Travels in a Dreamey World

Bring Only a Carryon I sit down and Write a list Of all my baggage Not sure what's missed But I know it's me This is what I embrace To move forward I can't be a nut case I need to understand I need to put behind Not move forward And be totally blind. As I move from one Relationship to another Some of that baggage In need to smother. Conclusions can be drawn It takes more than brawn To bring only a carry-on Then, I am a true swan. The C-Word How do I say it What words to use The wrong choices Will only lead to abuse It's all in what We chose, the words It can often feel It's gone to the birds The silence follows It can feel forever The entire time feeling We are so cleaver Just like a glacier And expected ablation the true erosion Relations fail, No Communication. Friends Like These I want friends like these: Who are themselves, Not ones who cower And sit on a shelf. I want friends who laugh, I want friends who share, I want friends who love, I want friends who care. It’s the people with Stained and dirty shirts And the ones with Way too short skirts. It’s the people with Passionate ideas Something isn't what it seems Not even Tortillas. It’s the people who Simply say hello To complete strangers, It isn't a deathblow. It’s the people who party With crystal and china And don't act like a broken Piece creates angina. It’s the people who party With Solo and Dixie And don't apologize Less likely to break when tipsy. It’s the people who Pull out the popcorn When there’s drama Not feed the fire with scorn. It’s the people who say "Bring what you want" Everything’s covered A bigger table is the daunt. It’s the people who ran Out the door unwashed Not often, but enough Not allowing ribbing squashed. It’s the people who want Pizza covered chaotic One never knows What will turn erotic. It’s the people who Have their own thoughts And let me have mine Then we connect the dots. I want friends like these, I want friends with flare, I want friends themselves, This is my prayer. Living Without From where I sit It's a cold, cold place But as promised I'm giving you space. I know you wanted it, In a way I did too, It's a great world out there So much is new We were together And then we weren't Now to think back Realize what I've learnt. The times weren't all bad, The times weren't all good, Each in our own way Ready for Sainthood. I have much to give, I have much to thank, So much at times I freeze and blank. Getting there will happen. Getting there the goal. Now that we are separate I can save my soul.  Out of the Blue I'm not that good, I'm not that kind, I'm not what you want No need to remind. You wanted good, Pointed out my flaws, Very subtle at first You deserved applause. You wanted kind, It wasn't hard, Til with triggers You started to bombard. You wanted me, For that I started, But overtime That departed. You walked away It was best to do Easiest for both Out of the blue. I wish you well Regardless of all As you vanish I realize how small. In the Moment The lights sparkle The lights dance I close my eyes Feelings enhance The beat flows The beat surrounds I sway back and forth Feeling confounds All thoughts go All thoughts flee I'm moving to the groove For all to see My mind doesn't care It's me in the moment Don't care if you stare The feeling washes over The feelings carry The more infuses The more I tarry All thoughts gone This moment only.
