POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Second Glance
As I conjugate my verbs I lock eyes with the one person I want to see. If I catch her looking back is she looking at or through me?
Her scent assaults my nostrils and I can feel the sweat begin to pour. If she sent her scent my way does she want to send me more?
Could I begin to understand flirting if I view it as a game? If I lose the game I was taught does the teacher take the blame?
I've tried to understand the opposite sex, but to no avail. It's very lonely in my head and my heart is just as frail.
CBT helped in no way as I'm just as sweaty when...

Neurotypical Day
Today, I count the minutes until my shift ends. No drug can compare to the addiction of hate for the 9 - 5.
Vanilla melodies drown out the noise at the vending machine that is always occupied.
I've learned to fool the masses into believing I can relate to any number of subjects that are foreign to me.
If I stare long enough they may believe I have no secret to keep. Maybe not.
Knock, knock. Who's there? Not my attention, Dennis.

Impression
I've seen the good, and I've seen the bad. I've never been happier than when I'd been had.
My life took a twist and my life took a turn. My life knows what it is to lose what I had to hold.
I've seen the light and I've seen the dark. It was the brightness of you that lit the spark.
If you could forgive and you could forget I'm sure that a wedding we would set.
I'd never forsake you. I'd never leave. This heart is yours that I wear of my sleeve.
Our destiny sits within your hands. My heart is as full as the bottle fills the sands.
You'll never know how much I miss...

Nightingale
A midnight full of potential that lets me down without notice.
I've touched eternity without admission in hopes of a reprieve from a destiny that eluded me.
A shade of blue that masks suicide from within.
Love couldn't save her from herself. Love won't save me.
I purchased a romance that was out of my price range.
Destiny as it seems holds a grudge against those less fortunate.

More or less
Walking down a path I know very well, but have not seen in an eternity.
Memories of this room are stretched longer than what I stand looking at.
Her scent still lingers in my nostrils from a time unattainable.
As I clean out the closet I am overtaken by a feeling I had not appreciated the lessons that made me the person I am today.
Childhood was a mere test of her character that deserved recognition.
I'd give anything to taste the milk of my youth if only to experience her smile one more time.

Overflow
A bleached blonde sunset that arrogates my depression.
I've outgrown the inability to smile at the joke with no punchline.
Listening to the noise on the radio is enough to bring anyone to an emotional crash.
My phone weighs much less without the numbers that did not belong in the first place.
I've found nirvana in making a new best friend in myself.
Turn inward for inner peace and the rest will fall into place.
