Excuse me for staring

Excuse me for staring

A Poem by Jean-Pierre Garcia
"

Musing on a moment and reflecting on others.

"
The wind plays with some hair
wiping it side to side 
billowing
ballooning
bellows
below 

you'd think you hear it breezing by here and now
no, not a sound 
feeding into the waves 
oceanic riptides
staring out over brown strands
on beach sides found  
white washing a dock
and I can't stop to watch
gazing off into space
and star phasing the clock
off a Limon tuck
let's face it you suck

kiss deeply
within the blissful abyss
full of foolish lavishing
lashes batting in the halls- 
limbed caves
I tell you I'm not gay
I'm not unhappy though
I live in the space below a
crawling loft
taking it in
talking soft

I know what it means to be different
but so does everyone
what's the point of saying what there isn't to say
but thinking what there is to think
in bytes-I bite my hardware tongue
I hide it away from the sun
as it rises south where I left my friends
hosting instead the mountains and trees

Ultimately, abed a bet
 you reminded me of what I wanted to be

my friend orion 
I wait for you to cross the horizon
taking a breathed gasped every time
I want to see the stars shine
and the sunrise in your face
you can't have day without night
but each replaces another
ticking by and wrinkles show
down your nose in a smile
I hardly notice that we've been here awhile

the blue turns to green aglow
forensically turning tested
into tempted designing
rust resting infested

Burn out the sleep before you roll in the deep 
teeth tethered to grinds
axes too but you can't  grasp
d'extremity of the growing load 
Never setting aside what there is to know
like a fully developed photo
a vine grown
ravaging a crack 
a plate
tectonic
earthquake ripped like xbox
positive in your chest of hearts
semisonic in where to start

This is special! Something else love..I am truly transcended by your use of imagery!
Unbelievably so!
Amazing work...a moment with tender balance..you take it all and manipulate it to everything it could be/mean..
Stunning!

About
I'm a gnomic meanderer. I have just the right amount of neuroticism to lock myself in my room to write, but somehow have faked myself out of it by writing on the go or for the student newspaper I wo.. more..
