Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...

I see your face
flirtatious with the sun
how do you look all day without
blinking
I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

ooops! Hmmm....Lain....one syllable....does that mean I can choose my own second one?
lain down
amongst the leaves
I feel the autumn breeze
lift me swirling into the sky
so blue

so blue
within your eyes
i step in, find myself
floating in deep pools of azure

liquid
thunder held brief
wild wet rain falls hard
crowded clouds gather in motion
stand still
stand still
and catch snowflakes
on the tip of your tongue,
on your fingertips, and on your
eyelids

the window shades
of the soul, what happens
behind them ain't no one's business
but mine
but mine
was first, and last
but not those things that lie
in between, unwanted things, sad,
unseen

yet here it is
beyond the sight of now
touched with fingertips ice cold blue
hungar
hunger
within my soul
to reach for higher ground
ever distant, ever misty,
afar

on a crescent
moment, an absence of
stirrings of the mind, singular

thinking
not a good thing
when your brain is a mess
dangerous excuses lull you
to wake

to wake
within a dream
wondering if we're still
drifting quietly, bound between
the shores
