Mind chatter

keep going
momentum
moves you

stop...

too much
movement

go >>>
you've taken
too long

listen
your mind
knows
all
if
you
can
hear

Me

if you undo your mind
fall into a haze
let the thoughts out
it may amaze

unlock the stress
put your feet up
undress

stop your hurries
and your worries

let the past be
be free

be kind
to the person
you call me

Drifting moments

growing wide 

like smiles

on a summer

day - next to dripping

cones of ice-cream-

vanilla and jimmies

lick them off

crunch the candy

coating into bits

of dreams,

digested like

a book, in small

fragments,

the moments 

drifting away

as quickly as the sunset

fades and the summer

becomes the past

diamonds are not love

a

l'il

sparkle 

and shine

tell the time

has drawn near

you're wating to hear

the words will you

marry me

be my

wife

ok

I

don't 

want to

wear your 

big diamond ring

just want your heart, that's

everything - to me, those rocks

cause strife and war - horrors

so gigantic, unromantic, 

makes me frantic

want to save

a small

part 

of

it

pick up dad

little angel
fast asleep
dreaming of stories
to tell and keep

tired from teeth
that won't tear through
hurting but happy
all the same

my sweet, sweet
boy of only 2
there's nothing in the world
i wouldn't do
to block the pain
to keep you happy
to make you smile
to hold you close
for a while

the peace of your breath
helps me live

your small hands
turning books
your funny looks

soon, you'll startle
shocked and mad

yelling "pick up dad"

when you get here

when you get here
look for me

i'll be the one
with the sign
smiling loud
proud to call you

mine

i'll be the one
without
a frown
drowning in
the sea

when you get here
save me

i'll be the one
gasping for air
waiting for
your breath
to share

i am the one
who'll always care
you'll see my hands
beside you heart
soft and hoping
we'll never part

you'll see my mind
in your desires
will put out the town
with our fires

when you get here
wait for me
i'll be the only
one you'll see

Finding home

i'm looking for
a place called me
a place that's built
for all to see
it's got tall mountains,
a deep blue sea

it's got the dreams
and eyes to see
the gods bring
light for all that be

i'm seeking out
a place for me
with sun and wind
and earth and fire
and all the love
that
we desire

i've found here
my family
my favorite ones
to have near me

they laugh,
they're silly
with  so much glee
so glad
that they

found me
