Go away simply to return
if nothing strive to learn all ways
do what you know in ways you do not
reach for the surface as though your trapped beneath
these words may mean something
to you, they are from me
I follow patterns with proses
offer odes to something or nothing all at once
I oft not know what it is that I write of
and in this sense I yearn to be taught
He who knows, but knows not that he knows, you must teach him
words from Bruce Lee
understand that words when spoken have more power than fists
or a kiss
yet most actions speak of greater things than words
being told to act as you are, is a way of saying
lie about who you are, because you cannot act this part
better said to be who you are
I was told
to be me
I know people claim to like this person
I do at times as well, often though less than I ought to
I dream of canoes and maneuvers
of a paddle adorned with a loon
of a teacher who taught more than just lessons
and of the people I love in my life
it is likely that I have dreamt of you
maybe once
I dream this things through restless nights
alone under sheets holding a pillow in lieu
I often think back, to an opinion I trust
an opinion of a person was so often correct
I relate myself to those words so often
hopeless and romantic
and unfortunate duo
I love to love so much that I am truly scared to do so
I will hold you so tight, and keep you warm in my embrace
share kisses and hugs and beds
but my heart is mine for the taking
and this is something I fear
I choose to not be stolen
and for this I suffer at length
.....
words make me who I am
but these words mean so very little
I find myself writing what I know best
and this is what I wish to change
this spring I choose to be new
like the trees and the plants of the earth around me
from a dormant-like death
to new life in a leaf
renew who you are, but always be you
a challenge presented, and one to upkeep
I can honestly say this
I love you
whoever you are
and I will hold you and hug you
keep you warm in the night
share stories and sheets
and respect what we share
I am not in search of Lovers
nor household, nor rings, nor leashes
I move freely through life with all that I've learned
and if you wish to share, I am glad to be there
