Waiting for paint to dry is the worst….
what im up to lately
I haven’t been coming here to write lately because I have been painting and photographing up a storm. but I still have the itch to write so I will be back soon. below is a photo I took at the end of last summer. I had to put a copyright— that’s what the darker block and initials are for………. I call it a suburbia sunset.

the unknown
Trouble
Sees me
Through the clear
Distance
As I lay back
Over the cliff
Of unknown
Praying through
Languages of time
Seams breaking
I fall
Into your arms
Don’t ask me for
More than I can give
More than I have
More than I am
More than the sky
More than the rain
More than the night
Can swallow a tear
More than your eyes
Could cause my fears
I love you more
Than
Me
breaking
Come back to me
I cried into the night
Darkest as dark
The clouds settling over
My mind and soul
Alone
Again
Crying silent tears
Growing cold
As rain fell harder
I looked down
To see you
Standing in front
Of another heart
Eyes darting back and forth
Me to her
But to your dismay
In my clouds I turned
And walked away
Free
Eager Eyes
He saw her there alone, celestial and shining eternal.
In the light of a thousand people she stood in the thriving.
He quietly cried to himself accepting that he could never touch her.
The longing and the loneliness forever expanding across his vision he turned away from himself and his emotions. Leaving, he heard the din of life softly fading behind him to a never ending sea.
He walked with his head down in the shadows. Footsteps leaving an unseen path of breadcrumbs for her on the cold pavement bathed in lamp and an evening rain.
Through the night he wondered aimlessly through the world waiting for a moment, a passing moment to a thought of her face shining down on him from her heaven. The faintest of smiles washed over him as warmth wrapped its fingers slowly around his body.
He closed his eyes and forgave her for leaving him to his thoughts.
Bliss.
If she only knew.
The breath of a whisper— rain tempering leaves—memories passed him by in storm.
He stood letting her fall over his hair, body, and finally down his clothes to his bones.
Soft echoes wafted over him as the perfume of cars went by.
A quiet peace.
Undisturbed by noise.
Only knowing warmth.
She had found him again.
eager eyes #1
She wept to her soul saying there would never be another.As he stood by waiting for her to appear through the fog of sunrise she knew it would never be again. She screamed to her loneliness. Slowly quieting her will to live, Nothing answered her back. And then his eyes were on her. The cold permeating her senses as a blanket slowly closing her eyes to the light. Looking up at the dark heavens she realized he wasn’t far. Always close to her.
She forgave him for leaving her.
A quiet peace.
She shone over the crowd breaking through the mists of thought. She was there, brighter to brightest in all the glory given her. Reverence was optimism. Forgetting what she couldn’t do today she lived.
She had seen the bleakness of another night and it had turned her away. Never seeing its face she smiled to herself wanting more of what she could never feel cross over her body.
Soon.
She cast shadows on the blinking crowd around her. Further and further she went into the sky. Loneliness again grasped her as she was forced to ascend —her surroundings blinded, turned away.
Crying she thought she saw a shadow of him. Haze formed. She felt weary as time dragged her forward. Time moved her to fade.
