The Relentless

You are the spring
The flower
the blossom
you grow and bloom
like everything
you are my summer night
lit smile by candle light
the perfect blend of oak and pine
june bug pants
ice cream shorts
heart a patch over mine

Darling

There you are

Still smiling

Even in slumber

Metling my heart

Experience

Guided thoughts,

Repeated words,

Endless time got me here.

Rosy, fast-moving glints

Of mellowed nostalgia,

Best left discarded,

Remain somehow

After all this rain.

It's there, a faint film

Right around the edges

That just can't seem to be cleaned off,

It's comforting.

A slow sip

Marking the end of a long week.

A train somewhere

Out in the impenetrable night,

Calming us.

But like all experiences

We are left marred 

More imperfect than before

More human.

Fame

Broken apart 

Like a cloud in the wind,

When the crowd chants for more

The glass life begins.

The sand-torn corners

Where those monsters did hide

Are now burnt by the sun

And beaten by the tide.

That stammering voice

Spilling out of your lips

Is now amplified, eternally,

For clowns and critics.

Traded for solace 

The waves never stop

That lonesome lighthouse 

A new tourist spot. 

It's the life that you've chosen

You mustn't complain,

For you may sink and drown in it

Turning back into rain.

She left the iron on again
Goddamnit
Why can't she just pick up the damn clothes
Goddamnit
Why is our account at 0
Goddamnit
Does she really have to take this call
Goddamnit
Where did she put my shit
Goddamnit
I was watching that
Goddamnit
Is she fucking kidding me
Goddamnit
She ate the last cookie
Goddamnit
Who taught her how to drive
Goddamnit
Did she unplug my phone
Goddamnit
100 bucks for a shirt
Goddamnit
She's going to want wine with dinner
Goddamnit
Good thing I married her

And this is exactly where you thought you'd be

Lost, wandering, liveing free.

Taking no shits, and giving no fucks

Getting by on pure bad luck.

Just like you always wanted.

Yeah, you're doing alright.

Now pull your pants up,

Wipe yourself off,

Put on your uniform,

Go back to work.

Early

And where will you go,
So early in the morning,
Before the grass wets
and there's still a hint of yesterdays warmth?
Just let me know,
because I'd really like to be there.
