my statue

bury my toes in the cold trickling sand
the sweeping sensation of frothy waves
emerald green and soothing movement
soft popping froth drinking around my ankles
close my eyes, touch the wind
taste the salt and the shiver
what if I became a statue
as the water refuse to recede
and my veins are carved of rock,
if I became a statue
and the earth devoured me to the knees
what expression would play my face,
what would my thoughts be
on the day I decided to refuse to be

what would they name me?
what would the remember of me?
*forgotten
just an intriguing concept

I love the morning dew
yawning baby yellow
new beginnings to follow
a dawn to call my own

I love the settling shadows
waning magnificent glimmers
warm by the fireside
stories yearning to be retold
a dusk to let go
My favorite times of day

slow, rolling grey hues*
smooth like obsidian
glancing over skin
shimmering under faint porcelain
cast visions over miles
lakes and blank hallways
****** up ways
to celebrate
the humming flesh
another torment
scorched the lovely rays
beating bird's wing
gentle soft touch
lost feathers to new years
not magnificent
just caught under
the weight of our sadness
Christmas lights
another sight,
hold like brothers
sisters under embrace
silent ways to hold
her
him
glass of bitter water
gather those tears
see how the gem
wedged in our throats
glimmers beautifully
when the sun and moon
shines at its most
the ocean quiets and stills
excavate the peace
buried by the storming hatred,
*sadness and guilt
it's okay to feel how we all feel

Sometimes
when you're sleeping and I can't
sleep,
my mind races.
There are things you don't know
about me.

My hand
on your shoulder and traveling
down.
You notice
and turn around and smile
at me.

It's your
half-asleep, eyes-closed smile, those
red
red lips that
will keep me forever
silent.

Hello
I am the rock that was thrown at your window
waking you from your dreams

I want to ride the streams,
the canopies, of light.
like a curious passenger
on a speeding motorcar
down the runway from everywhere   
to your eyes

Regardless of what the future holds, I know
that no feat of mathematical precision
no combination of zeroes and ones
no mechanical tool, no algorithm
can replicate your face.
In the rise and fall of your eyelids
and the pursing of your lips
there is a lawless radiance.

Before I go into the cold I want to walk with you through the memories and kiss and drink and dance with you there and point at the stars which are really the lingering sparks that flew in my so many moments with you of anger and love and we’ll be sad but we’ll be happy and we’ll be laughing and we’ll leave when it’s time to leave because those moments happen only once and we'll know that and that's why they're beautiful but we’ll know we saw them and that they lit up the sky and we’ll be brave and we’ll be ready when we go into the cold.
