Imperfectionist Love

Folder: 
2005

Glare of glazed eye love

I’ll spread the icing on your lens

Infinite is sunburned grass replaced

With a yellow blanket

It’s the sunset that your iris communicates

With a gingham basket permitting the silence

It’s the balance act I do

Spread out your arms with a closed umbrella

And walk across this narrow platform with me

Infinite is a sign language in the form of silent art

Smiles that sprout individually down the line

Of the name tag friends

Like an impromptu melody

Every tear and laugh cupped in a jar.

Every time an understanding makes it past my front door.

Infinite is the birds’ eye view of our world below

At a midnight perspective

At a window seat, my lamplight for one

I’ll write something he’s never intended to read

Dots are houses not yet asleep

Kitchen lights with an insomniac going for

Another glass of water she doesn’t even need

She’s got her cup of ice by her bedside

From where I am, I can melt instability

I can sprinkle empathy

Tiptoeing only to his very room

Glitter enticing imperfections and tap the unintended story

While he sleeps and dreams of my lines and stanzas

Back to a jet plane to appreciate randomocity

Windows can shed emotions as well

Beaded rain on the glass will have dances

With it’s lip lop drip beat

S l o w l y

Then erupting a vein-like river

Before being ripped into thin air

Follow a song around me

Omnisciently Omnipresent

Remind me this is how it has to be.

Imperfections make the world go ‘round.  

A sewn patch on the knee of my jeans

Kind of love.
