#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!

The ode to coffee
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?

Can Change?
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.

You are reliable

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.

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!

For my Friends Part One
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.

This is why you wake up to one-a.m. texts from me
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.
