The lady

Freeformed
platformed
imagination
unadorned
I look at her legs
I look at her waist
I look in her eyes
and I want to taste her.
Chaste though she maybe
she will be my baby
she doesn't know yet but what I want
I will get
by fair means or foul means
if it seems to be right
then it is.
She will thank me one day
When I say
that
'I do'

Did you think I was that low
that I would hold her and let go
then you do not know me.
She will become
the sunlight
in my night
in my day
I'll pay her attention
she will be the heart in
my home
all I want she has known and will know
as I look at her
long for her
I cannot bear life without her.

Dare I ask her to be one with me
dare I?
I'm just the guy with that look in his eye
and his eye on a life
with her being my wife.
Dare I?
wear my heart on my sleeve
could I ever believe that she'd love me?
Kiss me
dismiss me
release me and free me from this fire that rages within me?
Freeformed
I fight with desire
and into that fire I return
to burn with a lust
until I turn to dust
when imagination must
break loose.

Back in time
somewhere in '69' or was it seventy?
I really can't recall
but it was in the Fall.

We made plots and studied well the plan
of how it was to be
to become a man.

Back in time
somewhere in '69' or was it seventy?
it's no longer clear to me.

My memories
like Summer days run free
across my history
and it gets hard to see.
People fade as I sit in the shade
under the apple tree
so sweet is reverie.

Thinking back in time
when I was yet to climb
those cliffs I couldn't see
just a memory.

I want to celebrate you

All through life,
I forgot the day until
I'm reminded by others
but now that you're gone
I remember the day each year
without any help
the day feels so empty
so meaningful yet
meaningless
I want to surprise you with
something special
some bright flowers
or a pretty piece of jewelery
to visit you, or at least
give you a call
and wish you a happy birthday
to hear your voice, and give you a hug
to tell you how wonderful you are
and just how great of a mother you are
to go back to all those years
that I forgot and let the day pass
without meaning
and to make sure that you knew
just how much I appreciate you

But now to go to your place of rest
to see your name written there
the words we picked
that doesn't even begin to describe
to sit on the dirt and weep
bring some flowers that you'll
never see or smell,
that someone will clean
up in a week or two
brings me to the thought
that, that might just bring some peace
some closure
some way to show you how much I care
but I can't even do that,
being miles and miles away
though even if I was closer
would I?

I can be close to you
as close as I can get now
anywhere I am
with but a thought

Happy Birthday Mother

The sun's breaking the horizon,
bringing each day anew
though it's always been there
we are just moving through
to meet this sun with glittering eyes
staring at its birth
mesmerizing
tantalizing
wanting more more and more
knowing this has happened
it shall come again
I am here to meet you
day after day
to learn your every crevice
your every crater and bridge
the sun is breaking the horizon
it shall be new today

Wait! Stop!
Don't let it slip from your fingers
because you have it,

you really do.

Close your eyes and don't forget,
let the memories wash over you like a hot shower;
feel clean.
Feel beautiful,
because that's what you are.

That's what we all are.

Never forget that you have ten fingers,
and ten toes,
and no one can take that away from you.

Stop being afraid of who is behind you,
because in front of you - there are birds.
There are layers,
and tree branches, begging to be climbed.
Don't stress out when your tea gets cold because you can always make more.

I'm allergic to cats but that won't stop me from touching noses with kittens,
I'm afraid of my past but that isn't going to hold me back anymore.
