Our Years

You know our years are not lost
our children
our laughter

I just couldn't take it anymore.
ignored and dying.

you will meet someone nice.

our years wont be lost,
you are you
and I am me.

The Moment
KA Feb 2014
RIGHT NOW is eternity
now of the perfect soul
in its eternity it moves to heights
ever evolving in its light
unencumbered lightness

BICYCLING on a Saturday morning
such as 10 years old
with the here and now
friends and swimming
all that mattered sunshine filling
eyes young and wide
legs spinning water rushing
laughing all the hope

YOU are that soul no matter
its all about the eternal now
you my fresh wide eye friend
the ever evolving is
the moment is here...

Water Rising
KA Mar 2014
LONG before he was born with hope
playing on coasters in the sun
a childhood of adventure and light

his best friend passed
his life in question
his reason lost

haircut bad
wearing pajamas to work
not bathing
and never the same

the lost man
shirt too tight
life not bright
lost in the tide
depression

Adults not too fun
serious and dark
live small and closing
choking the life from the cell
no where to turn maybe a cigarette
or liquid dreams but no where good

God is gone and no light
leaving the world blast off

crazy holding
logic gone
life ebbing
living is anger
til the end

a calm comes over me when I think of her
she in perfection
her boots and leather gloves
what was that all about?
was it our love a 1000 years
immigration of our tribe?
our journey by foot
over dusty hills
and mountain passes
our children from long ago
our old selves
its only time
time is not real
a blink of eternity
i am calm and my soul rests

You like others I know that
your current crush through the years
me never measuring up
you don't love me,
be honest
you would have let me die slowly
never really caring
not giving me a hand while i slip to depths
shrugging and moving on
pointing your pale finger at my sinking self
you have a crush and always did on others
me never measuring
never good enough

Thoughts of you.
KA Apr 2014
THE past claims me in the most selfish way.
the visions impairing my soul.
Visions of you wrapped with me.
your skin smelling of you, going deep.
The gasoline ignited with a simple thought.
the fire blazing high.
the burning out of control and not stopping until I am gone.
engulfed, willingly.

then a flame

love that lights as gasoline

bursting into the sky with wonder and heat
KA Oct 2014
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue and
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
You Know there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change
Are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love, To make you feel my love

Clinging the defense rattles
the high and mighty come out
you the mighty
you the arrogant
you the suckling infant
my my how we can change
the very human jump
to separate and be all that
the scramble to make one happy
look down on the low
you are but low
not wanting to know
how smart are you ?
arrogant one
do we need a reminder?

we are fools to think we are more
more than a speck
more than a wisp
clinging to the rocks
the mirage of safety
spitting up on ourselves
the lies

let yourself go into life
the truth
let go of the safety net
be honest to yourselves
you the small can lift up
cling no more my friends
lift past the safety of arrogance
of narcissism and self dilusion

you are better than that
be you
be one
be true

Farmer Blue
KA Feb 2014
Farmer Blue was a good man
He walks his land, he loves his fields
I see him daily in his blue shirt and big brimmed hat
dirt dust mud
pushing and carrying
tilling and seeding
his rows on rows
as Farmer Blue has done
when the train carried his produce
tracks gone long before
the last whistle heard when Wilson couldn't speak
Blue walking and working
gated houses built last year
fading in and out over the manicured
his fields long dead almost a century grown
he walks and works his fields from another time
fading in and out while the white Cadillac passes
Farmer Blue smiles and works
he fades in and out
he knows what the land needs
tells me to stay and enjoy
long ago his wife had passed
as the printed paper said Blue died too
dirt dust mud
tilling and working
my friend Farmer Blue

Suicide Options
KA Mar 2014
Suicide comes in array of colors
Some are more obvious
A gun,drug, jumping , etc
The norm

Or the subtle...
Sitting down to wait
A lifetime of waiting
Drinking coffee in a diner
Sitting around waiting to die
Waiting waiting
Not living
Just slow death
Waiting for the messiah
Waiting for happiness
Bones getting old
Liver giving up
Love growing mold
No foot prints
No verse

to have lived a life of extreme
for the curtain to go up now
for me to turn and all goes slow

the glint and smile
then it all began
a slow and long burn
i cant make it stop
you haunt me
i love you so
i love you so
i love you so

Crossing the Rubicon
KA Apr 2014
I step into the unknown,
burning my boat behind me,
never to see you again.

The swelling faces of many,
I won't miss you,
***** and sweet girl,
never again.

I move in the night
in the day,
not stopping.

The sun pierces my veins,
the heat unbearable.
Step, step,step.

Calling voices from the past,
singing a song of promise,
calling me to that known place.

Thinking of those winking eyes
makes my skin crawl.

I'm obvious,
not quiet,
rushing forth.

My whole being
throwing me forward,
away, away from the drawn
and known faces.

Moving to the unknown,
never to return,
.....ever.

Boarding on the towns of Lost and Forgotten,
my soul waits in a dusty bar.
The bleached bones of  the countless lay for miles,
the never-land of the desert,
the dry air burns the nostrils.

My heart never to be the same,
but the direction changes and moving on
to another town,
other people.

Using what I know
and knowing what is,
an adventure,
a life.

the cross and the crazy left behind too.

in the moment, the perfect moment.

One
After a lifetime of people and the coming and going,
I look into her jet black eyes and eternity stares back.
My soul rests.
KA Jan 2015
I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end


I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

WAS shimmering and now
I am losing my mind
though I loved her
yes I did and perhaps still do
I am a leaking boat
sinking slowly
the mist rolling over me
losing my view
losing myself
the light dimming
I am buried by the darkness
the light ebbing away
I am further out
alone and silent
missing her more
missing the touch
missing her enchantment
her crazy
the beauty
I love her
and always will
