Caution: Soul Crossing
30 May 2014
it’s okay,
no need to explain,
nothing’s changed.
It’s just me,
back to where I’ve always been:
alone with my words.
familiar,
a window, a wall,
quiet, safe …
revealing
degrees of separation,
I try to deny.
this abyss,
which lies in between,
still exists.
I must learn
to accept the view, my place,
on the other side.
Aloneness,
some try to tell me,
is a choice.
I wonder,
if they’ll ever understand
just how wrong they are.

it’s fragile,
a small distinction,
between want
and intent.
Precariously balanced,
I wait for the fall.
let’s improvise
23 March 2014
soft chords, waiting for
improvised conversation;
one speaks, one listens.
Harmonize,
in rhythms, with melodies,
hearts understand jazz.
we change
23 March 2014
in essence,
love never changes,
but we do.
That’s the part
we may never understand.
And so, we blame love,
and others,
or even ourselves.
But, we change,
love doesn’t,
and I never learned that truth
‘til it was too late.
melt

“I’ll stop the world and melt with you”
shoveling
snow-covered sidewalks
late at night
makes no sense.
Tomorrow’s high, fifty-four
should melt it away.
City plows
clearing streets of snow,
all night long.
seems pointless,
like trying to stop the world,
or melting with you.
midnight walk
10 March 2014
midnight walk,
indescribable
existence …
outside of,
yet inseparable from,
all that’s ever been.
returning,
as important as
one’s journeys.
I wonder
if what I bring back with me
is more than I left.
It is solved
by walking, it’s said;
I believe.
By faith, I
seek not the destination.
It’s enough to walk.

used to be
a once-a-month beast,
until she
finally
cured me of that hungry need
I no longer feed.
she waits, obviously
09 March 2014
just because
I do not look for,
or choose to
see beauty,
it’s always been waiting there
to be discovered.
telepathic
04 March 2014
Read my mind
if you really dare.
It’s scary,
but honest.
My mind to yours, soul to soul,
intimate oneness.
