It sounds sad
But it’s not actually
Watering the world
Around us
Pouring anguish
Out of the heart
Eyes won’t stay open
Just to think about
Love in a completely
Different way
I am
Remembering what
I thought it was and
An absence of my
Heartbeat
Somewhere in between
Less skipping
More tripping
But the intensity
Is driving fiercely
Wake up
Wake up
Is anybody home
Knock knock
Knock knock
Phone home
I want you I need you
I love the deep
It’s all a fantasy
Unreal
What I had was
Exactly as
Beautiful as it was
And what we wanted
Was almost there
But also waiting
To hold you
Holding me
Holding us

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
