If thoughts could be weighed and sold,
I'd be a millionaire by now.

But it can't so instead i'm an amateur poet.

I'm a dreamer
I don't want to be with someone
who would dream with me
Instead
I want him to take me to reality

Sometimes beneath close eyelids
I quest to bring you back
As if you were driftwood floating
Downstream on your back.
I dip my hands beneath the veil
And dry away the death
And from my parting, weeping lips
I give you back your breath-
Just like the rising sunset burning
In the summer sky
Paints and saints the mountaintops
And casts their colors bright.



Unrhymed Notes:

Sometimes I dream I can bring you back
Just as simply as dipping my hands into the water
To retrieve a floating piece of driftwood;
Dry the death from your skin
And breath life back into you
The way the sunrise reanimates
The Dark Mountains
Each and every day.

I see your Ocean eyes open
Embrace you like I'm trying to
Fold you into my skin
Where I can keep you always
And feel your summer peach warm flesh
Tangible against my permafrost fingers.

If the dead could talk
Nothing profound would leave your lips
They'd only quirk into a Cheshire smile
And you'd tell me to let go
Relinquish
Move along and stop standing still
Life is for the Living
Death is for the dead
And dreams are for the foolish.


"You *******."
I was at the beach earlier today.
During my time in the ocean, I noticed how all the waves were different.
(Obviously)
Each wave had a different effect on me.

Most hardly effected me.
Then there were the ones that would take me a few steps back.
One hit me rather hard, took some of my breath away.
Ah,
        but the ones I remember, those would lift you up if you jumped with them. So high they would take you...but you know what the thing about letting something lift you is?
       Most never stay with you. Most never continue holding you up.
  
   You fall.

The most comforting thing is this.
You get better at landing each time.
Maybe one day you won't have to fall.
One day you will stay up.
Dear Love,

Please excuse us letting others get in the way of reaching you.
Jealousy
Envy
Dishonesty
*Doubt
There are plenty others.
