My stupid idea
of you and I making love
is like what poets and writers do
with words and sentences
fancy tongue work and grammar
no touching
no holding
just the movement of our lips
forming the love
that we make
with
words
I could live like this

Floor Perspective
HeyThereLefty Sep 2015
One of the greatest feelings I have ever experienced
was the feeling of invisibility
I sat on the floor in front of the auditorium  
waiting for the class before me to be let out
just reading a book and listening to music
A few minutes passed
The class was released from their professors grip for then night
a swarm of kids left the room
I stayed on the floor reading
not being noticed
Alone
I watched from over the peripheral of my book at all the legs passing by  
No one noticed me
No one tripped over me
I was ignored  
I felt like I had stopped time
I felt like I'd mastered the art
of being invisible
I love this feeling sometimes

We Are Simple
HeyThereLefty Mar 2015
I want to feel stellar
I crave the feeling
of your skin
when I feel my worst
your fingers tracing
the profile of my hand
will make my grayest days

*vibrant
We scream the loudest while saying nothing.
HeyThereLefty Mar 2015
to love is one thing*

to be in love is another
Dude, really?

Eclipse
HeyThereLefty Feb 2015
You are the moon
your skin, swarthy and perplexing.
I am the sun
my face, rounded and luminous.
The luster reflects onto your features  
and when we kiss
an eclipse forms in the sky.
This is what I think of you and I hope someday I can show you this.

Breaking Your Barrier
HeyThereLefty Jan 2015
Out my kitchen window*
I see the barrier surrounding my backyard.
And the backyard after that.
And the one after that.
And the one after that.
And so on...
Wanting to keep people out.
Guarding our things
and guarding ourselves.


I see your barrier.
It's made of the thickest stone.
There are barely any cracks or breaks
just signs that someone tried to get inside
and holes patched
from their effort.

I wish I could make all the hurt go away.
I wish I could provide the comfort you need.
I wish I could tear down that stone divider.
I wish I could shatter your wall.

I stand at your barricade
my hands placed on the cold, thick stone.
Projecting all my love and warmth into the tips of my fingers.

I want nothing more
than to rummage through this rubble
so that I can find you
and hold you.
This is dedicated to my friend, Manny.  I wish I could hug you, friend, and make all the pain you have endured, disappear.

Friend
HeyThereLefty Dec 2014
I received an email today
with some of your last thoughts and words.
You wanted to change the world
but you are now no more.
I have never met you,
spoke with you,
seen you face to face.
But in reading your words,
I have found common ground.
You will never know me
and I will never know you.
While I’m still here
still stealing breaths while I can,
I want this to be clear...
You are my friend
and you have changed my world.
I just want to pay my respects.
HeyThereLefty Dec 2014
Often times when I need them most
my words will runaway.
Confounding me, leaving my mind to coast
while I can't find anything to say.
I have all these ideas I would like to boast
but in my mind, they won’t convey.

****.
I hate when this happens...

The Last Go Around
HeyThereLefty Dec 2014
My heart is a rodeo
and when I draw my last breath
I will finally win
my gold buckle.

The Reader and Her Book
HeyThereLefty Dec 2014
My favorite book, you know,
the one I read over and over again,
the one I never get tired of talking about,
the one with the story that hits me the hardest,
the one that makes me think,
the book I can’t put down
and makes me say
“just one more page”
before I go to bed.

The book that I never want to end.

The cover is brilliantly put together;
colorful, eye catching, yet fragile,
It’s beauty is not only in the cover,
It lies deeper within its contents.
A story so spellbinding it puts
Harry Potter and company to shame.
Pages filled with a love, so magnificent
John Green’s characters can’t compare.
A story and adventure so wildly vast,
not even Jodi Picoult could keep up.

Here’s the dilemma
the book I love most
Is sifted through with a fine tooth comb
when really it does not need to be,
And the worst of this dilemma
Is when I came to the realization that
My favorite book of all,
The one I have read and reread,
scribbling notes in the pages,
memorizing my favorite quotes,
and putting my own heart and soul
into its existence,
is when someone borrows it

and never gives it back.
A million thanks to Joe Adomavicia for the revision work.  He really helped to make it glide =]
HeyThereLefty Nov 2014
I look at your countenance
so close to my face
and it takes every ounce
of self control
to not discover*
*what you taste like

How I Take My Music
HeyThereLefty Nov 2014
I can't get close enough*
to my computer speakers
while my favorite band plays
so I inject the thumping
of the bass
*into my veins
Have you ever felt like this?
HeyThereLefty Nov 2014
As I lay with bated breath
my arms and legs drape over the sides of this bed
I collect the strength to carve a message into the hardwood floor:
“I loved her"
It's weird how you could be doing an everyday act and this morbid scene decides to play in your head.  I still don't believe in love.

Inna Heartbeat
HeyThereLefty Nov 2014
Give me a heartbeat
and I'll show you what I
can do.
HeyThereLefty Nov 2014
I took a nap
and he was there.
I fell asleep
and dreamt
that she was here.

The Observers Observation
HeyThereLefty Oct 2014
You are stuck in their world,
you are mommy and daddy’s little girl.
Once you are in the wild
you will drown,
the second your feet hit the ground.
You will be scared
with no family to be found.
That is when you will reach out for those that were close.
But hey look at that!
Are they around?  
Nope.
And when you look back to see who is around,
there I will stand
with my hand reaching out,
to pick you up off the ground.
I don't talk, I just listen and watch.

— The End —
