Motivation

You’re the cold dew on the grass that soaks my shoes as I run by,

The nervous chattering of squirrels clinging to limbs after failed flight,

The clanking of weights not racked right,

A long sigh heard over turned up headphones,

A shaky, jittery, nervousness that I feel deep in my bones,

Those long days listening to my obligations tick by,

You’re a release of excitement when it’s finally that regularly scheduled time,

Another chance to overcome disappointment if I cannot find my voice,

A combination of delusions that you want to make that choice,

A sidelong glance as sweat drips down my eye,

You’re the motivation to keep going, you’re my inner drive.

Wishful Thinking

Lofting away in my wishful thinking,

Melting into the ice that you're drinking,

Conjuring an all-consuming and ridiculous, blind-passion,

Until reality asked fate to serve me in rations,

Missing that Earth shattering, life-changing, devouring love,

Don't misunderstand, it's not for you that I strove,

What I long for has nothing to do with our downfall,

I just wish I could feel that way again at all.

Closer...

Ungst Ungst Ungst...

I'm going to re-title my blog, "Things I want on my playlist."

Dear Gym Crush,

It’s the spilt dinner on my linoleum floor,

A smashed finger in the front door,

Laundry that just won’t dry,

It’s the crack I tripped over as I walked by,

I could brush all of these little tragedies away,

If I just had the guts to talk to you today…

Fall's Chase

You’re the cold dew in the morning

That soaks my shoes as I walk by,

The familiar unease that quickens my heart

At the sight of a square jawline,

You’re the clanking sound of weights at the gym,

The musty smell of too many bodies around me

As I watch for your towering form.

You are honey brown eyes that warm a room,

You’re an ice cold demeanor cloaking teddy bear cuddles,

You’re the infiltration of all my awareness,

The potent alcohol that leaves me muddled.

You’re the smile that caught me off guard,

An elusive dream I’ve held onto during

The heat of another long humid summer,

My only constant in a land full of thunder.

And when fall chases away our summer,

I’ll continue to build my courage,

So that by December’s first frost,

This crush I’ve built won’t be lost.
