How Do We Decide?

What happens when we realize,

there’s really no reason to deny

the feelings we have,

how our imagination

wants to drill us

or suck us down some

long and deep well

where fear and confusion

hold strong the ropes

that led us down this path.

How do we decide?

What if each one of us

stood into the wind

and let the beauty of nature

take us in the wind.

If only we knew,

we wouldn’t hurt ourselves.

Do You Write Stories?

She asked me that while looking in my eyes

I said I do only to sound sort of wise.

I went back to look and nothing made sense

So badly i wanted to give this love a chance.

~

She told me my stories frightened her,

she thought they classified a pattern.

I wanted only her appeal to a passion,

a heartfelt solution to her indecision.

~

Seems our lives are easily triggered

that noticeable desire deferred

Seems only now can we appreciate

the very love we so quickly negate.

~

I wanted her to know my love is true

Instead we cascaded deep into a blue.

Precision

I’m sitting here now,

in the quiet untold

how readily

a sense of anxiety I choose.

Who am I why am I

is it always only true.

Who do I hurt,

why do I hurt,

there’s a constancy

with a mania

outside of the norm.

Always questions remain,

my self confidence

Is it true or a ruse.

I can never be responsible

for knowing,

though I would every corner

concede.

I only wish a peace,

not a lot to ask

given the years of

persecution.

Is that it now,

am I defining myself?

Or perhaps it is a

penchant for precision,

always getting in the way.

In the notes

I’m meant to travel,

so I always try to

hang on,

remember those moments that help secure

a sense of well being,

a confidence

as that seems all of our desire.
