ear to the floor

listening to that sound
the buzzing in an ear
to the floor
still no one here
the sound as it becomes silence
rising with the moon
smile in a different way
back when it made sense
enough to move forward again
stuck up in the same old trap time flies when trying to enjoy
drags when desire is for it to pass fast
assembling thoughts for a public viewing
life through more positive eyes
seeing straight even when crossed
each street individually making a mark
red right here in the book
carried from spot to spot
the sound as ear to floor
is pen to page means the mind's inspired
the heart racing toward some end
always beginning a new thought
utilizing all the time spent recording
all that can be crammed into sound
listen as it comes close again...

forget loneliness

forgetting being forgotten
loneliness has been chased
from his side
quick now
down for the count
playing as background
another night to remember
to add to the five weeks
of severe calm
smooth sailing
no doubt choppy waters
someday five weeks
just gives a good first impression
seen through any tough times
another smile forgetting
any negativity shoved out of the way
new positive path plowing
through snow on christmas
alone but without loneliness
forgetting that too...

leg is numb

when your leg goes numb

from not moving enough

and none of those you met

have the right stuff

that you need the now

and no introduction needed

until now flood waters

have not receded

standing knee deep in the dark

got something to say

the feeling I cannot describe

and it won’t go away

anytime soon if I can

help it keep getting stronger

some thoughts short

another might be longer…

beauty's eyes

it would be an understatement
to say this is all good
amazing nights looking
into beauty's eyes
blue like sky above
without clouds
no rain on any parade
marching here and there
with mind occupied
all the moments
shared and replayed
over and over
like a classic movie
fitting each night perfect
vision as we stare
at the same moon
and stars when apart
easier once weariness
goes away arriving next
day renewed
thinking how nice
sun rise and set together
with beauty's eyes
next to mine...
