Dreaming

I want it all
Taste the salt
warm summer breeze
Live for free
Soak the sun
never go home
Stay out late
over sleep
Take a shot
keep on chugging
Never give up
never slow down
Keep a modern quill
in my hand
never stopping
Decorate this temple
with what I choose
Laugh in the face
of adversity
Surround myself with
splendid company
Soak up the stars
Sprinkle pixi dust
skate that sun flare
Jump the milky way
Celestial embrace
come on down
Do it again
Taste the salt
on that warm summer breeze

Stealing from a song

This can't wait
gotta say everything
Kept pent up so long
held tight and corked
Don't hesitate darling
I just have to say
That I love your way
cliche as it seems
Those eyes peering into my heart
want to kiss your lips
Just hold me tight
Stay still
Two hearts joined
in an embrace unimaginable
Never want to fade
Never want to leave
Stay through all the trials
holding on to hope
The hope that some day
you'll make my dreams come true
I got to say that I see it
Have to say that
baby I love your way
Stealing lyrics cannot hide
All that's said between our hearts
when we utter not a syllable
Honey I can tell that some day
you could make my dreams come true

Some day?

Craving wishing begging
hasn't got me very far
Sitting silently, waiting patiently
hasn't got me very far
Attainment for others fills my mind with doubt
Maybe for me it's never going to be
Crying pleading screaming
never got me very far
Loving cherishing content
no not so very far
Say these things
appeasement never action
Getting tired of
getting nowhere
Full of jealous tendencies
Need something more
Can't take these idle minds
Want the whole
if all I get is part is it even worth
the waiting, the hoping pain I daily endure
Every time I see or hear the glitter
in another's voice and eye
see their gleaming face
can't stand their happiness broadcast
I've remained for so long
I deserve what they've obtained
Still I will stay
craving wishing begging
sitting silently waiting
crying pleading screaming
loving cherishing
staying content
But you know it never does get me very far

Dream

Far away places
unseen faces
fill my mind
I cannot focus
on the mundane
wishing for extraordinary
Golden rays of sun
on white beached romance
Sparkling clarity of breath
Sailing into the world
known only by lovers
of dramatic comedies
Speaking without uttering a word
Mind meld of the purist kind
Speak soft and gentle now
as I awake
from an unattainable dream.

Shadow

Do not stand in my shadow
Its depth may encompass
all you thought was true
and pure in life
Taking you to a land
you only see in nightmares
dream scenes or
fantasies
Taking you into
scapes only seen in my mind
Eyes closed visions arise
sweeping you away
bringing you close
close to me
No, do not stand in my shadow
the intimacy is far
too deep for my liking

Punctuation Purgatory.

Is that a period?

No…semicolon

Wait

No

I….

Oh No!

It’s punctuation purgatory

Where good minds go to die

When ellipses are five pages long

Apostrophes are chasing the

Out of their minds

To jump

Off that bridge

And fall

Down

In to

Oh No!

It’s punctuation purgatory

Chased by English Major Llamas

Running through run ons

Down the hyphenated lanes

To a place you’ve never been

However, …wait…

Can you start a sentence

Like that?

Here it comes again…
