waiting for the fall

My beach of memories
long walks in winters cold
what seems like yesterday
was years and years ago
nights alone feeling very small
under a million stars
waiting for one to fall
thanking them for helping me
putting my problems in perspective
nothing at the highway's crest
but me enjoying the welcome sight
of a lonely moonless night
alone in emotional retrospective
thanking the sand and sea
for becoming a part of me

Communicate

Given too much purpose
given too much need
trying to hold out, a still shot
frozen by two cold eyes
never removed from memory
too numb to say anything
this is how we communicate

The Rain

It's wrong for us to think
we have so much power
for we still cannot stop
a summer shower

This long day

Shit on the radio
very tired
painful burning eyes
keep falling down
sore, so sore
my body tells me
no more today
let stones roll away
and bring a close
to this long day

Disconnect

Truth and mistrust
have begotten proper
misconduct, elections

Sitting on a wave of vibrations
a box of sound atop a hill
looking over your beauty at night
this is what I get when I disconnect

Sleep

Today is another late night
tans and muscles
roller skating
summertime fun
drinking their beer
along the pier
breakfast at ten
two drinks please
before I hit the road again
oh, the fun of knowing sleep
something lacking these days

Flashing Years

Consumated fears
thought flashes ahead years
a black mark in the book of deeds
vulgarity covering empty hearts
lust tonight
to meet your needs
