If I tell you I'm fine
For the millionth time

Please don't believe me

you don't have to be bad

to have enemies

if i could
i would go to the ends of the earth
to see this rare moment
that we can't ever replicate
blaze into infinity
if i could
i would stand under your sunshine smile
on sorry days
when simple things can gladden the heart
and on dreary days
when rain pours down like sorrow
and the sodden ground weeps a river
as hearts are torn into shreds of regret
at the confluence of  life fled and love forsaken
if i could
i would trap whispered wisdom and treasured secrets
to trade for a song on the common market of bitter sighs
where the things we imagine in our wildest moments
are the price we pay for lost times and opportunities
as the broken dreams of many litter the way
to the perches of watch towers  that are forever courting the sky

life is like playing basket ball.
when you don't always make a successful shot,
you move on till the game is over and try your luck
and have hope till the end.
for when you quit the game, you don't only lose,
but you become a looser yourself.
never give up!

i am in love with all my brothers and sisters:
when i am empty.
They all sing for me.

And in my words
and the depths of my poetry,
i begin to unravel,
the real me.

You come skipping off the curling waves
salty sea air swirling sand at my feet
in humming songs through shells and logs
restless wind, from where have you come,
and where shall you go?

All my days, soon blow away
only a restless wind
ever seeking
