Whipperwillows and sacred cards
California shattering down upon us
Armadillos driving cars
Minnesota blathering all around us

Car parks, yellow museums
Degraded writers, fellow men
Air marks, mellowed athenaeum
Traded fighters bellow again

All in the head and under the bed
Yelling out, loud and clear
What was once dead is now unsaid
Shout about fear

As the rain slicked catacombs entomb such a thought
A refrain sticks honeycomb blooms, touched and bought

may still die
I looked often from my window
Wishing to fly
Yet descending I would go

That was a time ago
You taught me better than to try and dive
And now I know
I've all this time been more than alive

Because upon meeting you, the sea opened, large and blue
My blind future unraveled
I could never not love you, honest and true
Across any country I would travel

The lottery I did not think to win
Has me winning with you, again and again

I hit record
You smile and shake your head
For a second we afford
A video to share, instead

I keep to save
Filed away not so deep
To view innate
Something special I keep

The button is no longer held
Your laugh still emanates
And for you I pray good health
Our love still permeates

I know what yesterday's bring
As do you
For, the dream of tomorrow is our thing
So I call out to you

Syllables override and I try not to hide
I remain open and loving
Even under clouded skies,
I dream of the best things with you still coming

And I know it's true
I can't stop repeating that "I love you"

Journeys through density
Staring at the night skies with you
Ventures in liquidity
Sailing out beyond the blue

The boat
Out amongst the stars
Our hope
A highway without cars

And you and I, young and sweet
In love and fighting to keep
Never dies, lovingly complete
An easy battle for you and me

I'll write and speak
'Of your immaculate beauty
Your grace upon my cheek
Through and moody

I kid and you laugh
A smile too perfect to recall
I'll join you in every Sunday mass
A heart for which it was easy to fall

Aftereffects of a car long driven by
Haunted by the remnants of life
'The desert at night
A lone standing sign, it reads joyously
"45 Miles till the city of Sandy"
And day to night
September to May
It reads the same **** thing
And that's all it'll ever say

I awoke to dawn under auburn skies
Colour was gone
The feeling of place all wrong
Moved to a space outward and down
And all the sun clouds in my head, they made up for the storm clouds calling me dread

Hallowed Eves and pale morning skies bestow the greatest blessing  
A beautiful girl who has the gift for which many sift
One day that very girl would come to feed my growing flames
She hugged me with those deep brown eyes and told me her name
After that, nothing was ever the same

Just for a few seconds
My minute was bright
Just for a few seconds
I could feel the power of flight
And for those seconds I invested the will to fight

Moving out
I was scared
All the sounds echoing in my head
There was a limp on the way out
Bought the leg the very next day

I was sold in fifteen seconds
Bought you all
With the sale of me
All I could see, couldn't afford all the things you said
Sold the lights downtown, rid the poisons in my head
For the prize of living with you
I returned from the dead

I saw that light, just for fifteen seconds
Now I can afford to love you without dread
Come one they would say,
And You did,
You saved myself

Far from now
Time still unfolds the same
Yet, the pieces have changed
None of us remain unchanged
Done now are the impacts upon tomorrow
Today, a penny for the bank of the future
Building towards an eventual purchase

I save and wait, thinking of the day
The day I can spend it all on you
Worth every second, every dollar and cent
Time spent with you is time best spent
And to leave the allegories and metaphors,
I cannot let go of the love, the love that encapsulates my prayers, hopes and dreams
There's not a thing around me that is worth hurting the someday I have with you

The tide
Rise and fall
Beauty is not a state at all
Yet, here we are
Slow and true
And in the mirror
Burning bright
Are those hazel eyes
That keep my heart alight

The love poems
They come and go
Every last one meaning more and more
With motions of to and fro
The literary babes begin to grow
Through smiles and laughs
The glass of love overfills our bath
Sounds of joy, signs of life
Our home bright and warm
The hearth burning bright
Remember these images,
Remember, from the dawn of day
To the eve bridging night,
I love you more than you know,
For you, I will carry a pulchritudinous little light
So that we may relight the hearth
On the most frigid of winter nights

Take my hand, be that light
Let us love this time
For, we will be more than alright
It is but a bit of penance we pay
In order to love with such might

I love you baby girl,
With all possible might

All the times I thought about this
They all flash by
And after every poor moment
Through all the grief
Nothing would feel quite as right as staying by your side

There's a place that you know how to get to
It's never very far
But a simple jaunt away
A heart filled cup at the price of half a day

The false starts
Were taking toll
Buying up spaces in my crowded heart
And the strangest thing was the pinging of another
Near, but far

The taste in my mouth,
The feel of the ground,
The ocean at my back,
The heart in an Adams town

The furthest heart
A million miles away
Yet here we are, at a thousand six hundred and fifty eight

You left the sweetest space with room for growth
You watered my heart and left your seeds
All in a beautiful plan to have me grow into the man I need to be

Every trial I bring to a stall
With every torn start,
The best part,
Is but a twelve hour drive for these two beating hearts

Forever is a long time
So it is with much thought and borrowed grace
That I realize what I ask you to say yes to
Say yes to

Where would I go?
At the age of 19, still bright and shiny
Living in a building by the great lake-sea
Where would you go?

Although I think now I do see
Back in time, down, down, down, fall
The very bottom was a lonely pit
I'd rather never return to at all

Back to after, much later than before
I ask you that question, the one you have been preparing for
With a kneel and a quiet smile, I beam
A reaching hand into my pocket
I aim to retrieve a small little gem, I aim to make you gleam

Sitting in today, I can only dream
Of a day far, but close
One, where we can both realize that fantastically accomplishable dream
'

My claim to fame was a book or two
A film, some scripts and a couple million by the age of 32
The wife I loved, loved since school
Stayed and loved me back, even when I was a fool
And that I was, many a time
For it was me that waited so long to find her
'Never will I forget that day
One that shall live in infamy
A cold November morning
One at the end of Fall
Because born on that morn, was a love that knew no end at all

She loves to read Bronte
Lives to sing loud and tall
Cannot go without a good glass of wine,
Has yet to let me fall

Always remembers to say; "I love you"
Would give me her all
Can run a marathon twice a day
Better at everything I could name
Except for basketball

Loves my rhymes, though they ****
I've yet to hear her say the word that sounds like "duck"
She'll laugh at that, this I know
For she never ceases to smile
She is a new, bright dawn

With vigor and promise
I look to the morning sky
A smile breaking the solace of my once calm mind
She's here to stay
For, that is how I know God is kind

Eyes closed, the radio on
Water beading down your windshield
The drums breath gone

Cruel guitars orchestrate the rise and fall
Your mother wished you never left at all
With the dryer still running, power out
The last lights in the mind go blind

Colour returns, piano beats on
Cradles rocking and cellos burn
Not a sound to be heard, only the wipers remain on

If I could sing, I would record a loving howl
A sound that would rise and fall
'Like the tides, it'll know no limit at all
And though it may sound strange,
You'll love it so
Not because I could sing, no
Not at all
Simply because for you I would howl till Fall

I watch the hours tick away
Each number falling slowly
None of them look my way

All of the hours, they twist and turn
At every juncture I listen as they sizzle
All before they burn

I count all the hours,
I remember them well
I love them all,
I only wish they could escape their predetermined hell

That which betwixt reality from myself
'Like ancient rains in foreign countries yet touched by man
There, sad piano notes do cry out upon the oily hues of pink and blue in the night sky
And here, marks of lipstick clouding empty glasses of wine as soft notes dance within these oaken walls
The rain outside, familiar and warm with knowledge
The last note played with a final locking of our eyes

Is that is that the old me watching his new heart
Is that the old me crying out in the dark
Is that the old me laughing by the fire
Is that the old me

Took us back,
Where I swore to never be again, till'
Smiling up at me,
You filled my heart

When we were friends
When we were friends
We were friends
We were friends

The old me awoke in the dark
The old me awoke to find
The old me alive and well
The old me full of love in his heart

We were friends
Now we are in love
We were friends to the end
Now I can truly love again

Is that the old love I once had in my head?
Is this what I always searched to find?
Is this why my heart never declined to beat?
Is this the best life possible?

Or is it the gift of humanity?

Through the empty streets of my home town
Streetlights and deer surround
All the daylights love grown cold
I run to you

To the same old familiar song
She runs too
Solid shadows following me and you
I too run to you

Like a tale once told
We find a warm place to lay and hold
Whisper the secrets of right now
Forever will run to you

Brief moments upon which I ponder the future, they all include you
In my fancied heart, I lie with passion in the dark

These moonlight promises remind me,
Somewhere near, somewhere far,
You are under the same light

I'm sending myself down corridors of memory
To hold and love thee
Under a different moon
Not so far after all

These memories daunt me,
Hardening me for the long journey
Back around to thee

I wear my heart on my sleeve all night
Watch as I converse with myself all night
She loves carefully, telling me to keep an open heart

I walk every corridor in this valley tonight
Thinking of better places to be, stewing in memory all night
She bought possession of my every feeling

I can't believe I'm not afraid any more
Won't scare because of Loves before

My intentions carry throughout the night

Colours that are breaking out of what I said
Bright and loud, overwhelming my head

How very novel
How very trite

I'm shipped to and fro
Sent like a package to places unheard

I'm the featured set
I'm overworked

Summer and Fall are both new beginings to better endings
Things I have yet to want

Walk away and say;
"Hold on, hold on"

When the rain was too cold to grant presence
While the ground ran hot and dry
I knew there was a picture out beyond somewhere
A party of divine beauty with whom my time I wished to share

Knowing the drifting of time does sway
Though they were standup acts, no longer does it concern
To be such a woman, to even be a party to you
Would allow many a day in the rain
And all pain, I would do over again

Oh, with October long past
Summer drawing near
I cannot help but look at her, pulchritudinous and whole
Look and say;
For it was you that I always prayed

A Ringing, a hopeful setting of the sun
Still locked in sameness, ragged and mad
Merely missing bias now
The ring so beautiful at twilight

Sterling promises made before the royalty of night
Whispers in the dark
Short leads
Whitest lies

The bells do ring at midnight, just as desire burns
Hunger lit by day
Fueled by night
Around these tracks I have traversed many a time
Coming back now, unsure of what I shall find

We all love at one time
Free and blind
All the lost souls
Diving headlong into open air

Colour and fire
Wanting through desire
All the lost souls that ever cared
Beating rhythmically through your hair

Haunted thoughts
Abandoned pools behind your houses
This is where they wait for you
All the lost souls

Freshly built highways
Decayed moral canopies
Pulchritudinous moonlit lakes
We are the lost souls

Often times I recall the warm summer streets of my city. The sun beating down upon aged pavement as she and I lovingly travelled upon clouds of young hopeless love. The pictures I keep, now buried in folders upon folders, are proof of a time in which I lived a love intangible since. Each venture since the end I have measured and compared to this first love. Though the best has yet to come, my vision still always finds its way back to the sun soaked streets of the Port City during the happiest times of my life.
