1.
you smile
as the moon falls through the blinds
landing on your olive tones
sending chills throughout my bones
Weary
you can disarm me so well
too free with that knowing glance
for this is a novice romance
Watching
you dream, even the garden
gnome i stole can't help but stare
as you lie there without a care
Beseech
the sandman to keep his distance
his success will separate us
in the land of Nod we are lost
2.
dawn breaks
through the clouds with the sound of thunder
and threatens to tear us asunder
under the bedding
we could be sweating
betting i would take the day off
just to keep you here in my loft
scoff then if you must
this isn't mere lust
trust is a three way stop on a two way street
these words fall to the floor as i rise to my feet
agreed i'll leave and grab us some brunch
white wine cheese and some pears to munch

I write words
which are guilty by association
a biased vanity
a weakened proclamation
a rhyming confession
vaguely detailed obsession
which preys upon my idle mind
occupying my excess time
if I could just
relish
this coffee scented existence
like Marley I won't wait in vain
my character was built
on inconsistent persistence
with all of my offenses
its no wonder you present such resistance
hesitance for an obvious reference

midnite will arrive on its own terms
may it come in waves
I'm emotionless and starved
hoping for the best and the rest is reality
its a stoic majestic bleak perspective
resplendence can't be bought with a sixpence
when innocence is subjective

acutely disputed and often refuted
everybody is down on their knees
echoes throughout empty halls
empty hearts exposed to loosely associated truths
and poorly conceived metaphors
a malcontent in mismatched boots
equally disinterested with
the feelings and good intentions
or any other invention of idle minds
