Reflective me
I drop a penny into a fountain
Amongst the zinc and coated copper
of a thousand other wishes once sent
And with rippling between
I look up at you now
Asking "what year it is"
And if you can still see me
Because noone else has ever wandered
down these streets this far
Am I now found
?
Self and control
Seeking change through a doorway
Is far less consistent
And far more infuriating
Than finding betterment in a mirror
You can only control
That which in the end you are
Two sets of eyes looking up
Call me by no other name
No secret left
After so many years unkept
Whispers of a distant star
With warmth more near
Than ever was in our origin far
Breathe in, breathe out
Share all that which rolls
Beneath the sea in turning channels
Pull me in to this natures embrace
And grow with me so strong in root
That we will take hold in our place
And by no other name be told
Other than us
Pronounced and underlined in bold
No secret left my distant star
Together we burn old
Saria
Sleep is not free
Count on me to confuse this
My relationship with time knows not
Our status undisclosed as is
Our experiences with betrayals wrought
Sleep is not free
Just as work is not freedom
And yet these sort of bonds always seem
To fit so well overtop of this self aware hyperstructured and yet obsessive consciousness within me
Faith is the only true peace
A love on many levels
Someday I'll pour
all expression into you
Every dream I ever dreamed
every wish I ever hoped upon embued
And you will know with every fiber
of every being of which we share
That the drink is deep as day is long
and that before I knew you I cared
This is how I love
Alive
Saria
Distance to pass
Today I might be far
And tomorrow at end the same
No distance keeps two minds apart
No heart will forever have cause to complain
As weeks and months turn into years
No time or weather stays ever the same
So dont hurry towards eternity for
Each day is but a day
Saria, kinda
Kindness is a tanka
Kind is valued like
A tree midst winters storm blown
You don't need it till
The heat of summer falls down
And you wish for leaves above
Simply cannot go back to simple
Simple should never be a wish
Of any man or woman having left
The complexities of another mind
Instead
The simplicity of the initial
Infactustion of mind
Will only serve to prove what is past
Less never lasts
When you've had more between your ears
Or so I find
Light shift perspective
Lights shine
And light casts down and shadows out
Rain falls and fall falls all around
Until down
Here I quest to surround
And build myself out of
The things I do not hate
And never could
These lights are the same no more
Thinkers and the un
Staring into oblivion
Is neither night sky nor a fire
No burning in such a head to be found
Nor bright light of illuminating desire
Instead slow and steady
As a sunrise and sunset of this
And he could be your cardinal wish
With the ocean crashing sounds which are his
If you desire such noise
Heart sparks and wandering mind
It seems only natural
That when the tinder catches
And your heart would come alive
Your mind would lose itself
Heaven forbid
Just for once they are a two
In ...................
Align
Obsessive me
Roll a red ball at my feet
I'll pick it up unfailingly
Because I'm always down to play
When you roll a thought out and my way
I cannot help
But forever play
Amend me from my natural ways
Please
A warm breath for two
These other writers merely write with tongue
They lick and lay spit in your ears
Without even the pretense of a song
Warm as breath
Dry as cloudless sky
I breathe a word into two or three lines
And into your lungs from mine
Share a breath with me?
Once again
Saria
Bloodrush memory, a tanka
A simple thought of
About your lips near and now
Is all that I need
To go off every handle
In the department of blood
Aims
A man can aim in this world all he wants
Quit, fail, succeed, and cross
He can run, and run
He can grow, pretend to change
And even become his own boss
But the need grows on
In the heart of the empty
Between the cracks of unknowing
Where the weeds always grow
His desire itself
Can become the eaters to eat
And his stomach no longer
To be filled even once, because
A man can aim in this world all he wants
Grow sideways
I try
Not to age
But to grow sideways instead
To bring new life and being and light resonance
Into my ever heavy head
Creating shade and spreading out
Releasing all once worry and all the ounces of doubt
And to rest like tomorrow will be everest
Because in such an unforseen test you might just find out
Grow sideways my friend
