SWEET SIMPLICITY

Sweet Simplicity

you entice me with your beauty

To live in the darkness of complexity 

stops my heart from beating

Child like smiles turn to 

frowns 

My door stays closed 

as does my mind

when I am approached with

dark matter

I run and search for you

Sweet Simplicity

For I know you will fill my soul

with tranquility 

and keep my attention

on that which brings peace

Not on that which brings

anger and ugly possibilities

I stay true to you despite the pull

some have put on me

For

You entice me with your beauty

Sweet Simplicity

And

For that I will always be …

eternally grateful.

LOVE GARDEN

He says he loves you when

in fact

wants to own you

He is

invasive 

like bamboo

crawls up you

like ivy

chokes you out

like clover

Part of you wants

it over

But 

The other part wants to

work hard

to clean up the garden

and 

pray for flowers

to bloom.

MOONSHINE

The words out your mouth

come without attachment

Holding onto nothing

void of discovery

Only the desire to echo

and hear your own voice

Such a waste of sound

The chitchat flies to judgment 

and condemnation

Knowledge resting on an empty shelf

an unpacked suitcase

Best to zip your lip 

until you open your door

To actuality.

MORNING WALK

Why can’t we do it in the road

No one likes to step on it

sticks to their soul

hard to get off

at least that’s what I’m told

Why can’t we do it in the road

Such a relief 

tho brief

very hard to hold

Why can’t we do it in the road.
