In my shadows

I cannot tell you what awaits in the
shadows of my mind, because you would
not understand.

Few people have been in my shadows.

But you have reached so far into my
soul that I am certain that you will
see what lies beyond.

I'm not asking you to comprehend what
you see, nor am I asking you to listen
to me when I describe what you see.

You have to feel it, because if you're
not feeling it, then you're not seeing
it.

I am grateful, without shame or debt.

My pain is without end, but it is not
all dark because my happiness is also
without end. Some people call it
bipolar, I call it life; because I do
not know another life.

But then again, those people have never
lived my life.

I cannot say it in a less complicated way:

I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

Now

Now

It is so hard to think
of you over there,
when I am over here
but it is all I can do
to keep my sanity

I miss you more than
I can express with
words, for they are
but words

Thinking of words said,
things done
in my head
in my heart
in the past

If the past is all I
have
I need to make now
the past
but not vice versa
because I do not
wish to live there
in a place that has
been but never is

If I did not miss you
and if I did not think
of you
and if I did not feel
it as I feel it
then I would not be
writing this
nor be feeling what I
feel

But I do, so I will

I am me

My feet need to feel the earth, my nose needs to smell the air, my eyes need to see the trees, and my ears need to hear the water. I am all those things, and I need all those things. I am complex and simple, I am weak and I am powerful. I am me.

Hall of fame for eternity

It is of little consequence on the
big scale of things, and many would
say it is of no importance

But they know not what you have
done for me

Smiling for someone's soul
is a small feat, in this age of
instant satisfaction

And smiling for my heart is a
matter of knowing what I crave

But making the sun rise in just
the right way, and making the
birds sing, that special song,
and making me feel like I'm
something special

That may just put you in the
hall of fame for eternity

What's your choice?

I have tried for so long
To find the reason I keep
coming back

I don't believe in spells
or supernatural phenomena

But the only explanation
I can find is that either
I'm blind
Or these things really
exist

A smile, a look, or one
long kiss is all I need
to turn into suckered
meat

Are you doing it because
you can, or are you
doing it because you
want to?

Perhaps I should turn the
tables on you? Perhaps I
should tell you to put up,
or shut up?

With nothing to lose,
and everything to
gain,

what's your choice?

Your move.
