Drinking Your Dreams

Drinking Your Dreams



Drinking sounds
Attractive
Until the
Next
Day


When Dreams
hopes
At least
 Are
Smashed
Over
Casual
Dinners

After a
Weekend of
Intoxicated
Moments

With her
Fully
Vested
trust
Hands held
And
Faith
Envisioned

For that
Same
Acquaintance
And
Focused
Ideas
At least
Hopes

Thoughts
On what
She wants

Isn't
What she
Desires

Dinners
Scheduled
Like
Meetings
Meals
Throughout
The week

Cooking
Requires
Thought

While
Dinning
Requires
Credit

And if
for
A build
Up
Of driving
Her
Fancy car


I suppose
Warrants
More
Than
Friendship

Let alone
Dreams
Wasted
Like
last weekend
Was she

Beauty of Age

Beauty of Age

Defining
Titles and
Numbers
Separates
Those
From 
Others

For numbers
Counted
In age
Adds
Up
Greater
Than

Others
Self
Reliance 
Yet 
Accountable
For most
More
Than ones

Self
Selfless
Love
For age
Carries
Beauty
However
Unrealized

Outside
But inside
The
Soul

Accountable
On 
More hands
And feet
Available

Wittiness 
Knowledge
Attractive
Smarts
Carry
More 
Than 

Sexy
Words 
Can
Describe
Yet

Age
Is still
A number

A number
On the 
Outside

Regardless 
Of the
Same
Feeling 
Inside

On the 
Heart

Rinse & Repeat

Rinse & Repeat

Cold water
Washes out stains
And awakens
The mind
When we try
To sleep

But wash out
Her
Thoughts
And memories
Hot or cold

Sometimes
You just can't 
Rinse
And
Repeat

Dress up
Dress down
Leave town

Because in
The end
Water
Only sets 
Stains
And
Solidifies
Memories

And 
Doesn't
Release 
Them

Loft Parties

Loft Parties

Expensive purchases
Short sales
A loft
In my possesion

Square footage
For
Bookshelves
Art
To be
Hung 

Wine
Racks
To admire

Soundless
Division 
Among 
Open space
To create
Open ideas

Loft parties
Gather
Galleries
Of women
Clothed
In dresses

Fancy tastes
Or distastes
Of others

Drinks 
Mixed
Strong 
And
Champagne 
In
Plastic
Cups

Because 
Classy
And hipster
Intermix

Party all
Night
Into the
Wee hours

But 
Still up to
Appreciate
Sunrises

The 
Summer solstice
They say

Time
To
Live 
It
Up
Just
Once
More

In lofts 
Wishing
To be
Old
But
Living
To be
Young

Shared Covers

Shared Covers

Guess when you
Get too
Tired
Your
Mind
And
Thoughts
Mix up
Emotions

And when
Warm
Shoulders
Suffice
Even
In the
Darkest
of
Nights
And earliest
of mornings

The
Conversations
Somehow
Mean
More
When
Covers
Are
Shared

The Air Up There

The Air Up There

First class cabins
Resurrected
Thoughts
Ideas
Marinated
Over
Stewardesses
And their
Drinks with
Ice
To numb
The pain

Handshakes
Greeted
With business
Cards
Elevator
Pitches
And booze

Glassware
No pretzels
Full time
Service

High up
Enough
To get
High
Unconscious
Thoughts
Of her
While
Changing
Altitudes
View points
And
Business ideas

But
We grow
Up in
The air
For it's
Different
Up here

Because
Life
Starts at
Take off

and
Ends
When
You
Land

Separation Hurts

Separation Hurts

At the
End of
Nights
Beginnings
 of Mornings
It's
What's
Expected

Relationship
Wise
I mean
Checkins
Facebook
Posts
Parole
Officers

I'd trust
Her
But not
myself

iPhones
Ankle bracelets
Cold
Sheets
soft hearts
and
Half empty
Beds

Corruption
Without
Money
Yet love
Built across
Bridges
States
Countries

The feelings
Alike
Lost
In translation
In my head

My soul
Questions
My opinions
My toughest
Critic

Opposed
To my
Own
Self worth
If not to
Share

Shackled
Though by
Distance

Separation
Hurts
