This flood of rain water is enough for a baptism.
Blessed in the presence.
Its drowns out the thoughts and I hope it washes away the sins.
I repent.
I yell my wrong doings over the thunders rumbles and ask for forgiveness in my choices.
Theres no escaping this house as the rivers overflow.
I step foot in, the waters to my knees and I kneel in the presence of potential death.
The current pushes and pulls me.
I count to three.. three times before I completely submerge. one.. two.. three...
Im free.

Im realizing here isnt home if we aren't.
As my plans alter, I feel unsteady,
unsure, not ready.
So i'll go back? Just pass through each known place like a ghost wandering through halls that were once mine but hold no warmth anymore.
I think it's needed now.
I'll cut off my extremities so I don't have to hold your hand when I walk that circle, chasing just the chance at remnants that we were there at all.

Im chasing a feeling.
I go to say that nothing good came from that place but that would hold no truth cause you were proof.
A poet. An east side story.
A broadway play that spoke no names.
Brilliance that didn't belong in this place.
Im still on the pursuit of happiness.
I know i'm still living in the past
but that because thats where I find it.

I am a battery.
A public port of sorts.
Travelers plug themselves up to charge for their adventure and just as quickly as they came,
they return to the streets
while my energy is left depleted.

Until next time traveler,
if I should stay complacent.
What would you do next time?
If I wasn't where I was previously seated?
There's a satisfaction in always uplifting those weary minds but theres no battery back
to refill mine.
Ive been on borrowed time and I see now that you're consistently wasting it.
It's time to unplug.

Im traveling this road alone,
have no place to call to home
and am lonely to the bone.
I'll set out on my journey,
looking for my happy,
traveling across country
on my pursuit of happiness.

My dog in the passenger street,
will serve as my only friend,
nothing but open road to occupy us.
I'll pull over at every worth sight
and snap a few pictures
so ill remember.
Which ever place feels like a hug,
I will lay my head for good.
If my hands end up digging in sour dirt,
ill return myself to it.
Im on my pursuit of happiness.

Sparks through every nerve ending.
A drop in my stomach.
My heart crawls up my throat for air
and I'm choking up.
My eyes tear ever so slightly.
I start to throw up.
If anything, I'll settle for this.

I love myself.
I do.
I don't talk much. Too scared to blink.
Too much anticipation to know what you think
and if its about me.
Theres an art in not knowing. A method of sorts.
Theres an interest in strangers who could
easily tear us apart.
Right now i'm uncertain.
See, you ooze divine. A beauty to a borderline but I have been led by shine twice before
directly into a nose dive.
I lived to tell the tale but I promise you
i'm much more careful.
Your shine is more than a shine though.
It's a glow
and I really want to know you.
Whats a being like you wanting anything
to do with me?
I know all that I could be but
there's no way that way you see.
I am more than my words, I can give you
the world if only you'd let me.
The anxiety is sitting in my stomach as each hour passes that i'm waiting for your response
and I realize I'm long gone.

Ive fallen in likeness and your likeness is me.

My dreams are laced through Orions belt.
My anger in the spear gripped by his hand
and never leaving it.

My hopes spill from the dippers.
Whats left is stale and pooled into the pocket,
though I still visit, nights like these, just for a sip.

The bigger picture, Mrs Ursa Major takes
my heart and puts into form.
Feared but revered.
A large teddy bear.

My flaws are plaster on the face of the Moon.
My fears side? It's on the dark side
that no body will see soon.

Why so, Sirius?
Who controls when which constellation is faded?
Who knows how long that I've waited for just a glimpse of an elation, to blink
and have my star gone and left devastated?
