Another day I did not use algebra

….because,

some words, are harmful.
some words, are peaceful
some words, are unheard

these word must be read.

somedays are longer that others. the length of time is relative only to the minds in ability the release the unattainable love we seek.

we are awashed in stories,

tell us words that seek

….approval, not by a long shot.

somewhere in our human existence we equate approval with love.

the very definition of the word only leaves a yes or no outcome. no algebra needed.

just a clear bright sky to be there when the soul decides to offer up the ever elusive reasons for why it held out so long.

the x equals A. the y equals B and the total sums equals u

Nothing for granted

We
Always
Assume

We’re
Going
To
Wake
Up

….

Cover all unknown facts
Only one actually
Too much love for you, to not say it !

Souls defined

I do not think of where or when
I do know the whys and how’s

Undercurrent
Undertow
Anything
Unknown
Is more than I want to know

I can shake
The wherefore
The whatnots

It’s the belief
A time
An space
Is truly spent
In-line with
What we both have in mind

I will not place boundaries
I will not build fences
I will not ask
I will not judge
I will not fore-go
The realty of what I do know

the value of the time I’m in
Indicates whether I should actually care

After much thought
I find
I do care

……..

Weir•do

when you find people
who not only tolerate
your quirks but celebrate
them with glad cries
of “me, too” be sure
to cherish them. because
those weirdos are your
tribe

Calm Waters Run Deep

I could find a song
That offer most of the words
To describe
The mellow flavor
The easy mood
The intense fear
And most of all
The reality I awake too

I couldn’t find a that song
The words
Taste the flavor
The feel of the fear
Or the reality I awake too

It’s a spark
A word
A glance
A time
A place
Shared
That reveals
The reality
The here and now

I listen
I see
I embrace
And I for the most part
Know
I that’s it’s
You
clearly as sunrise
As definite as sunset
That
I will make
time for
Make space for
Make myself
Avail too

I could find a song
That offer most of the words
To describe
The mellow flavor
The easy mood
The intense fear
And most of all
The reality I awake too

I couldn’t find a song
The words
Taste the flavor
The feel of the fear
Or the reality I awake too

It’s a spark
A word
A glacé
A time
A place
Shared
That reveals
The reality
The here and now

I listen
I see
I embrace
And I for the most part
Know
I that’s it’s
You
clearly as sunrise
As definite as sunset

Calm as waters run deep

Keeping time

Somedays I think I can fly forever
No consequence
No reason to not

Somedays I see the very reason
I enjoy standing grounded
In the company of you

Many years
Of observation
Lead me to you
Lead me to me

From now
This point in time
I know
It’s as real as I want it to be

Somedays I think I can fly forever
No consequence
No reason to not

Somedays I see the very reason
I enjoy standing grounded
In the company of you

Collard greens and turkey wings ….

I see you
Even
When the miles
Defy
Such a notion

I know you less than your best friend,
Yet I hurt equally

Years of distance from our first meeting to our most recent interaction, which in it’s self
Stands as recent as today

20 plus zip codes between your
Address and mine, will not, can not
Reduce how many times
You cross my mind , stay on my mind.

Charismatic, Witt and happy hour charm,

is just surface …

I met you when I needed too.
Collard greens and turkey wings ….

Under the same sky

Friday was just a Friday
Then along came you
Then Friday became my everyday

Everyday was Friday
When you were in my realm
Everything was possible
Then along came the real you
Then everyday became my Monday

One Sunday
One day
You will slow down
And realize
How much
Your everyday
Is as empty as my
Monday

Movement leaves you in silence

I see you
Like no other
Gave you my heart
Before I met you
Because I knew you
In a time before you saw me

Words have hurt you
As if a knife
Cut through your life
From a day in a year
So muddled by
Indecision

The sounds of
Your cries kept me awake
So many nights

And I see you
Like no other
Gave you my heart
Before I met you
I knew you
In a time before you saw me

Exposed by mortal flaws
Inclined to settle
removed from the site of the wounds
Dual betrayal
Stillness leaves you looking for sound
Movement leaves you in silence

All of which led you to
This side of that midnight

When
it was too late to leave
And too early to stay

Yes, I do see you
Like no other
Gave you my heart
Before I met you
Because I knew you
In a time before you saw me
