I sit here at the keyboard every night, just trying to pour out every last drop of the day.

Jigsaw
How can I be happy
With the world at large?
I know better,
I’ve seen the box
This puzzle came with,
Have you?
Pieces scattered everywhere,
People mistaking blue backing
For sky.
Newspapers for clouds,
Writing on the wall
For anything but
Writing on the wall.

Welding 101
Person 1: “Why are you always hugging me?”
Person 2:” A teacher once told me that you can’t weld anything together except metal. I just really want to prove them wrong.”

Rain or Shine
When I was just a lad
I used to sleep outside.
I’d shut the door on my bedroom
Walk out to the backyard.
Sleep there all night long,
All year long,
After dad left
It was the only way I knew
To be closer
To that different better father.
Rain or shine
You still called me “mine.”

Pancakes
At break of day
I was already at work
And you peaked over the hills
Just to scald my gaze.
Sunrises are just like that,
Heavy and furious peaches,
Sunsets more like strawberries settling
On to the pancake of my dreams.

Ladder
I’ve taken many steps
Most of them in circles.
If I could pluck
Them from the ground,
String them up
In a great big line
Would it reach you?

Snow
Yesterday was rain
With polkadot asphalt,
The wind made a current
Sky turned white
And slowly descended.
Today is different
Frosty little tidbits
Floating down to earth.
Earth shivers at its touch
Just like a first kiss.
Liquid becomes solid
At the gentleness
Of your touch.
And you say to me,
“I colour the ground,
To remind you I’m around.”
