Simple


I made a wish
and
I buried it in my pillow pile
that night is where you sat
with your half smile
no thought
all other voices drown
your eyes spoke
while I was speaking
you were something new
I was all over you like confetti
you responded kindly
I am usually the stubborn kid
but gave in like I was allergic to turning away
your name is the sound of spring
making everything grow
there is curiosity in my fingertips
from the red paint
carry me in
that's the wink
cast your spell
easily

Let's Go


when the day gets funny
in the middle or at the end
like a fool I smile
blue haunts me
so I will laugh in the yellow
like bricks on the outside
like sand on the inside
don't slip into the past because you're tired
sinking with the questions
take your ear plugs out
your heart will go HUSH
and I will sing for you
don't get lost in the way things are designed
it's never to be understood
with only one set of legs
walk through never around
nothing left in the fight
no gloves
just love
just light

Windy City Lady


I started off in a beautiful place
that carries a wind that bites your face
my childhood was left behind there
who I was becoming is all that I would hear
shared everything that was born
my ideas wore bells and horns
seasons were colors that I used to paint
experiences that could only belong to my fate
more than one way to move within the busy streets
architecture that makes my house look incomplete
neighborhoods that designed their place on the map
energy that doesn't know how to take a nap
my old room where all of the ghosts stay
they miss me because I choose to live in today
I took the things I believe
are me
with me
along with the light from my favorite city
I can take a plane to my friends
so I can feel a heart to call home again
a light that reaches out to me
even when it gets too dark to see
never fading
I am your Windy City Lady

-B

Cloudy


so far
it's been one dimensional
don't know where to take myself
hanging around
huge case of nerves
not knowing love
has made it tough
breaking up the day
with private walks
long daydreams
forgotten meals
time is nobody's friend
I am on my own
natural coward , taught loner
people are the strangest things
I belong to music and stuff
they have funny ways of saying things
my way of advertising my opinion
is
impossible sense
so far

The Reminders


beautiful life
shines when I need it the most
loyal friends
with handfuls of love
mouthfuls of interest
rattles my heart when it falls asleep
with
heavy eye lids
never used to being alone
beautiful life
makes me full of light
never want to rest again
inertia
running on adrenaline
thank you

29


new home
no regrets
seasons that dress me
new love
closer to my roots
ready for change
inspired
poet,artist,musician
I am
ready
it is time for me
this curiosity
is demanding me
moving closer to the place in the window
bigger things are kept there
not leaving anything
taking it all with me
ready to step outside of the dream
the unknown is where I will be

Experience


lets say forget it together


you don't talk to me
I don't bother

I was there the whole time
and I faded on purpose

is it wrong that all of the times we shared fixed themselves to bad ideas
why couldn't we just be

this question chased me like a swarm of bees
I noticed you shaking hands with bad habits
never clean


my desire for you went missing
our careless plans

wasn't what I wanted
experience is what was left over
you can borrow my helmet
I don't need it

Happy Monday


the only thing which calms your hands long enough to embrace another is a pen, or a steady moment where you mouth the words of a truth you might not even understand

Daydream


if I could I would have asked you if you wanted to go for a walk
a nice stroll walking beside you
then the stars would shine
the moon would hang heavy and full
the lights in the streets would have lead the way
my God you take my breath away
I never felt so scared
never felt so alive
the night offers so much
lost in that
strawberry red faced when you're around
you put a spell on me
is this ours for the showing
that is between me and the dreams
we're getting along
remember you and your eyes

Happy Friday

HERE


let the wheel turn
in a moment
laughing inside
there is no other
saying it now
all together
I can hear you
stand still
breathe
almost perfect

Silent Future



like trees swaying in the wind
I am still deciding about you
my feelings won't stand still
ambiguity
grey matter
latent prophecies
no way to tell


you seem unafraid
I noticed
your eyes smile


I am not used to making promises
although
I am a little more convinced as the days pass by
your name is more obvious than ever
words are scarce when you are close


only our four eyes and hands moving around
not sure but that's alright
won't talk myself out of it
won't run
I am just studying your soul
so I will take my time
breathe
allow myself to hold your hand
let it become real
the rest is a story

Poem


“One clear night while the others slept, I climbed
the stairs to the roof of the house and under a sky
strewn with stars I gazed at the sea, at the spread of it,
the rolling crests of it raked by the wind, becoming
like bits of lace tossed in the air. I stood in the long
whispering night, waiting for something, a sign, the approach
of a distant light, and I imagined you coming closer,
the dark waves of your hair mingling with the sea,
and the dark became desire, and desire the arriving light.
The nearness, the momentary warmth of you as I stood
on that lonely height watching the slow swells of the sea
break on the shore and turn briefly into glass and disappear …
Why did I believe you would come out of nowhere? Why with all
that the world offers would you come only because I was here?”

The World I Live in

Sigh

Note to Self

Art requires attention to the work not the person.The most marvelous things happen when you don’t do anything but observe.

Hero


poor student. goofball.
probably best friends with God. Probably makes God laugh too much.
had an amazing sense of humor. maybe because “we are all emotionally at the level of the last grade we finished.”
oh…….also made it possible for every human being to understand the laws of physics and had this weird idea about relativity.
so I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t blow his parents money to party at nice schools.
my hero.
