Catastrophic Calm

Last night I dreamt that burning planes were falling from the sky Twisters were tearing through the fields You just stood and stared in a pair of heelsSomething was awryThere was a glint in your eye You were biting into an apple with a thick red peel When I snapped awake, you were fast asleepContinue reading “Catastrophic Calm”

Corner of Your Mind

There’s a dark corner of your mind That every now and then you visit Sometimes it’s a comfortSometimes it’s a curseBut it’s not going anywhere is it? There’s a light winking by the bayA carousel spinning in the night A fortunate teller’s booth, Incense and a golden toothShe don’t read palms but she’s got theContinue reading “Corner of Your Mind”

The Heart is a Muscle (A Response)

I know you think that you’re a bad betBut there’s so much we haven’t tried yet Remember mornings sipping coffee?Hushed confessions that you love me? The first time I know you think we’ve tried it allI know you think you’re my downfall Remember when we were kids with cooties?Remember Sundays at the movies?The popcorn lineContinue reading “The Heart is a Muscle (A Response)”

Done for Good

I’m not a bet you should’ve ever placedNo, I’m a truth you should’ve never faced If I were you I’d stay the hell away from me from now for good But for some reason you keep coming backShining eyes, a new plan of attackAs if you know me like nobody else ever really could RememberContinue reading “Done for Good”

The Music is Always There

When you wake up and feel deflatedAnxieties, insecurities exaggeratedWhen all is backwards and wrongI hope you will listen to this song When the emptiness expands And the colors collapse When the days bleed together Into one formless massWhen the tunnel is showing no light I hope this song can make it alright I’d like toContinue reading “The Music is Always There”

What I Want You to Know

I want you to know what you do to meBut I don’t know how to say it Some otherworldly alchemyCan’t measure, map, or weigh it I want you to know my valleysThe jagged stones and streams withinWhere do I begin? I want you to know how I think of you But I don’t want toContinue reading “What I Want You to Know”

Linger

I’m wading in the memory of the magic of last night When our bodies, slow and tender, came together and took flight It’s not a flashback, it’s time becoming space The path along your back that my fingers softly trace You say you hear the ocean when you rest against my chest You’re the moonContinue reading “Linger”

Just One Thing

I’ll take the trash out I’ll work the math outI’ll pay the bills You’ll take the scenic routePick up some fresh farm fruitLife’s little thrills I’ll take you in my arms Change the batteries in the smoke alarmWhen it starts to beep You’ll take the temperatureOf how things are and how things wereAnd how thingsContinue reading “Just One Thing”

Here Comes the Sun

An overflowing cupAn ever-blooming roseA love that never wilts That only grows and grows and grows A gravity that liftsTime that blinks and yawnsNo end, no beginningSimply spinning dawn to dawn A beauty that doesn’t boast But knocks you off your feet Can’t stem the flow, in it’s glow Hypnotized in its heat A prettyContinue reading “Here Comes the Sun”

A Painting on our Wall

You say I’m biasedBut that’s not trueI’m just blessed with The very best view Yes I can see you as you truly areWhen you’re in my arms When I’m in your arms When I tell youWhat it is I seeYou sometimes tell meThat you disagree Well you really should believe me Cause I’m in communionContinue reading “A Painting on our Wall”
