My ramblings....: March 2008

I say...

Every friendship lost is a broken heart for me
That I am distant from your memories
Feels like a losing situation all around

Today

The feeling of miniscule bubbles sliding up my spine
And around my ribcage
Racing upwards with the exhales

And recognizing distant voices
Are all

Little pleasures

Last night, in sleep, I kissed your cheek
And you couldn't finish your sentance

Stopping Time

My stomach doubles on itself as my mind trys to double think how you possibly make me feel this way
I try again not to lose you in dreams
Because when I forget myself and let my eyes rest on yours
I'm reminded of that saying "You'll stay that way forever if you hold your face like that"
This is the closest I've ever come to stopping time

Like

I like having you near by

Baby

You can't wait for the baby to be born

To whoever's mother
She is yours in 16 months

To a barren father
A day of miraculous conception

You're counting down the days of the growing
Inside and outside
With trees and birds and butterflies

Baby's coming

Hi...I'm in Delaware...

It's a day when the sun's vast reach claims it's hold on everything across the land
Nearly everything in sight is unabashedly lit
Except the backsides of buildings and underbellies of porches
Every tower and tree stands taller in the calling of light, solid against the empty blue sky
None are unaware of the sounds today

I am inside with a bottle of orange juice, hoping some life will seep into me through the speckled glass

Echoing David, Among The Many

There is no broken lapse in the undertow
Dragged under, rag doll

When I can't see the sun I feel for a moment as though I am forgotten, the dark of the deep drawing me near to it's poisened breast, speaking silent lullaby's of it's horrable conquest, the simplicity of death.

"Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise, I will protect them from those who malign them"

The deep releases, recoiling as one who has been so long without the light.
Even underneath I am seen by him
In the cold of the shadow he is there
Lift me up, as many have cried, on your wings
Hold me in your unfailing love

My ramblings....
