DenverSummer

I adore summer days 
especially in the high
desert of Denver where
the sun is hot
the breeze cool and
the leaves in the
trees sing in whispers
as though they’re afraid
of awakening God Himself
There’s something about summer
which rejuvenates me and
more importantly my soul
the colors are brighter
the clothes are looser
the smiles are warmer
and the kisses well
the kisses last longer
longer and longer still

Possibilities

The sun kisses me 
with possibilities it warms
my darkest corners and
the wind carries with
it my love affection
and care like elm
paratroopers spinning spinning round
and landing somewhere new
I live for love
for hope and how
to remain in the
sun basking in the
idea of happiness found

HappyParable

I once knew someone 
who was convinced that
his soul had been
saved from eternal damnation
by making this pact
with the overlord of
darkness You must make
everyone else that you
ever will meet happy
knowing that whatever you
do or they do
for you you shall
never enjoy the same
What’s the difference then
between your hell and
what you’re offering me
Because what I’m offering
you you’ve already lived
which brought you here
Does this sound familiar

JustMeWithMe

For the first time 
in forever for the
first time in ever
for the very first
time at all whatsoever
I dragged myself out
of bed and hurried
outside to see the
sunrise over the plains
sitting here alone just
me my cigar my
jazz and my self
content in knowing that
whosoever should witness this
will either think me
crazy or lonely or
even romantic preferring alone
to being with others
this Rocky Mountain morning

BeingAnything

Being anything with yourself 
is harder than being
anything with anyone else
Let’s start with forgiveness
forgiving others is easy
we all do it
all of the time
But when was the
last time that you
forgave yourself or let’s
try selfishness we all
have been selfish with
others but when was
the last time you
allowed yourself to be
selfish with you being
almost anything with yourself
is in fact the
cornerstone of your happiness
No not your happiness
with others but only
your happiness with yourself
