My dog seems content

Intent

To sniff the ground

Taking censes
Of all around

For this is her's;
 .....Her territory,
.....Her domain,

I'm but along for the ride

That "bonding" shit

.....You know?

Bearing witness
I watch your lives

Neighbors going about
Friendly, self absorbed,

they say hi

While familiar;

Just know me as that guy

Who walks the dog.

I guess that I’m lazy and you’re a bit crazy, yes! I'll miss you when you go

It’s been such long time since we started out and there’s So much I want you to know

I cannot go with you and you cannot stay here, I guess God planned it this way
Goodbye to this end of my very best friend and I hope you are happy some day
While the sun sets lowly behind your eyes and a new dawn awaits you afar
I’ll remember those times, my partner in crime, celebrated on those distant stars
Yes! I’m going to miss you, and that comfort in knowing, the peace in having someone
For the past seven years and thirty three days if needed you always would come
I’m not really quite certain why we never were more than we are to this day
Yet still there is more than meets someone’s eyes, and tomorrow you go away.
So everyone, this is my very best friend and if you meet her treat her with kind
For she stood beside me when I was no one, as our paths became intertwined
I’ll miss you babe ……..

It was a nice day,

Nothing special

Just a day

Where most pass by

An endless stream,

Blending,

One into another

Without notice

Dissected only by the chaos

Of monthly bills and collectors

Today was a day I recognized

Birds overhead

Fly, flutter and land

On the wires laid upon open skies

While sounds of tires

Form a choir

Throw off their gentle grind

Like thousands of voices

crying

Low and constant,

without break

On the highway

Never ending

Yet to city boys

like me

the silence of sounds

white noise

artificial

man made

Gives us comfort

surrounds us

Lets us know we are not alone

Though

In actuality

I could probably count my friends

On my fingers and hands

Still

Today was a day I recognize

You head out

It’s late

But you’ve done it a thousand times before

It should be routine,

You don’t think about it

Get up,

Shower,

Get dressed,

Breakfast,

Coffee

No

Skip breakfast

You’ll grab something later

Coffee’s fine

You’re in your car

Traffic seems lighter today

No, it’s the same

And it was yesterday

And it is today

And it will be tomorrow

Then she walked in

Now nothing fits

Nothing works

You scramble to find questions 

But you don’t want answers

I remember the first sight

How small I was

Infinitesimal

To stand at the edge

Staring at Infinity

Watching the waves

Massed in rows

Like so many armies

My board and I

leashed

Waiting to tame

No, not tame

Waiting to master

All I need

is

some tastey waves

and

some

cool buds!

I alone hear the echoes

that claimed the dark

which hide the shadows

.... they haunt me

like so many ghosts

of choices made
of roads I took
Tonight is nice
Peaceful, calm
Now content
with solemn stare
I walk along
And think of times
Where laughter ruled
of pretty maids
of failed attempts
at boyish charms
and ill intents
yet in my prime
and in my time
rest broken hearts
both theirs and mine.....
Tonight has not yet taken light
Yet this sun does't fade from sight
I walk
I like this time
All seems planned
All seems right.

The worst part of being man is not the dying

No, I believe the hardest part is the knowing

Of all creatures, we alone must wrestle eternity

But for only a very, very short while

In between we laugh and play and cry

Afraid of the dark 

Afraid to say God

Laura, drawing on paper

My life lay before me like chapters of a book

I find myself enjoying these pages as I grey
To look forward seems strange to me
No, I think I will hang in the present and look back
I do not feel sad that the best is behind me
I accept it for I knew it would come
Nothing is permanent
Like you

I let it wash over me

I like those moments,
they are short
without rush
there is a calm
like air,
like nothing
Where your skin disappears
It is but a brief spec
It is a tic of the clock
The bat of the lash
But in this time
Lies eternity
In eternity
Lies peace
And in peace
Is the reason to live.

The day the hurricane closed it's eye.....

....... I opened mine

and it's last breath.....

became my first

I am Danielle

It is my Birthday

I am 21today

Air so thick it sticks to every breath taken

Sun so hot and there’s a storm coming.

There’s a moment before the clouds move in

There’s a moment before the cold wind rushes

There’s a moment before the rain

That cooks you, your skin, it broils in its heat

Sweat pours out but you can’t tell

You are already wet from the humid air

Air that does not move

You remind me of a summers day

You remind me of the heat

Then comes the rain and it feels cool

Wind on rain soaked skin sinks to your core

Like you, it’s worth the wait.

It’s more of a feel than something
Captured like a soft sting, quick
Sharp and hidden in a white world
You feel that something’s wrong
Sorry?
Sorry is not a word
It does describe what’s occurred
And I know it’s not the right thing
To stop the night, to sit quiet, dream
Watching the dark move along in
Soft and flowered wrapped sarongs
Empty glasses, reflecting noise
Lights, brightened, hide the stars
Competes
Defeats a waxing moon
To cage souls within these bars
Forever lost to haunt this room
Never to try I just watch her go, leave,
Blend into the night she makes her escape
Out a door
While I, a fool 
could have not loved her more

We are funny,
People that is

We kill things

We don’t understand

We just kill things

We trod through life

We trample under foot

The land

The animals

Our fellow man

We shed our tears

We protest with our voice

We point our finger

We crucify
We Justify

We pray to God
Then Crucify him
or her
But don’t feel bad

Because we are fed

Cinderella

Happily ever after

Apple Pie

American Dream

Enjoy that TV
Everything is OK

Have fun at the mall

Buy something pretty

Just put it on the card

They'll take care of us

We trust them

We heard "family values"

In their speaches
In their words

We need not be concerned

For we are sheep

And we know not what we do.

I blame not me

For any of the issues

You seem to have

Like I am suppose to walk my walk

In a manner you approve

You judge me without judging yourself

You dis’ me without wearing my shoes

You claim me queer and strange

And I look at you like what the fuck!

I don’t know about myself,

Question every step that’s taken

In security's insecurity,
tense, shaken, a trait mistaken
Mistaken for weakness,
shows ne're a sound,
make not a sign
Stand tall,
protect the white,
soft underbelly
where fates resign
Guard,
defend,
loins girded,
hiding deep
in blackened shadow
Cards to chest,
Swords,
light reflecting,
polished ,
sharpenned blades,
held at ready,
prepared for battle
that looms and lurks
out the door,
emotions enter
killing floors
Strange,
every moment,
life lived,
and every day
that holds in store
A quiet comfort,
to know thyself,
to be this man,
forever more.

Gentle is the stream that flows

Dark and passing waters deep
Near the place that all roads end
To lie inside where oceans sleep
What was once a crystal stream
melting snow and dazzling heights
Mighty was my gentle roar
As mountains fell beneath my might
Travel, bending ever so
I raced across the country side
Became a friend to all I know
To carry them far and wide
Confident I’d always be
Eternal rising suns descend
Serpent like within my shores
Could not predict this moment’s end
