I wanted to write you a poem
but I could not feel the flow
so I watched the sky change
from blue to grey
a spring breeze blew
& dead leaves rallied
in a circular motion
which drew me in & picked
me up for a few seconds
to feel the rays of the sun
oh spring, it’s only just begun.
the ground is brown &
the trees still bare.
I don’t want to care
I know that we’ve got nothing
left to share, no extra feelings left to spare.
I hope to go where the wind blows,
who knew that meant leaving you behind.
some nights never seem to end,
& I juggle all the words in my head
it’s just
if only
I’d like to share
my heart.

hot but cold, yes
still recovering
yet I want another holiday
already I've laid here too long
& the itch to flee
builds again inside of me
it felt like a blur, but I sure
cried like hell & the fever never
seemed to let go
so I slept & slept,
& woke to puddles full of sweat
& dreamt of somewhere maybe
we could go.
I thought we could take holiday
somewhere near, maybe far
take a boat, or possibly car
I could pack one bag
or how about a few?
still recovering
yet I am ready to go
because this place isn't home
& I want something new

shelter shelter, bring me a storm
& i'm working on forgiving
funny beacause I wanted to say
working on leaving the living.
forgive me oh forgive oh forget
it **** you.
& NOFX
progress, rock this
patience, guide us
kindness, blind us.
curiosity of 1984
& what's to come
It don't look good,
you'd better run.

occupy the body, I am waiting
for challenge, for a shift, until
the dress just fits.
but I lay, I am lying,
looking in the mirror,
trying too hard, again.
trying harder than ever
to walk with my head held
high, higher than my ego.
Spring, wake unto me,
my spirit needs shaking.
eyes glazed, passing by,
the elephant in the living room.

a dream where I jumped
over all of the steps
leading to the basement.
a blue house,
ivy crawled the walls
from the outside in.
I jumped the steps
to chase a rabbit.
The stairs disappeared
and I was stranded.
Ivy hung from the cellar
door above my head.

now I lay me down to sleep,
I hoped for snow, the refrigerator
hums, I am buried.
rain mists spits
and I am over this.
wake me in the moonlight,
close my eyes and I am there.
walk with me, we're on the moon.
it's chilly but we're too busy dancing.
I wish you didn't see me twisted,
but I know you do.
It's alright, it's sorta true.
I knit knots in my belly,
it's turning me blue
and it's heavy.
shake me just a little,
hold me till midnight.
laaadeee daaaa dee

did i forget to tell you?!
the mountains and the sea!
rolling and roaring
off the shores of new jersey
i call your name
and you splash me
I CAN'T SEE
I CAN'T See.
No more, I am free.
Can you hear me?
I am screaming,
the mountains and the sea!
You are all, you are one
summer sea foam.
it's humble, it's numbing
you're laughing and soaring
and watching me run.

striped sheets, I rest my head
I'd rather be dreaming
this love is a garden
close my eyes
I think I was peeking
the sunlight cradles
in waking hours
when mist just sits
and the day is new.
until the moon is sharp
I'm hiding, I'm shy
you haven't met me yet
close your eyes
no peeking

a back bend, kick over.
the movement becomes
a walk we all know too well.
my worries steep, I sip them dry
and leave some left
for another night.

watching and staring,
I can barely see anything at all.
thoughts cascading,
a triple spiral
mountain run-off.
fever dreams flashing,
I'm sick, I'm sick.
entrance stone turns to sand.
cars are hissing,
tractor trailers are roaring.
something holy lives here,
three realms.
land, sea, sky.
