Excerpts From the Edge

negative noise
   weighted chest
       arms extended
overhead
waiting for a
   falling breeze
to
   carry me over

Cold, 
Power within, 
Waiting to be released, 
Pull the pin, 
Count to five, 
Throw away, 
Power unleashed, 
Cold.

wash me down
simple moments water rushing
over winter white feet
tumbled rocks purple catches me
waiting.

I smile serenely and sit
waiting as my mentor taught
to please weary gentlemen
massaging egos.

On a rainy day
People go to Tim Horton's
To have a light lunch
While enjoying their meal
Waiting for the rain to end.

Waiting for my lonely heart to break

I Am Here Waiting

I am here
in a farm
in the cold
in Yaldabaoth’s charm
waiting for Christ’s arm
I am here

Full speed ahead 
in and
for the spot light
resting between the breaths
waiting for the next 
until 
the final rest.

Enveloped By You

our bodies fit warmly together
like a handwritten love letter 
placed in a scented envelope
that's waiting to be mailed

Waiting

Sitting by this fence...
One side life commence.
to cross wait for whence
an invitation hence;
sitting by this fence...

a road calling 
don't go
listen to me
big fire is waiting 
desires turn into torture

In rhythms of today
the silence of tomorrow
Where promise lies waiting

Precious moment between thoughts ?? 

Watching, waiting, clouds appear
Passing by, 
Leaving...
