coming and going

how can i be angry?
how could i hate you?
i wish you were here right now
instead of floating away.
helpless and confused
i let you drift away.
just wish you could have stayed..

how weird.
unexpected.
i miss you.
i don't know why.

passing stranger

i was doing fine
i was doing splendid
i built up these walls right high
and i was safe in my castle'd heart
of stone and mortar and memories.

somehow you snuck in
through some crack or flaw 
i had not sealed up right
ran rampant through the ramparts
planted new seeds and tore up other starts
cut down the trees and built me some fences.
left me defenseless,
drawbridge down i offered
my queen, my heart, all i had to offer
asked for nothing
got nothing in return
you left me wide open
my hall is empty.

comfortable and secure
Spartan in my needs and desires
now I see my weakness
I see my loneliness 
even if it is solitude 
I choose.

Safer to be alone
Safer to be aloof
an Island always
inaccessible.
glittering safely away from the hands of Men.

glowworm

islands are all deserts
even when they are an oasis.
it rains tonight
i am thinking of you.

what will the tides bring?
when will they take it away?

content
like 
the
rising
and falling
of 
my
fat cat's
belly.

we are beaches and trees and ocean

we are spending a fair bit of time in Water.
showering for hours and hours
walking home in the rain
kiss by the shore
stumble 'round get clean once more.

you are the hidden spring in the forest
i am the fickle mist of the tide line.

too sad to write words
of wishes that go unheard.
moonlit eyes, bright on the bay
star's reflections bring light to my contemplations.
alone
alone
on the water.
