outstretched




I’ve been one to keep
wanting and waiting for things
just beyond my reach.

into the unknown
from out of the familiar
let us now venture.

missed opportunity 100



sometimes when i’m bored,
there’s a girl who makes me think
i wouldn’t be anymore
if only i extended
the slightest of gestures.

i could ask her name,
her favorite color, or something
- anything to break the ice;
but i’m married to the habit
of wanting, not getting.

doesn’t matter how accessible
her smile may seem, or her heart may be;
i always find a way to settle
for far, far less
- and yet so much more -
than i could ever get.

(brought to you by the words bored, habit and settle)

3 a.m. at the Holly Brook



the last call crowd found me
gazing, through the window, outside.
last time here i gazed at you,
no interest in the passersby.

but things change;
glad your dad’s doing better
- unlike that night
when you were frightened
by uncertainty,
and nothing pleased me
more than simply
being
             there
                          for you.

unrequited 2.5



lonely evergreen
though I pine for her,
I know she’s an evergreen,
a cold weather tree.
