Maybe happiness
Is just a moment
Brief
Before the next big thing
The next desire
The next goal
Maybe we are built
To corrupt ourselves
Nature’s folly
But I want to run
I want to stay
This town
Has rust
It’s high in the gut
I’ll show you this place
I don’t want to write a poem
That sounds like a poem
But I can tell you
I’m at peace
I feel safe
When I’m with you
(Written aug 21 2019 at 33)
I could never
Let you go
If I could ever love you
I could never
If I could ever…
And
I think we could make the change
And
I think we
Could live forever
And
If I could ever leave you with anything
Make your art
When you’re faced with the news
Keep your grit
When
You’ve got nothing to lose
Leave your mark
Because
This art
Strong enough
To carry the broken
This art
Even the losers are winners
This art
Carries us all
This art
Is your own voice
And the future is yours
As you create it
Make your mark
Make your art
And if I could ever love you
I think that I would love you
And I could never leave you

See you there!
And they told her
Love was supposed to hurt
And so she accepts the pain
And they told us we were made of star stuff
But then they showed us stars burning out …
And so she accepted the disappointment
And I wondered
If anyone ever told us …
If I ever told you
So I’m going to tell you
If she’s not having fun
If she’s not in to it
Then it’s not cool
But if you love her
And read her like Brail
Making poetry from the
Lines of her body
In the light
If you make a safe space for her
To open up
She will come undone
And she will burn with a fire
And a heat so high
It will fill all the hours
And
It will bring stars back to life
And you
You will be useless for anyone else
Because she will have you
body and soul…
But keep in mind
This Love is rare
And it has been said that only gods make love with a love like that
Lately
Her green eyes turned blue
She was tangled
Up in you
She changed herself
Tried to
Make herself just like you wanted
And you were supposed to make her safe
Be a safe space
But you wanted
Her to be like you wanted her to
And I poured her coffee
And everyone that meets her
Can’t help but fall in love with her
And her hair is still the same
And her tongue is still foul
And she still
Isn’t just like you wanted
You know
The first time
We entered space
And they looked back
On earth
Realized just how insignificant we really are
That’s what I felt
The day I saw you
Across the room
Everything else
Just faded
And her green eyes turned three shades of blue
And she’s tangled up in you
Love her her right
Love her true
Whether you know it or not
You’re insignificant
On your own
And she’s everything
Everything to you …
How do you write the blues
Mother Earth is blue
Her sky is green
Her heart is yellow
She has a rage
How much time does it take mother to grow up?
How much time mother before I am old?
Before my eyes turn black and my hair turns grey?
Mother Earth
She will kick the dust
She will throw her fists of rage
She is coming down the highway
Her breath like a train
On the mainline
How much time mother?
All the air in the sky is gone …
How much time
Before I become a man
And know what every man knows…
3 minutes or less…
