A Haiku

The night sky is bright
So alive and so busy
Unlike her dark eyes

Coffee so cold that it cuts through the dark like the moonlit rays’ mere hours before
The feeling of fog which should not last and could not for long
No song for this, bask in quietness
For awakenings upon do not belong

Upon awakening

Your Incessant Moaning

Does it burden you to say
that you can barely measure the length of your tongue?

I wasn't here out of my own volition.
We're just literally bound by blood.

So...

Here's your free pass.
You can frolic all you'd like.
For the six quintillionth time,
Here's your pass.

It's not like most people reap what is sown.

At least I have my sanctum residing here.

I don't know what I'd do if you stepped inside.

The Same Me?

I am too much of an all or nothing
Not enough of a contented now

An exhale warm in the breath of time
And a tall windmill standing still

With a quiet mind that won't shut up
And an open mouth to catch the rain

Unceremoniously I stand
On a world of ever encircling change

And I am the same
Am I the same?

Who knows if I was always this way? Definitely not me... Lol. Question mark? Lol.

Acorns

Tear the idea limb from limb, until the acorn of truth falls.
And then, rend the earth and begin again.
Until another, and another
And another thought begins.
Growing slowly with every Fall.

Acorns everywhere. So are thoughts. Growing. Let them go.

Unactualize Desire

My desire for you
More than anything
Is that you'd be at peace beneath these eaves
That you could sleep more deeply than the sea
And dream, oh baby that you could dream
Of the distant starlight you can barely see
My desire for you
More than anything
Is that you'd be my most comfortable everything

Some verses, for me, are just sentences or passing thoughts. Whishes in unspoken form that just ARE for me. I say unactualized because I know where I am. And heck, I don't know what I'll do tomorrow. So who knows what my life will be. Who knows?

Worry Out, Not In

Just about everything you worry about
Is not about
And does not matter

It's the things you don't see
And do not worry about

Those are the things that you have to watch out for

Worry Out, Not In

She Is Ember

You are ember with less orange
You are tree bark true and brook trout at play
You are earthy as the hollow dell in the Catskills still
Turning as the waterways

You are ever moving, always slight
Looking back over those delicate shoulders of yours
To the footprints of me
And in the time spent therein not a day’s older

I don’t know her name
But I know what I see

Passing. Glances. Scent of trees.

Whereas...

It takes a quiet mind to sit and listen, to live this life slowly.

An insatiable appitie is an aggressive death, desire to express and to capture the expression wherever it stands.

As compared to. The opposite.
