I'm sorry
I forgot to tell you
that I'm sorry
sorry I didn't know the amount of thick it" it took in your drink
if I did then maybe I wouldn't have coward away
I was able
had a vehicle
a new born baby
I could've brought him with me
but I was selfish
to worried about what was happening at home
worried about him
and my marriage crumbled anyways
until this day I remember seeing you in that bed
laying there mouth open
crusty lips , dry mouth
all because a stupid nurse didn't think you where worth oral care
I shouldn't have let Vava tell me not to ring that bell and tell them off
but you knew her fears better then me
she forever thought someone would harm you , her or me
just by voicing our opinions
but just that one time I shouldn't have listened
maybe you'd lasted another day
and the world would be picture perfect
because I wouldn't have killed myself to get where I am
I would slow down on the working
because I would have said more then just I love you vavoo
before I walked out that door
(It was to hard seeing you in that bed
I couldn't stay knowing they could've helped, but they left you stranded in that fucking room alone ,to die. and she wouldn't let me say a word
not one word.)
I would have said I'm sorry
and thank you
thank you for being my dad
for the walks to the store
picking cans with me just for a dollar
thanks for the money I didn't want
I'll use it one day
the day I forgive myself
until then I'll continue to do my best
treat everyone on those beds
as if they where you
know you're , forever missed
my loving vavoo!!
Love your lightbulb!! Xoxox

scary, this eldering stuff....
spent 11 months livin wit me Dad unto his sad ending
him just 22yrs older'n me...brought forth much reflexion about hurtling t'wards The End.
especially wit this crazy feeling that I didn't 'survive' my cardiac-calamities of 2000, & life's been ghostly strange ever since...but it seems so much'mo entertaining than anything I remember from 20th century,relatively-normal perceptivity.....but I can also make no assertion that memories from that era are 'accurate' or 'made up' in my unconscious...actually, all our memories are 'made up'. some of us might be more skilled in their fabrications....no such thing as human 'objectivity'.....i'm glad I've found some way(unconsciously) to laugh at me own pain wit'out condescending to those who can't do that. Compassion is better when unconditional to what 'wee think'.
that said........forgive yrself, kid....it's okay........

That's was touching! And I know I need to let go and forgive and forget. But it's hard and I try but in the back of my Subconscious I won't let it go. Not trying to be a big whiner either it's just idk can't explain it!!
And thank you very much and I'm glad you're here with us dear Daniel!! Xoxo

"here with us"......olordy,,,,whatever happened in my heart/brainmind
has
kept me feelin
further & further away these last 12years... astonishing
how many friends have disappeared without explaination.....& i'm The Nicest Guy in The World - generous beyond
to-a-fault even b4 this 'transformation', & more'so since......
I can only theorize that whatever happened to my psyche no longer matches or reflects the 'usual','normal' human ego agenda, & this is somehow frightening to folks on a completely unconscious level, having nothing to with what they think they think about whatever is left of 'me'.........
pretty scary&funny....25yrs in the 'psychiatric business', & this existential 'warp' is all i'm left wit......tis a really great joke.
pleas excuse me if I use what I just wrote here as my next poom which hardly anyone will read & they who do won't admit to it by 'commenting'...
Ha! I make joke!

You know what fuck those people that left you! They don't understand that at any second their lives can turn and they could possibly end up in a worse situation then you. And I see you fine. Just a smart man hiding behind his computer. People are scared of reality and you're reality. You're living proof of one second life changing turn around!! and You're better off avoiding the people and staying true to yourself. Your passion whatever that may be. And as for here, they read they know about you but they can't understand it either. I have read every single poem you've wrote my friend. I have commented on many but sometimes I can not formulate a good response (on paper well computer lol) how I feel about the poem. I can't really critique it properly so I stay mute.. In person I'd sit for hours on end on one poem. That's my downfall.. Also having been in the psych field for the past 14 years I know the struggles I know the disappointment! It's a tough job and we should be very proud of what we have done to help people it's not just a paycheck it's way more and I'm positive you know this!!
Keep your head up xoxoxo much love my friend

bless ye,bless'edly.....yes 'I know that' even tho ireally only know No Thing
I cannot allow myself to indulge in any kind of anger/resentment/blame....all poison to whatever 'miracle' 'saved' & has kept heart beating this long, albeit in the amusing discomfort of a very bizarre 'long-time'(really nothing) now....
compassion/forgiveness must be granted to ALL, in advance & as Unconditionally as possible...must be constantly self-vigilant to pull the cord on even the most 'insignificant' vitriol .....
must live amid a psychic paradox of 'craving death' whist 'hungering for life', & leave the dualistic traps of judgement/punishment to be the dubious luxury of normal,realpeople.......
Iyam nobody/nothing,
yet
Iyam (responsible to/for) everyone/everything --
that is Karma....IT comes wit no personal rewards nor personal punishments, no subjective assessments of 'innocence' or 'guilt'----
KARMA is Not a 'personal issue' at all, yet 'I' am responsible to think & act in This Moment as if I was responsible For Everything That Ever Was/Is/WillBe, while Accepting that IT is totally beyond my/our conception
I love the word FUCK, but am no longer able to say 'Fuck you' in it's common 'serious' context to any'one for any'thing... only satirically, &or theatrically wit a hefty paradoxymoronic laugh.
I Love you,dear/dkzk
PS: bla blabla blablabla bla,etc.,et.al.

You tell me to stop beating myself up! You need to too. Karma is a bitch! Regret is worse. If you have no regret you're fine. Your heart is beating because you belong here for some odd reason. Live it as much as you can, for as long as you can!!

to each they's own perception, & reactionism.
what I rote there is just what I 'have to do' to maintain 'life', having already surrendered to death when the odds were 'no way' re: survival of 5 misdiagnosed & undertreated heartytax because of systemic & symptomatic anomalies, & rather drastic emergency cardiac surgery.....changed 'my perspective' drastically...all perspective of anger as a 'My Right' had to be banished....wee poison ourselves wit our self-indulgent 'rights'.
Karma seems to be a 'bitch' because of our relentless collective vicious-cycle, chain reaction of being angry & unforgiving of anger in others constantly compounded & reinforced collectively & personally.
Karma has nothing to do wit Our dualist, bi-polar projections of uncountably pervasive, conflicting 'Truths' & 'I-believe'....
cultivate a bypass of yOur participation in the anger-thing, & 'issues' of regret fade into irrelevance
butt jeez...I could be wrong & go to Hell for bein so fckn stupid...
can't win'em all...& when you don't appreciate the 'lessons' of losing,it's ultimate irrelevance, & the paradoxical 'gifts' of surrendering yOur ego, wee
just keep enslaving our preciousSelfs & eachOther'sSelfs .
oh well.....so what? peaceUp(&down), dear

Re: I'm sorry
Okay Gigi,
Very deep stuff my dear ... VERY deep ....
I can relate too, having watched my moms suffer with MS for 16 odd years after pops RAN !
.... and although I did my best for her, I always felt as though I should of done more, it's a tough one, but, your advice about not worrying about people and their opines ... Take some of that sweetheart !
You did what you could, nothing can be changed now, but, your connection is, as it always will be ... ALIVE
Just MY advice, not that it's worth much, but,
Make peace with yourself every time you can by remembering that connection, when it feels right, speak to & remind yourself of how much you cared ... Not that I do it often, but, that reminder keeps me from dwelling on the guilty feelings .....
They knew if you didn't do right, but they also KNEW when you DID right by them, the fact that you could write it shows me that you're GOOD ... G !
Bless up
V
