why
dropped into silence
who do I write these words for?
they are part of me

not specific
as I watch you run
always to where you are not
live for distractions

...........................................
I struggled with this one
too much to convey
in so few words

I feel we don't find
ourselves in new places
they just open doors
to places already there

bats
twisting and diving
to dance with a gold washed sky
twilight laughs gently

just
below the surface
simmering blues burn through me
desire in check

I find that...

sometimes
the weight of friendship
falls on me so heavily
I can hardly breathe

twin
in space between worlds
we are thought concentrated
effervescent light

flash
do we ever stop
looking for our reflection
every strangers eyes

awash
breathing in the blues
while I am grounded with green
sky drips from my hair

passing
right now words seem deep
like the sake in my glass
clear as the full moon
...........................................
I know the difference
sometimes each is needed
to be aware
even as the
awareness
is taken
away?
yes

pulled....

tides
inside I feel it
without looking at the sky
impending full moon

hunt
no words caught tonight
they skitter out of my reach
leaving just these few

stripped
pinned by those dark eyes
your life sears up through the depths
my skin burns away

again
laughing at myself
tangled up with my own words
I trip over you!

pleasure
there they are again
deep waves crashing over me
voices and music

yes
here comes another
I slide under the green waves
drowning in the sound

................................................
so wanted
so needed
suspended
in a moment
endless
we are
here
right
now

it is...

preferred
they circle like sharks
trying to get in my head
I leave with myself

to be...

present
it has entered me
with a quiet so profound
vibrations of life

always...

distractions
surely there is more
yes, I have felt it, seen it
the world drops away
...........................................
I have reached a limit
there are too many
people in my life
I care too much,
cannot detach,
neglecting
the reality
of who
I am

take away
receive
give

I could hear it...

tell
this morning, gently
a green breeze slid through my door
stories of summer

I am learning...

acceptance
I stretch and I scream
my head bangs against your wall
should I even try?
......................................................
when do you stop trying,
to find someone who
understands you?
does it matter?
do you just
be who
you are
meant
to be?

yes, that is
the answer
breathe out
breathe in
and it will
fall into
place

see me
right now
clearly
that is
all I
am

night wanders...

presence
they follow me home,
the mountains, with quiet steps
ladders to the sky

stand
there, my patch of sky
a window over my head
with stars pouring in

continually...

amazed
and what can I write?
open my eyes, it's all there
layers of learning
.........................................
once again,
where life has led me
I am speechless
coincidence?
absolutely
not
