We always double back
you and I do
we always seem to
find some reason to
whether good or bad
we seem to be
the gum or paper
on the shoe bottom
stepped into maybe unseen
but always under foot
you say you do
I know that I
find you in places
you have never been
a mirage you appear
as though you should
be there with me
but you never are
so back we come
and away we go
me being the tide
and you the beach

Delectable
Why does it
seem that there’s
always just one
of someone else
that turns screws
that causes collapse
whether it’s control
or just laughter
and this single
thing is usually
that one thing
which brings chagrin
to the owner
perhaps it’s then
when our innocence
is most apparent
making us delectable
Marionette
It seems to me
that when one has
everything that one wants
there’s one small piece
that always remains missing
and this one small
thing while gone unnoticed
is that one small
thing which brings animation
to all the others
for without simply that
we are but marionettes
lacking our precious strings
LoveDoes
Experience boasts
I know
wisdom whispers
you do
as insight
simply waits
desire yearns
for freedom
sex screams
ohh yes
and love
well love
doesn’t ever
do anything
except prove
the others
are wrong
Knowing
One of the hardest
things you’ll ever decide
is what you want
Oh we know what
we always dream about
who we’ll be with
and where we’ll live
and how famous and
rich we will be
But those are dreams
What we want questions
often begin to surface
when what we have
is beginning to fall
short fade and crumble
A friend of mine
once suggested that rather
than trying to decide
what we want instead
admit what we don’t
just like when I
have struggled with the
notion that God is
everything which brings with
it lots of thinking
whereas thinking that God
is also nothing brings
with that idea peace
think less to know
