I Think Too Much

Oh God, how sick I am

I mourn the fact 

My heart doesn't ache

With inner angst

There is no extreme pain

To complain about

In this moment

Where does that leave me?

Such complacency isn't so becoming 

So what will I create 

To ensure that things

Are kept interesting? 

I ponder about 

Giving things a rest

What would it look like

If I gently tucked myself into the comfortable fold that has been offered to me so graciously 

If I let things lie

Would that be something different

Is that the new real

Or same thing all over again?

Love Affair

It's been so long since I've spent

The time alone with you that you deserve

I was out on a drive
Under a blanket of thin clouds, with gentle beams shining through
Pondering how much I expect
You to read between my lines

Enclosed by grassy hills,
Only the horizon ahead
The road converging right before me
I missed you

In my words, there I left
Something out
With them being so few
I'm elusive

I forget how important they are
Like tiny droplets
Before a turbulent storm
Meaningful signs of bittersweet magic

I labor
So you may know the pleasure of being born

Falling

I'm falling 

Hard 

For you 

This time

You are mine

All mine

Not like Before

More

It's now more 

Of me

More of you

And me 

Our kiss, new

Like two

Eager discover

The other 

No longer polite

We take

Everything free

And safe

I don't dread old age

With your hand

I hold 

Your place

Untitled

You would think
There would be
So much Hope
On my Horizon

In my Awareness
I uncover new levels
Of cynicism and isolation
I've seen more
than most are willing

In all honesty
I'm grateful
I can say
In all honesty

That is something.

I appreciate
The knowing
The seeing
The feeling

I  will keep on
going
and going
and going

If there is just One
who chooses to come
along with me
I will keep counting days
