Little Black Dress
Long To Sail Jan 2014
The most arresting finery
Oh heart you have been warned.

Tempted are my eyes to see
Every moment you are donned.

Greatest
Long To Sail Jan 2014
In stories of love and conflict
The greatest were of me and you
The influence of hydroponics
Done unravelled a thing or two
Like the perfect slurps in life
Are of chowder not of stew
And the perfect us derived
From the balance of me and you
We basked in endless reverie
Though the years were but a few
This reality of fantasy held eternally
For today
     my love
           today
                I bid you
                                                Adieu.

Her beautiful door
He came in hate and anger
Splinters on his hand

Coteries are not for me.
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Would you judge me?
Do y'know i wont judge you?
Can I be anything I want to be?
Or are there rules I have to conform to?

Spaceman cowboy hippie gangster stoner rockstar chef painter poet
playwright carpenter inventor scientist mathematician author actor
gardener tailor sailor musician comedian doctor pilot barista volunteer
partyplanner spiritualist director engineer psychologist beautician

Please do forgive me but there's more.
I'm greedy, I know, I want it all.
Immense experiences galore.
Money to me means null.
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Nearly two month's gone by since we last met.
Seeing you now reminds me how I've missed you.
The crinkle at the corner of your eyes.
The way they deepen as you smile.
And your eyes disappear.
Smile.
You always do.
You never fail to make me too.
We'd argue. We'd laugh.
These little things make me remember you.
You are my reason I live life gently.
But never soft, like a real man should be.
This time it's my turn to buy you breakfast.
And I'll try to see you more, I love you Daddy.

Heroes
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Brick by brick. I have built a wall around you.
Alas comes he, demolishing what I've constructed.
Little does he know, I erected not one but a few.
Some walls, I doubt, even you knew existed.

Just like the rest he'll tear them down with kindness.
Cause, oh tender love, all you seek is some attention.
Estranged, these men truly think I have left you loveless.
Selfish me, only with me shall you embrace affection.

They pursue with presumption that they came to save you,
They pursue with presumption that they came to love you.
The robust walls they've destroyed imprudently to seize you.
Unknowing my intention was to protect them from yours truly,               **You

A smile.
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Is that what I think it is?
It is!
Have you reciprocated?
You have!
Will I overthink this situation?
I won't!
But have I fallen unintentionally?
I have!
And I don't even know your name.

A poet in my head
Long To Sail Jan 2014
I am no poet
I lack skill to compose
But in my head, filled to the brim
I've too much to say in riddles it seems

But you, oh you, you'll be a star someday
I hope i inspired in substantial ways
Maybe soon I'll thrive
Maybe a poet

The Nomad
Long To Sail Jan 2014
I don't know
Where I'm going
But I know
I'll get there soon

Where I lay
My head is home
The undiscovered
World, my room

In my cup
Long To Sail Jan 2014
Full bodied. A crimson blend.
Sugar and milk. Woah, transcends.
The sweetness over your toasty brew.

Years taken away. So was murky density.
Just sugar infused. Tis was culminated destiny.
Has elimination brought enhancement?

"Black. Just black"
Am I for real?
I embrace you for you. Smell. Taste. Feel.
Less for more. Will I soon drink an empty cup?

I'm appreciating nothing as everything anyway.
