Always In Mind pt.I

keeping my distance-
watching kite strings
caught in the fickle breeze-
watching the thin brown twine
do a ballet across gray skies-
with you in mind
with you always in mind-
dancing with me always.

There's A God In Heaven. He's Watching me Squirm

Don't be far tonight,
Or I swear I'll let the smoke swallow me
In deep controlled breaths,
You're cunning and clever, and soon to leave me
Looking after the sky,
But it doesn't matter-
Not while I lay on the hood of this car or any other,
Not tonight
Or any other night,
I exist only now, not forever,
You are true I am absent,
And when you come again to find me
You'll find me;
Just another fish in the brook-
Swimming against the stream.

Because I'm Tired I Look For A Reason

i can't sleep again
and though the night is almost spent-
i don't care
i'm done trying to make myself happy
i thought i should let you know
END

How Does It End?

tonight i could smoke a cigarette
to make my breath stale and unbecoming
and i could leave that taste on my tongue
but i will not drown as a faded man
or a dreamer asking; what's next?
i could write a poem and share another idea
but no ending is tragic enough
i wish i could write the ending myself
and bleed words of forever from my lips
but i won't
somehow, everything will be alright
i thought i should let you know
END
