Keloquial
i am dripping wet, sitting on your lap after the keg party.

i bounce off of you as you bounce off of the seat.

"is your **** bleeding?"
we laugh.

we are soaked.
i am soaked; so now you are, after trying so hard to dry.
we were naked together, all of us, but especially 'us'.

we were drinking whisky, canadian.
and generic cola to match.

cigarettes we rolled ourselves.

and after i told you about my parents waking me up in the middle of the night when it was pouring, you said, "let's go smoke a cigarette on the back porch".

let's walk in the rain for the next hour, the next decade, the next century, the next forever, infinity.
"cheers, this is beautiful"
Did i dream you
for you are the most strange person
that i have ever dreamed
i met you while i was boating
the strangest girl that i have ever seen
you wright the most strangest words
that i try to play on my guitar
that seam to come out all
lar te dar.
If distance were a metaphor,
its synonymous yet factual depiction would be itself.
Its shear complexity stretches over multitudes,
and from its belly flows rivers of emotions;
anger, frustration, regret sadness and not forgetting self realization.
Inadvertently it separates people and yet brings them closer.
Without doubt it's an enigma of life, call it Einsteins quantum theory of light.
Until one can comprehend the subliminal message deeply coded in the core of this phenomenon,
and without hesitance decipher its elaborate meaning,
one has no choice but to matriculate into it's class and take it's lesson.
Call it school of hard knocks 101.

Ben Jonson
So breaks the sun earth's rugged chains,
      Wherein rude winter bound her veins;
So grows both stream and source of price,
      That lately fettered were with ice.
So naked trees get crisped heads,
      And colored coats the roughest meads,
And all get vigor, youth, and spright,
      That are but looked on by his light.

John Paul
Birds soaring,
Clouds racing,
Sky filled with light.
Heart beating,
Spirit rising,
End is in sight.

People staring,
Not believing,
Clothes ***** and worn.
Legs dragging,
Arms hanging,
Broken, twisted and torn

Now returning,
War ending,
Defeat for the South.
Bed waiting,
Family crying,
One word in my mouth,

Home!
The world turns. Forest fires burn.
Gusting winds that blow. Torrents and undertows.
Tides fall and grow - so do the seasons.
This world is complex, there must be a reason.

He made us to be.

The deserts are scorching and lake tops' freeze over.
A distant star explodes and becomes a supernova.
The ground gashes and rips as each fault line slips.
Each fault line slips.

He made us to be.

So what's the reason why the waves crash the way they do?
And why is a sunset so beautiful?
It's not random to me. I know there's a designer, you see.
A creator that we must honor 'cause He made us to be.

He made us to be.
