insults are like rain
the day couldn’t get any worse
the sun will never rise again
but
it washes away the next day

starfish-
written and erased
hundreds of words forgotten
the oceans tide beats on my back
laid out on the sun the kids called me a starfish
i have written lines in the sand
so they exist for a moment
a poem or a song i carry with me
now surfing on the waves- free
i can see them smiling
i have kept them in cages with no windows for years
i needed to take them out for a walk
before work in the morning
stayed up all night;
spent two on a dime
not drugs not women
two dollars on a dime
it was lucky
linked with a chain and we share birthdays
and the other day
it went on an adventure
got some tacos
found love
wrote a poem
lost love
found love again
got more tacos
went bowling
tried the new italian place on creek because you heard it was the best spot in the city
saw a play
kiss goodnight
and came back to me
with a story
a story of effort when the jug was less than half full
more than half silenced by a laugh
i will be laughed at for losing a dollar eighty
but will tell our stories our way
composure case
falling is the only way
to know there is a bottom
the stairs up are narrow
slippery and cracked
and the fall down will hurt
to the point you will believe every bone is broken
but we will still climb
we can see the light
we can still climb tonight
we can see the light
trampoline;
you are a trampoline
for everyone you love in your life
bouncing high in the air
while you slowly sink in the ground
you are a relic of the home that once was
aged with time and vine while they sip wine as fine divine
but i will save you from the museum
not a treasure to worship
but a dancing queen to worship
a treasure on her own pirate ship
sailing and everything rounding her finger tips-
and will frame that trampoline
every great story has a beginning
ballad written on a jet
i wanted to thank you
for loving me
i never make it easy
i fight like my title is on the line
but here you are
my defenses are only blanks
make noises and threats
jumping up and down to try to signal this jet from crashing
but you never do-
and i will hold you close
for i never want you to go
midnight worries
you scare me
like a monster under the bed
i check before i go to bed
hide under the cover
toes tucked so deep it will take a shovel to save
just be brave
i have read it before
heard it before
just turn your brain off
left the key in the ignition
driving all night
Perfecto

Chasin’ perfect and on the surface
I look so fine but really I’m
been runnin’ round missin’ makin’ somethin’ out of nothin’
catch twenty one- first time
I caught time it was fine until the lines
broken the goldmine. Please- stay a minute
will leave these spacesuits and fall back down
before you give me the boot. Curing clocks
just a gearbox we made to give a day meaning
just the same repeating all on coarse-
crash landing right on schedule to wake me from this faithful dream-
perfect.
feint feelings
it is easier to say you are a ghost
then to say you touched me
Fight The Feeling
“They’re gonna try to tell you no, shatter all your dreams. But you gotta get up, and go and think of better things.” – M
Breathe- never fight it just let life in
an empty map not to mark it would be a mortal sin
meet your twin
out livin’ laughin’ makin’ love till the season changes
and it ranges but she is an angel
makin’ life worth lovin’ she told me
you can’t fight the feeling
never wasted moments been at my lowest
left with your condolence my own opponent
endless roaming and never frozen
but I was chosen through self demotion
can’t feel emotion just want to live on the ocean
through all the commotion I can hear her say-
you can’t fight the feeling.
you can’t fight the feeling.
