why are you waiting?...

Been taking swinging steps

Music moving bones to wave

Lighter eyes

Lifted cheeks

Close my eyes to rethink

I fall asleep

Deep

Don't have to call me

I turned my phone off

I'm alright.

So lay your cards out

You keep coming back

Maybe it doesn't have to become

better

I used to write letters

Untold shares

Box filled with daily confessions

The times had changed

Take my photo

Live in this ghost

We need someone to make the bread

Daily rituals that keep you alive

Beat and pulse

cool warmth...

You don't see me

I don't know you

But in passing moments your arms tell me stories

Soothing tense breathe

Stroked hair subtle peace

Don't speak to me

I will wonder instead

Why I chose a passing moment with you-

Desirous nature of cold nights

I am immune to the idea of care

I lost what is is to give-

In.

And yet something in you asks me to remember

It isn't for you

It may not be for me

But we fill each other

So aware of a past

Yours didn't last

Unknown family ties

The river runs until it dies

Jumping off sea cliffs
I am adrift

Swan dive into paradise

One day.

I think I might be ok.

I think I might want this.

I think I may try.

I think it's time to stop asking why.

Chasing ideas...

 Laying down

On repeat

Easy words of nice

Affirmations to believe

Training mind to think

Find something new to sink

In two--

Teeth been tasting bitter

Yellow stains rearrange

I'm wasting my young years

Gray hairs seen unstrange

Can't not

Can't not

Can't not

Finding home

Finding space

Finding ideas

To change this human race.

Maybe it's all gonna be a waste.

I. Can't. Not.

You never know what it's like to be fine

Maybe this is it

Water me...

 Letting the feeling of feeling show outside

Rushing into moments made over swings

Lean back, hold tight, closed eyes

Leg patterns ask air to lift me higher

Blood filled hands throb

I promise I can grow tall

Tinkering chain links

Twirling fading flowers

Street hand dancing to speckled street light

Cans and the forgotten

There to witness me

I like this lingering that slowly lets out

Only pieces of a full dance

I thought I was scared to be

But I think it's the tension that fuels me

I am falling into place

Water me

Joni Mitchell...

via enjoy the silence

Joni has stories of love

Sips their sweet taste

Soaks up moments into melody

But she has a destiny

Had to choose her own way

For her great grandmother

Her grandmother

And all the women in her family

Who never had the chance 

Generations past

Now she is the present cast

Duty to choose the restless

Desire to move toward the bitter edge

She sat in between

Only knowing the unseen

Take away the need for urgency

There is never certainty

Letting the timing find its path

No need to concern outside of this-

Everything is an offering not to miss

Magic asks for patience

It will find the perfect occasion

So let pain cry and smiles pray

Inspiration lives in everyday

Stood round the mandala made of chalk

Listened to all the souls that talk

A decade of poetry confession

Lifting myself out of every discretion

Eager to share my own self expression

Homeless, drunks, artists, old, and wise

Here there is no prize for disguise

Willing to wear my anger proud

Still need to remember to project sound loud

Fist pump and snap to somber melody

Medicine derived from brevity

Cab driver hearing my rhyme-

Would you like to go out sometime?

I'd like to hear you speak more poetry-

Perhaps over coffee or tea?

What else do you write?

Do you bring other subjects to light?

Unfortunately the men tend to inspire me
First fruit trees then faded debris

Romantic poems of despair

Whatever I decide feels unfair

I've got to get out and try something new

Life has got plenty color to chew

I see details where no one else looks

Time to take this vision to the books

Chalice cup...

The voice always stood silently beside

I liked to pretend it would hide

Letting fate twist against mind made matter

I kept looking outward toward all the clatter

Earring backs prick

Jealousy of vomit sick

Fuck it and quit

Remember to sit

Waver in the day as memories play

Wonder what I don't know

Have plenty I don't show

Reread old poetry

Found past stories within me

Feelings of walking stairs in moist tears

Now back and still filled with fears

Old habits begin to clear

Making the decision to steer

Can't give myself up

Stand and hold the chalice cup

Just choice...

1. Warm shadow knit in rainbow past

2. I float into the lightness of neon rays

3. Tangled toes pour water from the hose

3. Alerted to stop and try again

4. It's just choice

5. The balance of three

6. Different lives

7. Letting Earth sink soul sit to silently grow

8. The circles of force are harder to make high

9. Look at me looking away

10. Your amethyst hand shines inside
