I cannot find it here
It seems
I search ahead
Far and distant
Wishful things
I frame their shape
I shade them in
Ignoring where
I rest my wrist
Sand spills

Have you ever stared at
tree branches in the night
sorted out twisted shapes
against a black blue sky?
Have you ever gazed
at the disappearing line
beneath the summer haze
of ocean blue for miles?
Has anyone, I wonder
actually watched the rain
like they do in the movies
against the window pane?
Do you think that we'll ever
watch daytime clouds go by
like young and naive lovers
far from their last good bye?
I wonder what the sky
looks like from where you sit
I most prefer the dark
from where the stars are lit.

It’s nice up here, you know?
Where my ego can fly
A God view to down below
Watching the frantic fight
Once searched high and low
For the meaning of it all
Connected the dots
To a line that circles back
It’s vicious they say
Goes round and round
Repetition at play
Where patterns abound
See my shadow below
Deep down I know the truth
It’s where I too belong
Among a sea of fools

Down the rabbit hole
Chasing my own tail
Needing time alone
Feeling overwhelmed
Forest for the trees
Missing little things
Now into the weeds
Worried about everything
A walking contradiction
Pushing close to the edge
Racing in all directions
I'm a ******* mess
Going down in flames
Stirring up a storm
But what's in a name
If it all feels wrong
Exercise in futility
Everything I say
Endlessly repeating
Yesterday's mistakes

I read a stream of musings
Of amber autumn leafs
Thunderstorms rising
Blue oceans and ravines
And turned to look outside
Hoping to find my own
But saw dying grass for miles
Beneath a blinding sun
Perhaps I'll drive a while
And find myself upon
An undiscovered sight
With nature's gentle song

We can make you fall in love
We can make you sing along
We can craft a love affair
We can fake it like we care
We can lure you with our bait
We can be your worst mistake
Both truth tellers and deceivers
We are poetic word weavers
Beware of our siren songs.

Music, I don’t hear it
Like most of the world
Rhythm, I can’t feel it
Like I can touch words
But you, you hear it well
The sounds I cannot see
They live inside your head
Before you set them free
So let us walk this path
Where both of our arts meet
I will spill out my heart
To your new melody

Conviction, certainty
Knowledge of the world
A clear understanding
Of how it all worked
I had all these things
A long time ago
The moment you'd speak
I'd know the response
No changing my mind
My worldview was set
Thought I was a delight
But I was a little ****

My expression changes
And the conversation turns sour
When your name is mentioned
Everything gets awkward
People talk of lessons learned
And things they’d never take back
But I know I’d get rid of you
Without a second thought
A pointless second heartache
Not even my first love
I was moving on with life
The moment you showed up
Regaining all my strength
I built up enough trust
To place in your hands
The beating sign of love
The night you told the truth
I felt my soul go numb
No tears in front of you
But I did shed them all
In the corner of a room
Cradled in my best friend’s arms
Curled in a fetal position
Choking on my bleeding heart
No, I don’t want to remember
The way any of this started
None of your eternal promises
Or the things I thought once mattered
If I got a second chance
To life live a different way
I’d go back and take from you
Every single thing I gave
