sorry, who's calling please?

hearing your voice
over the telephone
after such a long time
made me feel like
a million cannons
just filled the sky
with the brightest flowers

life disclaimer

this is a rain or shine event
you're supposed to smile either way
the world can always do with more reverb
you're meant to take what you can get
this is a rain or shine event

kissed by the sun

on a cold day in march
i step outside the office
to discover the sun's warmth
just high enough in the sky
to peek over the condos
it showers a piece of sidewalk
with its brilliant radiance
i lean against the brick wall
tilt my head back
and close my eyes
the warmth washes over me
penetrating my eyelids
all i can see is orange
this is as close as i'll come
to feeling loved today
thankful to be
kissed by the sun

chrysalis

some days i feel like a widower
playing and replaying memories
which is pretty silly i suppose
because you are very much
still out there somewhere
living your life to the fullest
i'm just no longer a part of it
and i can never seem
to wrap my head around
the thought of us
coexisting only in the past tense
without the ability to create
new and meaningful memories
just know that you are very much
still in here somewhere
bouncing off the walls of my heart
i just can't bring myself to let you out

monday's are always a little more managable
when radiohead announces a new toronto date

spring cleaning may be in order

god bless her smiles
and her sightly curves
her overwhelming confidence
her
sex appeal

god bless her unwavering
commitment
to convey to me
in a single glance
that she's completely
uncommitted
and up for anything

when it comes
to this
fast-approaching
loneliness
i suppose i've no one to blame
but myself
and maybe you (of course)

hell, even if i were
to give you the night off
no - give myself
the night off rather
from you
and let her
crawl into my bed

surely she'd be almost naked
before you came into the picture
- literally

saying something along the lines of
who the fuck is that?
the girl in the photo
taped to the wall beside your bed?
you guys are all the same,
you know that?
you could have saved me the trouble
and just told me that you had a girlfriend

i'm pretty sure the door would slam
before i could even get the words out
but i don't
honestly
