A Stream Of UnConsciousness

without a pen i bleed my poetry 
on this pad for all to read
you know me i write too much
without enough to say
that's how my love works
and who i am

i won't quibble about the bill
i'll pay
even leave a generous tip
from the tip of my toes
ten in all
to my arms reaching for the sky

and if by chance 
i overreach 
so what 
i'll take the moon 
and the sun too

there's no risk 
if it doesn't burn
without risk 
safe 
is just a place imagined 
there's no jazz without a blue moon
no hearty laugh 
if you've never felt blue

let's skip the intros 
run the bases
hit that home run on our first date
i'll kiss you an eon
hold you on my chest
whisper in your ear

i'll make you laugh
promise to bring you back
once the ecstasy of us peaks
but don't worry 
like a gold yo-yo
or even a trampoline 
we'll bounce back 
and return to euphoria 

catch our breath

careful not to break the string
or miss the circled spring

you can only have it all
once you understand 'nothing'
we're born with it
but without the wit to understand it

me 
i held it in my hand
until i was old enough to throw it like a boomerang 
and every time it returns it's you

i always knew
bliss isn't forever
just the length of your kiss

from my first breath 
i was convinced there'd be a long last sigh
as long as it's the love of two
my love for you
your lips for me

our horizon is not a straight line
just the only line i crave
so bring out the bongos 
play me a beat
and let's dance into eternity 

a series of lives
each one unique
and always
it's you and me

one more go

let's breathe
