I do not think of you
As dead.
I rarely think of you at all.

Time is mischievous,
Stealing you a second time.

Driving in the rain
Reminds me of you -
Slow drip drops.

Collisions so soft,
a violent meeting of souls.

Strength is not found,
But made;
Steeped in action
When life
can no longer be ignored.

Your fate does not wait
For you to muster courage,
Hold it up and examine.
You must take to plunging deep
And refuse to hold back.

Time is counting down
With precision
And a painful sense of urgency
The world spins beneath us,
We're upside down you see

For just one moment,
I wish you could hear clearly

Don't you see the clouds above us?
And the birds that dare to be free
Oh how I wish time would win
Less frequently

Borrowed time or stolen years,
Call it what you will,
But that won't be enough for me
The glass, it never fills

I could write forever
Spill my heart upon this page
Search for the perfect rhyme
To capture you


Oh but all I want to do is
Gaze upon
What makes the flowers bloom,
And sing, oh so sweetly,
Splattered colorfully
All glory to you

This is the beginning of the end,
Ending quite suddenly
With a quiet dignity,
Drip-dropping snow drops
Led away with sun beams

Joy bubbles over,
As if prancing or kneeling
Upon today,
Yearning - straining -
Beauty is the same

They said I could be anything,
Think outside the box,
To hell with limits, burn it all way

You can buy your dreams in color
Give your heart away
Oh you just can't be
that.

no how. no way.

How Newton binds us
Laws, lives, gravity confined
Yet somehow free from floating
Drifting our souls
Way away from
What they can't (won't) love -

Lies are more complicated
Perfect for this  haphazard world
Run by a box of rules
With an orderly guise

Be what you will,
As long as it isn't

that.
