Good Morning

One day I woke to find I was no longer dreaming

of a recognizable past.

Faces were blurred into laughs,

smiles into last glances - finger tips

barely grazing along the door knobs that led outside.

And all at once I knew that life had moved on,

people had become persons

and I was just waking up.  

I looked to you.

It dawned on me not quickly,

but gradual as it should.

Acknowledgment,

understanding and a bit of anxiety -

seeing through the layers of fine threaded

lies you told yourself, and others.

About what you wanted, who you are.

I can see myself in you. A scared creature

luring in influences

and locking up futures.

Desperate for a safe bet.

Seeking constant reassurance that this

path, this road has an end.

But as I grow older and these

moons and suns circle inwards and around,

I am finding the reason you are scared

is because the is no such thing.

And it is more alright to sit with fear,

than to run passionless through the

wet, unforgiving night.

Last night closed eyelids

led to dreams about today.

The first of the month 

the very beginning of May.

Back two decades ago,

then add a few days,

I first opened my eyes,

in a building by the bay. 

Never expecting to be here

not still, not this way,

I promised to make changes,

persistently moving - this is the way.

How can one live off of hope for so long,

it tastes of bitter roots and ashes.

It makes me yearn for long, newly tarred highways

with yellow and white dashes not yet driven upon.

No skid marks to forewarn me -

no smiling billboards to engage.

Just an open road of fresh beginnings -

nothing lost, nothing to save.

Is this the dead end?

Your love feels like a dull nail,

being drug across my un-sanded 

wooden desk - full of papers,

about boys I once loved - when I was young.

And I can already feel new friends fading,

with each thought that trips through 

the vine filled jungle floor of my mind. 

People and things once cherished in 

a shared space - vanish before our eyes

with a single status update. 

Walk backwards

Silky subtle moments that slip through slivers,

increasing episodes of intelligent insight,

revolutionary reflections on renegade routines,

enhancing, enticing, entrancing eternal-

memories of maybe, might of, and most certainly.

Wishing for once, that when poetry is put to pictures,

the foggy feelings can fight through the facade

of not ever having been there at all. 

Tell me how much I am worth, I’ll prove you wrong.
