Party

I'd like to leave this party
it's not fun anymore
The buffet doesn't taste
The way I remembered
Food to be

I'd like to leave this party
Too depressed to drink
Too lazy to break confinement
My glass remains empty

I'd like to leave this party
And find a quiet place
Where an eagle's cry
Doesn't mean tears
Doesn't mean fears

What comes

What comes is not expected
And expectations
Fall short of
Reality

prompted by a Kid

Considering my history,
Prompted by a Kid
May you read between the lines
Or read the written word
You will get two sides of my
Story

waterfall

The experience was like
Standing by a towering waterfall
Casting a mist that played with light
A harpist's fingers making prisms

And I felt the mist settle
On my brow
Weeping willows swept softly
While I gazed at the calm

Music’s song

I listen to music
I remember days, New
Saddle blankets, dusty gear
Sweet straw under beauty’s feet

The air mocks days in duster and hat
Rain popping on felt
I feel the wetness on my cheek
I’m in love with this moment

I listen to music and I remember
Tents and campfires
Horses sleeping, breathing in time
With the frogs on mossy rocks

There is no heaven after death
Heaven is what we find
Random gifts
I’ve come to believe

I want to be
The Velcro strip
That attaches to your Velcro parts

What

What path is taken
Cannot be taken back
And footprints mark
And wash away
Like memories we thought
Would be remembered
A journal always open
Better left blank

He

He took a puff
Turned his head to me
Leaned in and
Exhaled into my mouth
He said “give me your tongue “. I did

Long fingers

He has long fingers
I handed him a guitar
He played by ear
My moans, his sweet melody

Imperfections

You love me so much
If only I didn’t do this or that
I’d be perfect
Your perfect
Unfortunately, I like imperfections

There’s usually

There’s usually
A hand to touch
If you’re standing in line
Or, side by side
Touch it
