Smooth Sailing

He gave without asking for anything

I gave what I could

He gave more

I gave more

I stopped for a moment

He continued giving 

He kept giving

He never stopped giving

The last wall came down

I gave

I gave

And then it was smooth sailing-

Simple and fulfilling

Stays

I want it to

 Doesn’t happen

Escape me

 Still remains

Vanish the root

 Holding tight

I ask yet

 Leading astray

Silence as the answer

 Hides behind

Kicks me into

 Won’t come forward

An angry dust

 Maybe laughing

Cannot continue

 Behind dark curtain

Speaking untruth

I want it to

 Doesn’t happen

Escape me

 Still remains

Destroy the

 Holding tight

Blackened soot

Away

no no no!
not like that and not that way
let those waves pull down the shades
running softly through the crowd
swirling, twirling, not making a sound
dipping and dripping with something of awe
not understanding the power of it all
everything moves around just in case
confused, confounded, sad and afraid
walking and standing in a small space
awaiting and longing for clarity and grace
wasting the days in the cavity of haste
in stillness and quietness passing the days
because fingers need to run along
through the dark and sandy race
making no sense of the words' mess
nothing is clear and no thing remains
giving up with tears or an angry face
what is this life, its depth, its place
waiting, still waiting to take first step
no beginning and no end without seeing or being content 
only the road to walk instead
step on and off lose and gain
no purpose 
no fame
no reason
play the game
cease the shame
worry not
dive
lie down
sway 
fall away

Someday

Drenched
In love
How sweet
It would be
Requiring nothing
Beyond memory
Simple
Exquisite
In pure harmony
Bathing in ecstasy
Someday
It has to be...

Words

I don't go to find them
They are coming themselves
Forcing me to increase walking pace
To reach to the finish
To storm to the end
And pour them all out
With an empty hand

A few common errors
Or mishaps of terms
Still they keep on coming
And writing themselves
My only choice here
Remains to be near
To give them a life
In this known sphere

And so I am clear
My role has been given
May syllables steer
This way and through the years

A Poem

"Are you an Angel?"
He asked today
Some may say
That I am
Yet I know best
Wings don't grow fast
And, by no means,
By themselves

But I'd like to be like one
And I'd like to live like one
And I'd like to hug everyone
And to comfort all in my tiny arm
And to leave a scent of sweetness behind
And to need or want nothing from anyone
Just to float on
And fly on by
And to melt in time
Without a drop of chime

Stretching

I move like it's the last thing I do
Fully focused on every detail
The head is the last to come fully up
It feels like a century has gone by
I am only a vessel for something big
And these little limbs are only a speck
And I want you to see the enjoyment of this
Every inch, every twitch is of the eternity
It is really a dance of the joints and the heart
And the smallest detail is where it's all at
And it takes full attention and the presence of now
There is nothing else beyond the current bow
And I want to take time to reach the divine
And I don't want to hurry to know the story
And I don't need to rush to feel the crash
It is all apparent in a moment's explosion
