let me down easy

let me down easy

lay battered limbs

down softly

upon a feather bed,

a deep plush nest

tucked in warmth

swaying in forgiveness’s arms

thermometer of my heart

beat down the walls

to be rebuilt,

break apart

the pieces

that need be forgotten

and let me down easy,

lay mingled limbs

down softly

to start anew

skies

relinquished gestures rendered...

sincere

soft, the lips of heavens whisper

breeze brushing slightly

to pitter-patter the earlobes

of unease

forthcoming the rivers, of anticipation

changing course, the time-watchers error

bequests enchantment,

dreamers barer, the eyes of the sun

warmth hindered there

beneath savory sins

you can not bear

trollop along, squalling vanity

reflection not of mirror

seek to the skies

reflected in waters

it is there

found, bequeathed.

We is Us

love.

as i am.

as you is.

as we are.

completed.

you is me.

me is you.

us is we.

loving me.

loving you.

loving us.

loving we.

we is us.

lovingly.

Another Blow

sinister gods of the universe

preparing, diligently

come forth

another...

blow, blow, BLOW!

all-encompassing

oblivious, scattered minds

feeling safe

blind-sided

by fates...too many

wrongful duties

to of which is the purpose?

insight to thyself

knowledge

good, not enough

bad, be of plenty

growth...

endured

each blow,

strengthing

knock down, no more

hurt, no longer

existence

forthcoming

One

you're here

inside me

nothing soft about it

a blatant blow

torpedo typhoon

stirring up

dramatic ends

tangled in the web

of which our relationship

stands,

fast and furious

time provides no lines

no bounderies

entwined in weeds

i seek to run free

but you are there

running with-in me

The Now

it is the here

it is the now

it is

what it is

rummaging

through existence,

remembrance

clutching to

what could have beens

might have been

was

is

euphoric matter

compiling continued

what can not be undone?

substance

it is the here

it is the now

Seen

i see you

the insecurities

need for attention

love,

hidden behind your smile

i see you.

believing hoping

you see me too

together, bound

intimately

unspoken unforgotten

captured, each moment

photographic memories

i see you.

please know,

there is no reason to remain hidden

for we are all exposed

open to the inevitable,

free to live life

in this moment

this age,

with you, i see.

i see you.

my love,

i set you free

spread your wings,

fly

together in harmony....

let go...

with me.

as i with you

eternity together

we shall be free

This Moment

Eerie strength resides
Power
Will of mind
Physical glee
Running amongst
the wild creatures
Tamed to no one
Conventionality outspoken
Free of poison
Clean and clear
Rising high
as the midday sun
No past or future

Soaring
Here

in this moment

I am free.

Fallen Pride

she stands tall

on top of the world

a tierra of pride

placed upon her crown

long nights and aching hours

lost oppurtunities of love, friendship

all paid off

she speaks eloquently, diligently

thankful of the acknowledgment of a lifetime

goals beget goals

success insued

she descends her platform,

prideful, graceful

thousands watch in awe

how fortunate she must be

head held high, smiling

one step in front of the other

tripping,

falling,

tumbling

down the stairs

one, two, three, four...

bottomed out

many rush to help her

yet she rises, gleefully

laughing at self

looking at the gasping audience

she takes her bow

The End.

each ending brings forth

new beginnings

but, i ask,

has anything really ended?

lying there,

mind seeking refuge

to say good-bye

so sad, the meaning

why not, why not?

see you later

see you soon

in the teacup of my heart,

how you fulfill me

a teaspoon of forgiveness

a dash of respect

just a pinch of regret,

when new beginnings

relinquish the end.

forever, ever-after

the past stays close to home.

the heart that you long for,

is the place, i call home.

i let you in,

i let you in

the heart,

it does not end.

I Love You

'I love you too,' I reply, 'how often must we say it...?'

'Not enough,' you smile, kissing my tender spot

'....but, how often must we say it,

for it to come true?' 

'I love you.'

Reflection

Reflections in the air

each sunrise, sunset

casts a glow

of memories

not yet forgotten

an empty shell

eager to be filled,

set upon

the waters edge

searching for reverence

compromise, unyielding

as you blow away

each memory box

each day,

each night

a reminder

close your eyes,

little one

let strength in vulnerability

rise

seek not the answers

nor the demise

but lavish in the existence

of emotion

Wishes

if you wish

year after year

blowing out candles

finding that first star each night

closing your eyes

in somber silence

praying

wishing

with all your might

blowing kisses

to seal each wish

wrapped in hope

it will

one day

come true

be the believer

may fresh wishes

wash over you

falling upon

persistant dreams

conquered

Leave a Message at the Beep

thank you for calling

i'm sorry i missed your call

perhaps, once i am buried

i shall return

to avail

the remembrance of

'once was'

'could have beens'

until that moment

i wish you

to forget me not

restless nights

forsaken days

emptiness

fulfilled with empty calories

binging on lost oppurtunities

lost words

never spoken

never forgotten

longing for the embrace

not easily replaced

an appreciation never mustered

boils up to fester

yet reaching out

you get this voicemail

best of luck to you

i know i've always been a dreamer

but, please do

leave a message at the beep...

beeeeeeep

Crazy

blowing madness

to and fro

captivating mind

bask

in self awareness

as you amble through

life

crazy is

as crazy

does

facsinated there

in self-play dough

shape and form

disfigured beings

to skip amongst

common crazy

for it is not i

but universally

chaotic

crazy
