Branching out

Haz bag will travel

" I stowz-away, nobuddy nozze"

If only I could jump in, feet first

Me: But my shoes will get wet

You: Take them off

Me: But this is how I am now

You: Then what will it take?

Me: I'll need to undo the laces

You: Then come undone, what you waiting for?

Me: I'll start but I'll need some time

You: I'll wait for you, we'll both be ready then

I once floated

sea water seeps through

my knotted aged veins

drenching my world

its salty, tormenting tongue

lapping gently on quiet summer days

rough and passionate on stormy nights

One of the most romantic sights in the world

Charles Bridge in Prague

sunkissed memories

your warmth

pentrates my bare skin

touched and cherished

submerged

in your rays of light

i crave more

even cowgirls get the blues

my cowboy hat
engulfed in blue

goes everywhere with me

the exposed frayed threads

in secret places

the lopsided manner in which it stands proudly,

jealously protecting a wild mass of golden curls

sheilding the unruly dangerous contents

from the outside world

i know this cowboy hat

it is mine

it protects me

it shields me

I keep it close to me

today it is wearing the blue sky above
