Short Back To Basics Poems

Love breathes,on everyday life
...extinguishing anger's strife

Love awaits another's call
...lies patient in us all

Love creates a whispered word
...as romance's voice is heard

Love kisses emotion's tide
...hearts opening wide

Love ignites passion's fire
...releasing mutual desire...

Low tide on muddy flat
Squishing cold between bare toes
Slipslide steps of ever careful balance
Rhythm break of sharper shells
A minefield trip to brown salt water
With sun and stench colluding
To dull the pain of outliving children
A soul re-awakens in the soft slippery
Sinking grip of tidal change
Outward inward upward
There is no end in sight
As space expands
And color runs in light 
To follow reason
Forever asking why...

Here I am again
back to basics
what I know
what makes me feel good
what I love

Lit up in the sky
on the floor
at the same time
My ticket’s in my pocket
in my mind

For a runaway train
to the dead end
I don’t mind
It’s all good for now
we say

Take this trip
in your curious mind
can you feel it?
The room is all around me
around you

Breath it in
and breathe it out
time to find
what it is I’m searching for
in me...
