War Payment

Laid the flowers down on the earth

Daisy after daisy

Made a chain of love

 

How do I submit payment for the War?

Who I Am

Once

I was the man

Women dropped to their knees

They banged on my door

Asked for midnight pleasure

I was servicing dozens of women annually

 

Just once

Is all it took

A trace of hair

The scent of another

And the wind carried me

To the bottom of the ocean, I sank

I wait no more

For you, you know who I am.

Waiting (Version #2)

I’m waiting,

waiting for you.

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

I’ll wait another decade, even two, even three.

 

I’ll wait

to dance with you

to kiss you

to hold you

to walk down the street while holding your hand.

 

I’ll wait

even more

I’ll wait for pigs to fly

I’ll wait for frogs to rain from the sky

 

I’ll wait forever

For I have waited so long

And a person like you

Only once comes along

 

I’ll burn the time zones

And I’ll bury the clocks.

I’ll put the sun dials in shade

And the moon on hold.

 

I’ll unplug the electricity

And crack the bell.

I’ll erase the digits

And destroy the tick tock.

 

Forever I have waited

Forever I will wait

Wait for you

The World Knows

I lowered the light.

I turned down the covers.

I wish you good night.

 

I stepped back from the situation.

I returned to my home.

I don’t want any more complication.

 

I have a few more fights up my sleeve.

I know that we’ll be one.

I am confident that we both believe.

 

I am the author of your dream.

I encompass your heart.

I flow like a conscious stream.

 

I traveled far from above.

I was brought down from heaven.

I am your love.

 

I blossom like a flower.

I am the knight on your horse.

I bestow my status as bachelor.

 

I sailed the high sea.

I looked no further than your blue eyes.

I opened myself free.

 

I drift in harmony.

I cherish my moments with you.

I hold them closely.

 

I catapult to the stars when in your embrace.

I kiss you forever past midnight’s clock.

I float above earth without a trace.

 

I do not hide.

I have deep feelings for you.

I will not subside.

 

I complete your heart.

I encountered your soul.

I think it’s time to start.

 

I rescue you of your ache.

I claim my heart belongs to you.

I ask you to awake.

 

I rise to the morning dew.

I wish so much that you were at my side.

I declare the world knows, that I love you.

Whisper

Without a whisper,

or a moment’s notice;

she left my heart.

 

Now this Wednesday,

midweek I am left with nothing;

I stand in the pool of rain.

Who

i’m interested in exploring who you are

what you are made of

what inspires you

your ideas and thoughts

poetry and hymns

words and talents

tongue and tails

your catalog of life

your bakers dozen

your envelope of dreams

the entity that makes you

Without Warning

Exquisite and intricate,

like an angel she fell from the sky;

She encompassed me with her loyal affection until I die.

 

Divine and graceful,

like Venus wading inward from the sea;

She swallowed my heart entirely.

 

Seductive and brilliant,

like a Siren with admirable intention;

She lured me deep into the flames of an untimely passion.

 

Inspiring and philanthropic,

like an exemplar to the entire people;

She guided me with warmth and a gospel.

 

Falling into place,

unexpectedly before my eyes of blue;

She smiled with whispers of her virtue.

 

Beauty surrounding me,

a Goddess like you I never witnessed;

From this day forth, I am your artist.

 

So, I surrender to you,

and without warning,

I have fallen in love,

in love with you.

For a hug from you

Word of Advice

A small word of advice

to the man with facial hair,

I beg you to try with all of your might

your strength,

your beloved experience

from your grandfather and grandmother,

I beg of you

I beg for you

exist without learning,

and you’ll die like bark,

exist with welcoming arms of teachings,

and you’ll live forever in love.

A small word of advice.

Where?

Where is my love?

I have so many friends.

So many people love me.

Where is my love?

It hurts.

Daily. I’ve written it before.

I’ve said it before.

I can’t take this pain, anymore.

I don’t know what I’ll do.

I don’t know what I’ll say.

It hurts so much.

I’ve never been in love.

I’ve only ached.

Every second of the day.

Every calendar year.

Every moment.

Where is my love?

Wheat Field with Crows

I opened my heart,

to the greatest expanse of lovers.

I let out the secrets,

to the crows flying in the sky.

I held them sacred forever,

until this day that I die.

Why

I can’t ask you why you don’t love me.

I can’t ask you for the specific reasons.

I can’t ask you to go away and leave me.

I can’t ask you to understand me.

I can’t ask you to give yourself completely.

I can’t ask you to share with me what you wish not too.

I can’t ask you for forgiveness that I do not deserve.

I can’t ask you to come back to me.

I can’t ask you any of these things.

 

I can’t ask you why,

For I’m not sure I wish to know the answer.

Water

I’m hoping the water has stopped for some reason.

I had a plumber out today.

Not sure if he fixed it.

My neighbor and I have the same problem.

Only he had stuff stuffed in his storage room. 

He got it out just now.

So, we’ll see what happens when we both have it cleaned out.

If any more water comes out.
