(2014)
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
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
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
I spend my nights wishing on every star in the sky that you are alive and well
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
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
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
