look pretty all the time
Never withering to feel

Eternal and majestic
Like the fantasy in a fairytale
Where dragons and warlocks
Are just a part of the background
No need to achieve more
Because the summit has been reached
Frozen in color timeless shade
Hanging or basking in the
Inability to fade is remarkable

No reaction to actions friends
Have haplessly made
Nothing is ever personal it’s just
A part of the story that the world
With two moons has accepted
As fate in the triumph of
Letting go of the blood
If commitment like chlorophyll
Runs through the stems and the veins

I made a wish last night

Promises

Have you ever made a promise
That was only a dream?
Imaginations that we wish
Would come true and in that moment
You are swept away with an
Impossible possibility to conceive
I tend to sink very deeply
Into people mostly all the way
There isn’t a lot that I don’t
Feel comfortable getting in or
Close to even if it means
All the work will disappear
From beginning to know you
From vulnerability and fear
If it’s a fantasy of promises
Then let it be like science fiction
To both of us because to be close
You have to actually be there
Not just standing at the edge
Of the water throwing a bottle
With a message hoping it will
Arrive at its destination or even
Into the hands of your beloved
Sometimes a promise is a dream
If not to purée our feelings and
Drink them we must feel them
Out loud even if they cannot
Become true in the end
Imagination how silly
To go around smelling
Daffodils and lilies
Oh how I wish

Wishing

I used to love to sing
But I’m not singing anymore
Nor playing the piano
I also favored a good run
But haven’t run in ages
I wonder sometimes
If the pavement misses me
Hiding in my shell
Wish that I had someone to
Wish about at the wishing well
Someone to
Love or recognize the things I do
There was a time before you
Now it’s eerily quiet outside
And my mothers cold recants
Often make me laugh
If I could follow the path
Of my mind I might find
The nectar I’m trying to write
Into words a sweet pulp
Or guide like an
Intelligible handbook
On life

I Wish You

To say it
This is difficult
My blood is thick with love

Your about as convincing
As a rattlesnake
That has been taught how to purr

I wish you
All the torches
Of the underworld
And beyond
Yet I also wish you love

To see your way through there
Snowflakes in hell

My headless horseman
Thoughtless choices

You’re such a paragon
Of sanctity and
Sarcasm

If you need to prove
Your power
Please do it
Somewhere else

And the words you choose
They loose all their
Momentum

Expensive suit
Authentic boot
Materials don’t matter
It’s what you do

Actions speak louder
Than your words

Interesting
For instance is a word
That one would use
To describe
An awful tie
That somehow
Ended up in a box
On Christmas Day

But still I say
I wish you peace
I wish you joy
I wish you happiness
And more
And most of all
I wish you legions of pure love
Oceans of hearts upon your shore

I wish you love
Like you have never felt before

Permission

He gave me permission
To touch him
I didn’t for fear
I would lose it
We shared a
Telepathic energy
Between us
Interrupted
By dual outside
Source souls
That are now
Non-existent

In prevalent nature
Ours was escaped
And so I see
It mattered not
If I took the opportunity
To honor his permission
To touch him
For whatever reason
I was protecting
What we had
Now lingers
Untouched
Absently
