#reliable
You were my only first!
You were the one I needed!
When I woke up at first light,
You were my best indeed!
You were so strong for me,
Reliable like a rock!
In moments of agonising anguish
You were my only block!
I never not even thought that
I’d have to confess to you:
I’m sorry, it hurts me, but it can’t be helped,
I have to break up with you.
My bitter coffee of hopes!
My hot coffee of dreams!
Please, know one thing, in my heart forever
You were and you are my essential things!

All is round
The globe
The earth's orbit
It all repeats
Our history
The moon cyle
Yet it adds
Some reliability
It is predictable
Where is it?
The originality?
The free will?
If everything just
Cycles continuously
Where is change?
Is it possible?
Can change
Happen at all?

Your presence be known, if needed,
In a pinch,
You’re here or there when summoned,
Yet never praised,
Often overlooked and misunderstood.
Always guessing where this road will end,
How backwards is over where you bend,
For all of whom claim to be your friend,
Your classiness and craftiness I will always commend.
Finding nowhere to rest my head,
You were a place to lean on,
A host when I had no place to dream,
A mentor of my bizarre fantasies,
Of all trades that you’ve mastered,
That I aimed to perfect.
Ages lightyears apart,
Yet still closely in tune,
We play the same music,
A grasshopper to your sensei,
I sail the endless seas of your knowledge,
A lighthouse to my rocky waters.
With shared poverty,
You scraped together your last,
To fill my belly with lamb,
Your cynicism of man,
Your confidence in me,
A father and son, not quite
A grandfather and grandson, hardly,
An odd couple that just makes sense.
A Sinatra-like scholar,
With more brains, ***** and bravery,
You are a man’s man for men,
Everything that I want to be,
And everything that I could need,
In a friend.

relationships
are water on the rock
erosion
rust on iron
corrosion
a match to nitroglycerin
explosions
it's love undeniable
minor indiscretions unbeknownst to you
picked apart
it's having someone reliable
to leave you stranded and alone in your moments dark
joy undescribable
when you're stabbed in the heart

You are reliable and kind,
The words you say are always true,
And everybody wants to find
Such a devoted friend like you.
Because when somebody’s in need,
You always try to help this one.
And all your actions are indeed
Worth praises for they are well-done.
Your smile is so sincere and warm,
Of sunny days it does remind.
And in your eyes there is no storm,
They mirror joy and peace of mind.
To you so skillful hands belong,
They add nice touches to our world.
Toward adventures with a song
You always keep your sail unfurled.
So every day be on your best,
Rejoice in everything you do.
Let all your days on earth be blessed
And always all your dreams come true.

inexplicably beautiful
my favorite human
my best friend
it's been a while
you're still walking through hell trying to find yourself
fighting everyday
searching for something to fill the void
you are not you're struggles, you're bigger
never leaving
a pinky promise

even the greatest fall weak sometimes,
sometimes, people forget to realize,
maybe those certain things didn't occur because they simply weren't made to happen,
Or at least that's what we've obtained periodically.
Thinking and trusting that things just happen for a reason,
Can't possibly compensate or supplant for a lucid explanation as to why situations maintain escalation.
Still wondering why?
Well, I too ponder sometimes.
Even to a fulfilled extent,
It's merely another attempt to feel something yet again.
No reminders or play back buttons to reverse or change time,
Sometimes, we all forget how to embrace the superficial reality of facing the feeling of what it truly makes us feel alive.

As I fumble with these pieces,
Struggling to sort it
Fit it all together,
Medicine to make it better
Treasure lost forever,
An unnamed, un-posted letter
Searching for something
A reason, a purpose
In my bed, turning
Nervousness and stomach churning
Heart burning
Mind learning
Pressing forward, experimenting
Hidden facts presenting
A purpose to live
And a purpose to die
A purpose to tell a person
Everything will be alright!

When your resolve fails you,
And your strength leaves you,
I will neither fail nor leave
And help you to carry on.

When wind blows strong
And thunder rolls on
I'll hide behind my cinder block
When wars upset me
And the world threatens to get me
I'll hide behind my cinder block
When doors are slammed
And I can't stand
I'll hide behind my cinder block
When days are long
And I refuse to go on
I'll hide behind my cinder block

I don’t know what I would do
without your lips tracing those clustered purple lines
and your eyes telling me I’m beautiful anyway.
Without your hand on my swollen head
when I let eighteen years of **** burst onto that
plaid button-up I love so much.
Without your crude sense of humor making me laugh
until my ribs threaten to crack
and a snort escapes
(I don’t know how you think that’s cute)
And your professions and confessions that fill
my heart in ways I don’t understand but simply
can’t get enough of.
Without your being heating the back of mine
while I plant light kisses on your every finger
and that smile that gives away the lie
when you say you don’t like it.
Without those green eyes creating sparks in my soul
(Who knew I could house such a blaze?)
Without your jigsaw mastery
when I drop the puzzle and lose all the pieces.
I don’t know what I would do
without you.

Eyes averted
Guilt ridden eyebrows
Dominate expression.
I loved her so much
But now she's ****** everything up
There is remorse in her eyes,
Regret whirs through her body,
But there is also a portion
Steadfast in what she did,
Because something has taken her away
From me and the world,
Swept her off her feet
Leaving a fullness in
Those highs,
My lows could never fathom.
I stare at her once more
Seeing something different
In eyes I used to love
And still love.
There's a hunger for
That adventure
I can never compete with,
The addiction reliable
In the way it holds her close.
And I turn away,
Hoping she'll try
To stop me from leaving.
Hoping I still mean
Something to her
But other matters toy with her mind distractedly.
Her next fix
Suffocates the ounce of love
She has left
For me
And I'm gone.
