awkwardly waiting, ‘in-between’
not yet adults, no longer tweens
larvae-like lurking, behind-the-scenes
‘fore bursting their shells, onto life’s screen

It was Santa's last port of call,
A house that looked awkwardly tall,
It had a long chimney,
Through it was a journey,
It ushered him to a large hall.

This morning tried calling mom to collude
Dad explained awkwardly pet care ensued
Later thought the answer quite abnormal
Having no pets the excuse seemed immoral
Given Dad said was giving the kitty some food

Awkwardly I sit and muse

storm is coming
beyond the rising storm
the desire is falling awkwardly
life at a plateau
as we watch reluctantly
into our world
we see it torn apart
the storm is
inevitable
it is coming
we can stand and fight
or leave and take flight
storm is coming

Go. Go, already. The father told his son
He bit his lip, clenched his fist
The son did not see the father’s pain
Go, Go, already. His heart, racing madly
The son pivoted awkwardly
~ he quickly walked away

love is what
the soul feels and
the body writes...
Many write
sans art, sans love,
others love awkwardly
and art...
I imagine the
love is imprinted
in the chest and
preserved
in the heart...
love...we won,
love love
we donate
and we received
in body
and soul...!

I want to be
Amazingly, exstatically, unconditionally
Unforgettably, accidentally, anxiously
Awkwardly, wildly, equally,
Unexpectedly, truthfully, foolishly
Deliberately, tenderly, surprisingly,
Faithfully, innocently, happily,
Honestly, joyously, kindly
In love with you.

high in the
highlands
Scotland
where he
found a
new yes
an
entirely new
species of
butterfly and
named it
after his
wife
now
she is
my wife
as i stand
awkwardly
with not one
but a dozen roses
in
hand
thinking
obviously
not planned
very well for how
can this top that

Soft and quiet one moment,
Rough and demanding the next.
Underminded and distant another moment,
Outspoken and won't let go seconds later.
Put together and thoughtful after mere minutes,
Unorganized and jumbled awkwardly after.
He has no excuse as to why,
But I do.
My boyfriend is an oxymoron,
When it comes to me.

Touching the soft light
Fumbling with forevermore
Releasing fumes, feelings glow,
Breathtaking, dreams trembling, awkwardly climbing,
Arrested by fate, the flow of mystery,
Triplex herbs in indigo, violet kiss
Stirring disciplines,
Evoking her light,
glowing beneath the unsteady crevices
Reflecting the impossible, dazzling, bright.

it's not unlike
the fluorescent light in my kitchen
which is faulty
it flickers on and off
that's what it's like just now to write again
my muse... like Cinderella waking
eyelids fluttering
taking you up hands and embrace
we begin dancing awkwardly together
like candlelight and darkness
I am the incandescence and you
the ink

live
not to exist in this life
never to feel
clenching your teeth
squeezing your eyes closed
holding your breath
throwing this gift away to rot
breathe deeply
take life in like cold sharp air
shocking your lungs
spraying vivid colors all over
screaming out
laughing awkwardly
let life loose
like sand to run through your fingers
swim in it
immerse yourself
live

right now
pumping gas
i'm thinking about
you
moments ago waking
sleeplessly because i was
thinking about
you
it doesn't seem
to matter what i do
or even dream because
you
are always
even awkwardly
on my mind time and
you
time again
because time
repeats itself and
you
are always
anxietyly amen
again and again and
i
just
started
with the "a's"

DIGNITY
The racing crowd streamed from the station,
And flowed towards the bus stop.
It ebbed at the kiosk for cigarettes,
Swirling around two undignified ripples:
An old beggar crawling on the ground,
Scrambling for a few coins scattered;
Three pigeons walking awkwardly around,
Scrambling for a few scattered crumbs.
The human race was more dignified
As we scrambled for crowded buses.

If you run over a cat, dog, or
a child
sorrow cannot say sorry,
it is not like bumping into a stranger
with a polite excuse-me smile, no -
if a life ends under you
you can only scream into a box,
a heavy box you send to yourself –
maybe you’ll replay the scream later,
then later still.
Maybe you will carry that box around awkwardly
tucked under one arm while you drive on,
only now
with just one hand on the wheel.

Unwanted 'ugly-duckling', pushed from nest early
Spiraled down to unspeakable depths, crushed
Astonished by unexpected love and care, grew wings
Awkwardly flapped to outlandish heights
Tragedies hit, like plate glass window mid-flight
Expectations shattered, painful shards embedded
Weight of life's strain, lost dreams, broke wings
Fell back to earth, grounded, exhausted
Scarred but somewhat stronger, re-learning to fly

lift me up, birds of praise,
I'm sinking in the spaces
of this unholy void.
She twirls with her lace,
and momentarily paces,
this cemetery is wired
hidden in darkest grit soils.
if our passion builds a fire,
elementary of the passion
we even forget our names.
As our eyes staked to claim
awkwardly drawn together,
so newly shyly terrifying,
if the spark wasn't mystifying,
lady bugs kissing on feathers

on a shoestring diet only going around in circles ~ yo yo
inside a huge tornado just somewhere over the rainbow ~ toto
happily oblivious on a corkscrew rollercoaster ~ ho ho
somersaulting off the high board heading for a bellyflop ~ no no
paratroopers landing awkwardly behind enemy lines ~ go go
highly intelligent beings orbit the densest planet ~ so so

Oh! how i love the rain
to watch it's beauty
fall from above
like the tears of angels
washing away the scars of yesterday
it's always the same
TRUTHFUL
POETIC
STEADY
It can be gentle
like a first kiss
or angry, as a last goodbye
it never gets lonely
always consistant
DRIZZLING
POURING
POUNDING
What beauty!
those countless tears
awkwardly falling
from the face of a bashful sky
i love the rain
PURE
PASSIONATE
CLEAN
UNASSUMING...

Imperfect she isn't, in her white lace dress,
Her short curly blond hair in such a mess.
Benevolence, four-years-old, three feet tall,
Such a precocious pearl, her finger so small.
She walks in with elegant garden flowers
Among the glimmering smile she towers.
Warm light rays awkwardly squeeze through the door
As she makes her first step onto the floor.
She imagines delight in her mom's eyes,
Caressing the garden flowers with surprise

that fine day
wind in my hair
sun on my back
i'd noticed your smile
lightening my way we'd
canvased life's scars
sudden callings mounted
above a sassiness
for peace the berlin wall
crawled awkwardly
chains rattled steel doors
grounded throughout
salted stone
an yet you sounded
the trumpets opening
rusted gates
right off the hinges
oh how small i felt
jesus welp as
your words finally
come into existence
blind no more
and seeing
i am a human being

I was in pain, awkwardly perched
on the thick branches of a tree
where I had landed with a thud
confused and dazed, could hardly see.
How did I get into this mess,
with tattered clothes and much distress?
Over the fence I’d made my way,
could not resist ripe apples’ pull,
but failed to see the warning sign
which said: “Beware of roaming bull!”

He was a little chubby
Others called him tubby
He couldn't catch a ball
Awkwardly would he fall
One day he took sick, then got sicker
At his plight, the others snickered
He knew they teased him
Which did not please him
He stayed at home, locked inside
Afraid and alone, he wanted to die
Then at last he'd had enough
Too bad for them---life is tough
He returned to school and gunned them down
Left a note: ---Yours came around.
