Round and round,
The pull makes me dizzy.
I circle you,
To the best of my ability.
A fluent jargon,
Tossing my sacrilege.
The newest sunrise,
Counting my mileage.
And I dote on you,
You just say and I move in.
A labyrinth of sorts,
A prayer to almighty God.
An echo of time,
My heart will lie here and rot.
Can you come
To an exciting conclusion?
Can you pick out
A sordid revolution?
The end of this
Is near, and so,
I am just
A measly no-no.
Naked
Exposed
Unwanted touching
Lost
Confused
Violated
Neglected
Overwhelmed
Abandoned
Why?
I want to get closer,
But I’m afraid.
I want to pray,
But I’m not sure
Who I’m praying to.
So many different images
In my mind,
Competing for my
Attention.
Who are you,
And what do you
Want from me?
Can I trust you?
I look at all
The imperfect people
In my life,
And I struggle
To understand
Words like
Perfection,
Love,
Righteousness,
Holiness,
Sanctification,
Charity,
Divinity…
The list goes
On and on.
Can you tell me:
What is true,
And
What is a lie?
I’m lost.
Shine on, seeker.
Bundle your doubts,
Prepare for the journey.
You may find,
In a reflecting pool beside the road,
Something of a hint of truth.
Be not convinced so easily!
You have much to experience
Before you are justified
In making up your mind about anything!
Take these truths,
And put them somewhere safe,
So you can return to them later.
Leg tank water toilet pipes walls leak puddle floor
Cake candles party wish ice cream presents cards
Lawn heat sweat dirt dust humidity work trees
Coffee warmth sweetness cream stir decaf spoon
Pets soft fur hair everywhere pat head scratch
Space inside your mind, take a ride.
Face of planes collide.
Do a deed, concede that you bleed.
Jump on in, don’t worry about sin,
Or anything else, you, yourself
Can put your cares on the shelf.
Just follow the goodness
In your heart, learn the lesson
Prepared so carefully by your friend.
Bored, sitting, petting animals, resting sore back.
Lidocaine patch doing its job, trying not to strain.
Leaving town on airplane in under a week.
Got to follow-up with worker’s comp doctor,
Who will hopefully release me to travel.
Many pets,
A carousel.
A zoo, of sorts.
Never enough,
More than enough.
Too many, really.
Allergies abound,
And hair covers the floor,
Everywhere.
Is there no end
To this animal fling?
Caring is loving,
Nurturing like a baby.
Hold me.
Hold my hand,
As we walk down the sidewalk.
Carry me,
When I get tired.
Rock me to sleep.
Sleeping is knowing
That I’m okay,
Nothing will hurt me,
I’m in your arms,
And I trust you
With my life.
Pretend happy pixie dream fly across Neverland
Lost boys throw a tantrum in a football game
Parents locked them out and told them to go play
It’s my ball and I’ll cry if I want to and go home
Play the game! Play the game! Just do it.
Stumbling along the sidewalk
