Merged

Posted on by

I believed, I believe, in you. I touched the edges of the shadow of you that I found myself in.

I knew, I know, you’re on purpose. I was promised a plan and your arms just so happened to reach ‘neath my path.

I wanted, I want, to walk onward. I treasure the somehow-spilled-from-you pieces as I journey.

Remain Nameless

Will you let it go
‘Though I grasp steadfast

Will you take your gut to task
Grit your teeth
Tell yourself, Enough! I’ve won!

Will you entertain my fear
Smell my blood
Hear my defeat loud and clear?

Will you let me lose
Less than I deserve

The Earth
Was never going to rip itself from under you
Nor was the Air ever planning
To flee from your lungs

You weren’t waiting for the Universe
And all it’s never going to tell you 
To telegraph you
Were you?

What, just what more
Do you need your perfect eyes
Asymmetric emeralds
To see

Yellow like Buttercup

Yoga class
A dark, dark street
At the end of the line, please, please, please
My first Home
A Trek not for the faint
The seat of power 
Christmas but not really
Where the mountains meet the sea
At school one day on a lark
Christmas for real this time
New Year’s for sure
With a porch swing
In the mailbox 
Around every corner
God knows where else I’ve forgotten 
I grew honest 
I grew proud
He was there and you were where?

Settler’s Call

How has the ivory tower 
Set itself up there on high
Beyond the plains
Above the mount’
Out of the reach of the sky

When will a true breath be breathed
Brimming with sanity’s sake
Down here on earth
Walking the line
Needing none magic nor quake
