East coast.
Lost in my daydream again a drowsy equinox. You and I together tangled within light, a slow-motion reel Our fingers shake slightly dragging against flesh Nerves running, not only from touch but feelings too. Old sayings about butterflies in my stomach, like gravity giving way Floating along between open kisses, Eyelids shut from blinding light, We longed for time.

DayDream
Alone again, outside on this ragged deck, trying to sleep. shhh goes the wind dancing though the trees, the world is singing me a lullaby. The black lifeless water on the bay is now swaying to a song, The wind is blowing now, making frothy white amongst the midnight black, Lights from the other side of the bay look like silver and gold sequins split on flowing silk. The light from the moon and stars kiss the ground almost fooling me to morning. I do not know where I am going; where I come from; where my life is headed; but as my eyes close I have a smile on my face. I know that right now, in this moment, I'm as close to perfection as humanly possible. My last thought before slumber.

Thoughts from a Balcony
Laying down alone, looking over the water whose black glistening depth I do not know. I think of our love; how passionate and true we are, how unwavering and pure it can be, and I wish. I wish upon the light on the lake, the tropic breeze filling my nose, the light wind kissing my skin. I wish on my life that we make it, that I make it. With someone who has qualities and love as true as yours. I lust you, every chance my mind gets to wonder.. I lust you, I need you , I can remember the feel of your hands touching the inside of my leg. I can feel your breath on my neck. I close my eyes and know your kiss, so passionate and fierce my whole body becomes weak. You're the one man I've never been able to break from. You're the one man I can't deny. You are my joy and smile, my heart and soul. I will follow you into the depths of the midnight's tropical water and live with you forever until the ends of time. You have me.

Florida Night
You're laying there in bed. So close to sleep. Then, you gasp for air, for a second you forgot the world around you, all the troubles. But now that next breath, it hurts even more than the last. The burden of life. Even heavier on your shoulders than before. Tears roll down your face, though you do not cry. The silence is already enough to ****

Silence
I dream of you without knowing how, or when, or where. There you are, poised in front of me. Beautiful in nature with a fire unbeknownst to all. I see no face nor physical features but I feel you. Your hand on my chest is my hand, lips so close that we share one breath. I look at you, looking at me, thought rushing unable to be put with words. We are at a place where I does not exist, nor you. Falling in and out of space without realizing we've moved. One body or two, it's been so long I no longer remember. One is what we've become, a single organism thriving without needing.

Straightforwardly. This pressure on my chest, I cannot quite describe. Just a pressure, nothing more of something missing There before? Without complexities. Not the same pain like the rest, Getting this strange vibe. What have I lost, misplaced, Something forgotten Cross-stricken face.

Lost, Misplaced
Picture perfect night, just what I needed. Shimmering spark of light, Our friendship re-heated. Chilling on your couch, Sitting there in slouch.. We laugh with each other, a much needed friend smother. (Thanks EG for liking my poems)

For My Friend Grahamar
If I die before I wake, I pray you know these thoughts I make. If I die before I wake, I pray you know my heart's been taped. If I die before I wake, I pray you know this body of mine is fake. For If I die before I wake, I want you to know my soul you did take.

If I Die Before I Wake
When you love, and you can't bare it any longer, when everything you shared became toxic waste and your body fills with the fluid of unknown pain. When sadness sinks into you, its weight crushing your chest and lungs. When sadness weighs you like your own flesh but more of it, and that weight of lonesomeness and pain.. You think.. How can I withstand this? Then you will hold love, like an unclaimed newborn in your arms and you'll say, Yes, I will take you and I will love again.

I Will Love Again
A car the ride. A sidewalk the door. Inside I can hear People laughing in cheer. I can't go in, not yet A little girl runs by in a dress. The nod Wooden doors. Music starts Doors open. I loose myself for the moment Standing in-front of a commitment. Time stops In a memory where I drop. Then you show up and catch me from falling. White walkway Flowers. Wooden pews My dress swishing as I walk. One man standing in a three piece suit The whole room end up mute. I can't help but smile In-front of me I see my new life compile. Like a well written poem Now I'm ready to show him. The Priest starts to talk I'm so happy I can only squawk.. "I do." and that's the beginning to the happy ever after ending.
