I'm wandering the trail
In search of a rock
Perhaps a boulder
To lean on
When exhaustion sets in
But the stones I choose
Are clay
And when it rains
They disintegrate
She calls through my window
Pleading for souls to rest
Her ebb yawns
Her flow hums
She is chaos
She is serenity
She is Mother
She is life
Her lullaby brings slumber
She is where my soul sleeps
After all this time of outlining and trying to perfect my strokes,
I'm learning that it's nice to color outside the lines.
It can change the whole picture.

Higgs
From the upstairs window
She has a wonderful view of him
And she likes what she sees.

She stares intently.
Her heart beats faster
Her mouth opens
And she almost drools
As she considers the possibilities
And imagines all kinds of fun...

But soon
Alas
It is over

And he flies away.
My cats seem to spend more time watching birds through windows than they do actually hunting them. I suppose that's a good thing and it allows me to see the expressions on their faces as they imagine catching their prey!
i think about you
when i go to fall asleep

you run circles in my mind
make me dizzy with giddy feelings of love and happiness

i imagine that you're laying beside me
close enough for me to hear your heartbeat

you're always smiling in these daydreams
the love you hold for me apparent in your eyes

but those are in my childish fantasies
not reality

in reality
you are the opposite

you stay stationary under my glance or gaze
and make me sick with horrible feelings of worry and dread

i see that you're walking far away from me
far enough for me to be unable to make out your shape

you're always frowning in the real world
the love you once held for me extinguished in your eyes

i yearn to see the you from my daydreams become true
i yearn to see the you from the real world become false

i dream of the day the you i fell in love with becomes real again

it is morbid thinking,
i'm aware of it.
stroll down into
a cemetery
and that urge to
pull the daisies
and the roses
and the lilies
and every flower
from the gravestones
takes full control,
like instinct
in a hunting
animal,
the colors on the bleak
sun and rain washed
rocks
sicken me.
what's the reason
for the dead to
petition for
more beauty?
is the glorious
eternal sleep
not enough for them?
greedy *******.
a week ago I wrote this. it's alright i think.

AM
Thank you for loving me
And I'm sorry that I cannot do the same
For I seldom express my love
And am only capable of causing pain
