I wanted
everything.
Mostly,
I wanted to know
what was dancing
on your mind.
Seems like
a life time ago,
I don’t know
if I remember the steps.
Was it right before
or right now?
It doesn’t matter.
I just want
too see you
close
that is everything.

I wanted
everything.
Mostly,
I wanted to know
what was dancing
on your mind.
Seems like
a life time ago,
I don’t know
if I remember the steps.
Was it right before
or right now?
It doesn’t matter.
I just want
too see you
close
that is everything.
Follow me,
will jump off the edge,
hand in hand,
greeting the Earth below.
This reality won’t catch us
won’t support us,
won’t pass the Mic for us
too sing our sorrows.
Maybe I’m just venting,
maybe we should go to a new bar
maybe we should sing karaoke
until the sun comes up.
I wish, I wish
you would carry the courage
too see your worth
know your exact change
it’s a subtle tip
that
I’d catch you.
You shouldn’t
but
you can’t help it.
What if you called
what if you came over for dinner
what if you weren’t so scared.
What would tomorrow have been?
Would you have stayed the night
would have made breakfast
would you have called tomorrow?
What if you gave it chance.
It’s not healthy, I know,
I just can’t help give it a second thought
or maybe three.
Looking at your number in my phone
wondering if you were doing the same.
It’s not healthy, I know,
prone to question
what would have been.
Marill strutted in front of Franklin, tail raised high into the air.
“This is weird, Franklin. Marill is really calm. Even after being caught. It’s like she doesn’t know or just doesn’t care.” Franklin heard everything Tyler was saying, yet, he couldn’t take his eyes off his new friend.
Vanessa sat outside with Raichu, watching the sun rise. Raichu locked eyes with Marill and sparked her cheeks and clutched her fist. The electric surge crawled up and around the cabin, rising Franklin’s hair on his arm. Marill cowered and curled her body into a ball before the frightening Raichu.
Franklin ran in front of the ready electric mouse, “Stop, Raichu! Marill is with me!” Vanessa rested her hand on her sparking companion’s shoulder and she halted her electric stream.
Franklin watched Vanessa’s palm lift from Raichu, clean and unchanged. Vanessa walked over to the turtle Marill and brushed her fur. Marill jumped from her cocoon and brushed against her hand.
Slowly down the steps,
I saw her.
Each step,
a wonder. The red dress
covered her long legs,
shinning from the moon light
drawn to her. Long hair
waving along her side,
envying the intimacy.
I couldn’t move.
The shine from the blue
sparkled, but the green,
the green
reached for my heart,
and sang.
In false command,
praying for pause
anything but ephemeral
reaching for words,
stumbling for syllables.
You are beautiful.
Whispering to me,
you are the first.
For some
it doesn’t come
in an envelope through
a mail slot.
Didn’t show up
on our doorstep
engraved in evlen
and a large white hat.
Someone didn’t save
you from sand people
in the dune with tales
of your father.
The beginning moment
is shrouded in history,
unavailable until the peek.
Till the curtains are drawn.
A moment all reach and pass
without a second glance,
shadowed beauty
with a yellow umbrella.
Will scour the books,
together.
You talked to me in
a dream.
I could tell,
you said you loved me.
“Franklin!”
“Franklin, wake up!”
Franklin rose slowly, the window was edged open, “Common, Franklin, lets do some early hunting,” Tyler said with eager in his eyes.
The sun followed Tyler as he walked into the forest, far ahead of Franklin. Bushes and trees rustled along the walking path.
“Tyler, where are we going?”
“Going to catch a Pokemon today, today feels good!”
Tyler stepped lightly through bushes and around trees. He held a Greg in his hand, awaiting a feral Pokemon.
Franklin watched Tyler, emulating his movements, trying not to scare away anything.
The bush, it rustled adjacent to Franklin. His head bolted, waiting for another sign of life. It shook again. Blue highlighted ears flung above the bush and a round tail emerged around the other side.
Tyler turned and made eye contact with Franklin, and saw the bush move a third time. Tyler nodded at Franklin vigorously and pointed at the bush. Franklin reached for a Pokeball and dropped it on the Pokemon’s head. Large red light took Franklin’s eyes for a shock and swallowed the mysterious one.
Tyler rushed over and peered into the bush, watching the Pokeball shake until the middle ring halted and turned white. Tyler picked it up,
“You caught it, Franklin, must have taken it by surprise. Lets see what it is!”
Franklin picked up the ball, and released it.
“Franklin, that’s a Marill!” Marill had round blue ears, and a round blue body with a white belly and a jagged tail with a sphere blue ball at the end. Marill looked around confused and tired.
Stacked to the nine
brave being climbing the
scales, passed the fine line.
Passed expectations and morale
precense, he there to be the best.
Two strides high, the edge is here,
succeed where you have failed they
told him and he climbed to the highest.
Falling was faster than climbing.
Air speed through the ear,
shattered the drums
solo.
Shadow emits from the lower limbs.
Light can’t reach, festering
breathing.
It roars during slumber
and still as a mountain.
Run.
Flee through the night,
it follows, pinned down
the shadow, the only one
who never left the side.
Expanding across the fields,
never out of sight
never for a night.
