Happy Trails


When I kicked my door shut,
Prayed the dust from my foot
to follow you to your next pit stop.

May the path you walk
be the bumpiest any
man did dare thread before,

And from the bottom of my heart,
I hope you get what you deserve
x's more.

I wish your feet to crave the
places they don't belong, and
I hope that somewhere along the road,
your heart gets strung.

May you love someone deeper and longer
than anyone else before and may she play
the game against you, until your hope is no more.

In Karma's Name, Amen.

First Swim



It was you that made me fall,
off the ledge of reason…


You looked me in the eyes,
and said, The water is fine.
I became captivated by that one single line.

 
So I didn’t see the treacherous waves
before me.  Instead, I took your hand softly,

and emerged too deep…

 
That’s when I had difficulty breathing,
brutal water shoved against cheek
and you were nowhere for me to see.
 

I could not swim until that point,
when I realized I was in the water alone,
beating the fierce currents on my own.

 

See it all happened so fast,
and before it started,
I was introduced to its’ last.

 
I learnt to adapt quickly, as I begun to

form my hands, and glide my feet,

as the water clung against me like a sheet.

 
I let the waves caress the curves of me.

I pushed forth stronger until I could see…
the horizon that shined before me.
 
It was then I realized, with land in sight,

I had beat the worse that was coming to me,

I just needed to stand up on my own two feet.

For the Sake of Our Love



For the sake of our love,

we build bridges over

the broken pieces. We

tip-toe slowly over its’ surface

and try not to look down

to rivers of past.  We acknowledge

the stumbling blocks that try to

halt us dead in our tracks.

 

For the sake of our love, we can start

over again, and then again,

when we go the wrong

route. Think the “agains” are better

each time.  We realize the

reality of our love, and we

make up for time lost.

 

For the sake of our love,

we keep loving the intricate

outlines and interiors of one

another.  We delicately

wallow in the heart of the others

soul, and tarry long.

 

For the sake of our love,

we love.  Like endless moments

trapped at the edge of earth.

We cross galaxies of pain and hurt.

We leap over high peaks

and mounds to reach what

God meant for us to be.

 

For the sake of our love,

we seek to reach our

destiny, and dive deep

Into the brink of possibilities.

With You

With you,
I am me, and you are you.
I like the simplicity of it.

The simple way,
you make me
smile with few
words spoken.
 
The way your
words spoken
seem to fill me up
more than the food
on my plate.

My internal plate made
full by the possibility of
you and me.

You and me,
just like the sound of it
as one harmonious beat.

One harmonious beat,
that looms over me,
and tickles me left and right.

Left or right,
I'd follow you,
to a mutual center.

Center, is where we
always seem to meet,
with your thoughts,
complimenting my own.

With you,
I am me, and you are you.
I like the simplicity of it.

Naked Melody

Laying in bed
after love.
Thinking thoughts,
...
lazy like,
ones that require
no x equals
why this or that,
or what to do next.
Instead,
We lollygag in thought,
together, alone.
No longer
self-conscious of that
extra fat on my
stomach and thighs,
pressed up against
you now.
Quietly exposed in
beaming light.
I linger fingers on that
scar you despise.
Lost in the silent hum of us,
side by side,
where imperfection
becomes justified.
