Up Above
i.
Up above,
birds in the tree, in the rain,
in the night
ii.
Clouds moving
across a field
of moving clouds
iii.
Below the horizon,
the ocean moon
waves
iv.
With each gust,
the chatter of leaves:
passing time
v.
What about a cold night
makes these lines
so hard to finish?
vi.
Fitful leaves
moving
a March day
vii.
Tomcat sneaks
a glance at me –
sparrows take flight
viii.
3:00 a.m. –
my pen falls
awake
ix.
Between fence posts
the spider's web –
still
x.
Watching puddles
of sparrows bathing
in evening sun
xi.
Encouraged by rain,
magnolia blossoms
broken by rain
xii.
With each branch
the sapling birch grows
taller than me
xiii.
A glooming sky
gathers against hills
close as yesterday
xiv.
Patchy sky above –
these broken lilies
mending
xv.
White light
in a gray sky –
Winter sun
xvi.
At sunset –
the jetty
dips into the sea
xvii.
After the storm –
fields of puddles;
everywhere there is sun
xviii.
Cold to the touch –
these windows
full of sun
xix.
The clatter of hail
leaving the sky:
lonely
xx.
Between blades of grass,
March storms
gathering
xxi.
Sunny day –
a bowl of ramen
to cloud my glasses
xxii.
Swirling leaves –
my eyes chase
the running breeze
xxiii.
Crow on the back fence
watching –
but not me
xxiv.
A cloudless day,
and the gnats are storming in
a bar of sunlight
xxv.
Two crows crossing
miles of sky –
together
xxvi.
Crabgrass
among the daffodils –
of all things...
xxvii.
Perched on a fencepost,
a crow turns
into the wind
xxviii.
Stalking houseflies
as Mick Jagger sings:
it's only rock 'n' roll
xxix.
Conspiring among the bones
of almond trees –
crows
xxx.
Seething beside the road,
another devil
in the dust
-or-
Watching this devil seethe –
the mind swirls
with dust
-or-
Watching the column,
I sit – dust catching
with the devil
xxxi.
A fifth night
away from home –
tick tock tick tock tick
x-tra.
All across the valley,
so blue a sea –
wild lupine blooms
On the hillside
cows make a meal of their meal,
despite the rain
i.
Up above,
birds in the tree, in the rain,
in the night

Literature
The Cliche
Every time you come around
I cant find any words to say
So I say the most trite phrases
Like I love you
Ever since you walked into my life
Ive just been so speechless
I just cant find the words to describe
Your incredible beauty
It seems that whenever youre near
I lose all my track of thought
And become a mindless dummy
Repeating crap like a broken record
I dont know why
But when youre next to me
I can only repeat the cliché
Like You are my sun
And Ill love you forever
I want to tell you my real feelings
But I just cant find the words
Every time I

Brightest Star
I shot for the moon
And found myself a star
In you.
I call you a star because you are so bright.
Your burning essence creates a burning
In my heart that only you can put out.
I call you a star because you are my light.
When it was only darkness I could see
You came with your beautiful light.
It rid of all the rain clouds in my life
I call you a star because of your beauty
You are the most beautiful thing in the world to me.
With such an amazing glow, I couldnt help but
Worship and adore you.
I shot for the moon
And found myself a star
In you.
I may have missed the moon
But why would I need it
When I have the brightes
Literature
Addicted
Im sorry I cant share you
You are so precious to me
That I will never let go
Of you. Im selfish
You are my only want and
You are my sole need. I crave
Your touch, your scent, and your voice.
You bring me to life
Now I hope your eyes can see
Why Im for you so selfish
I cant share you because Im
Addicted to you.
