there is a river that flows
through the fabric of our being,
vitality within.
a convergence of convulsing capillaries
reinforced with life,
delicate like a spider's web,
glistening like a galaxy of stars;
the shimmering dewdrops that make up the moments we never forget.
there is a maelstrom in my mind,
that stirs the tranquil waters
of my soul.
the river meanders, forever wondering;
where is the sea,
but it's waters cannot swell without
a thousand conjoining trickles.
so the river runs,
its course never set,
a tear on moisture-stricken skin,
never losing momentum.
so run river,
get to the sea.

All is well in the World;
except for a
storm in a teacup
it brewed too long,
a scathing taste of
bitter,
a scalded tongue
leaving
feelings of acerbic
numbness.

In universal terms;
a thousand lifetimes come & go
in the blink of an eye
I overrated the importance of my existence
and now I'm chasing leaves on the breeze.
perhaps
one day the breeze will fail
and the leaves will sit willingly, still;
hungry to be examined.
Only (I discover)
I was never chasing leaves
Just lost in the wind.

my blood runs hot when you're around,
your touch turns my skin to flames.
your voice chills the air and calms my thoughts,
uttering forgotten names.
who could blame a simple boy for loving
so completely and without consideration;
the portrait girl, with lips of red,
who conjured conflagration.
a tale so hopeless did never end so sweet,
as in a dream, said fair lady, rushed him off his feet.
but it is a sad and known truth,
that the night-time show
always ends with darkness.

a love lost, wondering;
cannot find home where home is,
but finds home where there is none.
A love confused, but truly convinced,
cruelly entangled in a myriad of loose ends.
But where loose ends meet,
acceptance born:
a love lost alone,
has no home,
but is home.

a false hope,
mindless optimism,
delusion.
an unattainable target,
an unachievable goal,
self pity.
a false hope,
misunderstanding,
regret.
love,
or not,
forget.
remember,
repent,
rejuvenate.
forget,
fall,
repeat.

brain scrub my mind,
ev'ry speck
'til there's none to find.
mind please cleanse my soul,
my body
needs you whole.
soul do cleanse my heart,
teach it
love and lust apart.
Clean me whole,
through and through
make my judgment true.

I'd a poem for you,
if I could.
I'd write one from the heart,
you know I would.

a sealed confession written on the inside of my eyelids,
visible only when wanted to be seen.
when opened, the confession becomes an admission,
what is will then have been.
only you or I may open it,
and only if we please.
let it whisper wind through the branches,
and tell tales among the trees.
may it foresee the future and remember the past,
but let it not change us, to our very last.

How can it be so hard to simply say:
"I feel so happy, please never go away."
