Alive
You are alive
Animated
A beehive
Exhilarated
Look at your face
You smile shines
Not a trace
Of worldly confines
Exciting
Titillating
Breathtaking
Electrifying
You captivate a room
So bubbly and fresh
A flower in bloom
Beaming outside your flesh
Everyone notices
They are drawn to your energy
Simply dazzling and amazes
Special mysterious alchemy
Your charm
Your power
Your presence
Your attractiveness
Everyone wants you
To steal your vigor
Because they are blue
Playing a fool and poor actor
You are spontaneous
So alive in your spirit
Your harmonious
With this grand merit
I want it too
Since I was fifteen
Constantly trying to renew
Feelings for a girl at fourteen
I have my chance
To suck her marrow
Maybe by happenstance
But I have climbed the plateau
And I am not coming down
To be a mere mortal
I am on here playground
And I too will be adorable
Tag: emotions
Shift
Shift
Left to right
Forward and back
Dark to bright
Run to tack
There are many ways to go
And I must change
Do not go with the flow
I must turn the page
Leave Jackson
Do not be shocked
Viking or saxon
Not land locked
A new journey
Sailing away
Leaving absurdity
A new sunset everyday
My intent
My want
My plan
My desire
At sixty not too late
To transition
A new journey and fate
A grand ambition
But wait
Who is this girl
That I went on a date
Her hair has so much curl
I am smitten
By her beauty and enthusiasm
Maybe sailing is not written
She has to be an addendum
My plan b has crumpled
Moving to plan c
My arrogance humbled
I now can see
I want her in my life
And she makes me laugh
With no crazy strife
I want to be her better half
In this moment
In this time
In this minute
In this space
I will pursue her
Wanting to know if she is real
Not some imaginary blur
And my feelings are real
Sailing will be there
But I can not let this pass
I am chasing that wild hair
And this charming lass
There is so much opportunity
There is so much promise
There is so much compassion
There is so much expectation
Go all in
Do not miss the chance
I can only laugh and grin
A sailboat can not kiss or dance
My Old Friend
I missed you
My good friend
We can share a pew
And transcend
Transcend my feelings
My feelings of obscurity
In all routine dealings
Reducing my security
Fall left to right
Shift backwards
The sun so bright
Unable to say words
Where do you hide
In the summertime
Where do you reside
Rushing back time after time
To disrupt my life
Bewitching me
Causing such strife
Not letting me flee
Fleeing the troubles
Fleeing the nuisance
Fleeing the intangibles
Fleeing the assurance
Assurances of stability
Assurances of normality
Assurances of survivability
Assurances of congeniality
I become tired
I become annoyed
I become angered
I become destroyed
Hard to accept
This reoccurring crap
Not well kept
In this sinister trap
Trap of denial
Trap of betrayal
Trap of carnal
Trap of abnormal
This is not just
Give me relief
Can you adjust
And reduce your grief
You must
No other choice
Or you will rust
And lose your voice
Stay steady
Bulk up
Reduce your anxiety
Accept your cup
Remember
I remember When I was younger I was a member And did not hunger I was strong I was healthy and fit I sang a happy song I had my wit I did not worry For my health I was in a hurry To make my wealth This was my affiliation Make money and win Part of a capitalistic nation But this was a sin To chase money Forgetting the rest It was not sunny Much distress I wanted it all But pursuing wealth Created a great brawl Lurking with stealth Destroyed relations Forgotten friends Missed donations Not making amends Strained relationships Desensitized to everyone Emotionless trip Kindness and empathy none Emotions scattered Health in ruin Definitely battered Ready to be done in Life falls apart Little by little Leading to a bad heart So brittle But I am an associate Paying taxes and voting A member of our capitalist state But I am not gloating I forgot the truth I forgot the guidelines I forgot the nursery rhymes I forgot the wisdom books A wealth of knowledge I learned long ago I must acknowledge I did know Charity Forgiveness Compassion Moderation Why did I not Live a life That I was taught Without conflict and strife Was I needy Was I selfish Was I greedy Was I foolish Yes I can agree I made a mess I was privileged and free Why did I need more Why could I not be happy Why did I war Why was I snappy Who cares All that is gone Drop your airs Today is a new dawn Life is here And kind Listen and hear Open your mind To another earth One of jubilation Allowing a rebirth Out of damnation To a life of fraternity Remembering community Now and for eternity My new opportunity
