WRINKLED
Soak me in this
Soak me in this light.
I want to come out of this love
as crinkled as a raison
just absolutely drenched.
That is all.

ode to a sailboat
Every time
I stand on the shore
And see you
Sailing
I falter a little
Wanting to make
A mad dash
For the binoculars
In my purse
Or into the waves
To catch you
But
Instead I
Reach slowly
And in awe
Raise the spectacles to my face
Giving a moment
Of sacredness,
Or angst
To the deepest
Most real
Temptation I have
To swim out to you
Or drown trying
Cause a moment is all
I can afford right now
To dance to your rhythm in the wind
You are
Just a white
Sailboat
Crossing the blue
Rocking and coasting alone
But
If you longed for me
Like I long to be with you…
You would be for me like
Home
Watching you go
Is like watching my
Own soul
Humming sweet tunes and
Basking in peace
Crossing every wave of pain with
Bliss as the wind in my sails
I know that we are
Awfully connected
At our cores
And I’m certain
Things would be
Better then,
If I were sailing instead of
Here, but
You are simply
Too far away
To be more than
A
Very
Very
Distant
Lovely
Dream
I stand on the shore
And see you
Sailing
I falter a little
Wanting to make
A mad dash
For the binoculars
In my purse
Or into the waves
To catch you
But

Reach slowly
And in awe
Raise the spectacles to my face
Giving a moment
Of sacredness,
Or angst

To swim out to you
Or drown trying
Cause a moment is all

Dream
the crazies
Oh,
You know!
The feeling when
You’d rather die
Than sit still
So, of course
You must begin
Grabbing everything in sight
You dash around
The house
And the yard
Spinning
It is so glorious
Starting this sort of riot
And you giggle
Because you’re becoming delirious
And you don’t mind at all
But then
You crash!
And fade…
And consider hiding your face in
Your hands
Or falling down and just
Forgetting to
Pick yourself back up
Yah you swear you’re the
Most lonesome you’ve
Ever been
And certainly
Far far more
Desperate than usual
Because you’re becoming blue
That’s just how the crazies work
And you don’t mind at all
You know!

Lovely, I dare you
to allow yourself to be drenched
in the next rainfall
for,
as the rain falls
atop your head
it’s like spring cleaning
yourself out, vigorously
inside
as it exposes to you
a budding freshness you think you’ve tasted before…
I don’t know if you’ve ever disguised
your happy tears as raindrops.
On any given day
it can hit you and
make heavy your load
for,
as the rain falls
atop your head
it weighs
your newly dampened clothes
down
as it exposes to you,
your own vulnerability
I don’t know if you’ve ever wondered
if the world was crying as it rained.
Yet there is another side to
everything, and this downpour
is no exception:
for,
as the rain falls
atop your head
maybe you tap your toes
and lift your face
up
as it exposes to you,
the bliss reigning within you
I don’t know if you’ve ever had somebody’s
hand to hold and dance with as it rained.
Go outside into it
Preferably barefoot
Wink at the door on your way out
for,
as the rain falls
atop your head
realize that it’s okay
to bask in it
outside
as it exposes to you,
being human is all about this feeling!
I don’t know if you’ve ever
Loved like this like this like rain
to allow yourself to be drenched
in the next rainfall
