Ocean Side, Written 6/8/2011

Ocean Side

Oceans will turn again in my eyes
as they flit from the water back to star speckled skies
eagerly anticipating a long awaited sunrise
that I’ll soon see reflected through your eyes, so alive.
The most beautiful thing my mind can surmise,
the sun breaches the surface here on ocean side
and pushes towards us the oncoming tide
while all the stars have stashed away to hide.

Much later in the day
the sun will set on the bay,
but by the ocean I’ll stay
as long as our hands do not fray and fall away,
to my dismay.

Out Loud, Written 6/6/2011

Out Loud


Screaming malicious rantings worth wishing down a well.
Every enzyme come alive in every living cell.
Succulent shrieking steer me clear
cultivate my cravings, drop a bass worth busting an ear.
Create a rift worth the while of my rivalries,
crowd fighting feverish for the frequent casualties
all the while relinquishing the subtleties
to produce the shakes, later resulting in multiple earthquakes.
Quickly, accelerate the beat’s pace
and give me a name for this familiar face.

Rather Than, Written 6/3/2011

Rather Than

I would rather feel physical pain,
than what goes on within my brain.
I would rather the entire world collapse,
than to witness your heart again relapse.
I would rather have no ideas at all,
than these festering monsters that begin so small.
I would rather offer up my sight,
than see your wings refuse their flight.
I would rather send you on your way,
if it prolonged your happiness for one more day.

Permanently Absent, Written 6/3/2011

Permanently Absent



I’m stuck a million miles away inside my head
trying to create a world worth living in
with not even that audacity to desert my bed
and face disappointment once again
and even if life were hanging by a thread
sadly enough I’d reside within my head
creating romance from the novels I’ve read
swimming somewhere with water easier to tread
inside the ocean that is my head.

Come Back, Written 6/2/2011

Come Back

I encourage you to see,
open up your eyes, and look at me
escape your insecurity and fall free,
back to me.
I understand I’ve earned your silence
and well remember the past,
how I thew up impossible walls
and refused to let us last.
Tossed our love to the wind
and it blew painfully far away,
around the world and back again
maybe this time it could stay?

Solitary, Written 6/1/2011

Solitary

Content catastrophe
hoping for happiness as only me
not a part of two or three
cherish my singularity.
Seeking strength as only one
no matter how greatly I come undone,
when they come to chase
I’ll run..
and skip along the sidewalk
just for fun.
Bask in the me that is unique
leaving others free to critique,
think what you will
without conviction,
for just like mine,
your life is fiction.

Airport, Written 6/1/2011

Airport

People trying to get from here to there
so many people
I can’t help but stare,
people more concerned with air fare.
Some come alone
but mostly in pairs.
As I find my terminal
and a few empty chairs,
mentally now, I must prepare.
To take flight,
touch away from the ground
up into a world where clouds surround,
as the engine starts, my heart pounds
but up in the sky peace will be found
and miles away from here
I will again touch down.
