Wanting what I cannot have
Distance too far
Daylight too short
Wishing each day
Hoping for a new tomorrow
That ache in the heart
Hoping to hear your voice
Less than a day away
More than a lifetime
Waiting
#longdistancerelationship
See it in you
In the mind there is little but consternation
Looking for that connotation
Knowing that connection
Lays somewhere between correction and creation
Just a few more steps to compilation
Stepping out to combustion
Need that soft eyed capitulation
Pull me under the cavitation
Don’t give in to convention
Give me a taste of your confection
I’ll be your perfect corruption

When the heart won’t let you sleep love
I’m that day to day love
That wake you up with a kiss and coffee love
That small things love
That singing songs made up on the spot love
That kiss the palm of your hand love
That working love
That note written in you pocket love
That gives you hope and goosebumps love
That long slow kisses love
That taking care of you fully aware you are strong enough to take care of yourself love
That willing to wait love
That soft gasp half heard over the phone love
That sleeping alone in his bed love
That hopeful broken love
That life spelled out in words love
That missing you love

Sleep’s ellusion
That first step
Getting into bed
So comfortable but
My mind draws me out instead
Won’t simply rest
Reminding me that sleep
Might as well be dead
But life has its moments
Those times when extreme comfort combine
With anxiety
Talking about having to go to work
To interact
And my brain
Instead of the sleep I know will help
Instead throws out these things like reading
Like playing games
Like taking apart my fan to clean the motor
All to keep the anxiety at bay
Worst coping mechanism
It causes me harm to follow its prescribed treatment
So why am I still awake
Instead of drifting
Can’t sleep when tomorrows just a few hours
I miss the days when I knew that by waking up and going to work I’d be with someone I loved
Not because I miss the relationship
But that balm of sleeping, in a rush to get to the next day
I miss that
Instead
I have tomorrow
Another day without succor
Another day without you

A dream, a hope, a life, a lie
Fingertips trace lines
Nerve endings echo with the memory
No burning
No bonfire
Lines drawn in skin
In promise
Our hearts
Nuclear fire
The cool etching
A dalliance of forever
No mere moment enough
No mere forever too much
Bound in deeds
No debt but to ourselves
Come take my hand
Let mortal concern
Be but wind
And let lips meet
In becoming
Two into one

Common day laments
Sleeping in the cold
Nesting blankets keeps me warm
Wishing you were here
Share this:
The mundanity of desire
Storm clouds ponderous
Feel of warm bath envelop
Long to share with you
Share this:
Feeling the blood in veins; they say it’s impossible
Missing everything good
Life just keeps rolling by
And each step
Not getting any closer
Missing that energy
Happy to be out
Happy to be
Waiting for it all to come together
Waiting for that chance
So far from what is wanted
Rail against the system
It’s easier to shout
About things that are so intractable
Than to face the challenges
Which seem immovable
So close to home

Lyrics for the lonely
I’m a simple blank page
Wrapped up in a cage
Living the last vestige
One minute from bliss
One lifetime from kiss
Slouching south
Deep in the cringe
Used to live for the sin
Whip hand sang
Stropped leather on flesh
Wanting it all again
Instead I’m here
Languishing between
Waiting to begin
Fly to me
I yearn to start
Pelgris
