long list of why

a long list of why adrift on a river of reasons

there’s a long list of why i love you

i can see myself in all the people going places. i can see myself among the lost.

we only get a small piece of forever. i like sharing mine with you.

i am moving away. invisible bonds have broken, an orbit in decay. everything that seemed so grand in such a limited space will shrink until it fades away. and i will claim my rightful place out among the stars.

waited for your rain… all my life

when i was a little boy, my doctor put his stethoscope in my ears & held it to my chest. “you can hear your heart,” he said. yes! a magical “thump thump”! i was truly amazed. that was a long time ago, but i still listen to my heart these days…only now it has much more to say.

but it wasn’t just another day, as the page was turned by the spiraling wind. and i leveled my eyes on where i’d been, then out across the night to where i’m going. there’s a feeling you get that is stronger than knowing… when back to the start is farther away than the end.

so much ache drifts in the space between what i wish to say and what makes it to the page

some days are lost to the damage

i’ve said more with my heart than i could ever write

grief is love. memories and sadness over and over in different ways. pain over what’s been lost; memories that never got to be. sometimes I smile… remembering. sometimes sad, when I forget to remember you. but always there is love, because you are a part of me.

I’ve been waiting my whole life to be loved this way…by you.

the art of a dangerous imagination

i always hope you feel me when i whisper to the night that you will never be alone.

i feel you in my smile

choose your moments of weakness wisely

all my love will forever be yours

intimate midnight imprinted like a slow rolling thunder

I’m doing weird, thanks for asking

On a mountain road to self-destruction, you see a lot of things. Grand canyons of emptiness and monumental wreckage look so beautiful in the moonlight.
