I think I see blue skies
Then I look in your eyes
And I see grey looking back at me.

Mind death
Dearer than all else
Willingly forget
Drink in oblivion
Only tomorrow exists.

Hum-Drum

Hum-Drum

Listen to the rain

Hum-Drum

Hum-Drum

Words swirling round my brain –

Soggy, wet, dreary

Rain begone

Come back sunshine

And fine days.

But recently

Our view has changed –

Wel-Come

Wel-Come

Hear the new refrain

Wel-Come

Wel-Come

Water gurgling in the drain.

My head spins.

You’d think it would stop sometime.

Oh well.

So sick of navel gazing.

Maybe I’ll try naval gazing instead

And ponder God’s thoughts

Given form in the sea breezes.

You spoke to me

(Though not in as many words)

God, I just can’t contain

This feeling of joy!

Feel I’m gonna burst

It’s all gonna burst out of me!

You’ve opened my eyes

Just that little bit more

And moved my feet

Just one more step.

Oh God,

Such a small advance,

But it makes me feel

My journey feels half over –

I know it was you

I know you directed my steps!

I find myself torn

Happy, yet also

Disappointed.

Hungry for love I succumb

Then I become

Angry

With myself

With the world that shaped me.

How did you see me

Before?

And now?

Am I really so different?

Shadow-boy
Lived by the sea
He recalled the rocks
Winter would leave raw.
 
They would take the time
To watch
To listen
But never tell
His secrets to the wind.
 
He wished always
For friends like those.

Frugal
With my words
Learning
New ways of seeing
Of expression.

The moon
Shining,
Iridescent white in the sky
Covered with clouds
But piercing the veil.

Fleeting visions of God
Leave me dissatisfied
Longing for a more permanent view.
 
Occasional touches
Just cause me frustration.
 
My usual state
Is one of confusion.
God, this can’t be right,
Why isn’t loving you easier?
Somewhere along the line
Shouldn’t things make sense somehow?
