I came to tell you to relax

 I'm there with you son
next to you
As you live and learn
Speak sometimes I hear
disappointment in your voice

I came down just to join you for a day
I shared those feelings of not being good enough
Those feelings of not matching up
Not being chosen

Noone's prize
A man is supposed to be brave and uncaring
Accepting that he won't be the focus
That he isn't a present but an intruder

Who is tolerated because he can keep it safe
Son you are now that intruder
The world will be suspicious
life and people just exist to test your days

Maybe the times when life was unbearable
enemies and more painfully friends plotted
Noone gave you a chance and many just belittled you
So you could know the pole of negativity the lowest rock bottoms

That you might rise up and claim the most empowering glories now
Through their meaness and wrath they did you a favor
For now you can really feel the total opposite
So you might just rejoice and shine your light

recover and suddenly flourish through these years now
get on top of life, get on the world unstoppable
You heard me say son Life's tough at the top
Life is so good complaining seems misplaced

No amount of debt or bad luck will ruin your life son
Life just keeps on going only the details change
The illusion is that you can lose but there is no losing
Becoming a loser is still a goal for some, but son not you

You win and keep winning, you don't always see the evidence
All the force inside and out joins to make it all happen
Even randomness pitches in now and again
Life is still a blessing all flowers bursting with nectar

cool the heart heat the mind and keep it all smooth as smooth can be
Blue sky kick off in the morning rock the world with optimism
Keeping up that movement with all those good things you got on
Enjoy the everyday rushand calm and predictable rotation

part of the breeze life nad vigor intact
secret reason unexposed unknown
you don't need to know life's mystery
some you'll find out, they will explode

Some will never come to light and that's sweet sweet cup too
One you should drink from acceptingly
Birds on the powerline chirping is their priority
Happy go lucky in the meaningless noise of it all 

Give me that coolness

 Comfort is distant
I ponder reprieve
The day cold but life's hot drama
So lend me your winds

You sky don't owe me anything
But give me that coolness
Let me manifest it as if it were inside my chest
Trick me quick happinesses flat joys

Cheerful bird's call
Give me a little piece of that
So much of this early summer
So much

You give me so much
Almost everything I ask for
I feel blessed
I am grateful

Silhouette of sweat

Sun flirts with slumber.
Sand, fire of anticipation.
she is surrender.
Bare and sprawled,
across the verander

Tide reverses to go after.
Approaching for a better look.
Observing world flatters
But she is recharging,
external no longer matters

A blinding seam where sun and sky met
The salt spray makes stomach growl
Heat confronts sweat
Which wood absorbs through towel
Thirst is urgent debt

Pale skin tans and blends
wave lips advance to kiss
Lifts herself leaving damp so pleasant
The sea cursed the sun with a hiss
Sun bore down, dried up her essence

Stagnelius and Desire

 Begär var tänkt att vara din frälsning.

Desire desire come complete me.
An unreasonable giant poised and mean.
Crossing the land of tiny routine glum.
Bland obligation and contemplation therefrom.

Desire my mind and heart push me beyond.
have me seek have me conquer new dominion.
Desire navigate me toward your sweet oblivion.
Flood me so that i might flood the world.

Smash through my resistance allow the hidden face to assume.
Allow me to drink and taste the scent and temptation.
Desire convince me that you are my unique salvation.
My savage frantic will for enticement.

Melt these glaciers embrace the world entirely in fevered heat.
May I never deny or regret! nay, never avoid or retreat.
Desire come come, do dance do play!
Let me taste the journey as you lead me astray.

The contempt of Daldin

 Faint flicker of a smile
fused into his mouth
"I told you so" shape
comissure treachery

Curled edge of it knowing
As if to kiss my awkward moment
He presents ill views of me
yet no evidence does he give

I watch to see if his tongue forks
His cupids brow works the pilthrim
Casting sarcastic sorcery
In words, my underperformance

He secures his savage snicker
Delivers consensus of negative opinions
His voice climbs an octave
Hands me a document as if gift

I have two weeks
must return company property
Emits a micro-scoff
Throws me a pen playfully

"You are fired"

Spider might river

 The river replete with spiders and ticks
That somehow survived underwater
Those who bathed would be infested
Leaving the river in screams of horror

From the margin noone could guess
That inside the water spawned such nasties
Insane arachnids pervading between rocks
Swarming near the jetty

people looked on disappointed
in their swimming shorts confused
A look on their face of desire
Desire to enter the water

A constant doubtful murmur
equal to the babble and churn of the river
 

Born again on the cat floor

 The cat floor 
a The kitten leaves itself behind
Slowly becoming a cat
At first a tiny creature

It is struggling
In two parts
Inside it's new body
It's old body abandoned

Tiny and fragile
rolling over the thick carpet
An insomniac baby
hunting it's tail

It pines humans
and quick movement
It wants to forget it's carcass
To feel whole in it's new body
