Patterns

You think you know me
Because you know of patterns
You know the way of people
And you've been told the way the world turns..

You expect my next move
As if we are playing a game of chess
And you anticipate your next win
Upon my unmoved guess..

I tell you now,
that you know nothing of my mind
I move with the waves of my heart
My chosen next move is mine.

Little Wolf

Little wolf, let me tell you something. The world is an imperfect place. It is violent and cruel. You will not learn from me and my lessons, little wolf, you will learn from your own. And I could shelter you and smother you, and yet you will still learn the worst of the world.

You will love and you will be loved. You will run and you will collapse. You will hurt and others will follow you because of your bright light. That same light will attract others who want to put out your flame. But I tell you now, little wolf, they cannot. They cannot burry your soul and quit your howl. The moon will always be yours and you will always be the symbol of love and strength

Untitled

A pretty face can carry you far
But when the beauty is gone
They will move on

And even though your heart is made of gold
They will see no value
Because they are always looking for the next best you.

Thought this was relevant to the corporate world and also in relationships sometimes.

Begging Tumble ****

He walks with himself
He is his own best company.
He pushes forward and you often do not notice
You ignore his plead but you see him wander
A breathing tumble ****.
Shrubbish, wobbly, and *****
He zig zags through the crowd
Sometimes he screams and he too cries
Just like you
Sometimes he trembles in the night
Just like you
Sometimes he dreams of better days
Just like you.

A brief and scattered poem about a homeless man I encountered.

Position of Power

I see beauty in you,
Through your kindness.

Where the rest of the world may only see a man
I see a savior.
I see passion and strength.

I see you and I feel love.
I feel that the human race may have a real chance at survival and our world may be saved.

Your voice echoes through my mind and ripples through my veins.
I listen to you because I believe in you.
I believe in what you stand for.

I wish to be nowhere else but here, with you.

My thoughts of him.

Wild One

There was something wild in her
Something corrupted
Something destructive
I often wondered if there was a fighter plane
soaring high in her skies
Fighting to defend something precious.

There was something wild in her
Something loud
Something overwhelming
I observed her in her calmest state and watched
as she demanded power from the others
But in the most manipulative way,
where you would never know it was a command.

There was something wild in her
Something loving
Something passionate
I was blessed to lay with her from time to time.
I wanted her heart for all of these reasons,
But she was too wild for anyone.

It just came to me..

luminessence

Come and be my bright light
To illuminate my dark way
Grab my hand and run off with me
Tell me that you need me to stay.
