Patience is the difference 
between success and failure
oftentimes it’s the gap
between quitting and triumph
it’s the place of
promise and the wayside
of hope patience keeps
the sputtering stalling
dream alive and airborne
patience calms excitement down
gives pause and respite
to anxious reactions patience
fills the pockets on
one side of the
courageous whilst trust fills
the other balancing them

Desire

I’m not exactly sure 
which comes first the
shiver or the touch
for a shiver only
occurs when the touch
is desired oh sure
goosebumps occur after but
the hope sets up
the touch just like
the listening sets up
the joke and hunger
sets up the eating
shivers happen after desire

Happy

And then just when 
when I thought never
never again will I
I ever meet someone
someone came into my
my life and made
made my life different
different and better so
I let him and
and I was happy
happy again happy happy

I think that what 
I’m trying to say
is that why should
I anymore having tried
before I sit and
wonder if trying is
even worth the pain
of yet another disappointment
yet another failed expectation
just one more L
in the loss column
that maybe I should
get used to this
because this is better
than any more losses

PostNight

Low clouds hang over 
the foothills of the
front range looking like
turtlenecks for peaks behind
peeking like shy Geisha
girls from behind fans
last nights storm clouds
hang low like the
halos of the angels
damned to eternal hell
