Spring on hiatus
Begrudging everyone’s wish
A long hot summer...

Eyes open slowly,
dawn light seeping in through cracks -
begrudging morning...

Chariot of fire
close your eyes and say a prayer
for it's your time to sleep.

Set and take with you
begrudging darkness of the day
trailing behind you.

The hills are calling
give way to a new days dawning
let thy nemesis arise.

confidence
                                self assured, poised
                       unassuming, leading, persuasive,
                           leader, parent, loner, bully
                       bragging, disparaging, lambasting
                                begrudging, angry

Begrudging Enabler

Why do you do this to yourself?
Maybe a better question is
why do I allow you to do this
to yourself?

I have been your enabler.
If you ask me to go get your
poison I will begrudgingly
oblige, helping you to kill
yourself.

After I give you the goods
I will walk away feeling like
crap about it, dreaming
of the day that I have the
courage to tell you no...

So I'll burst forth like a seismographic telegraph,
Churning forward verbs and nouns,
Begrudging the kind of adult looks you get
From people who are too scared to be honest.
The ones who yearn for the wild,
But are to rooted in the towing of the line.

To them I say: rip yourself out of your chair.
Breathe unknown air.
Lift your soul towards the simmering clouds
And feels how it is to burn yourself through 
In cool, slow tempos....

The juries of debauchery; with there jaded little judging’s;
  They leave no room for circumstance; because it’s known they are begrudging
They think they make it real; but real compared to what;
Opinions maybe of some exiles; that circle in a rut.
   A simple minded creature; is the spineless jelly fish;
  But even when avoided, it’s supposed they should exist.
Disappointed and discouraged; the watcher’s walk alone;
They’ve grown to like their solitude; for most out there are drones....
