Today I stopped
I looked around
A long deep breath
A sigh out loud

How long have I
Been in this place
And never noticed
Solemn grace

The air around
The trees alive
The clouds above
The endless sky

A morning dew
A ray of sun
A summer breeze
Alone with one

Im
not the hero
not the villain
not the love interest
not the clown

Im the supporting actor

The one that can disappear for a while
then reappear

The one that is there so often
Its just granted if its there

The one that
if it leaves,
The story just goes on.

The hero defeats the villain
Marries the love interest
Has the clown there for laughs
and
maybe occasionally think
back
on
the
supporting actor.

Sometimes they die
Sometimes they turn dark
Sometimes they have a movie
about them that just doesn't quite take off.

but supporting actors
are cool.

They were always my *favourite

it isn't you
            it's the mess inside my head;

When a girl thinks of you
In the most intimate setting
She embraces the thought
Of her wedding night
Letting herself go to you
Once you've given her your heart

When a boy thinks of you
In the most intimate setting
He thinks of the deed
In a car park, on a couch
Wherever is most convenient
Letting himself go to you
Once you've given him your body

When I think of you
In the most intimate setting
I think of the love and commitment
That I have given to you
Letting myself go to you
My whole heart and body

When you think of me
In the most intimate setting
Do you think of how you love me
Or of how much you care
While letting yourself go to me
Your heart, or just your body?

The faith
What is it?
And why should I keep it?
Maybe it's the collective faith
That I should keep?
Because my own,
Well,
It's fairly solid.
It has a strong foundation.
Thick walls.
Earthquakes come occasionally
It's fallen
Been rebuilt
Again and again
Stronger each time.
i must work on the
Collective faith.
Not everyone has
Strong faith.
No person alive
Is always built tall.
We all have cracks in our walls.
Leaks in our ceilings.
Loose doors.
And we are never alone in out
Faith-house.
There are friends inside
But more often than not
The majority is enemies.
To me
"Keep the faith"
Means to hold up each others' walls.
To patch their roof.
To bring housewarming gifts.
And to be the friend among enemies.
