Be a lover,
Be the greasy spin
Of mind in madness,
Spiral and sway
Of clouds and trees.
Be the cheap section
Of a good time song list,
And missing strings
On a good sounding guitar.
Be a warm evening
As buzzing whips of
Crackling cans opening,
And a creaky lawn chair
Hopes for strength.
Tag: sway
Tumbled (day 2660)
Long is the day
That approaches with sway
Blown by madness
Of ten angry horses
Tumbled autumn leaves
Gone, nevermore.
To Proceed (day 2488)
I’ve been wondering what the curve of your hips feels like
Watching it sway about the room from my perch
While I lazily ignore the whims of this busy world
Taking you away from me now.
I reach out at every chance I get, of course,
A squeeze that so leaves me enchanted…
And of our conversation while your rainbow of smells
Fill my soul with emotions and memories,
Yet filled with rich vibrancy of time,
That I’ve been counting from me to you
Like flowers in a sunny, afternoon stroll
Through a field that makes me jealous
(Holding memories it so caresses)
Where my feet find sturdy ground to proceed.
Silently Quiet (day 714)
It’s quiet in here
If you’re ignoring the voices
Screaming back at me
Inside my head
I can hear the dull tones
From the black box next to me
Spinning around methodically
While I go about my work
Wind blows through trees
Shimmering with a gentle sway
But that’s outside
Beyond the confines of a window
Entrapped, the house is still
Drooping plants are silently
Calling out to me
For just a splash more of water
My typing makes noises
But that sound dies
When I take moments to think
Jumping deeper inside my head
Paintings hang with memories
Time faded memories
But the image: unwaveringly visible
Clearly pulls on my thoughts
Fruits in the silver bowl
Work hardest at these times
Heat of day and sunlight curing
Hardness and tart green
The refrigerator will kick on
Every now and then
To remind me of lunch to come
Scraps of what is now left over
While I wait here
Looking at my reflection
Silently shining back at me
Curious smeared everywhere
