Reading Aloud

Reading aloud
To each other
Reading allowed 
To each other

Intimacy shared
Iterate the literate
Chapter verse
Shaman nurse

These dog days
Drifting by
Contentment
You and I

Spilling words
Spilling worlds
On cushions
Under clouds

Reading aloud
Reading allowed

Ambition


Restless man
What are my goals?

It used to be
Survival.

But now
Since my revival

Survival's not enough

But goal setting
Is tough

Dare i dream
Of further
Freedoms?

Following my bliss
Will surely
Lead to this.

My life reset 
To teen

Before things
Intervened

Director  reset
The scene

Expunge all 
In between

where I've been
Who I've been
What I've seen

 What I've spent
What I resent
What I repent 

I'm bent, but
I'm not broken
New words
Need to be spoken

And every breath
Until my death

A thankful
Peaceful
Graceful
Grateful

Great full breath
To nourish and
Flourish the rest
Of this Restless,
Rusty, lusty,
Teenage, middle age
Turn the page
Ambition

Just because

You kissed me 
and touched me
Ever so gently
As i lay sleeping

Waking 
from my reverie 
To my reverie
It will always
Be alright
It will never be
Not alright

Perspective

We are neither
And yet we are both

I think she is an 
Indian Princess
She thinks I'm a
Rock star pirate

I think she is 
Gorgeous and
She thinks I am
Handsome

We both think 
the other is hot
And we both
Think the same
That we are not

The things we
Uncover
Through the 
eyes of a lover

When we see
Ourselves
In and through 
and with
each other's eyes
See through
Each other's disguise
Beyond the bridge
Of sighs
We've truly found
The prize
