Affinity

Smiles
and the sunshine
These moments
pass the time

Grass between toes
Feet in soft sand
Letting go of woes
With the offer of a hand

Words
of grand delight
The world
turns to right

Conversations
Into the night
Laughter rings
Warm and bright

Shades
of a soft sunset
spread across cheeks
Blushing in
all varieties
of peaches and pinks

Voices low
Then voices high
To an unstopping
crescendo they will fly

Enjoyment
Comes as we share
The way we learned
to show we care

Dancing
to the beat of rain
The earth will swallow
all our pain

So hug me tight
And hug me again
For we celebrate
Us, dear friend.

Moving On

May you leave
Just as lovely
As the way you came,
In the warmth of sun
As deep as the sea
And laughing the same.

Cry Baby

cry baby cry

baby it’s okay to cry 

sometimes life can be so sad

you just want to die 

but love is greater 

miracles exist 

and sunshine pours through rain

so cry baby cry for now 

because soon 

you won’t remember the pain

Capsized

listen listen, it’s my heart

crying like riddles breaking free. 

metaphors that carry me away 

like a boat floating out to sea. 

unreachable 

you can’t come close 

your touch too searing hot to my skin. 

don’t hurt me 

get away

no one, nothing, nobody is allowed in. 

Cheerios

I eat words like cheerios
pop one in then another, chew the letters then swallow

d
o
w
n

and feel.

If they are sad they sink into my stomach and create a hurricane there
I am ##sick## and ache awhile

If they are love they climb into my heart
and make a home there

I am full of ^^warmth^^ and smile

And yet sleep comes and they are absorbed into my blood s—-t—-r—-e—-a—-m,
traveling through my veins @ night.

so that when I WAKE UP, I wonder, how did they escape?

Will they be gone long?
Will they come back?
Will they never stay?

Why did they run     A      w       a      Y ?

Love Is

I Need...

I Miss You

You Remind Me

Let me go

You tell me let you go
As if that were an option,
I'd let you go so fast
You'd wonder if we ever met.

I'd take us back so far
To the day you seeked me out
To the day you made me choose
And I would say "not yet"

I'd take us further still
To the moment that marked our start
In the darkness of bathroom stalls
And I'd walk out before I let

let you suck me in
whole heart and soul
let you intertwine my existence
and then say to me "let me go"

As if, As if
it could even be possible
And if it is so easy for you,
Tell me how you do so.

Has no one never told you
Or do you just pretend not to know?
Loving you is attached to every fiber of every nerve of every breath until
You are me and I am you until I exist if you do, and I do not if you don’t.

Tell me do you just not know?
There IS NO letting you go.

Thank You

Jehovah, you are truly kind!

You are so very GOOD.

You come to me with open arms

As a loving father would.

The expansion of the heavens

The expansion of LOVE

leads to the expansion of my heart

towards you, My God above.

Cruel

I have never loved a cruel person.
Until I loved
you.

You remind me

 

 

Words In The Wind

she climbed up and up

into the beautiful darkness 

letting it swallow her whole,

to the edge of someplace 

that her soul would not rest

until she relented to go. 

Friendship

I have confidence

That you mean to keep 

each promise you have made;

That you will walk through this life

With happy thoughts

Of the foundation we have laid 

My love is High Tide

Who am I?

What am I worth? 

Anything at all?

Because what I see

and what I hear

in the silence 

is this...

Ahogandome

hay tantas palabras, 
sentimientos, momentos 

que quiero recordar, 

decir, 

gritar al universo 

que me ayude por favor 

suplicar 

no, mejor que me ayude 

respirar, 

para poder explicar, 

intentar explicar 

todo lo que siento 

y que tanto siento muy adentro de mi. 

tan profundo que se esconde 

pero no tan escondido 

porque aqui está en plena vista 

para todo el mundo... 

y lo que sale de mi boca 

son cosas que tienen muy poco que ver 

con la certeza 

de algo 

que nunca nunca, 

ay mi Dios, 

tengo miedo 

que nunca, 

se me va a ir.

Collecting

excuse me as I come on through with a drawstring bag 

I have started a special collection, see, of important things I have 

one day I may not have them, see, for life is so changing

and the way things flip and flop and are always rearranging 

so I walk around and people speak and tell me where they've been 

and I grab for feelings and memories too and place them all in
