Here I sit
composing juices spurting
spewing, gushing, splashing,
dripping every wall!
like Mount Etna awakened
my mind erupting with poetic
genius
like Roman Candles
on 4th of July
up hops lover, the cat
he tangles my hands
mounts the keyboard
demanding, purring
I say, "lover, have you no
respect for art, for my
exquisite, rarer singular mind producing --
he meows
needfully reminds me
"nothing more important than
petting" --
HMMMM
TIME, SPACE, AND A PLACE
HMMMM
SOOTHING SLOW PACE AND A SMILE ON MY FACE
HMMMM
AWAY FROM THE RACE WITH NO HINT OF A TRACE
FOR A SPELL I WILL NOT SHOW
FOR NOW I PRESS HOLD ON 'GO'
FOR A LITTLE WHILE I SET MYSELF FREE
UNDERSTAND THAT I NEED THIS FOR ME
THAT BEING SAID I WILL SEE YOU IN A FEW
THIS BREAK IS SO NEEDFULLY NEEDED AND VERY LONG OVERDUE
breaking free
though i have bills left to pay
i make a needed bad decision again
the beach is calling me
i do anything and everything to avoid the obvious and do the opposite
defiance is the devil in disguise and a blessing as a backup
however, i enjoy breaking free going somewhere where i am needfully unfamiliar
i deserve getting it deep from my lady
i deserve paying a particular price for a bad decision
i guess i am wrong to immediately plan a december trip in my head
at times i get tired of letting the current reality dictate my most tranquil of wants and needs (in that order)
that being said, i pull up the discarded plan once again
breaking free
lately
i have been seeing you in a different light
honestly
you have become even more beautiful throughout the years
unexpectedly
you make me nervous like the very first view of you
actually
that is a good thing
i have not been showing you the attention that you deserve
i let my being a bashful introvert block the Blessing right under my nose
this routine that we have been stuck in needs a laxative with a sincere heartbeat
i know exactly where we can rekindle, revisit, and reignite
lately
i have been seeing you in a different light
honestly
you have become even more beautiful throughout the years
obviously
i have been dropping the ball in a freefall to a potential hell
needfully
we gots ta get it on again like that old song goes
please take my hand for a date back to our natural roots
i would love the honor of that smile that more than won me over
please accept these flowers as a token of my appreciation, gratitude, and love
from here, let's rework the art that was once so beautifully made
I love thee more than needfully
The surety of breath
The misty cloud of memory
That follows me in death
I love thee more than eagle wings
That soar above the dens
And splash the pools of silver springs
In misty mountain glens
I love thee more than angel dust
Is helping me to fly
In visions of the moon, I trust
Will catch me floating by
I love thee more than tongue can tell
In fervent passion stress
My gratitude for living well
Inside your tenderness
I love thee more than life is long
Or lingers more to hold
The happiness of this, my song
In pleasures bright and bold
I love thee more than ecstasy
Is leading me astray
And how you set my spirit free
To love thee more each day.
wondering why still
always will until
hoping one day you will come back
i abuse bowls of cap'n crunch with hope in vain
then i break out the breyers snickers ice cream
right behind that, some bon bons
i needfully include a large box of lactade
i sit in wait and get my fill
wondering why still
always will until
i let myself go and accept the blessing
you unveil my inner self to view
i feel as if i am needfully convalescing
for this feeling is so rare and few
after painting the town,
there is an odor in the air
untouched and reeking of
uh oh
unfinished business can
always break through
the smokescreen
substitute
when the spike is thrown
back in the air, where it
lands is where life left
its bullhorn
the peaceful dream excursion
is over, and the acidic bookmark
is tossed back in the solution
for another time when an escape
from the norm is needfully needed
there is no other love
one is water on the mind of my soul
it is never truly magic until created through the work required
now here we are....living together but homeless within the dwelling
the internal guessing games becomes similar to trivial persuit
our individual vision are now mostly consumed with wondering
if i could build a greenhouse in the center of your mind
lavender vibes would overtake the musty afterthoughts previously thought to be nonexistent
u-turns and cloverleaf interchanges would merge needfully to make our way back to the essence of our genuine love's roots
when the water is spread
and the magic has mesmerized
the overall conclusion formed is that the square root of love....is love....like no other....
the trees' breath blow peace
consumption is always there
needfully enjoyed....
