Jazz is like a city pace

A concrete heart
A padded foot
A streetcart selling food to keep

A city never devoid of place

Loves most it's people
It architectural grace
And its future bolted to the grass

A city never leaves or depart

A concrete quiet heart always lasts
What if cities were actually living things? Sometimes it almost feels that way.
Fifteen Feelings.

I'm not dragging your frame through the mud of memory
Nor lifting up falsehoods in the mind of once mine
No I live and live in a constant state of both being and remind
I remember because it once was us who lived
Can't forget because such things should never die

And they can't

He said with a smile
Fifteen Feelings. Some are just memories, perhaps.

When they make my drink
With exuberance liquified
And season, in its entirety, personified

Regardless of the turning days
Or the morning upside
So much, so down

When they make my drink
I can hardly blink
In raptures taste makes me want to smile
Fifteen Feelings. This one is the gift of coffee.

With a whisper it
Happens suddenly
As if
The world needn't know
The direction in which
Two streams now flow
Into ones first worth

Such a special feeling
Of not knowing when
Or how next
The earth will shake
And with purpose
Turn

Like so many before
We are one at this first
Fifteen Feelings. This one is unforgettable for me. Can you hear it? Still feel it? I can.

Time is not a question or thought
A perspective or construct or worry or hope
Time is a different animal entirely
Who will devour your off day
Just as quickly as he would consume a summers day whole

What a monster indeed, appears time to me
Terrifyingly normal, he grows old
But never fat
Fifteen Feelings.

***** you time. Lol.

tomorrow, Lord knows what I may become
but today I am all vibrance and fur
all electric fuzz and fire and fountains
stroke daringly, me, and see for yourself
the life
Fifteen Feelings. This one is very masculine.

There is no human hope
Which a train, a plane, or breeze
Cannot whisk away at a steady pace

But the sunlight calls
In its glorious dawning truth revealed
With each day arriving still

No cloud can keep us from the sun
Forever less
From each other be it willed
Fifteen Feelings. A set of poetry crafted spontaneously on my day off.
