66/M/california I have been writing for most of my life, I have been fortunate to have married the love of my life for the past 27 years ... I am blessed in so many countless ways..I look forward each day to reading and sharing our poems with eachother..
and for all of the wrong reasons, I stumbled into your eyes. looking for hope, looking for validation looking for a love without a aimless rudder to misguide my heart. and for a moment we lie still in deep water, and drank till our bellies full of cheap wine. and then the moment was over, like a monopoly game turned upside down in the middle of my turn, or a galaxy emptied of all it's stars right before my eyes. in a moment my life was less not more. and you stood just the stupid ***** in front of me.

Drunken charades
they are all a little rough around the edges, a little broken from the center going out. like veins exploding no longer connected to anything that remotely resembles love. and without any explanation in just dropped you here from out of sight, not to mend not to heal, but just to forget the first moment that you looked into each other's eyes........ like a extinction event of the dinosaur kind and sorry to say.. there will be no coming back from that...

The pieces that he left of you
over head belly full silver back clouds of rain, running across my nomadic path a crinkled broken leaf losing value with each tumbleweed motion it takes. my dog hiding under the branches of a cypress tree gently shedding it's summer foliage to the wind.. this season changes, and still you change with me one more time again. and in this moment, the sky has fallen to me. and off in the corner of my left hindsight gypsy thoughts, a small yellow spot flower breaks through the open ground to mesmerizes my sight. and as always once again, I am certain it is you.... and that you would never leave me here. because of all the changes of the seasons of our life... you have always found me always loved me dear,

and the sky has fallen to me
on the low tide moment that I might die. when the final leaf of the cold evening sky might fall. looking inward for all the moments of my life that mean the most to me and there is always you. and I would trade none for it. and as my final breath reaches to chase the wind, I will be through with all this. but never without you go I.

can't put my finger on it
at the bottom of your smile, what has put you there. to wonder and dance untethered in the night. what ran away with your innocence ****** eyes, and then covered your heart with spines and unwelcomed vessels that bleed, are you lost now or just misunderstood. are you laughed at or broken hearted, without sins of your own. just questions unanswered buried in your eyes. you are a soul upon the no where tides you are a nowhere poem. naked and afraid, a chance meeting of a fallen star, falling out of sight no fears.

at the bottom of your smile
every morning you are with me, in my thoughts like a low grey fog that creeped inside my dreams during the night. making everything a shadow to my eyes like a misplaced painted memory upon my heart. I don't even know where you are, who you have become, or how you still dance upon all of the broken dreams that you have left me to salvage my life upon. I just know you are here with me in this moment, until the fog clears and I am able to forget that blue is the color of my first loves eyes.

Shadow thoughts
we only have to listen and breathe in deeply each breath, to know who we have always been to one another. and though the different times and people in our lives find us wanting. I am sure it is how the summer surrenders to the fall. with total trust and wisdom. this moment is just our perfect place in time. I can see it your eyes, even though nothing might ever be said. I fall to you...

N / 1
Your eyes were capsized from the moment that I first saw them, long ago broken shallow pieces without depth or substance. abandoned left motionless barely showing a glimmer of the light behind them. and so I sit and wait with any kind of hope to help keep you afloat. you were the woman barely audible in the coffee line before me. and I all of a sudden was the witness to all of the pirates that had left your life in shambles over the years, and in that moment we were one.

first meeting
I know in seeing you once, that some how we had already blessed a lifetime between us. and there was a million things between us that had to be said. before our first hello. and open wounds that had to be mended, and quiet moments that had to be explored. we meet these people in the oddest of moments, when each of us bears an equal weight. to fate to love to one sight that for a moment passed between our eyes.... and then slipped away to eternity laughing.

one sight
It is a lonely proposition to sit here and think of you tonight. nothing I say will ever be answered no syllable from my lips will ever touch your ear. but still in this moment you are everything, even in the deepest depths of every breath that I breathe. it all all comes back to you, endless banter with me and this one star tonight, that will always shine you into my eyes. and then leave me again naked and unafraid helplessly hoping you. over and over again, like it knows me all to well, and sometimes it knows me better than myself.
