In my years,
I have noticed,
writing about the birds and the trees
comes with great ease,
but an ordinary day with pale grey skies,
and flat stale air
is a subject as to which not many care.
A day when birds are too bored to fly;
people drearily roam outside.
When there are too many clouds for the sun to shine.
On such days, us wallflowers seem to thrive.

Marathon

Marathon

I know they're gaining on me.
Those shadows I run from.
I know their pace is quickly matching mine.

The tread of fear.
The course of pain.
My breath grows heavy.

I once ran towards them.
Chasing dreams, opening doors.
They slammed shut.

And now I run.
Never fast enough.
But I run.

Maybe, one day, the marathon will end.

Catch

Catch

When you are at the edge
tip-toeing along the ledge
and tears fall from your eye
to the ground
two hundred feet below;
I really hope you know
that I will catch you
if you decide
it's time to go
and even if you fell
ten thousand miles
toward the ground
I would make sure to catch you
because I want you
safe and sound.

Wants

Wants

And I just want to feel your breath
On my neck
And your *******
On my chest
And I just want to feel your lips
On my cheek
Telling me I’ll be okay
When I’m feeling awfully weak
And I just want to see your eyes
Meeting mine
Soft orbs of blue
Too mature for your time
And I just want to hear your voice
Whispering softly in my ear
Be here with me
Be near
I can’t handle this distance
Not only of miles, but of mind
I never could catch you
But god how long I tried.

Old Friends Know About Forever

Old Friends Know About Forever

My friends:
the fire hearted nomads;
the hard headed lunatics;
the kids with lion eyes.

We used to be the roots of a tree;
veins of an ox's heart.
We used to be free,
but now we've fallen apart.

I said, you said, we said,
"This fire in my heart
is forever," but

naivety got the best of me.
Our fire died - and so - the tree.

The thumps of our ox's heart stopped beating.
Forever lost its meaning.

Comments are appreciated.

day-dreaming

I think of amazing things
of aliens and secret kings
of far away lands deep beneath the sea
all of these places i wish to be.
A world with chocolate seas, and yummy cotton candy trees
Amethyst mountains and crystal skies
a place where people never tell lies
I wish a place like that could be true
but if it were....
i'd have to get tickets for two.

Love

Love

Love is blindness,
Underlying oneness,
Besottedness,
Ineffableness

Desire,
Attraction,
Affection,
Devotion.

Love is
Deep,
Tender,
Sweet,
Infinite,
Electric.

A joyride,
A vine that grows around your heart
A gift,
A journey,
A tidal wave,

Love is passion,
Warmth,
Indecision,
Endearment,
Zeal,
Dedication,
Bliss,

Love is this.

Or was.

heart and feather

Here I am.
With a smile.
I really don"t give a ****.
Let's sit and talk a while.
where are you?
Please come to me...
i feel for so few.
Baby cant you see?
what this is.
with us together.
you can choose, my arms or his.
my heart and a feather.
clipped to my sleeve.
baby I'm here!
I will never leave.
as long as u will stay, forever near.
