I
push
at my wall
expand into the
far corners of total
conciousness yet there
are four dimensions to bind
and five senses to contend with
therefore I'm compressed in
the shape of enlongated
boxes turned onto
their corner tip
and discover
the shape
of


DIAMONDS

I read the work of another poet to have the similar idea. I don't recall who it was. It is not my purpose to plagiarize. But I have this idea that we all can be extended only so far before we are compressed again. But is that not how sparkling diamonds are made? Carbon heated 2 expansion then compressed in the Earth. Something to ponder anyway...

If the life changed us
turning the lake into a desert,
if our love got tired
stripping the tree
of its leaves,
if even the desire
wanted to cry,
the beautiful things
cannot be forgotten.

ALL THOSE THOUGHTS

that vacant stare

the here-not-here

thought gathering
these few seconds

of a world
of little or no

significance
consequence

a glance capturing
a bird in mid-flight

the dance of sunlight
through lime green leaves

a memory of her self
being all of four

the yellow pencil sharpener
held steadily in her hand

paring all the  coloured pencils
down to the last shavings

a swirl of frocks
dancing with each other

all these thoughts
scattered upon the air

all these thoughts lost
as

the bomb goes off.

fire in her eyes
A yellow sun
And ocean blue
I kissed the sky
And thought of you

Once again, walking life’s tightrope,
What’s keeping me up here?
Is it love? Is it hope?

How many things can karma throw at me?
How many more rounds before the ref steps in?
Gives me a ten count. TKO?

Keep putting one foot in front of the other,
It’s not the height that worries me,
*It’s the fall over the one I won’t see coming.

Dad...

I do know I'm a terrible child
who doesn't know everything. 

I do know I want to do what seems impossible
and probably won't get to it.

I do know who I am. Mostly. 
I'll tell you one day.

I do know you care 
even when our views oppose.

I hide away in my room everyday
because I'm not ready...
to tell you who I am,
who I want to be,
what I want to do
and where I want to see.

I feel like I'm living a lie
sometimes I want to die 
or hurt myself until I feel like I am. 
I'm not who I am. 

I'll tell you one day. Hopefully soon.
This was going to be for fathers day but I couldn't bring myself to give it to my dad.

My sadness for you has been swept under the rug, for you are not the person I fell in love with last summer.
You are a new you
A new, *******, version of yourself.
So, I will not sulk. The you I knew is no longer there.
Maybe we will meet as strangers once again.

past tense.

when you begin to replace
all of the words
with their past tense
maybe then
it is when you realize
that you are truly
sad
and alone
stuck in a muddy rut
drowning in the past
of things that were
and you wish could have been
maybe then
you can accept
but for now, right now
i am living in
past tense
