all the while
the rain
was gently falling
& all the night
the stars
were simply peering
out from their
blankets
of velveted black
to watch me
surrender my thoughts
to the swirl of my
dreaming

I drank some brews
And wrote some lines and stared out into the night.

I saw you pass with a couple of friends and completely forgot how to write.

I found you, by accident.
A pebble in the sand,  
You had been drowned by each overwhelming tide,
And battered and whittled down,
By other rocks around you.
And you ended up here,
Right in my sight, by my toes.
I bend down and pick you up,
With my hand.
I feel every smooth edge,
Every crack and every scar.
I marvel at you,
I think of the journey you had made,
To get here,
And all the years it had taken
For you to be in my hand.
I take you home, in my hands,
And place you on my bedside table,
And feel quietly serene at your closeness.
My treasure, my amazing find,
My Diamond in the rough.

beneath the cloud is clarity of sight
where choices made do not entail regret
but only wistfulness that we have set
our hopes too high as swiftly-coming night
will end the journey still in our despite
there's magic against which we may not bet
so each must laugh while all the foolish fret
for there's still someone who can make all right
not for us here the option to renew
all the old answers that no longer serve
to cover up what must now be made plain
those monstrous forms that we refuse to view
or the old houses just around the curve
where we used to take shelter from the rain

Where do my thoughts go, on days like these?
Searching for something I don’t know how to find
Stumbling over my steps, as if I were blind
Where do my days go, during weeks like these?
Constantly searching for the twinkle in your eyes
Finding nothing, except those words that I despise
Where do the months go, through years like these?
It’s been so long now, I’m not quite sure where to begin
Everyone’s part of this club called happiness, but they won’t let me in
Where do the years go, in the lives we lead?*
Where these things go, it’s no use to wonder
Because I’ve given up now, I think I’m finally through
I’ve spent my eternity searching,
searching for you

Light filters through frosted windows
It illuminates only portions, a mere subtotal
Of the whole
My mind no longer spins
Uncontrolled
It just eases on
One thought
To the next

No particular worry
Well, the worries are there
They're
Here
But not all over the place
Which I'm thankful for
No more illogical
Unreasonable thinking
On a day
Like today

No work
No one in particular to talk to
No obligations
It's just time
Time to relax
And I don't care
Which I guess is a problem
In and of itself
But
Right now
It feels right
Just to write
And think
And write
Whatever surfaces
Shows up on the screen in front of me
Glowing unapologetically
Just like I like it

Sometimes it's near, sometimes it's distant

Sometimes it's real, sometime's it's faked

Sometimes there's bliss, sometimes there's grief

Sometimes there are signs, sometimes there are assumptions

Sometimes I'm shaken, sometimes I'm stupefied

sometime's I'm exuberant , sometimes I'm rigid

Sometimes I'm relentless, sometimes I'm restrained

Sometimes I believe, sometimes I doubt

Sometimes I stay, sometimes I run

Sometimes I reach, sometimes I flinch

Sometimes it's cosmic, sometimes it's unconventional

Sometimes it's vivid, sometimes it's vague

Sometimes it's white, sometimes it's black

Sometimes it's love, sometimes it's fantasy

Sometimes there's paradise, sometimes there's tragedy

Sometimes I'm certain, sometimes I'm anxious

Sometimes I fall in love, sometimes I fear love

Sometimes it's a dream, sometimes it only remains a dream

Sometimes is sometimes,

If only sometimes I can't feel
