The Transition

a new focal point
without
losing sight of the old
this is a higher dimension
this is a new
plane of existence
this is not what you thought it was
this is not what you had before
slowly you realize that
what you took as overview
when stripped of its glory
was just an inward gaze
not really a gained insight
as much as your framework
being completely replaced -
from one dream to another

The Other Dancer
06:40

there was nothing about the other dancer
nothing remarkable to catch your eye
a foot soldier, a simple warrior
a necessary prop to tell the lie
scuffling through that darkened corridor
a brush of shoulders, a grazing touch
that glance to show he knew
the other dancer would be noticed too
there was nothing about the other dancer
no extravagant flamboyance or
excessive moves
just assertive hands on insecure hips
a strong will
caressing soft lips

Crowbar Communication
06:29
|

|
say what's on your mind
i will hear you out
say what you're thinking
i will answer you
say what you want
i will try to comply
say what you need
i will provide
silence grips you again
shuts you in, locks you up
and this gentle approach
is getting us nowhere
bring out the crowbar
i try to pry you open
but i can't force my way in
so i resign
and then you say something

Note to Self
10:48
|
|||
|
i'm surrounded by
good things in my life
love without demand
both to give and receive
must remember always
to treasure such a gift
this self-watering plant
continues to grow
not without effort it
heightens the reward
must remember always
to treasure such a struggle

Neurochemistry
06:49
|
|||
|
emotions apparently are
merely the logical conclusion
of eons and eons of
biological evolution
firing neurons and serotonine
chemistry and electricity combine
even though it's known to be just
an interplay of chemicals
dopamine and oxytocine
it's more like alchemy
a wondrous mystery that
feeling when you look at me
how come even though it's perfectly
logical, explainable and rational
rooted in the structure of my brain
the feeling hits HARD
deep in my guts
primal and overwhelming
when your arms reach out to me
but no matter the reasons
the chemical reactions
the evolutionary explanations
it's still as abstract
still as real, as heartfel
deeply meant
every time i say
|

6. |

|
this may be
an overstatement
through you i again was free
this may be
the obvious
to say you mean that much to me
but i was on a deserted road
a dead end in the middle of nowhere
and you led me out of there
this may be
an understatement
to say you've done me good
this may be
too much for you
an overwhelming declaration
but i...
i will build you a home
made from wood and stone
where he can grow
from the earth and our bone
