Our weakness is the same...

Take a drink and release blame

Tip your glass to the stars and glimmer

Blame no one

You were the first star I saw

And yet you were not a star

But just sat a little far

Until you waited for one more shooting

Star

Clumsy time

Has evaborated

Decided it's time to climb

Out and down from the tree house

Where will the vine direct my blood?

Which way will the wind tell my direction?

 Every time I think the city awaits me

I find mindless comfort in the pool of diving unknown

Let your self be happy now.

If not now, when?

Because time keeps running

Round

I will remember those days

The ones you long to forget

When the right was wrong

When you pulled me into a strange

A gift swinging from above and breaking my soles

Wore me down.

And then made it so easy.

Soothing me. 

Release...

Blood flow streaming down my sides

Screaming from the inside

Thunder roaring in sounds of electric outlines

Shaking you to rise

Setting up butterfly skies

Picking up bottle caps and shells to wear as masks

No one asking what comes next

Leaning left and falling right

Packing up trash cans of life

Curb side free for all

twenty six years tipped to the other side

Always hoping for a ride

But learning to stand in pride

 

Bare me naked

And see the difference

 I believe you helped to heal this

You are me

There was one, two, and three.

Just let it all be.

Summer Solstice Day...

 The longest day of the year

When daylight swallows night

Full life and celebration

I began with a full moon foundation

Tipped to the other side

Ready to move in stride

Choosing the flow

Controlling where to let go

Thankful for being here

And for all that is dear

Happy birthday to me

Cheers to life and feeling free!

How fast is slow?...

 Raise your voice

In repeating patterns

Of plans, life plans

Of to do's and news

How fast is slow?

Is this is the right time to go?

How will I know-

That I can

Until I do

And then you will look at me

Thinking you were right

But I refuse to let that fight ignite

It's been a long time

You don't know me at all

Yes, that was nice.

Great letter.

Good pictures.

All is well.

You just have to let go. 

If I accept the way that it be

Does that mean you have lost knowing me?

You don't listen to my running complaints

Remember when that was romantic?

To know what lurked within me

All the days that you cannot bare

It's when I begin to stare

I have to go.

Today is too much

Monotony on repeat

I move too slow

I am tired

For awhile

But it will get done

I can do it.

I always pretend for you.

I feel the need to.

But I don't have to be happy. 

My stomach shakes

Making plans

Of attack

Remember when you can just be you?

I only want to listen to me

And pursue what learning I have to do

Someday smile

We walked for awhile

I think of you, but I can't call

And it's not who you think you are

Stop this guessing game

I'm sorry for the story

It's been awhile

Since I've seen you smile

I gamble my way

And it works

Up to this day

Gamble away my time

In a year or two

Things have taken me back

Nothing wasted all together planned

Reaching to old times

It's been a long time

Life will listen

It does even when I cover my ears

How fast is slow?

We will never know.

Talk in talk...

 I don't talk in talk

I like to watch the way I move

Whispers jump from inside

In a language of misunderstanding

In a tone of growls and tears

I cannot talk in talk

Watch the way I walk

Silent voices in my head

Telling me the time to say

But words fail from making beats

Choked and swallowed into the hallow

I prefer to let sound move me

You? You hear music and it pours out of you.

Me? I take it in. Keep it there.

There is plenty held within me

Though when I move my body it feels free

But it's just a little trick you see
