Counting Sheep

Lying there trying to fall asleep
Counting all my sin like marching sheep
Jumping over fences my mind holds
Fences that would stand if they had souls
I did not stop that morbid flock
I let those sheep fill up my head
I did not block a single rock
I let them bury me instead
I’ve seen the sun but my eyes shun
The brilliance of your face so fair
If words can heal then let’s be real
I need to hear you say you’re there
I fed them deep dark secrets that I had
Told myself it couldn’t be that bad
After all, it was modeled to me
Who can fight nature’s generosity?
Guilty volcanoes churn
Send molten anguish upward
If I swallow it
Will my wrongs acquit?

Story of Rain

You know up in the clouds
There’s more to think about
Than rain in mother’s shoes.
Stories gather in
Too old to pretend.
They’re as thick as pea soup.
The droplets are incubating
Sounds of our cries
They’ll fall from the clouds
And wash out saving face and lies
The poison in our roots
was leaked from the boots
Of one thousand trampling men.
It traveled to or hearts
Where the gasping started.
Will we live again?
The water in our leaves
Transpired with our grief
¡Alors!
Seeds of good are condensating

Fervid

We are the sunset, my love
Steady horizon is what you’re made of
And I’m the sunlight burning
Happy destruction churning
And we
We’ll be together
Our hearts are tethered by forces stronger
Than clouds
May hide our colors
But they’re just covered
Gravity is fervid
And as the sun sinks lower
As we move closer
The sky
Between us shines with ever changing hue
And as
The chroma fluctuates our hearts traversing
The bending
Of light here
Our blending
Is so near
And when your glaciers hold you
Sandpaper mold you
My rays enfold you
And when the blue lights blinds me
You
Tilt closer, refraction finds me

Gone

Poppies swayin’ in the field
Say you’re gone, it ain’t real
Sun is shining bright as day
But right now it’s pouring rain
Luminescence through the trees
Spikes shoot upwards void of leaves
Beauty was calling out to me
If I tried to get there it would be
Gone, gone, gone, gone
All the wise are speaking but don’t know what to say
All the good intentions can’t take this away
This all feels too much for me
So I guess it’s grit my teeth
Or live dying with no grave
Arms and legs now just behave
(Don’t say a word...)
Heart crawling out of my chest
Too much ache, you knew best
Hear you calling
Far away I can’t
Stay crawling out of my chest
Too much ache you knew best
Hear you calling
