Looking up through the trees
I am reminded
Heaven
Never leaves.

Had Not
It pains me to know
That most mornings,
When you wake up,
You wish you
Had not.

Claustrophobic
We watched the meteor shower
While laying on the hood of your car
Then went
Skinny dipping in the
Old gravel
Pit.
Bacardi
On my lips.
Stars reflecting
On the cool water.
A chill in the air
But we didn’t feel it.
We howled at life and raced each other
With every breath we took.
Jumping fences, we ran with no particular
Destination in mind.
Adrenaline laughter.
Nothing else mattered.
Crescendo.
Young and alive
We didn’t think to spend our nights confined by
Four walls
In a soft bed.
Our hearts claustrophobic.
Our spirits satiated.

Lemon Tree
Come now,
Take my hand.
Let us sit under the lemon trees
In my uncles backyard.
Under the branches which bare fruit with
A bright yellow rind,
Those that beckon us to partake of
Bitterness.
Instead we will delight in the color.
Instead we will take comfort in the silence
Between us and observe fruit and
Life
For a while.

Have It All
And you
Can have it all.
From the ceilings
To the floor,
From the moon to
The sun,
From The Heavens
Above
To Hell down
Below.
Everything you
Want
And more.
I’m not in it
To win,
I’m in it
To
Live and love.

Flying Away
Waiting for a connection.
Watching people go by,
A few looking quite frantic.
Ready to board their plane
And fly away.
Most staring straight ahead
One destination on their mind.
Always flying away.
They are all so distracted,
Staring at their phones
And tripping
Over nothing.
Dreaming of flying away.
And I wonder what
Tales the
Luggage carousel
Might tell.

Giving Words Away
People take your words
And mix them with their own
Experiences,
Their delight or anger
And change them how they see fit.
Once you speak,
That is a chance you take
In giving your words away.
Dec8
Weep
If I begin to weep
Be most certain
It is only because
I am overwhelmed by the
Beauty
Of
Your love,
The truth in your touch.

At The Station
I thought I saw you
At the station.
I turned around without thinking
With a panic in my heart
And
An ache in my throat,
Imagining I might catch you.
I almost tripped and fell in my haste.
Then my mind caught my heart
Before it leapt to far ahead
And reminded me I had done this before.
I had begged and chased
Shamelessly.
I was lost in the moment no more.
Just like that.
