Midnight simplicity


it's simple really
my love for u
u make me smile
make my breath heavy

heaving i pull u close 2 me
and sigh when u lay your head where it's s'posed 2 b

i just happen 2 love u
near and close 2 me
often in spite of where u ought 2b

i prefer u w/ me

note #29
when i call you don't answer

and when i don't call you don't call either

i think of you all the time

used to hope you'd one day be mine

i realize at the time you had no clue who i was

that's why i put myself in the circle of your hug

got to know you through professional situations

found you way beyond imagination

where we've come is nowhere far

but quite close to where we are

you're this great man i know

perhaps i'm that former associate you sometimes hug for show

but whatever it is and whatever we will be

i know i love you

and at least i think you love me

note #17
sometimes
(and i find it an often sometimes)
i really prefer to not be around
people other than myself

especially following artistic expressions of someone else's self

i don't like having to explain myself
don't feel like i should have to
do not like feeling challenged
especially not for no good reason

and sometimes i dislike loud laughter
and don't like announcements

sometimes i just want to be alone

i could look at you all day long

i cd look at you all day long...

with my eyes open i see the face of a boy turned man too quick
eyes lost and found in a life waiting to be lived
set and still hoping for peace and passion

with my open eyes i see feet fast movin on stubborn concrete
trekking towards a something in the distance
getting nearer and nearer every day

i could look at you all day long and all day here is what i'd see

with my eyes closed i feel
lost and found like a fish outta water
throat closing while i'm hoping for water to find me again
so i can swim free

i see darkness opening wide
breaking with the newness of day
turning twisting and contorting as i wrestle with the reality that you are my sea

yes

eyes have these sounds before heard
lips have seen
arms have spoken these ballads i sing to you

when i look at you
i see me
and i don't have to worry about the possibility of bein free

i can just be me
