hip reminder words
walk concrete paths of someone elses’
wishing well...
uttering differences, foreign languages
that swear in four seasons
redirecting those insane cruel
innuendoes of shattered glass
horrible noises with swollen eyes
awarding guilt reasons to have an aversion to
which plead with have to’s
of all my catch phrases that can’t be seen

better to feel nothing at all!
what reassures are the “never lies”
of silence…
truth is influential
strong
written words from outreach programs
damage control
never seamed…to fit…
blame came in slip of the tongue
indecisions
fear
green envy

i am unafraid to dream
in my magic coat, yet to be on paper
snapping furiously, the passions of it all
please
i do not feel your angel
nor taste your sky
when you go, i will not live in your mind
but I do see your white sleep
of which I’ve fallen from grace
let me cry
let me scream
let me dream
let me walk in lush emerson
approachable

i hope you understand
my muse whispers with myriad form
before my last chance is gone

i cannot be in your memory of time
nor your compressed feelings
i still have questions to live
still have petals in a shopping bag

there’s an ocean
standing outside my door
attempting to reach me…
i have to leave
don’t be afraid
a deeper song
swims toward the light
i make no promises
perhaps if only a muffled cry
catches the sea
goose bumps carry me
making no promises

So many times I have felt this pull...

and I know
when it reaches me,
all I can hopefully do...

is float!

~ and that is one very good reason for learning how to swim! Both you and your pen stroke very well, indeed!

Swim on, m'friend!

You write a sensitive goodbye.  I admire the way you stay true to yourself.
