tales
lots and lots of tales. short ones long ones skiny ones tall ones. they all paint a picture of something magestic that happened to a single individual and they use words within these tales to show us and re-create the amazing experience so that we all may live it.

real
the one thing in the world we want to forget. the one thing we always remember. Tearing us back to the world, holding us down for awhile. You can be struggling for air, or finally taking it all in. Those moments you hold onto forever, the ones you let go of. The seconds it takes to come back to life. Everything in your world,and outside of it. holding it, touching it,seeing it having it right before your eyes. It is all too real.

July
flowers in the sun. The swaying breeze gently touches me. It is a happy time of freedom and relief. Yet sadness is coming. It can not last forever. that is how it must be. What would joy be without sorrow? How could we enjoy the happy if we never knew what it was like to cry. July is happy. July is warm. But July will only be momentary.

dehydrated
Your torrid body has quenched my parched thirst for love and lust and safety in oak arms I am protected delicate lace together we battle the crowds together together together I am glue on you aching to be permanent ¬

chain
There was once a chain on the fence near the house where I used to live. It was a lonely chain, hanging low and cold during autumn nights and winter mornings. I never thought much of it but I always noticed its presence on that fence.

leading
I was leading them into failure. I don’t know if they could see it, but it was always clearly in front of me, whichever way I turned, whichever way I led– the failure. The end. Certain death for me and all of my too-trusting friends who so blindly placed their faith in me.

retrieve
I had to find it. What had I lost, anyway, that had turned me into this dull creature, this pathetic bit of flesh? I suppose I had to figure that out first, but, bottom line– I couldn’t go on like this. Something had to give. Something had to break. It wasn’t going to be me this time.

rainy
SPLASH- a puddle wraps around my ankles. GUSH- the sound of galoshes CHIRP- a tweet from a feathered friend that wishes to say hello.

capture
Take my heart, scrape it, clench it in your hands, I am weak clay in them, I am just mud if left alone. Shape me in an image, capture your thoughts, I am tangible, I am real if you make me so. So create me, I will be your masterpiece, Your flesh statue that breathes.

residue
It covered her. Soot was everywhere, the fire had burned the city to the ground; her world, her life, her everything, was a powdered ash that hovered in the skies.

fixed
This damage you’ve caused, it broke me. I am a snapped branch after the hurricane, and you were the storm. Your eyes were lightning that hit me in daze and separated my soul and body. Your words hit me like hail, like cold stones that tear at my usually rough bark as if I am cotton and you are the hand that picked me.

torch
Light me up, shake me down, rotate this frown see the silver lining in the clouds and we’ll go up, up, up in flames in love.

pastel
Your eyes shone upon me, so crystal clear lightning shook through them, and your hand grazed my shoulder as we sat on the cold curbside and waited for the sun’s bright rays.

swing
We swing life away in such a way that the momentum will let it all fly away one day if we make one single mistake.

sweat
ran down her face. she’d been running for a while now, the biting high desert wind cutting into bones. Her sweat felt like frozen lines on her face, her sweat staining and freezing the light material of her cotton blouse.

Drip with frustration as he walks out the door slams shut and you are sitting there guessing where he’ll go and your throat is sore from the argument and your voice is shaking as you pray and the tears just fall from your eyes like lost words you should’ve said.

pony
Always wanted one. I want some, once I am older, on some cute ranch in Wyoming. They will be named murphy and sal and henry and ericson.

walls
You’ve got limitations on your mind, rickety fences to knock over, a psychological boundary to push past, and no sledgehammer in sight.

chief
You think you’re a broken, rough Indian, Living in tanned skin huts with your beaded things You say you’ve seen famine and war paint. You say you can beat the White Men with their muskets- Beat them all like a dance drum- But arrows fall short of the lead missile roaring to you And your brown skin runs red like the campfire, You still charge into the failing battle But your mad horse eyes show fear.

stunning
I’ve never really thought of myself more than just average. Sure there are sudden spurs when I like that reflection in the mirror, but my personal term is “Pretty Potential”. I’ve got potential, maybe one day you’ll see it.

sacrifice
people sacrifice on a daily basis. firefighters and cops and soldiers. i don’t sacrifice anything. i’m selfish. what can i possibly do to make a difference? i’m such a failure, but i don’t know how to change anything about it. whether you believe in religion or not…. some people believe that jesus made the ultimate sacrifice of all. who would do these things for the common man? i wish i could.

Be still my heart, stop your savage chase;I’ve found the start of it; just you.

stacks
the stacks are great, her legs it moves closer, like cars on a heavy traffic, like light, does it want to be touched?

salt
We were sweet like Sugar On the mouths of innocents. We were fiery like Cayenne On warm July afternoons, Before we turned bitter like Salt On washed-away shores of Greece; And I miss our Tabasco love And our Molasses words, thick and lovely- But I don’t miss your Cinnamon lies, My Honey Dear.

sponge
I to soak up your love like a sponge, and stare at you with mad horse eyes and ponder the stars and their need to implode upon themselves when the going gets rough. I want this, with you.
