boxes strewn on the floor
papers from a time before
when outcomes were attached
to futures hidden in the past

a black trash barrel stands guard
just in case the mind detaches
from dreams of the longest yard
measured hopes lost by inches

who needs fears and resentments
stored in cardboard memories
moments spent trying to please
slaves master of codependency?

right outside the kitchen door
comes the weekly garbage truck
boxes slide across the floor
time to give up ifs and buts




cardboard memories...

free of desire
fleeting moments

fearless floating
feathers on the breath

forgiving
forgetting

forging links
of lovingkindness

finding forever
within every hearts fire




finding forever...

what's the way ?
i don't think i know

are you astray ?
conscience may say so

are you willing to let go ?
somewhere over the rainbow

what are you waiting for ?
rain and tears to become one

someone to tear down the walls ?
lightning striking or a tornado ?

but lightning struck
and the tornado came and even 
a flood washed everything away

so are you ready to change today ?
only getting in your own way?

yes yes it's a fact
then make the decision and act




yes yes...

comes the moment
quietly soft and warm

when the body
mind and heart and soul

wake up together
from dreaming wondering

what makes us whole
who am i after all ?

and share the laughter
of "i don't really know !"

and does it matter
after knowing one another

as being one together
whether through crisis

or failure or success
how we define our mess ?

broken wings mend
as we heal from within

looking through the veils
of tears and patina skin

coming to acceptance
of unconditionality

and loving our own
unique individuality

brings us to value
ourselves as irreplaceable

i go running
through the streets

it's peaceful
feeling muscles leap

mind focused on nothing
but where i am going

and sensing victory
over past defeats

it's good to test if 
i'm awake or still asleep

jumping over puddles
or drowning in the creek

coming to the lake
i stop to rest

catch my breath
and beat my chest

and looking across
concrete jungle shores

i give thanks
for experiencing more

not measuring 
how far i've come

but feeling the joy
of being fully human

unpolished pine floor
showing wet foot prints

stalking the spirit
eyes dry and then blink

finding pure oil
and applying with strokes

when commitment
pours out of vows poked

beliefs can resurface
with fundamental efforts

but the light reflects
when hearts shine perfect




water marks...

indiscovering you
i uncovered myself

book opened wide
still sitting on the shelf

dreams on hold
loves bold obsession

child lacking attention
adult seeking intention

rules of attraction
do not apply in distraction

resistance persists
in recovering addictions

self afflicted
indifference to action

nothing changes
until the page is turned

a heart yearning
for completion beats

until the whole
book is read allowed




book stored...

i said she was pretty
she said that was witty

i said her beauty was like a rose
she said i was blind to her thorns

i said i'd like to be between her long stems
she said she's had enough lovers and friends

i said i could warm her cold feet
she said she had socks and gas heat

i said i would love her forever
she said that would depend on the weather

i said i could wait a little longer
she said longer was much better

i said i was giving up and going for a walk
she said come back to bed and let's talk




let's talk...

near in heart
we'll always be

who you are
is the part of me

breathing love
soaring high and free

this life
we choose

without doubt or fear
creates our loves destiny

our reality 
has no boundaries

and we share
our accountabilities

we reflect each
others truth and beauty

in mirrors unveiling
the hellish and heavenly

for what is our
tragic or human comedy

cannot be hidden
within our souls intimacy

in your eyes i see
my trembling heart

beating strong
yet falling apart

no one else has 
held my life's balance

nor stayed with me
for reality's dance

i once thought 
i knew what love is

that was before
i believed in your kiss

so far away
but nearest to bliss

with you i am
being loving kindness

you are all
i forever desire

eternal light of 
my soul's burning fire




eternal fire...
