watches

They are hiding our secrets in the skies

No one here can take me out of this place

No one here has a disguise

I am not scared and I am not mad

I will stand my ground here

I will stand my ground

Torr with a glass eye.

If I had a glass eye I could 

watch the ravens glide across the midnight sky.

If I had a glass eye I could 

read all the true crime books published on the countryside.

If I had a glass eye I could 

watch the stars burn deeper than veins, in the black sea of sky.

Centuries without peonies.

The way you move,

The breeze between your teeth and cheeks

Your tongue, where words dance and fly

Shuffle your shoes, get in the groove.

Just let it all hang loose. There is love in

This room. For you, I will hold the moon’s

Light and love you at night. I will dance across

The sea, until my feet turn sore. For you, I

Will leave my hair long, so you can love be

Before dawn. The way you move, is why

I love you.

New Moon.

Step into nature.

Slow down.

Slow your brain down.

Slow as a caterpillar crawl.

Slow your mind down.

Slow down.

Shake your worries to

The breeze.  Breathe in

Rhythm with the ocean’s

Waves.

Slow 

Down.

Poem.

Little thoughts that make me hungry

When time seems to empty, the sea gets angry

Ashore, my mind sits with the turtle eggs and sand

Deep down, beneath the tide, a world to explore

A place to be, with the seahorses and shells

Dance under the moonlight where the sea meets

The horizon and the bees come out to play

There is a special warm breeze and a feeling

Of happiness. Before the sea eats the land, before

The people suffocate the Earth and the clouds

Eat the stars. Dive into the sea and fine love.

a banana peel.

This dude I know smells like worms,

And has a loose front tooth.

He rides the bus to work every day.

His favorite snack is ice cream and he

Has a great first name.

Leonard.

believe in love 

The bonfire that burns, I fell in love with the fire long ago
Long before you and I, long before the river danced and the trees sang.
Stand still, your roots make a home in the Earth while the birds play
With your hair. I’d love to love you while the stars burn and the
Music plays. Promise to love me even on days when I break.
