smiles beginning

Do you choose the music you wrap yourself in 

Or does it choose you

How does it begin

I’d lay bets you reach out

With willowy fingers 

And some silken spider’s web smiles

And ensnares you as you thoughtlessly smile back

Coaxing it close around you, knowing you’ve no need to grasp

And this music and this you and this ease 

Finds us ensnared in the silk and the silly

Smiles beginning

I Want

The seams of you
May those burlap threads burst
Spilling the uncontainable, genuine joy

The gleam of you
May those eyes forever hold ease
Radiating the wonder within

The dreams of you
May those hopes find their home
Visting the soul steadfastly 

So Friend

I love you
Don’t tell anyone
Since exactly a bit after half past 1am
When I was awakened 
I have been waiting for daylight
To tell you
And now in the night again
It feels late 
But it’s time
I told you 
Good Night

No Place

This isn’t just any journey, is it

Where a global position or place

Will help us know we’re home 

Hand now a part of the heart to the empty space

Where we’d only been ebbing around the edge

Turn and flow fully into this day each day

Tell if that doesn’t feel like home 

The word of a friend

Gaze North

Should the universe allow
I’d still not have the courage
To stand here next to you
And ask the winning vow
Again
Would you Boy Of Summer
Strive hard not to suffer
The fools should they surround you
And fail not to pick up pen
My friend 

 

Final Breeze

Posted on by

I have love
For the sunrise
Of a place I’ve never seen
A place that doesn’t know my eyes exist
But believes they must

It must be enough that I wake daily 
With the vision of my beloved 
And not the warmth
When I feel the final breeze
I want none other light in my eyes
