Spring Has Sprung
Spring Has Sprung
Marsha and I lay on the yellow sandy creek beach looking at the pink glow of sunrise in the eastern sky. She reclines on her side facing me. I am supine in the sublimity of spring. We are both twenty and too old for wading in the creek. But spring has sprung and the desire to get more than our feet wet is strong. Marsha’s irises are azure as glacial ice. Her complexion is that of French vanilla. Her hair is like fine corn silk which lusters in the summer sun. Her hair giggles when she walks.
At St. Catherine Creek the water appears on fire and...

Yours Forever
I'm not known as a leaver.
I'm known as a loyal dog.
One that stays even if mistreated.
Even if it means heartache for me,
I'll still wag my tail for you.
I'll come when called upon.
That's mostly due to my naivety,
Me not realizing what's about to happen.
So when you asked me if I'd ever leave you,
If I would stay with you always,
I laughed because it seemed absurd to ask me that.
It screamed déjà vu.
So loudly in the back of my mind.
It's not the first time I hear this scream.
I laughed because I tried to drown it. ...

The First Step
I have seen happiness
In the eyes of many
Who live this life
They are able to give
Their children what they want
They are able to go buy what
They want, within budget
They find a partner with similar
Aspirations and things work out
They are happy
That is all that matters
That your smile is genuine
That your heart isn't heavy
And you feel full of life
But the thing is
I know that there is more
This is not a matter of
Chasing the bigger deal
But what I feel inside of myself
I...

Victim of Nothing, I am a Survivor (instrumental by Mors)
I could give this all up fall in love with a new life
Got a new view of a new tribe
What did I do to deserve this new life
looking back percs in petty sacks
Off white china in .1 packs
Point of all this is I took it the max
Could this one book keep me from the casket
God my life has been so tragic
Never enough
Never felt love like I did from the dub
Took it and run like I'm never coming back god
Never looking back on it living in the past, nah Imma let it go
Let it all go I'm a new individual ...

the divorce pages~blue
blue ache has come upon me
colorful rain take my sadness from my soul
it weeps...I don't
indifference...all pretenses
I know I hurt you
in the end, it's you who needed me
I never saw that coming
love me a little less
tell me you'll be alright
my heart is heavy
I never wanted to hurt you
can you see me baby early twenties?
fresh and in love
it was going to be forever
cliche, cliche, cliche
I gave up on you
waited by the phone
when you were busy playing
you need dedication...

Neptune
They say... you hurt the one you love the most
(But I guess I did)
I just don't know, your memory is like a ghost
I live with it every day, always touching me
Something I just can't seem to set free
(Just set it free)
Yesterday, we were like two shooting stars
Until we crashed and burned with so many scars
Today will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be yesterday
It's been hard but we lived... lived through it anyway
You were my Venus, until the moon’s fray
Now I’m stranded here on Mars ...

Excursion
Was it
one
two
three day outing?
He can't remember;
his thinning memory betrays him...
It, surely, was a group outing
- that photo proved it -
a photo he does not possess,
a photo he, certainly, had seen
a long time ago...
Summertime
in bathing suit
seated on a beach chair
perhaps, at a near by island
surrounded by
three, or four, or five girls...
Who were they?
Neighborhood friends?
Classmates?
But, what high school from?
For his life, he cannot conclude...

our soul fractals in fusion
my vital serosa
in fluidic & freefalling dreaminess
patinated of unformatted flaccidities
are amoebically flexing figments …transmuting
as shrinking microbe across passing pointed porosities
to gigantic mystical bird flapping as enlarged eternities
in swimmed flights across the abstracting
skies, in uproariously gushing jetstreams
unceasingly singing as scriptless language
yet your orthodoxically frozen
adventitious ligamenting athletic rigidities
are armours deeply alloying with~ within
(s)melting...

Catfish
Again, it has come to my attention that there are people here who are operating on this site as catfish with ill intentions.
I won’t name names, however, a man on a profile started talking to me for some time, and it has only just been revealed that the man is in fact a woman, and/ or vice versa as they revealed their other profile.
So. He, who was in fact a she or pretending to be one; was masquerading as a man and a woman.
Hmm. Men and women; be very very careful who you communicate with; that’s all I can say as there are men...
