Thoughts in Portland


Distance Makes No Difference To The Heart

Behind my smile
have you ever thought
that I've been thinking of you
and what we could do
if we had the time 
to find some common ground
beneath our feet and beyond 
what we already share? 
I don't mind telling you this,
I just wish I could tell you 
face to face
but I'm just a fool who
daydreams about you.
See beyond what the eyes have to show
and look inside to know
if this could be real or if I should
let this become a permanent daydream.



We always reveal the most tender part of ourselves 
to those least likely to care.


My throat has become a raw wound aching at the world.

The Wait

The Wait

it is amazing what
nervous energy
will do to you.
the anticipation
of the coming moments
is what causes the mind
and body to reel at
the thought of what
is to come.
