This Clown

Here I am, back on the ground and beaten down. Filled wit love but wear the mask of a clown.. I'll tell you honestly, I was at the top I flew among kings and for a moment I had thought. These angel's with wings, who's soft lips did comfort lonely soul.. Why would it stop?.. Now to go on, supposed to find our roads, to search for my own "beautiful life", a brand new rose? "This clown, this joker, this suffering artist", call me what you will, but kindly I leave with a parting gift- This is not a shout for "help!", I'm not trying to connect, jus that I am like all of you, another clown in respects. It is easy to stumble, it is easy to fall, but we are here for each other, Heart, Mind, Body, Soul and All..

Lucky

I knew,
I knew it was coming.
From the moment you put in the
extra effort to walk me to my car,
you slipped on your sneakers
and walked me down the driveway.
My heart pounded as if to escape its very confines
because it knew the unspoken love between us
was about to grow.
As we said our usual goodbyes,
we hugged and I turned my head,
as only instinct knew how,
in order to meet your lips.
And then it happened!
...You kind of ate my mouth…
Clearly we both had very different ideas
on how this whole ‘first kiss’ thing worked,
but it didn’t matter.
After that first kiss, I only wanted more.
You are my boyfriend,
my lover,
my significant other
and as I fumbled with the keys to my car
and sank into the driver’s seat
I realized just how lucky I was
to be in love with you.

Time

We are the births
We are the deaths
We are the lives
We are the gorgeous
We are the ugly
We are the insecure

For within our time
Only
These are for sure.

The morning

The morning

the way you rub the sleep from your eyes in the morning
may be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
before the day wears down your body
and creates a shadowy outline below your eyelashes
In that split second I can lose myself in you

I fall in love with the transparency of the moment
Such a simple action, yet so honest
and then you open your eyes

Too Much Morning Coffee

Lets
lay it all out here
shall we?

Because
I just have this
inexplicable urge
to unfold myself
for you.

I want to
ask you all kinds of
odd and intrusive
questions.

I want to
climb inside and
pick apart
everything
that makes you tick.

But,
at the same time
I anticipate
being surprised
by the things
I couldn't know
about you
yet.

I want to wind up
this thread
between us
and see why it's there
and how I can
keep it.

You make my
mind whirl
and my heart beat
so slowly,

Like it's waiting for you
to catch up.

Does this sound insane to you?

Because
I'm the one thinking
these things
and feeling...
Always feeling
when you are
around me.

I see you
guarded
and maybe yearning?

If I had
a white flag
to wave for you
I would.

Though
my insecurity of
being overwhelming and
intense,
keeps us both from
taking those
first steps
toward each other.

open your ribs
and let me breathe my love
into your lungs

slit your veins
and let me paint my passion
across your chest

part your lips
and let me snake my tongue
all the way down to your heart

spill your mind
and let me see
what a lovely mind dares accompany
such a lovely face

lessons in self-destruction

In a different life maybe I would be too skinny and my arms would be cut up and I'd be with the wrong crowd swallowing the wrong pills and maybe you'd see how much you hurt me reflected in how much I hurt myself.
