Ocho the Owl Jun 2014
Her eyes keep me awake at night
They pierce through my foul moods

and in them
galaxies begin and end

I am helpless and
at their mercy

They linger in me
Ocho the Owl May 2014
After the blazing inferno
that scorch us beyond recognition

comes
the gentlest of breezes

they whisper to us
ever so gently

"Stand up...."

Life is a quilt

This life of yours is made up of many, many pieces

Some bigger than others

Some bits will be torn
Others will be neatly shaped

All different colors for certain

All coming to form one giant cacophony of who you are

Always remember...

Your life is the whole quilt, not small part of it

See the beauty of your fine work

I wish I had a thousand lifetimes to love you

It would take precisely one thousand lifetimes...

Calculations have been made....

I would argue and banter with you
I'd  make love to you and stare deep into your eyes afterward
I'd build a chicken coup with you

I'd get mad at you for misplacing the keys, only to apologize right afterwards
I'd stop you in the middle of the street only to kiss you on the forehead
I'd tell you your favorite story when you went to bed
I'd grow old with you
So sweetly I'd worship every single moment

She has a gaze that feels like a gentle mist
Drizzles on my face & lips

Her touch is gentle

Her heart is a jigsaw puzzle piece
that fits right in my chest

Only on the fretboard
am I comforted anymore

the fretboard is my best friend & companion
the fretboard is my voluptuous lover
the fretboard is my interpreter, confidant & knowledgeable guide
i am lost without it

My crooked path winds on and on
you know where you can find me

Out of the fiery ashes

The owl rises again...

And again....and again.....and again.....
