(more)

I love you more (oh beautiful creation), more than any one on this earth does. And more than any one who breathes through out their salty lungs. Or who doesn't. I love you more (oh beautiful creation) than anything in the sky, flame, or ocean. For my dear, it surely flies higher than the eagles, burns brighter than the ashes, and longs deeper than the darkest waters. I love you louder than the thunder and sharper than the sharks tooth. I welcome you. Such saddness, my dear, that I love you more. Than you love me.

My yellow bird sings.

Sunday, July 5, 2009

This was it.


I can see a lot of life in you. I can see a lot of bright in you.

It is where
laughing and smiling and exist
where sparkling water can be seen
for miles
where you and i talk for hours
it is where we explored
and found the forbidden
we dove into the water as free fish
and came up with hooks
never to be removed
it was where
it started



...When the world looks back. When the face looks after that..




Poison Oak- Bright Eyes

"When the telephone was a tin can on a string. And i fell
asleep with you still talking to me.
You said you weren't afraid to die.
I don't think I ever loved you more
than when you turned away
and when you slammed the door
You stole the car
and drove towards Mexico. I was young
and I still believed in war.


And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out
here
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
I never thought this life was possible.
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for."

Poison Oak- Bright Eyes

--
you are the atom of my creation
this is the atom of all creation
you are the single atom that composes
all that i think of
i do not need you
how are your atoms inside of my skin
and flesh
please leave them there

wish you were here.

I can't quite make sense
of why the winter wind sings song of us
or why the darkest nights breathe
our air
can not the seasons tell
that summer has been long gone?
in quiet affliction you search for something
to occupy your mind
besides the tune of me
i burrow in blankets
sigh, roll over, sit up. because
in this moment i have become complacent
in knowing that grief is honest
your beauty is violence
and your roar is too loud
perhaps we have become but nothing
was it compromise
or was it fate
my heart is like a little house burning
with no love to put the fire out
perhaps we have become
but nothing
but certainly we were
once everything

lets all throw out time and live without it.

i suppose we both knew nothing lasts forever
this was too good to be true
it was getting colder outside
and the path we walked
when the breeze was warm
was now covered in snow
our days weren't infinite
and the clock didn't stop
no matter how much we asked
it to. the seconds kept ticking.
and the little moments of simple contentment would fade
we knew it just as we knew about death
we knew it to be there
always
but we didn't think it would happen so soon
we thought we'd be smarter
well-prepared
more mature
less naive
but time has a mind
it chose to happen
sooner than we thought
i wasn't ready for us to end
but time and you were against me
we had eternity planned
i had eternity planned
it turns out eternity is six months and one day

When I was 10.



They told us
back in grade 3
"Shoot for the moon, and if you miss,
you'll land among the stars"
They didn't tell us
Stars burn
Fast and bright
the moon remains
a steadfast sight
of what they aren't
of what they dream
that they seem
aim high
they said
just try
they said
but what about loss
it's something they can't teach you in grade 3
it's something that you must learn
eventually,
the moon is mocking me

promises

I don't know where I stand with you, but I'll stand anywhere you want me to.
I don't know what you need, but I'll be what you have. I don't know much about you anymore, but I know who you are. And this shall be interminably.
I don't know where you are going, but I know I am willing to come.
I thought I had an honest grip on things, but I opened the box full of letters under my bed and smelled your smell. Than I fell down hard.
Please do not say you love me before you turn your back and run further away.
Please do not mutter full and empty words underneath your breath as though I mean anything.
Please do not yell them either.
Do not bury yourself deeper in the mud of concrete supposition that I am fighting to free you from.
Perhaps you think I could forget the regretful apologies I have received, but those promises were promised so very long ago.
No, I have not forgotten the good that was done. But as much as I try to forget, I still remember the things that you have undoubtedly kept forgetting.
Infatuation eats me to rust but I search for healing. I suppose I believe you treasure me deep inside. I suppose I am not lying to myself when I say that you care.
But I also wonder if I am being completely honest.
To love somebody is a lot different when you are their nobody.
I don't know where I stand with you, but I'll stand wherever you want me to.
I have a bleeding heart. and it loves you.

Here I am. Once Again.


Here I am, Once Again?
I know nothing stays the same...but if you're willing to play the game, it's coming around again. So I don't mind if I fall apart. There's more room in a broken heart. And I believe in love, but what else could I possibly do, I'm so in love with you.
You must not know my name.The purpose of this blog is to document. "I am not a writer. I am not a poet. I am not profound. My words have no substantive value. But I am aware." I have lessons that have been learned and days that have been lived. I am not old. I am not young. I am not naive. I am not wise and I am not unsure. I know what I desire. I know what I desire is not within reach. I know this is alright.
I am not afraid to die. I have lived my life thus far and am not scared of those who can bring merely my flesh to death. Although I respect living, it is this that becomes more difficult than dying. Who says they will die for me? I laugh at them. In mind not body. When somebody lives for me than she shall truly be willing to die for me. Who would I die for? You might find out. But I truly would not die for you unless I am living for you. This seems only right in this mind of mine. And this is the assumptions that I have accumulated over my lifetime.
I have learned many things. I have seen hope, trust, and death. I have been lost. I have been alone all the while being with. I have made tree forts and cookies. I have had shopping cart races and hospital visits. I've worn friendship bracelet's and than I've misplaced them. I've danced all night and snuck out late. I've drank my coffee, my tea, and my beer. I've shared my newest toys, watched the stars, and even made a friend. I've fallen off the trampoline and I've driven just to drive. I've basically seen the world through my eyes that guide me. I've learned a lot, but still can't quite see, why nothing ever happens that makes sense to me. Soon I will learn this.
