See

I know
we're who ever we want.
And I believe
it is all one great big tool.

Everything
and nothing at once
We can
And
We do

I Will Always

No need is there
For you, fear not
I will not judge,
could never not
love with the entirety
of a father's heart.
No secret is required.
You'll never be any less
to the eyes that know you
as do those of mine.
I love, will love, always
No matter will sway this.
Know that no need be there
To not be true, to yourself
because I raised you to be
To me, you're nothing less
than perfect.
Believe this.

I Don't Know

I don't know...
Until i do.
What it means to miss someone
To long for conversation
Or be a rock in a storm
Be a reason for spontaneous purchase
recipient of affections
one half of a whole
being wanted as reward
I don't know
Not anymore

A Moment Please.

Are we at the late or early stage
of a moment in a unique time?

Should we say goodnight and accept
such moments are even real to the likes
of you and I?

Could we not? Refuse the death of one cycle
of one day that in my heart resounds and outlasts
the grasp of all else but how we felt?

And if we do relent and bid reluctant pardons?

How long to relive and reunite should the sun
choose never again to rise?

One more moment, You and I.

Made of granite

Life presses it's pressures against
stone indistinct as we are borne
The entirety; the whole of our time
Granite tooled by choices chosen
Unmolded; solid and raw
To be sculpted pieces fall
Bit by bit broken away
Revealing that which remains

Everything Right

You have no understanding
of how often
Unspoken;
These, my musings
thwart the rhythmic crumbling
of my heart.

how brief; between

these lulles; awaken
a result not unlike
heaven igniting

lightning; Arcs out
impressive warnings such

Turmoil impending

As are your storms borne
frequent and every memory
thoughts often; a steel rod,...

You were my sky;
filling my lungs with life

Fuel to my beating heart…

now crumbling

And,.

without. hollow.

You.. were,..

everything right.

My 2nd Life

I've spent my second life
With known purpose and growing reason.
Doing what I knew right and watched
In pure joyful amazement that reason growing
From fragile and helpless you were
To eye to eye, and qualities that reside
Take hold and swell my chest in pride
An amazing soul and grown man before me
I thank you for saving me from that first life
My third approaching too quickly.
As it shall as it should. Will I be ready.
Though the second will forever mean more
To the selfish man inside me.
