Only, only looking at the sky
Just traced by the edges
Shifting out and in

Just
Just another mass of thoughts
Only wishing on everything
Wandering over chances

Spinning around
And sliding by
A quiet
Unanswered called
Shaded in the moments
Of tear causing beauty

Only here for a moment
Only, before it’s all too much

Until the edges become a line
Turning everything in its tides

Hoping for one
Through it all to find conclusion
Breathing in salt sprayed possibilities

Hazy crescent,
Fueled in memories
Sunny days,
Beaches we kissed
Streets & hugging
Bottles, hammocks, work over
Nothing left
Irredeemable
Retrievable,
Only through shining down.

Where are your lips now?
Locked with others
As pale light
Remembers both of others

The stocky brown dog
Following my spring
And children still on skates with hockey sticks
Cars will doubtless roll on,
Not slower
As their existence in our life wanes

And if I traveled back
Would I find myself in the same shade,
Looking over?
Surely
He’d relax elsewhere

Silver light watches
In solitary moments,
Nostalgia becomes my character,
I stare at the sky
Then look away
As I did,
Feeling too shy,
As your eyes regarded me

Twirling a lunatic’s tightrope
Strangely close
They all pass through
Performing paradox
Nothing left but to linger

Blindly drawing close
Tracing, finding hope
Delicate surfaces
Further leading
On
Ready to slip away

And the waves, over the moon, around our world all blurred at the edges.
Breaks to other brushes
And I shuddered,
Oh we did. Enough to fall
And away.

Run  
             Go

Strut
             Skip
     Move
               Slide

Glide

                  Slip

One leg

               Two leg

Just get there
Carry sorrow without slowing
Mourning with going
Just life on and on

Shuffle through the crowds
Emotions flattened on their backs
Just trudge through
With that restless wind inside your head

Flush it out burn it off run away
It’s all in movement day by day

As the world passes

We skip glasses

Emotions blurred, guesses inferred, care dropped in baskets

Flat life flat colour dull world

It’s just easier to walk on
             easier to get by

Fall in love with me if you can. Fall in love with me. You can love me. You can love. You can with me. If you love me. Fall with me. Love me. Love.

It was all I wanted, yours if you wanted
But over time we all seem to forget things…

Fell out of love with me, you did what I thought you couldn’t. Fell out of love with me. You couldn’t love me. You couldn’t love. You couldn’t with me. You did love me. Fell with me. You did. Love

At surface, ripples and washes in and away.
Desires, wishes, requirements,
Some in a murky deep, secrets weighing down,
Some float, light enough, shallow enough to match the surface
But few can’t escape, held somewhere farther,
And in this nadir, unchanged is all I need.

With just a single frame she’s alone,
But a picture’s thousand words
Tell, look closer it calls.
Not to walk a crowded street, longing for a home, and
Just pleads to know
Just the reassurance of knowing.
Could be salient, could be striking but obliterate a frame,
And she’s there, with all I want.

A dove warbles one lonely soliloquy, to the ebony
Sky, could be an only friend
Or nights could keep her.
Either way, with warmed wings
Soaring,
If it could stay forever.
Flying, a weighted soul released
Letting go of
All I ask,
Flickers through a space.
Mind, that’s how it’s known
Behind it lurks in organs of a soul
As the heart would pump blood, and bleed for someone
What as the head functions?
In that space so trivial
Distance between lovers and friends
Both the desire, the without
An outstretched hand to,
Never let go
To love you
Is all I ask.
