Entries from July 2007
[ i wrote this on "one of those days." ]
full tank of gas. i’m headin south. neatly trimmed face. around my mouth. chapstick application. jump off the couch. chapstick addiction. in a new route. no more affliction. cleared my mind. took the test. step foot on the concrete. did my best. left over pizza for breakfast. barefeet. house key. i left the pillows as they were. so innocent and pure. built like a fortress.
can life get any better.
just when i said never.
lay in the grass. soak up the sun. it came so fast. it’s early. it’s springtime. i forgot the past. dear winter. it couldn’t last. phone calls. drive-bys. big hugs. high-fives. bringing smiles. for miles and miles. or maybe just from ear to ear. and i must profess. that by my side. is joy! and comfort is near.
waves crash. sun burning back. ants and sand crawl beneath my toes. it’s matter. it’s fact. it’s a message with an attachment. a flag for freedom. exposed. when the wind blows. verde sauce and cilantro. there’s a peace. on that seat. where that old man sits. it’s nice to meet you. can i see the ingredients to the way you live.
can life get any better.
just when i said never.
the fortune cookie-saying paper-thing. it rests in a crack in my dash. but today it disappeared. like a rich man’s cash. tree sap is thicker than blood ever was. the wind must of taken it. and if it would have asked. i would have been glad to pass it on. advance it. because i memorized it. like my favorite song.
life is full. every rose has it’s thorn. all my clothes may come off, but at least they’re worn. every winter turns into spring. and every fall ends with getting back up again. thanks for warming my heart and always brightening my day. thanks for putting up with me no matter which way i sway. etta is full. with changed oil. and washed so freshly.
yeah, it couldnt get any better. kneeling at the cross. it’s all about the little things. that fit in that box. i’m gonna say never more often. cuz look what it brings.
You GOTTA hear it.

[ poetry experiment <It's Love, and not time that heals all wounds> ]
no one is perfect, until you fall in love with them.
sacrifice. smile.
my anxiety says.
everything is totally gone.
hollowed out. empty. and alone.
relying on intuition. acting on assumption.
i am living. but i feel half dead.
half gone. what has my other half done. what has it said.
please, please i beg. i beg for forgiveness.
i’m so weak. i cannot stand this.
[slow motion chorus]
out of sight. out of mind.
only if you think. love is blind.
thinking. feeling. knowing the deeper need.
overflowing. loving. forced to bleed.
always wanting. justifying. making reason.
attracted to dying. attached to the poison.
no one is perfect, until you fall in love with them.
[slow motion chorus]
eleven petals, to the metal. speeding through time.
slow down, be still. but still, love is not a crime.
i need to focus. focus. on you. only you. eleven petals.
me me me, focus focus focus, you you you, selfish.
sacrifice. smile.
believe the creed with open emotions. subdued with… hopeless.
no one is perfect, until you fall in love with them.
no one is perfect, until you fall in love with them.
sacrifice. smile. it’s love. and not time.
Hear it.
