I stand on the shore and watch

Wait

Through the deafening silence

As you guide your sails

Away from me

And the rock 

Which would have broken you

Autumn touches the ground

Winter is calling

Fall is falling… down

Plant those rose buds
Under the paving slabs
We'll come back
For them later.
After the calm
Before the big storm
When the blue skies
Start their decline.
Before the heavens cry
And the fat lady voices
Her final ballad.
We'll go back for those
Hidden rose buds.
And watch as they
Climb

I listen to the ukulele

Calling my name from far away

Come home it says

Come home.

And the waves of the pacific

Crash inside my heart

marry you. Or hold you. Or fuck you. Maybe
all of those things.

The raging sea...
All the force of fluidity
to what all the calm wet roads lead...
Rome unconquerable to swords of greed...
To it  inclines a pilgrim of faithless disbelief
who seeks to sail with it in his content grief.

From east to west
from north to south - bound...
Rain of

So you bare no warmth or heat in presents of me brother

You prefer casting cold fish from the bottom depth of the glades

Fervor is not your friend but dismay toward the writers

I played it off.

I giggled like I was five.

I simply said "I want to tell you something but don't think I should.'

He answered with pleas of tell him.

 He asked as his naked body rolled away from me.

Offering me to whisper it in his ear.

"I can't. If I tell you

Rising above the champion’s song

Where heart and eyes meet in lust

Tears within truth release in us
