Tell me to writeNot typeSo I don’t lose it Held backspace, I spaced it.Replaced it.Like I didn’t know what I mean.I swear sometimes that’s everything. It’s changed so many times, I don’t know where to […]
She’s more than a warrior,she’s a wizard’s queen.She’s the only one he’s foundwith any idea what he means. Down walking she was beaming.Corners of her smile hit the sky.You could get lost in her evening. […]
Grown from talks, rows of washplaying in the sand.Catching three ancient seasdripping from a hand. Thrown from here, bursts of fearflutter in the night.Hitting four closing doors,never taking flight. Walks with the water to the […]
I’d walk a mountain, I’d scale a moon,I’d do anything for another float or two. Meet me in a corn maze.Meet me in a fire.Meet me at the airport or somewhere on the wire. A […]
Music goesWorry showsQuestioning what’s next It could’ve been handled differently.You mocked it and we lost this.Your orange is peeling.Your hair? I don’t have the word. Uncertainty, it’s killing me.This was a dream I dreamt up […]
What happens when the world skids?Why don’t they ever flip their lid?Has this moved on to come back or go on?Did you get that song?Has it been too long? Who’s in charge around here?Why don’t […]
Ok kid, big jump to the pool.I was about to put down something cool. Ok kid, I’ll get up and move.I was about to dive into my groove.Now I can’t remember, like it was Septemberand […]
Hey who ordered who?Was it me? Was it you?A table in Texas, I was so confused. Tucson, I left it behind me.Texas? Nowhere near on the way to Flag.Texas? Around five hours til I’m home.It’s […]
Said you say you’ll do things you don’t do.Said when I get to me, I will show you. Thought you left yourself and your old brilliant mind.Thought if I slowed down I’d get so left […]
Fly stops by, thinkin’ not sure why I did this.This man reeks of awful, nightmares, and vanilla. Fly swings in, thinkin’ he didn’t just say that…This man speaking’s awful, nightmares, and vanilla. Decaf cover of […]
I’d skate into a blizzard if it meant slowing down.Drive thru,just a blizzard,cool me off for a while. I’d swim onto a highway if it meant moving time.Shed thoughton the highway,bring me here for a […]
Four feet up a river, seeking out a spring.Gazing at the times that passedand what the future’d bring. Cobain sang, he was driving.Dirt road, beside him, she was trying to make a movie.Rock city rolled […]
Few miles from last known pavementStars, they tap the skyAsk it where the day wentThe sky asks why not why? This city sleeps while he writes about night.Silence breathes, takes in everything it needs.It said […]
Got up Friday, coffee and some blues.Morning found a way to listen to you. Rolled off the sheets, Beatles, toasted bread.A walk through the park, some outside instead. Took time to read about a guy […]

Afternoons spent painting days he wishes to see.Covering up madness, he thinks – We’re in what’s in movies.We get by, a whirl of free.Baits us, bites us, starts to sink. We’re in what’s in movies.She […]
Can’t stand to watch the news.Churns me that we’ve grown used to it.Less than fifty days away. Can’t understand what the problem is,common sense becomes uncommon.This whole place is up in flames. She was fighting […]
By the creek, I spent some time.By the creek, I left my mind. In my mind, I’m at the creek.In my mind, I pass by me. Drive to a walk to a fall down a […]
Why’d Ido that?Now it’severywhere. Wide eyed,saw that.What ifthey don’t care? I could do this forever.I do believe I was right.At times at least.At least we’re all still standing most of the time.I do believe we’re […]
Show whites, they’re the best.Gotta be warmer than the Midwest.Tell me, is it cold yet? It walked on, it crushed me.Doubt that feeling’s coming back again any time soon.Funny how something so far away can […]
Be nice to your brain,memory says you’ll need it. Prep smiles for your heart,serve it up what feeds it. Take the time to figure you out,this thing’s gotta get spinning again eventually.Will you be standing […]
Today I left to lounge a lake,the road read ‘Closed’, I slammed my brakes.A big ol’ breath and turn aroundand sing a song and flip a frown. Drove myself to find some rain,Prepped morning-start plans […]
I’ll feel the sun on my skinI’ll take a run at the skyand I’ll always stop to questionhow I never ask why. Somebody pushed pause and we’re all growing up.Paper in plastic in oceans, unread,believing […]
Uh oh, there that goeshiding in the wind again. Think so? I don’t know,why not try it all again? Something’s gonna work out sometime,I’ve seen it through my own squinted eyes,flying in the skyleaving no […]
Keep me here, where I hear nothing but peace.Where she’s in my heart,not on my mind all the time. Keep me here, where I hear only the trees.Where she walks back in,not on my calm […]
You ever push through?You ever get to the other side of you?You kinda wanna turn around because it’s better? You ever push pause?You ever try to find your way becauseyou’re not sure if, when, or […]
Clumsy cloud, you walked right into that lightning.Catching clowns who balk with all the fighting,what good did it ever do? Bitter bugs, he drove right out of that webbing.Under rugs he goes. Checkmate, check your […]
Strangers speaking solemn things,symptoms seeking to be free.They just wanna stay for now. Backwards, buildings stood so tall.Brushed off, broke down, the old sprawl.Easy to mistake that place. Handle and holes.Step up, no bottom.Just can’t […]
I lapped the lake that day,roamed around my head.It’s been a couple years by now,but I just heard what you said. Now I understand.I was a rubber band.Never snapping, stretched too faror flying from your […]
Minced outside, living in an oven.Scalding, never hear a sound,skip back to Good Lovin’. Fried inside, living like a parrot.Balanced, recycling their words.Would you like a carrot? He skips back, thinking there was truth in […]
Crooked, laughing, summer’s sunburnt smile.I’d like to melt with you againevery once in a while. Monastery on a mountain,where someone is selling the beans,ringing bells and playing videos for you and me.A trip out somewhere […]
‘Always have and always will’she wrote, then she rolled down the hill. They never ever say goodbye,just trust the glimmer in their eyes. She got up to get herself.Moved out there to see what else. […]
Feet walk miles til miles are feet.I don’t understand anybody I meet. Flat tires roll when land’s not flat.Backs can break and make comebacks. A statue tripped today but I bet it deserved it.Tragedy, comical […]
The reason I write.Why I don’t sleep at night.Tiptoes slowly in my headwhile I’m getting ready for bed. Empathy, what a devil right now.Keeps me up at night, til I scramble through the day.People pushing […]
Building books, or building blocks.Running shoes and walking socks.I am me, I disagree.Stuck inside, and outside’s free. Written word, there’s no return.Moment’s thought, not meant to burn.Smarter? She. Would you agree?Way out there, and not […]
Maybe time was make believe,I’ve heard things I’ll never see.Can’t say where the wind will blow,don’t think I will ever know. What if now is like back then?I’ve done things, but don’t know when.Can’t tell […]
All I want is peace of mindfind relaxed and leave the day behind for a while.The sun smiles lately, and I can’t stand it. The writing walked out with creative,lately I’ve had so much in […]

Listen when you make mistakes Tell you when to tap the brakes Life’s playground, show you the ropes I’ve felt the swings and all the nopes O Olivia, I can’t wait to really meet you […]
Goodnight, goodnight. I can see it in your eyes, they’re saying things that you have never said. You hide, you hide. Know you know I love your smile. It’s a highway sign singing almost home. […]
Banana. The yogurt. Some berries. Some good greens. A pebble. A blender, thinkin’ how’d I ever get here? Tomatoes. The garlic. Some some of. Some good love. A pebble. A blender, thinkin’ how’d I ever […]
Searched new chapters, wiped the mist. Flips my page, she gets my jist. Pushing things we thought we’d lift. Chain linked tubes, she caught my drift. I’m so far away these days, what about the […]
Pouring drinks for teenagers twice her age. Popping popcorn, whispers they don’t eat it right. Movie reels project lifetimes some will never see in an empty room, seated, slanted floor she wonders what she’ll be. […]
Time measured by song, distance is nothing but a sign. I remember running under that mountain, after that first one took off. Such resilient lives. I wonder what really happened. No more thinking for now. […]
Tragic that it takes a tragedy to teach us the lessons that we need. The state of the planet lately overwhelms me. Bad actors in an essential ring, on top of everything. Nothing trickles down […]
Slowly release this thing, feel what tension brings. Moving, I wind with shade past lakes someone made. The sun went down and my laughs came up. It’d been a while since I smiled. I’d forgotten […]
