Poems when i cry and im alone

I feel odd
my fingers shake
my heart quakes
i want to be warm but im cold
softness annoys me
fur delights me

fur is so tender
and sweet
i want to have a coat of fur
something that warms my soul
i want to run and be free
but i cant
im cold

her hair
her chin
my face
so cold

i want a blanket
that wraps my soul in her
i want her warmth
i want her soul

sometimes i wonder
where i can go
what i can do
how i can feel
i dont know
i just feel odd

——————

somewhere i go
to a place that no one knows
its cold and sad
and im all alone

i cry and weep
but it never stops
im still there
im still here

i dont care anymore
nothing hurts
nothing feels

my tender heart
feels crished
by tears

—————–

where does this sadness come from
i want an old man to tell me
i want the world to turn
i want peace on my brain

one tear, strokes my cheek
begetting more
and more
i dont know why i cry

i just know im alone
im here, im writing
im feeling
so deep

——————-

things i remember
before i forget

walking so fast
like a cheetah in the wind
water bottle, hat, an agitated mind
i remember
before i forget

i told you i love u
i grabbed ur hand
i wanted your heart
i seek
i romance
i need to remember
before i forget

drinks
we went for drinks
i remember our drinks
i cry
i never saw ur love
im lost

——————

where must i go
what must i do
how far must i go
to be with u

ur smell i touch
ur lips i taste
ur heart i melt
i dont know

their is fear
their is darkness
their is hope
their is…i dont know

the salt touches my lips
it enrages my soul
i dont want to feel this
i want to be free
i dont ever want to feel
but i do
i miss u

——————-

just a single tear
why do you haunt me

is it for love?
is it for want?
is it for hope and desire and sex and touch
please no more tears

i miss, i cry, i feel, and i dont want to
i just want u
i just need u

i must
i don
i cant
i wont

but i do

——————

where am i
im alone
im sad

im not fuzzy
im not simple
im not loved
but i am

i fear this love
it touches me
it scares me
but i just dont know

i make no sense
but sense it not to be made
of love and tears

i only want u
i only need u

——————–

a vision to quell these tears
ur blonde a rest on my leg
looking up at me
smiling

ur dancing, ur smiling, ur dress
ur voice
so much so little
i have none

alas tears leave me
haunt another man
take my sadness
take it to my soul
and ask

where is this heart
where must it go
why do i feel
so
sad

——————–

when i think
about how i acted
and how i felt
i seem so silly

i was crusading
i was against the world
i needed something
it was all about me

then there was you
i opened my eyes
and i saw
i wanted you
i knew you

you’re heart beats with mine
you’re mind thinks with mine
your body touches mine

im still so scared
im still so wrapped in myself
but i hope
i believe i can love u
i believe
im so silly

—————–

how do i know i can love u
i dont
i dont need to know anything
i just feel
i just know

i shed tears and i obsess
i feel it in me
i let the passion
wash over my sanity

there is nothing left of me
just feeling
and knowing
that i must have u

i must touch u
i must enwrap you in my arms
but more than must
i need

a need that feels
a need that desires
i feel i know i need

———————–

i dont want to write
i want to cry
i want

you
your beautiful
ur sunshine
ur my heart

Raging into the Future

this started as a update to my resume, but quickly descended into writers fever:

My Own Personal Mission Statement
Art
Back to Basics
Creativity
Eccentricity
Community
Money
Friends/Family/Love

With the goal of finding oneself I seek to expand beyond my thoughts. As if the walls surrounding me could provide safety and contentment, which they do. Money, security, and expertise are all that some dream of in their career. To me they are at once dreamy and stifling. I hunger for challenge and novelty. For the advancement of life through major changes and big events.

In my current state I have a great job with a great career in a great field. I am making a difference on a national and sometimes world stage. I have a retirement plan that pays me 20% of my salary. I have a large salary. I have a sense of job security and growth through modern innovative programs.

At a time in my life when I had no career, no money, and desperately sought direction. Washington DC provided me with that. It gave me something more to. Comfort in myself. Time to be. A chance to enjoy the benefits of a charmed life. I have enjoyed my charmed life, but at the same time realized that it’s not for me.

I need the charm but also realize that it is something I can easily attain. No more do I feel the insecurity of worth or achievement. Instead I feel the drive and need to explore myself and how I fit in the world around me. I feel a chance before me to go beyond the simply great. I feel a chance to explore the depths of genius and brilliance. And in the words of the composer Lukas Foss “I want to go all the way”.

Life changes.
Hearts grow.
Minds crave.
Growth and change comes with every passing moment and as I recognize my moment I feel the intense desire to burst forward into the future.
