(2014)
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
My heart was paper now folded six times over to make it harder to tear I only hope that
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
Forever seems like so long until I think of all the times spent waiting
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
All that I know how to do is write about death without dying and write about life
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
The hands of this watch haven’t moved since the last time you did and I’m not sure if I’m ready to hear the ticking
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
