Looking for someone as good as you,
In a long time,
I'm know I'm a shy average dude,
But we can spend time,
Been a long time since I seen your face,
Haven't seen at all really,
Im out of my place,
Let's go inside its kind of chilly,
So get closer,
I know your pretty impressed,
From the words that I told you,
As we talk longer,
Someone as good as you,
Would need someone to love,
I could,
Spread joy for you,
And sprout doves,
Knowing you need love,
Your characteristics are heaven sent,
Polygons change their shape,
Just elevating the lint,
I'm so in a trance,
But we were not talking about inception,
You turned my world upside down,
Experiencing the life lessons,
And your teachings,
Make me feel like I have to watch you from a far,
Like a beam of light,
That just struck my heart.

WILLIAM WORTHLESS
there was a tabby cat as ginger as can be
he was very cheeky a mischevious chap was he
chasing after birds  gave him such a thrill
always on the move never ever still.

roaming all around each and everywhere
roaming wild and free life without a care
oneday on his travels he saw a wheely bin
lifted up the  lid and took a quick peek in.

there he saw a kitten he began to cry
trying to get out but bin was far to high
cat he hung his tail in to pull the kitten free
i will set you free he  said just hang on to me

cat he pulled him out he was free at last
he was very lucky that cat was walking past
cat he was so happy setting kitten free
now there friends forever and will always be

There is a stillness
that lies beyond the tallest trees;
beyond the quiet nesting
of daylight summer birds

Halfheartedly
I am reluctant
to close my weary eyes,
to miss this beautiful cool
refreshing bliss
of serenity once more
bound in endless flow

How contemptuous a nightly lull
that breaks the sun's disquietness
of the day,
renders day into night,
and twilight shadows
that playfully scorn
our daytime senses

We are all rocked in the cradle of mother night
she sings
her veiled and peaceful
insightful sound
I suckle
like so many others
on her breast of cool refreshing peace
I absorb her calming black-night-lactose
that gently whispers to sleep
the energetic day child
within us all
As cool water consumes fire
As night consumes the heated day

I think beyond
the stars
that now shine
the past starry nights
I think about trillions upon trillions
of stars overwhelmed
by the black empty
outer limits
that encircle and distantly
embrace them

I think about
the greater part
of the universe,
making ours and all other
daylight galaxies appear
but like so much dull
insignificant fluorescent glow
And because how mind boggling,
awesome and vast
is the eternal cosmic night sky

And how belligerent to think
all galaxies' day-suns
like our Sun,
being the all powerful
when they are but only
minuscule stars winking and
swimming passively
in the greater awesome devouring blackness

LOOK NOW!...a comet
streaks across the heavens
like a rapid musicians
hypnotic metronome
then stops
then fades away
while the rest of the heavens
sing along
in blinking symphony  

Influenced by my most
inner ease
my total being joins
this starry rhythm
I sway like a calm breezy lull
and half shuffle
my feet
over the midnight countryside
of stillness...
... ever sooooo...gently
I changed the title from "When the sun goes down
to the above title. It seems more apropos

Close your eyes honey.
Take my friendly hand
Let me carry your worries
Close your mind ' s eye
I know a place you' d like.
I know of this island
It has a comfy house on the sea
shore ' s sand .
The house encircled with a plush
lawn ,
And on this island the sun never
frowns .
See her laying on the sea, but she
will be up by dawn .

Can you hear the sweet song from
the brushes ?
Can you see how the water , to the
shore , rushes ?
Look in the pretty clear sky
See the variety of beautiful birds
flying by.
Please honey , let me make your
heart smile .

In this sweet get away
let me bear your pain and kiss your
worries away .

I need you
I want you with me
now and forever
to be by my side

We have a chance
it might work
We might see each other
as we’ve always dreamed.

I can’t imagine
I’d love it so much.
I want it to happen
I hope it will

If it does
If I see you there
wherever it is
it’s home.

And despite all the longing
despite all the pain
If I see you I’ll be complete
If our eyes meet, I’ll be home.

If I’m with you, I’ll be home.

The familiar ache in my heart
as I know I want to write
there's a poem inside me
waiting to come out
waiting to be printed on paper.

The scratching of my pen on paper
the ink forming letters, then words
not glancing at the clock
not wanting to stop
wishing I could freeze time

Glances from other people
pencils scratching their papers
rushing to get their work done
a feeling I know well
and can connect with now.

Bell, please don't ring
wait a little longer?
seconds tick by cruelly
counting down without mercy
they match the beat of my heart

People packing up stuff
anxious to leave
for once I am not with them
how can I want to leave?
Here I can write, I am free.

Stay with me
One more day
One more night
Even one more post

Talk to me
One more time
It's not allowed
But when did that stop you?

Say to me
Tell me you love me
Just one more time
Remind me of our forever

One more e-mail
One more post
Breach our distance
Please?

Just once more?
Thunderclaw, if you see this, contact me in any way possible. <3 I love you.
