I am weary.
Bright pink and
Blue jeans,
Comforting arms.
A mood undefinable,
Sad and rejoiced,
Unfortunately fortunate.
The wind carries the
Water which falls…
Spatters, drips
On me.
Careless I am, but
Confused and lost yet,
Happy and content.
Bright pink and
Blue jeans,
The sunrise.

A day of triumph it is
When I walk away
And do not look back
…For a moment, at least.
It ceases appearing
To be a moment
Which I grip with my
Utmost strength and
Intertwine every hazy night
With my eager fingertips but
Alas, it falls away,
Always slipping out of my hold.
A piece of it I will forever cherish
As I softly smile and
My recollection breaks free
As if it were a slideshow;
In the background tender music plays.
Waves crash so far beyond me
I can only wonder how, why but
Instead I let the salt burn and
Am welcome home with a cheers,
Those eternal clinking glasses,
Broken bottles, deep sleep
Beginning at dawn when the music
Stops playing;
All to repeat as the fireflies glow and
Mosquitoes they sting and the itching’s so great
And maybe, a lover to
Drag up the stairs and
Unmake the bed with but
Alas, it falls away.

It seems old flames
Can be rekindled quite quickly,
Or perhaps never went out at all.
There is not much sense in extinguishing fire
When it is light you need to guide the way.
These peaks we climb,
Are not something we plan for.
But always we find a message
Hidden in adventures.
The long-windedness of days
Identical to the one before,
In the dark and confused,
Is expected and accepted, but wrong.
For we come out with the message,
Disembark with a lesson,
'Twas a candle that lit the way.
Seldom do we treasure it
For what it is worth.
When I emerged
And was equipped with light
I found myself asking
Why I left without it.

I am trying to feel, you see
It is me, numb from the core but
Always wanting more yet
Obsessing
Over a chance to be free.
I feel nothing. I see nothing;
Dust in the wind
Never a worry
Of whether I’ve sinned and I’ve
Lost it all I’ve lost everything
And I’m standing here
In front of the ocean
Please, just let me fly it’s
Going, going, going, gone
The beat to the song,
The rhythm to the rhyme
One more time, teach me please
To get down on my knees so
You’ll listen when I say
I’ve lost everything.

Smile, eyes glitter,
Fingers grip,
In your eyes…
You don’t know.
In front of the world,
We have each other,
You keep me sane,
You keep me clean
In your eyes.
Can’t break it off,
Something intangible
And unique which
I am unfamiliar with,
In your eyes
It’s love.
Facing the ocean
Vulnerable front and back
You let go for once and
Swing in the breeze,
You sway like you’ve never
Opened your mind to a
World I can show you,
Lovely and brand new,
In your eyes.

Someday I’ll watch
The sun fall in the evening
When the stars barely glisten
And feel the breeze blowing,
I’ll be happy in this.

Nothing kind about a day like today,
The dismal thoughts match dismal gray.
Can only see the clouds this way
Clouds my mind, my world today.
The only light shone barely through
Nothing’s color, nothing moves.
Nothing takes the world’s hue,
It’ll never go from gray to blue
At least that’s how the dreary feel,
Like getting worse when nothing heals
And breeds this everlasting wheel
It's only false, it’s never real.
Yes, the funeral wheel it clouds my head,
Don’t feel alive, but not quite dead
Which keeps the lingering sadness fed
Just eats black, mind’s morbid bread.
