Kristin

I wish I could say that I’m the type of girl that would reject you if you came back to me,
Apologizing,
Asking me to take you back.
But I know for a fact
That I would take you back gladly.
I would let everything go back to the way it was before you broke my heart
And forget that you ever even shattered my being into pieces.
I would kiss you with fervent want.
I would graze my nails across your back
After we’ve made love
And all that’s covering me are blankets
As you look back at me,
Your eyes wandering all over me
As if I don’t truly exist.
I would go back to letting you use my laptop for your homework.
I would go back to loving you, sweetheart.
But,
I can say though,
That yes, I would be the type of girl to take you back,
But if you expect me to take you back in a heartbeat,
Well, sweetheart, I’m sorry then.

Au Revoir

Au Revoir

I've said goodbye at bus stops
In coffee shops, on planes.
In broken down hotel rooms
and in sudden summer rains.
I've said it without speaking
when I could not find the words.
In parking lots, at funerals
and to the song of birds.
When forced to without meaning it
I've even said it too,
but the hardest thing I'll ever do
is say goodbye to you.

white beasts of dreaming

white beasts of dreaming

clouds flower over the sky

in patterns only identified by viewers of these white beasts

no two are the same

slowly they float adrift in the blue ocean

until they evaporate into oblivion

along with all other daydreams

Caught

You're laying on the beach on a hot summer day. You start sweating so you decide to cool off in the ocean for a second. You go too deep and you're swept off your feet and you find yourself tumbling under the waves. You come up for air but only for a second until the next wave crashes on top of you. Water is filling your nose, burning as it travels down your throat.You struggle to regain your footing. When the waves finally calm, you surface and you see that you have traveled farther than you expected. You start to swim back to shore, but unfortunately, another wave is forming. You swim faster hoping to escape your fate, but it's too late. You're already trapped under the forceful waves and you find yourself doing summersault after summersault. You claw your way back up to the surface looking around to see where you are. You're close to shore, so you swim back, letting the current push you. You decide to lay in the sand for a second to catch your breath.
So tell me, is this what it felt like to love them?

I Want To Release This Jadedness

I Want To Release This Jadedness

Today I will write,
I will write
about the rising sun,
and the way it reflects
off the daffodils
and makes the birds chirp up.
I'll write about all the beautiful things,
all the beautiful things in the world
that the media misses.

I remember once
down in Mexico,
I kissed Lydie on top of her head
and walked into the mist
toward the morning star.
I still think about the fun
we had that short summer.
It was sensational,
better than any news story
reporting bleakness.

Those are the things to remember.
And let us not forget
how short
our time really is,
lest we succumb to cynicism,
such cold-heartedness.

No more jaded thoughts for me...
uh huh.
