Poems by the Treejumper

Unrequited

The clouds pass over me

As you did

I liked to look up at both of you and imagine great things

But none of it was real.

Cure

Loosen your mind

Something broke off in there

Shake it with innocent cruelty

Like a child shakes a glass jar with a grasshopper inside

See what it does.

Something Beautiful In My Mind

Your soul,

As soft as your lips in my hair

Your large, hand-enveloping hands

Feel as good as your smile

Your eyes whisper

Something beautiful in my mind

These silent sounds

Tickle my heart

When you speak,

Your words stay in my veins,

In my circulation,

Around and around

They never leave

Recorded in my bones

Everything you do

Every complete scene

Every part of you that exists

Is recorded in my bones

Your body glows

Rivers of light from all your pores

I want to bathe in this light

Until your breath fills my lungs

Until my blood flows through your heart

Until my mind is indistinguishable from yours

And trying to tell the difference is too exhausting

So all we can do is lay down and float away

Rising with the sudden heat

Everything bursting into light

Falling back down

Thoroughly blissfully blinded and in love

My forehead touching yours

Lightly

Your closed eyes especially

Beautiful

That one moment.

Abandon

Music keeps me so alive

But there is a time the

song must die.

There is a time we all must

die,

A time when souls turn

to shadow dust

When ashes of fires

Are blown away by the wind

I'm not afraid of death itself,

But the sadness that

Swallows it whole

the whirlwind

That sweeps the land,

Leaving dismembered,

Mangled pieces

Of life, strewn desperate

On the earth

The life that is a song,

Beautiful,

And full of energy,

But there is a time the song must die.

These are only a few of the many poems I have collected from my friends and written personally, and they will change oh... monthly.
