I awoke so happy
Like my twelfth birthday
When the perfect cake
Was placed before me
And the lit candles
Harbingers of my wishes
Eyes closed and blowing
Would certainly come true
That’s how I felt
Today knowing they had
I awoke so happy
Like my twelfth birthday
When the perfect cake
Was placed before me
And the lit candles
Harbingers of my wishes
Eyes closed and blowing
Would certainly come true
That’s how I felt
Today knowing they had
You know that moment
When you just know
That gurgle those butterflies
You know but don’t
And you hesitate right
Before what is it
That makes you go
A kiss is nothing
More than monkey bars
At once on top
With no down below
Beneath just you and
There and then then
I saw you last
Night again last night
Not really met you
But certainly saw you
Sitting across from me
Just sitting here talking
And somewhere between work
And life between cereal
And juice it happened
The normal cadence of
Things when two things
Only know one thing
And that thing happens
I will meet you
One day until then
What is the pain
Called that is silent
Is it the wind
The wind moves along
Lonely and by itself
Having been one place
And then another bumping
Into things changing some
Making no difference to
Itself
The only voice that
I hear now is
My own bouncing off
Of the empty walls
Of my heart empty
That is except for
Etched scrawls reminding me
Who was here before
