kisses in the cold
cold night
warm bed
thin hard Italian cigar
flavored with
anisette
small miracle of quiet
swims deftly
across the
ceiling
a lamp on the dresser
catches memories
in it's
glow
my body
your body
our bodies
I wish it could
have been
you...
but wishes belong
to the gods and
they never
share
and star fish dont
know if it's
day or
night
and choices are
the greatest
traps...

Putting You Away
The last tide of the day is going out
I guess it's a good time for our goodbye
even though you left hours ago
I waited, to watch the ocean follow you.
I knew, you had that kind of power
even if you didn't
Because you were looking away.
I walk the bartering line
where the waves recede from the sand
as several grains go with it
Thousands really, but who notices
from the millions left behind
Like my thoughts of you, like the love
that follows you
Maybe it will keep you safe.
I could never wish anything
but the...

THE COST
I linger in my bed, lying across the ruffled cover
Old memories surface, as I try desperately to recover.
Ghosts from my past, fill up my muffled mind
How they've been, have the years been kind?
As I close my eyes, their faces will soon appear
They will slide past swiftly, year after year.
Dozen of men, some young and some old
But, each were important, if truth will be told.
Their scents, their bodies, their voices and souls
All imprinted in me, filled up my empty holes.
At a time in my life, they shared them with me ...
Old memories surface, as I try desperately to recover.

But, each were important, if truth will be told.

All imprinted in me, filled up my empty holes.

don't forget the toast
broken
can't remember when i wasn't
cracked in half
beat up and tossed
into that frying pan
with the heat on high
scrambled egg
crispy and burnt
mc-sizzled,

"Hey there, baby"
Hey there, baby”
Hey there baby, maybe you're just too stupid to understand
that I'll always love ya crazy
and that I wanna hold your hand.
Hey there baby, here we go. I probably ought to just let go.
But I ask my heart this question.
The damn thing keeps sayin', "No!"
Half the time I don't know what to do.
Why can't love be an easy way?
Instead we're left to struggle through
in all the games that Cupid likes to play.
Maybe this or maybe that.
Maybe maybe never was.

In love for a day
Love last for a day
By chance to linger on
Never to wander again
Forever in love for a day
Our love glistend and bloomed
Like the moist morning dew
Love at first sight
One glance and we knew
Our love was the fire
Of a noon day sun
Secret desires melting
Till we became one
Then on came the night
And the frozen bitter winds
Somehow we both knew
Our love was to end
In love with a day
That became forever
Ceaselessly wandering
Bound and tethered
In some other time ...
By chance to linger on
Never to wander again
Forever in love for a day
Our love glistend and bloomed
Like the moist morning dew
Love at first sight
One glance and we knew
Our love was the fire
Of a noon day sun
Secret desires melting
Till we became one
Then on came the night
And the frozen bitter winds
Somehow we both knew
Our love was to end
In love with a day
That became forever
Ceaselessly wandering
Bound and tethered
In some other time ...

WHAT A SHAME
What a shame ~
That you discovered every inch
of my body, and not the
slightest piece of my soul. ❤
That you discovered every inch

Defecate Without You.
Take 11 steps,
Back2BackStackedBack2BackLetsBackTrack,
But without,
Those Killer Words,
Letting my Heart,
Break down,
Down
Down
Down,
Into pit,
Of meat diseased gut,
Gutter,
Wait,
One sec,
I've got 2,
defecate,
In front of you,
B4,
you decide 2 go.
Go,
Don't Go,
DontGo,
Don't...

Feeling some kinda way
I felt the burn when it hit my side.
Doctors said im lucky to be alive.
Trying to make a better way, get out of strife.
Guess it doesn't go away welcome to life.

HolDing The DaiSieS.
Papa and his babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
Mother and her babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
In the Cem-e-terry,
Papa and his babies,
Stand beside the casket,
in the ground.
Papa and his babies,
Pray,with insincerity,
Hoping they,
Can get back,
2 normal life.
