Up waiting, waiting for what? The next shoe to drop, For her to ease up, The bill to come due, The kid to throw-up, The expectation to be lowered, The cough to subside, The lights to go out, The skin to tremble, mmm, The skin to tremble.

Ideally, Really
Ideally and really, sometimes align, most fine when they do, magic, But more times than not, not so the case, ideally disappears like vapor on a windy day, That is to say, really being serious, really sure something is gonna come up the blows up the norm, expectation, no reason to think otherwise really, Then …
Movie Feelings
Sometimes movies, the themes, the words the actions speak, sometimes they give us the parallels that help us explain things, to ourselves, if no one else. Recalling an early scene in the movie Top Gun. Navy fighter pilots on patrol over the Indian Ocean, engaged suddenly by Soviet MiGs, one American pilot somehow cracks after …
Do It Again
Kinks song comes to mind, whenever I grow weary, somehow it gives me a little boost, “ Standing in the middle of nowhereWondering how to beginLost between tomorrow and yesterdayBetween now and then And now we're back where we startedHere we go round againDay after day I get up and I sayI better do it …
Zero Inbox?
Not oft achieved in my work world, nevermind personal email, But when it happens? If you’re able to get there well, Maybe celebrate it, and even acknowledge the sense of calm and accomplishment it invokes, Zero Inbox, GOOD.

Relief In The Bits

Darkness & Intimacy
Seems preferred, darkened environs, magical somehow, This winter time, early dusk, late dawn, a secret pleasure, Lying early, late with you, warm, safe, thankful, Pray never end though know not so, Not so long until it comes again, another chance to feel it, be it again, Content with you, me together, no tether needed, tied …
Love To Linger
Let it be so again and again, linger a while, the longer the better, Last one to leave, soak up every last bit of convo, to the last drop, Darkness inviting, smooth, soft sheets, one more glass, let’s split it, More time with you always seems better, not bitter, not ever, Wish it could be …
