Blue



"Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one." --Voltaire

blue
vibrates
water
and reminds me
of wind chimes
glass
lazy in
suspension

gardenias
cystaline
sugar
delicate
paper

I let
it take me
I was told
there is
beauty
even in
loneliness

intention
is the road map
and actions are the road
You have to enter
into someone's world
to take them out of it

blue angels
breaths
rapsody
shivers
shakes
the silence

nothing
worth anything
changes
right away

quiet Sundays
of coffee
and maple syrup
Newspapers
falling
folding
into
themselves

there are seven
days in a week,
and someday
isn’t one
of them

I like you,
you say
what you mean
and you mean
what you say

You’re a
true original

every time I light a fire
in my life
you find a way
to burn
the forest down
I wear sunblock
to remind me
of the beach

like I’m
stuck in the kodak
I love the picture
nobody else around
except
echoing footsteps
and the blue

the tides
pulling
and pushing
the moon
It’s a bad night to be alone
but that's the way it goes
sweet
indecision
In your eyes
they say
this is living
there’s nowhere
to go
when you got
nothing to do
some beach somewhere
there’s a
beautiful sunset
burning for you
there
today
the atmosphere
is good
taking refuge
in your reason

we don’t know
why  were were
here
but you
walk with me
in the storm
shelter
in shelter


let me
tell you
a mystery
In the shell
of your
ear

we’ll all be
changed
in a flash
in a twinkling of an eye
at the last trumpet
in the end
doesn’t everybody
just want

to be good?

~Door~



the moon
tucked into
the ground
suspended
honey
slowly dripping
away
Into
purple clovers

just remember
you can  see the stars
and still not see
the light

heaven knows
it wasn’t you
who set me free
we were
just dancing
between
the embers

we live
our life with chained lies
not realizing
we have
the key
easy come easy go
don’t look
at what
you can’t see
Look at what
you can

invisible
for the last time
fingertips touch
in the dark

watching you
watching me
could this break me
fire and wine
kisses
use me
again

rain
It’s been steady
like a fallen angel
feeling the hunger
of the sky
again
and again
If you
give me
your armor
you can have my heart

Take it from me
darling,
you don't
want a heart
sometimes
stay a
tin man
for now

sounds
are bright
and the
colors are loud
the sunset
in your eyes
I don’t want
to rise

If it
doesn't open,

it's not your door

~Safe~


"Time is simply how you live your life." - Craig Sager

my thoughts
are racing
so fast
I can’t
catch them
I’ll kiss
your demons away
because
I spent my life
fighting mine
every demon
was once a kind angel
before they fell

a love like that
only exists in stars
love doesn’t fall
in your lap
you have to
go out
get it

because love
loves past
Imperfections
why
would you sit with me?
whirring stirring blurring
It's been
all over
and it's been
all over you
everyone
just wants
a safe place
to hide
untill
they’re
safe inside
where can we hide?
we,
the orphans
of the storm
knowing
we have a secret
we will never share
