For You

on this lonely night,
smoke rings fill the air

like thoughts of you fill my mind

what can be done about the untouchable

figment of my imagination that seems too real

to ever let go of

to let float back into this unforgivable universe?

with hands tied behind my back

and blind eyes leading my footsteps

i guess at the trail that lies ahead of me

and trust that the bounding trees of the redwood

won't get in my way

but rather, surround us on that unforgettable day

of you and i

you and i baby,

you and i....

my thoughts get tangled in circumstantial words

and bound by influential perceptions

of denying eyes

but then, perhaps that's a good thing

for i could never be arrogant enough to assume that

your eyes

and my heart are connecting

for all i know its my presence alone

that you're rejecting

and that's fine.

all i need you to hear are my words that speak the following:

you, all of you

your heart, your eyes,

your body, your being,

your presence,

your essence,

is more than much of this world will ever fully grasp

and understand

in the most beautifully tragic sense

but for me....

to me....

you are everything i want and can never have

you are the spirit of the earth

that pulls me from my deepest nightmares

and into my most beautiful dreams

you are what i know to be...

what God himself...

created for me.

I love you

2. you won’t want to break
3. so let me break it down for you like this
4. my love, I dream about your lips, your smile
5. pressed against mine. I dream about time
6. transferred from thoughts of you
7. to time beside you, inside you, time that takes 21 lines
8. to slide into the future of me and you. Because let’s be honest, you –
9. you carve one solid line across my chest in a language that I don’t speak and you got me
10. you got me wrapped around your finger. So I’ll take your 20 leftover lines, add ‘em to mine
11. and perhaps double my chances to wrap myself around your energy,
12. your essence, your presence that invades my daydreams
13. and seems to fire me up and cool me down all in the same thought.
14. It’s now become a responsibility of mine
15. to attempt to write myself out of these 21 lines
16. and into your heart. A responsibility I’ve been dying to take on cause you
17. you’re the one that stays on my mind and keeps me alive. A stunning and terrifying thought.
18. a thought that reflects off the moon when I look into your eyes. My love,
19. my muse, try not to confuse these lines with anything more than a wish,
20. 21 complicated thoughts that surround a desire, a response to some kind of sign
21. pointing in your direction, 21 times, in hopes to become your habit, in 21 lines.
