You Should Know By Now What A Liar I Can Be, With Two Fingers Crossed And Whispering To You Goodnight

you should know by now what a liar i can be, with two fingers crossed and whispering to you goodnight and sweet dreams, while i resist sleep in favor of picturing what tomorrow's abrupt entrance may bring—

what strength the dusty wind will blow with, what color of light the radiant sun will shine, what striking songs the birds will choose to sing,

or whether this heaviness will still weigh my life's sins on my heart and my mind,

and, maybe, what words from you will greet, from behind a waking veil, these still-sleepy morn eyes;

If my heart had a say in my matters 

It would beat in a different way

Black car, stone steps, white windowpane, that never really mattered

White crewneck, black tar stains

I never look back on anything like I do on that day.

Butterflies flutter

Flowers frolic, silken threads

Hold me as I sleep

🍄 day 5 of gratitude haiku

until the day

this day Summer resurrected from her grave Once again the wind sends the birds that dissolve into dust Sending thoughts northward This is the coldest tear you’ll ever shed Sparks rip your wells to puddles Stars fall on the floor When it starts happening You realize you don’t like it anymore

Until The Day

To protect me from piracy,

this ocean was diamond-cut sharp with danger

where waters will sting you mercilessly,

don't let me jump either

I have a lot of ingenuity

I have a lot of questions between alternating waves of seawater and poison

I have become swept up under a darling cove

And darkness awoke, something I know

forget about running away

forget about trying to play it nice better off alone, again I know, it's sad I do it now and then, I do it for myself

Don't Be Damned

don't be damned

dry your life of an eye

with its turquoise shoreline

A small world in envelope

with enamored stars and newfound hope

don't be damned,

there is nothing else you need to know

-s's.

everyday is a beautiful lamplight peaking into a darkened forest

Filling up forgotten chambers,

I hear, I see, I left it too soon

take off and leave white hazy plumes

Air’s been kissed with an infectious blue

-s’s.
