Poem for my Sunshine

Dreaming upon a cloud

lies a child that won’t come down.

She’s sharing stories with the sun

far away from everyone.

Like feathers with a youthful bounce,

their bones fade, and their spirits spring out.

He shines down light for her to play.

Though if he weeps, she loves the rain.

She says, “We’re growing flowers in each other minds.

I’ll water your garden, if you water mine.

Thank you for your warmth, 

and kind guidance that leads me forth.

I am not alone when you are in my thoughts.

I no longer feel so lost.

Comforting soul friend, my home in the flesh,

you’re a needed accomplice in life’s chaotic mess.

Adrift in my sorrows with little hope for tomorrow,

even in the darkness I can see your light.

For you support the entire moons brightness

in the middle of the night.

Dream drift to be

the Great King of the deep sea.

Grab your tools and come rule with me.

Help me conquer these demons that think they roam free,

whether in our real lives or just make-believe.”

Then the child fell asleep on a wispy featherbed,

with thoughts of her sunshine easing her head.

My breath is

a foggy

secluded

swing set

squeaking

with every

slight and sudden

wind

[endlessperspectiveexpressions]

I love the rain...

and the late nights up by myself,

watching the dawn, collecting the glow.

Sleeping, when the world wakes up.

I like the shadows,

in the darkness, I more comfortably play.

Maybe my biological clock is on delay...

or maybe I just love the quiet, silent,

disappeared, after-hour, lonely movie.

I’m invisible, but free,

I’m dark and alive, but you can’t see.

Please don’t yell at me! I run away,

with my mind and I don’t know where I hide,

because I try so hard to feel okay,

in the moments that drag me down,

but when you break me, 

I have to scream out loud!

Because I’m still disturbed by your rage, and pain,

and bitter disappointment.

I fall to the ground and shatter...

surrendering, 

to everyone who has ever stole me...

My Magical Alchemist

The stars were calling him home.

His sweet light was missed.

For he helped the universe shine brighter

and more clearly.

You would like to get lost in his glow,

you would like to curl up and sleep in his essence,

because you can’t get lost in the dark anymore

when his energy is a comfortable feather-bed, tinted

by the light of love and nourishment.

He gives rest to the stars out of orbit,

he can calm the spinning vortexes 

that would otherwise suck away all life,

and he stills them peacefully, 

with an always present Godly touch.

He’s gentle and caring, a secluded solace,

when the world becomes too much.

Tell me, do you feel this too?

Tell me, do you want it like I do?

Tell me, will our dreams come true?

Tell me, can I think of you...

in all the that ways I do?

Tell me, can you love a stone-cold heart?

Tell me, can you heal my used and aching parts?

Tell me, if I’m in the dark,  Baby,

Tell me, will you save me?

Tell me, if you’re leaving me today...

Tell me, when you’ll go away...

Tell me, all your secret games...

Tell me, if you miss your older days...

Tell me, will you kiss me hand?

Tell me, do you fully understand...

how much I goddamn love you?

The cosmic heavens above,   shined down light and eternal love. Forces so strong and true   that they can bind me and you. The world can grow from its happiness;   the world can grow from its suffering. If you hold me in your heart,   our magic will never part. I am you and you are me,   together, we are one and free!

Wrapped up 

in a thought cloud

I escape

I come down

My face melts peculiarly 

onto my felted sheets

I’m wrung dry

shrinking my heart another time 

The method to my madness is

don’t get lose to anyone

for they’ll love you and they’ll break you in

but they won’t stay so don’t commit

Smoke fades out in puffs of gray haze

a natural maze from the ordinary daze

A light-life caught up in night-time

Caught up in his eyes that don’t touch me
