i want to post a new poem, but unfortunately it still sucks. so i will post an old one because i like it and because some of you may not have read it.
say whatever you want
as long as it’s real
and i won’t pressure you
to reveal the slightest thing
but you should know
that i’ve got a sneaking suspicion
that things aren’t quite how they seem
c’mon now, i don’t wanna dance
in a clumsy two-step forever,
leave me out
or let me in,
but this lie isn’t befitting
of who i thought you were
so don’t play this game
cause i’ve seen all your cards
and you’ve got an empty hand
__________________________
tell me something beautiful,
but maybe not so typical
as a walk on the beach
or cuddling by the fire,
cause i need more
than just air to breathe,
or a sweet idea
of what love is meant to be.
where are we now,
that it seems like so long ago
we both believed
our precious notions.
and through it all
i pinch myself;
but i’m trapped in restless sleep,
looking for the dream
that i want to awake to,
but it flickers away in a
mist of misunderstanding
and causes pity to rain down
and wash the ground
away into some nothing.
and so day after day
i sit lonesome,
wishing for something typical;
just for starters i’ll build you a fire,
and we can walk along the beach
to your heart’s desire,
if you promise not to go,
and i’ll call you beautiful,
because that’s who you are.
i decided to post two because i can.
last night i went to the travelers game with some old and new friends. actually just one old friend and a crop of new ones, but it was still great fun. the travelers won pretty dramatically and that pleased me. i forget how much i love baseball until i go to a game or just watch one on tv. in other news, i’m not getting to play ultimate tonight because our church softball team needs me and my brother to play, else they forfeit, so we’re doing that. it won’t be as much fun as frisbee, but i’ll give it my best.
another reminder: father maple show friday @ thrio’s w/ kaleo and hence reverie. starts at 7:00. we will rock you.
