If ever you need a shoulder to cry on,
I'm always here.
If ever you need someone to talk to,
I'm always here.
If ever you need to be proven how much you're loved,
I'm always here.
If ever you need to see a will to keep going,
I'm always here.
Going on a binge here. Whoops.

It feels a little like knowing that you're the steady choice,
Not quite spontaneous or risky enough to grab their attention in the first
Moment,
But warm and always there
People take advantage of that, falling in and out of love, but always Knowing that there's the soft warmth waiting for them at home
I fear that if I ever marry, that my husband will stray, seeking out more
Adventure while trusting in the quiet commitment of me

Dearest one please silence your sobs
and let your eyes dry.

He is going, going, going.
You’re growing, growing, growing.

Please know that is enough.

Don’t mistake love with coincidence.
He loved you for your little habits
and your soft attitude.
You loved him for the way the room
shifted when he entered it.

You still have your gentle voice and
little ways of life.
Hold onto something when you
see him again, the room will sway.

Please know that is just the way it
will be for a little while.

You loved him.
You may still love him.

But please know that you are
growing, growing, growing.
And he is going, going, going.
And that is enough.

Ha! Here I am
still

Reflecting upon my efforts to contend
Mending broken pieces
in my very own fence

Finding myself
with hope
even after all of those bends

I am still Going
Where(?) I shall discover all in due time

Now, realizing
this is Prime

I mustn't race

I am still surely Going
Cars all driving off
To work in a rush,
For fear of missing the same
Old thing.

Wind is desperately
Trying to move me,
But it isn't going to do
A thing.

Things all running,
Rushing, flying out to see
New places, but never stay
So long to look.

We could all be
Going somewhere,
If we stayed
A while to look.

Look at the footprints,
Running through the
Grass, all so
Unaware.

Trying to mark
Something, somewhere.
But where? Well they're
Unaware.

Unaware of the world
Turning us where it
Disappears

Holding onto dandelions
Thinking maybe I could
Disappear

I struggle and I fight.
But my goal fades of into the fog.
Losing sight of my persistence.
Weeds pulling me down.
Feeding the resistance.

I can't stop, I go down I won't have it in me to pull up.
Don't give in.
Break the chains of the corrupt of heart.
Muscle that birthed the sword for my back.

Always on the move
Never content to stay in the same place twice
Five miles or a thousand
As long as when its time to sleep, its someplace different
Constant yearning to go
No matter how far or how many times its never enough
Coast to coast
Traveled north, south, east and west. . . and even further
The worlds not enough
Could travel to the Moon and back or out past Mars
And still
Will never find a place like home
I have, and always have had the need to travel, see the world find excitement, adventure and good food. I love to leave, going away for months at a time. Yet there is nothing as satisfying as coming home.

the wind she plays dangerously with me,
she picks up leaves and chucks them, hardly
missing my vulnerability,

but just then, she softens her voices
leaving me tense, listening and with no choices,
walking is too far while waiting for the next furry,

oh the turbulence of Spring brings up
the dead leaves of Winter to over-fill my cup
with worry, some woe, some wanted need, to go

and yet you don't know her beauty-in-this-Poetry, it does not show,
and I know not where, to find The Source as such.
well with winter on its way out, west coat style, but that's not what this is about.
AJ Feb 2015
Some nights I wish
For the dark to go on forever.
For the night to never end.
For this day to not become the next
but to simply stay as this one night.
This perfectly, quietly, peacefully, dark
Night.
