Sea Lover

Now the sea is calling me her lover

I knew it was true the moment I met her

She grabbed my hand and smiled

In the waves, we moved and danced

It was all at once a true romance

I knew her embrace and full expanse

We played through night and day

As she called me singing "sail my way"

His Love

His love was real and true.

His love was more than he knew.

More than he could love the sea.

More than he loved the sunset.

More than all the colors he could paint.

More than all of time could ever wait.

His love was without a measure.

His love was unconditional.

More than anything,

His love still remains.

Change #757

My back hurt

My feet worse

I was exhausted

I felt defeated

The restless days

The sleepless nights

This playful heart

This hungry brain

A weight shouldered

A stress contained

No time remaining

No patience same

Dropped my guard

Dropped the pain

Took deep breaths

Took in everything

Chose timely change

Chose without notice

Set new direction

Set plan forward

Picked favorite trinkets

Picked necessary things

Let burdens lay

Let junk remain

Shouldered loaded pack

Shouldered listing pride

Turned priorities focus

Turned avoiding collision

Boarding flight #757

Boarding this morning

Never say never

Never ran faster

Changing my life

Changing in time

Saving this adventure

Saving from disaster

Smiles are showing

Smiles stalk sunrise

Chasing this heart

Chasing dreams surprise

Writing chapter’s end

Writing books again

Painting foreign colors

Painting brighter pictures

Learned Tree’s promise

Learned flight’s secret

Neverland’s exploration ending

Neverland’s departure operation

With loaded baggage

With affairs attended

One way ticket

One half missing

Soul looking upwards

Soul speaking whispers

Hope praying sounds

Hope you’re proud

Yah excited, love?

Yah watching today?

Come and play

Come say hey

‘Hey’

Two years ago today

We were doing okay

Laughs back in May

Now I only pray

Dreams of lost play

Old texts whisper, ‘Hey’

Shield

I will put down my sword only when you put down that shield.

That thing you call a shield, that thing you are hidden beneath; it has for too long obstructed the world’s view of your beautiful.

My sword and I only wish to set you free.

Truth

With this sword

at my fingertips,

every fantastical lie

I write bleeds

the ink of

truth.

Wild Woman

She ran with the wolves,

rode upon the backs of grizzlies,

and laid with the lions.

She had no fear

and I found that more dangerous

than the company she kept.

Change Starts Changing Middles Changes Ends

Start in the middle. It’s where we all begin - end.

Where there once was no you to ask the old - new.

The beginning of the end; it’s a place to mend - rend.

To attempt an answer in words; blank - drawn.

Who ever you are again; you aren’t now - then.

Doesn’t matter honestly; yesterdays - tomorrows.

Both are steady sources of time; both lost - borrowed.

The middle again is only where to begin - end.

Right now, this moment, is the middle; beginning’s - end.

Focus on the present its the starting place; end - began.

Cheap Box Wine

Pink teal thong

Cheap box wine

Tiny rent room

Phone plays jams

Lost in song

Cheap box wine

Take out Thai

Sex on mind

Just met ‘hi’

Cheap box wine

It’s a crime

Bad choice kind

What’s her name

Cheap box wine

Starch sheets dive

Sex drive climb

Wow we suck

Cheap box wine

Way too drunk

Wild girl funk

Heat in sheets

Cheap box wine

Tug of war

Hair not mine

She was bald

Cheap box wine

The whole time

I think back

Blond hair wig

Cheap box wine

Pink teal thong

Time to time

Shine

All colors can shine

To decide just one

Is hardly-fair

A shiney gold sure

Oh maybe crowns gems

Or simple-glare

Pretty sunshine on hair

My moon-lit night bum

No under-ware
