Rain
The house that sees everything,

Still abandoned for little things.

No ghosts to roam the corridor,

Just empty silence that feels loud as a roar.  



Maybe someday someone will see it for who it is,

Not the stories echoed with myths.
A house at the back of my head

My heart
crumbles
  and offers
itself
to you
for feed,
for love,
for sanity
so you
feel full,
because you
want a life,
not just
survival.
Just to get a "like"
People will risk life and limb
Famous for being famous
Not just another her or him
As my sun sets
elsewhere it glows bright and hot
& in another somewhere it rises
fresh and new
in soft pastels or bright blushing hues

Now as this plot seeps into dusk
I whisper a missive along
May the lost sun rays this day
shine and flutter on you
where & whenever you are
May the breezes carry my calming palms
to rest in the stillness with you
To quiet your worries
& sleep in your soul for a second or two
May your warming sun deliver
this warming touch I send
May it carry a kiss as well
gently placed wherever you most desire
my lips to dust your skin
& stay however long you need

My lips are still and forever yours

the sunshine knows

Our little star’s brightness
shares with you,
my mind full of thoughts
& the wish to listen for you.

So go outside
Soak in the sun
& catch my essences of my love.

your voice through the phone
reminds me of cans with strings
when we laughed without meaning
when peace was a bike ride away
All bad decisions.
Take a toll on mind and soul.
You dig your own hole.
