Hoppin' (Originally Posted 10/13/2010)

Like the beat and the bass

Like the tracks that common makes

You hop

And it’s bangin’

To hop
From one friend to the next
From this girl to that
From his friend
And back to him
From this bar and then
Suites
After hours spots for new meets
Just hoppin'

Can’t keep still
Adrenaline pumpin’
In need of a new thrill
Missing out on
Acquiring new skills
New knowledge
New networks
New words
New grounds
New heights
New lengths
Complacent with instant gratification
Lost in the drank that
Separates sanity from compulsiveness
You
Can't let go of the rhythm
Keep hoppin’
Keep loosin’
Time

You and I, Us, We

life bubbled

around the hope 

of two

you and I

us

we

the thought

trapped in my mind

love struggle

heart battles

the logical

and

I can't love you

I can't want you

but

somehow 

I do

but

you and I

us 

we

are not supposed to

be great

even though

we relate

love

is not our fate

yet

I find comfort in 

you

in the idea of 

hoping for better

therefore

I want to 

stay longer

in this space

blocking

reality 

so I can see 

the potential

of 

you and I

us 

we

and

I smile 

at the possibility

until 

I realize

I can't be 

optimistic

because nothing 

will ever come of 

you and I 

us

we

are better off

hoping

and loving separately

Lit Fire

the dark

turned to light

struck match

now

shadows illuminated

you and I

turned to we

so in sync

pure ectasy

every touch

hug

kiss

rub

we 

find endless pleasure

increased desire

to love longer

breathe harder

and
in every moment of you

I found 

a better me

but this can't be...

it's too soon

yet 

we frequent the moon

in bliss

and I never want to leave you

then I come to

and wish that you

had never struck the match

that some how

created fire

with a burnt fuse
