You

the water stood still
the sand and shore waited
the sun watched
couldn’t comprehend
how in an instant
nothing mattered
gravity, air
not even a solar eclipse
the earth slowed
rotated slightly in reverse
I tried to move, speak
couldn’t shake this want
I need you
nothing mattered
not even breathing
if eyes were windows
my body would be
a glass house
pupils failed to focus
on anything but you
my teeth glistened loudly
I feared you broken my smile
lips parted wide in anticipation
wishing for a silent hello
hoping to borrow a kiss
nothing mattered
not dreams, daffodils 
or prayers
I prayed for wisdom
didn’t want you to see me
covered in need
necessity conquered
my ability to hide
the tide, the waves of want
filling these outstretched arms
it was impossible to comprehend
why nothing mattered
why the sand and shore waited
why the oceans stood still
how could the sun just watch
me lose myself in you
I prayed for knowledge
to overcome
searched for perseverance
craved inner determination
have never seen myself this way
hummingbird jitters
wayward walk of the butterfly
your hearts frequency
shook lose my senses
shredded my thoughts in two
sent shock waves
through core of me
unfastened the deadbolt
on a soul buried in sorrow
nothing mattered
not words or sound
or gravity's effect on rain
you were everything
I wanted to say

We Are Here It is possible to get comfortable in your writing and forget why you write or maybe find solace in your words and forget how to feel. There will be days we are unable to determine which is better or if both instances make us worse. Chaos reveals our vulnerability, can make us human even when we think this arting has made us immortal. Our mortality exposes its hands every day clawing at our emotions, leaking out of the pores of our skin. We are mere mortals but we are still here. I think I was eight years old, when my mother asked me the question all parents or parent ask each of us once in our lives. I can’t recall if my answer was my truth or what I thought she wanted to hear. Her question was “if all your friends ran and jumped off the cliff would you jump too? I replied no. My question to you is: do you remember your answer? It would seem we’ve arrived at the edge of the cliff. No matter how imaginary or proverbial the ledge is, we are standing inches from fallin...

Testing An Age Old Proverb

I t is thought somewhere between darkness and light an agreement was reached before time began. The agreement was Good Guys are never to win or be triumphant; their glory lies only in Stage Plays, Movies, Television Shows and Old Westerns. I think they are supposed to always wear white hats, in order to identify the good from the not so good. So far it seems to still stand true. Good Guys loose everyday. I am not sure if the view is different when seen by eyes besides mine but would like to know your opinion. Historically, beginning with the University in Ancient Kemit when books were stolen and the noses of statues were chopped off to emphasize the Good Guys lost.. To times of Knights and Kings when the beautiful Maiden was lost to Knights in not so shining armor. In modern day America I hear too many stories of guys distraught because they were unaware being the good guy was a true test in humility. Fighting diligently but always in a losing effort. Building Cathedrals and Monuments...

Always keep your guard where it is easily retrievable There are few things worse than being caught dancing or dining While leaving your guard at home And no one will ever tell you what they are Innocence i...
