About Me
I think we're all a little nuts in our own way. With life and the human condition at odds,how could we not be? I think the key to happiness is surrounding yourself with people who are "your kind of crazy". I also believe you have to "make it great".

must escape-
the nothingness;
fields for miles
and governing eye
of the family
hopeful…

need more-
than corn-fed kisses
promises made
whispered in barns
caging my possibilities
determined…

so I left for a really long time.
I saw everything stretched out before me.
I went many places and learned alot about myself.
I caught up with a few of my dreams.
I made friendships with many kinds of people
and grew from every one.
I moved around…
a LOT.

still, this incredible longing…

only now to find
that I miss the stillness
and the comforts
and the confrontations
of the closeness
and the loved ones
in my quiet Midwest town

the experience,
and the process-
a divine epiphany…
this is progression
my personal evolution
in motion

my journey
has lead
full circle
and I am finally
going home

baggy pants and a worn out coat
shuffled in the street before me
at the cross walk tonight
stagger-stepped
and cheap wine romanced
looking alone in the world
on a cold night

and I wondered
who he was
before he was reduced
to this
and I prayed his coat
would get him
through the winter

will I ever make it to Rome?

is it skin you want?
I love you
like it holds
my bones together
and would give it all
for just a whisper
of your love

was I ever realistic?
or just skilled
at making you wish
that you wanted me
as much as you
said you did

you glided in
without hands
and made the
narrow landing
through the one crack left
that let someone in

now my chest
is just for pumping
stale remorse
and hardening
every day
you are not here

I am tired
of being
the step stool
on people's way
to becoming
their better selves

for once
I want
the ribbons
blue
and wrapping
up real love

It's a gray sky damp fall day. It's chilly and lonely outside- just how I like it. This is my favorite time of the year. All the colors, all the melancholy that seems to come with this season for me- I don't know why, but I seem to feel more alive than usual during this time of year.

Work? Pure hell. Family life? Stressful as usual. My general outlook on life despite those things? Increasingly more encouraged. Getting the feeling that something "big" and good is about to happen again. Every time I get this feeling, it always does end up happening. What? Not sure yet, but something is coming. Maybe I manifest the event because I "need" a change...and I subconsciously set the wheels in motion that lead to it coming to fruition. Does it really matter how or why? Something good is about to happen either way and I'm excited about it. Not knowing what it is yet is sorta fun too because of all the possibilities. Could be anything!

Heading to NY this weekend for some much needed alone time and down time to regroup and let go of some of the built up stress. It's starting to impact me physically and that's just not cutting it at my age. I'm too young for this shit. So, a trip, doing what I want to do all weekend- as opposed to what everyone else wants me to do...ah. Hanging in the park and enjoying the fall colors, shopping in China town...chowing on some classic NY pizza and Jamaican Beef Patties...walking in the most phenominal city in the US and taking it all in- the sounds, the chaos of all that is going on...I look forward to getting lost in the crowd.

Enough ramblings. I'd like to post a poem but I haven't written anything new. Maybe I will this weekend. I know nobody's holding their breath. heh. Anyway, that's about it. Take it easy.

where the nights lay silent
of sugared dreams
and emptiness
is your bed companion

and even longing sleeps
while you sit awake
too tired to wonder why

the ice is forming
on windshields and hearts
and morning is your enemy

tired eyes form dark circles
running around for hours
in your mind

only air from the open window
brushes across the pillow
that lies beside you

and you fight to remember love
in hopes you’ll taste
passion on your lips again

go to sleep, my friend
and rest
the world is full of you

this is not your life
this is just something
you’re going through

this is just something I’m going through…

empty barreled
and holstered
on my hips
you shoot me
to the stars

you put stars in my eyes...

gray and blue

I am hung up
in the complete
and total agony
of indifference

wishing to God
it mattered enough
to care more
either way

and still,
I don't-
God knows
I have tried

to muster up
some level
of decisiveness
but am still

stagnated instead
by the fear
of loss
in both directions

______________________________

what it means to love you

what it means to love you:

you are a snow storm
amidst the summer heat
and it doesn't even matter
that nothing makes sense

caught
in between reason
and desiring something
worthy of the distance,
I fumble across you

searching
for a little bit
more of myself
without reservation

memories are not enough
to catch my breath
one inhale-
two exhales

still, I take you
in to in my lungs
like steriod therapy
to build their strength

and long after it is over
your remnants
still settle
at the bottom

why would I want it
any other way-
you are addictive
self sadistic

and I fear
you fear loss
so much you won't
take chances on yourself

beautifully confused
you draw me in
like I am the last drag
of the last smoke

you will ever
bring to your lips
then hold me in
avoiding the inevitable exhale...

_______________________
Finally, a poem I wrote a couple years ago...to celebrate the season at hand.

Losing It

driving in my car
taking life in
bite-size to go
pieces
bone cold now
for the next
four months at least

all of our falls
raked away and
stored safely in
black drawstrings
alongside the unsavored
Thanksgiving scraps
never more to be seen

if only I could let go
of their echo (the falls)
thirty bark bare
trees line the
already frozen
chuck holed street
and

I am shocked to see
one insolent Maple
bearing
near full foliage defiance
with bright yellow
creeping through
the frost

I mean a full
head of hair
not receding
one leaf to
season's age
how is that possible?

I've driven by it
every day for
two weeks
expecting to see
the change
but it remains
unshaken

today, I am not
the tree
I've faced the cold
and weathered it
with less grace
losing parts of me
that cannot rejuvenate
in Spring

lucky bastard, tree

keep up with the fundamentals
and eventually
you will
always find your way

love freely
have faith-
in something anyway

show grace
and grant forgiveness...
share your gifts with others

give in to your greatest self
and watch the world
light up
around you

~expectations~

it is seldom as good as we anticipated
as we sit on the edge
banking on something amazing
awaiting the ideal

I’m not sour grapes
but I’ve gotten enough
doses of reality
to temper the dreamer in me

but there are moments…
sweet elation-
there are times when reality
far exceeds expectation

and as I think of you
I remember such a time
and I realize that sometimes our ideal
is so far from what we thought

Not sure if anyone will ever read this or not. Either way is cool. Nice to have a forum to share your voice with the world, without having to worry too much that someone might actually be listening.

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to kick back, put your feet up and get cozy.

Come back any time.

Life is full of possibilities and the thrill of the unknown is so great.

let the day treat you well today.
