this is where i am

REACHING FOR THE STARS

COMING HOME FROM THE BARS

THIS IS MY ENDEAVOR

LETS STAY AND DANCE FOREVER

THE SNOW IS MELTING

AND THE VILLAGE IS FLOODED

WITH CHILDREN

-KOBAYASHI ISSA BEHOLD THE EGO

SET IN GLOWING EMPTINESS

ON THE EDGE OF TIME

STAY IN THE MOMENT

SMOKE SOME WEED AND DRINK SOME WINE

WE CONVERSE ABOUTS WHAT'S IDEAL

AND LOSE OURSELVES IN TIME

something tells me

something tells me these times are worth working for

the open road and the rolling hills lead me to a place where i see endless possibilities.

what is becoming of this?

who knows who cares

it's just a sensation that lifts us higher.

i can feel the wind whipping through the streets

and see the sun reflecting from the windows.

the shadows cast a brisk chill

but around the corner awaits the warmth of that glowing ball in the sky.

your sunshine is always just around the corner.

memory tells me these times are worth working for

let me tell you.

it's something we only dream about

a in a valley under blue skies

with a dark eyed beauty.

where the music never stops and the laughter never dies.

we drank like fish and always walked in a cloud of happiness.

every day began and ended with her next to me.

we danced on our feet and danced on our backs,

we sang out loud and sang within, and

we created artwork with brushes and fingers.

i was your canvas and you were mine.

cut off from everthing prior, i felt at ease

take me back to this place i call home please.

lets not be swallowed by the guilt of pleasure or the bliss of eachother.

i will not feel ashamed to say i am happy.

do you want to go back to the place where it started? lets do

i stumbled upon you beneath the towering buildings with no expectations and

you were more beautiful than i remembered.

sometimes we are only allowed one night to make this impression but

it only took a minute.

we stretched the night into morning where i departed from you.

as i walked along the desolate streets you ran in my head.

how did this happen? why did this happen? did that just happen?

LIFE

this room has no identity

it's difficult to express your views and ideas when it's out of your control

break of out the captivity you are so accustomed to and step across to the other side

untitled

The target is joy

And the objective is clear

Sit down to play with a toy

Or stand and stare at a deer

Don’t think to complain

Because it takes to much thought

It’s simple to obtain

Because happiness is not taught

Maybe it just takes the sun

Or maybe a compatible soul

Do whatever needs to be done

Just finish the day with a stroll
