Hovering you is the drug which I dont know
Like the fever I could never shake
And the afternoon light
Just above the bitterroots below

How you fall like rain into becoming snow
And land with grace as I l've never seen
And believe me I've looked
Upwards and for as long as stars aglow

Careening down in dreams
Flowing supple streams
Whisper softly to each
The other of which we've yet to know

Carvings name of each not
In the remaining stone
Till the windy, trembling, peaks above
Comes crashing down, we awake alone

Expectations are dangerous things
Don't stand, lest you fall
Try, or fail to try, lest you become someone
Either way heartbreak comes for us all

You're the keys on my keyboard
You're the font in my mind
I can see you curve like cursive streaks
How I wish that we were aligned

One God is
E n o u g h
In my life
I do not
Wish to worship
Her as well

Cold sunshine, seeps down
On a day without hope and
Brings forward anew
Like a sound without new sound
On us, cold sunshine beats down

Somedays
A cold existence as a tree

Calls out to me
This warming flesh
So full of fault and failure anew
So weak in ages duress
And yet
The trees they see with neutrality and
Fall freely each year in the form of leave
They live, they die, they oversee
And grow taller than I could ever hope to be
One ring can not compare
To the many found therein with these

Somedays
I envy the trees

The lover on the other line
Who whispers nothings
Literal nothings
Isn't real

She's just the memories which
I'm inclined to think about
And yearn to kiss
Again and again

There is no shame

In needing something

So much as there is

The disappointment when

You discover that your something

Will never be needed

Old words cry out
For more of themselves
And I
A selfish wordsmith unfound
Have nothing but headaches in mind
For them

I'm sorry
But you'll never begin again

Not

Words can only start
To quench such a rampant thirst
For these thoughts of yours

Where night ends slowly
And day begins most abrupt
We fend, waking up

Find me not beneath
A different sea of trees
For I will not, leaf?

Radiance is not
Merely the sand or sea breeze
But you there at ease

The grass, fearing lots,
Packed up and headed southwest
Having snowy thoughts

The greatest of kings,
Who concurs all earthly things
Is time, inhuman

A yawn is not that
But an invitation to,
With sleepy eyes, wish

All the heavens reach
And with starry eyes exclaim
Envy as his feeling

Even rocks receive
Like crashing waves with a hope
Such sounds, you and me

Rainfall is not Fall
Just as snow does not Spring forth
But returns to Fall

Your essence is simply everywhere
like the orange hue
mid afternoon in the summer sun

Your glow, your radiance, resonates clear
in the eyes of other twos and ones

I see you here, your rippling there
through everywhere I pass is you

Your family flutters through the air
such loveliness beyond radio waves of hair

Like ember essence, burning fair
you are midnight candles
your radiance is simply everywhere
