YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE ONE
You've always been the one.
I wanted embracing me as I embraced you, through life's joys as well as pain.
You have always been the one.
I wanted to always go to bed with everynight and wake up next to each morning time and time again.
You have always been the one.
I wanted to give all my time, attention
and affection, we would also share a
wonderful love-filled life together.
You have always been the one
I wanted and prayed for and would
and also want and pray for the same, not just for today, but also for, forever

I LOVE YOU. THE END.
As long as my heart is still beating
it would only speak of your name
and keep on wishing and dreaming
'til a time that you'll feel the same
If my heart was actually burning
you'd be the only one to put it out
run to my distress call and rescue
I would not even have to shout
If my heart was sad and its crying
you would wipe away it's every tear
"Nothing's ever gonna hurt you"
you'd softly whisper into my ear
But, still things are very different
you want me only as a your friend ...

ODE to LOVE
So beautiful you are, a smile with such poise and grace
eyes will tell stories of love often we refused to face
(a man or woman's love can't be replaced)
To love another by chance due to
a circumstance
and watch it bloom and grow due to happenstance
(why don't we just trust and to give unconditionally)
To love by choice a smile shows how precious it can be
A simple embrace or kiss can lead often into serenity
(keep in mind this can also be just be one's fantasy)
To love and lose that was or wasn't meant for you or me ...

STILL FALLING IN and OUT of LOVE
I still find myself staring down at my phone,
As I stll wait for your text
or call,
I am quite sure I'd still
answer immediately,
And very soon I again I would
begin to fall.
I tell you how I still miss
and love you,
You probably most likely think
its a lie,
But now that everyday I am still here
without you,
I wonder somedays how I am actually
still alive.
The distance and silence is slowly
killing me,
The pain gets more difficult
for me to take.
So I still try and hand...

YOUR ALIBI
Your alibi of sorts
I have often said
As I lay here
inside our bed,
Wearing nothing
But a sheet
Wiggling ass
Something sweet,
If you call
You can guess
I'll tell you all
or tell you less,
Pretty much
Knows the game
we play it both out
much in the same.
Spends the afternoon
The day, the night
One might call
Instant delight,
One might call it
Pure heresy
Seems a bit
of both, to me.

circling the drain
this is the country where
the Eerie Canal was built
by hand using shovels,
pickaxe's, dynamite,
seniew, bone and blood
today we cant make enough
car parts to keep our
vehicles on the road
this is the country where
stores like Sears, Penny's,
K-Mart, Montgomery Wards
lined main streets in every
town
today the legacy and
memories we will leave
to our children are dollar
stores spreading across
the land like an invading
army of storm troopers

THESE THINGS I KNOW
I know I am not your first choice
I'd be lucky to be your seconds
Even though I knew from the start you're the one my heart beckons
I know at times I may seem more of a handful and just not enough
Others times I am but, still I think I'm totally unworthy of your love
I know I have many insecurities and also have far too many flaws
But, I am right here to testify to you
I'd be so fucking damn worth it all
I know from the very beginning you
liked me a lot and actually cared
Time has not been on our sides
and often I...

LUST'S FLEETING MOMENTS
Missing, longing, waiting, yearning
Waves of passion gushing, churning
Minutes, hours, daylight burning
Unforeseen emotions stirring
Moments fleeting, memories flashing
ache increasing, never ceasing
Skin a'tingling, fear of failing
Heart with anguish now is ailing
Hungry, thirsty for your touching
Lacking closeness, pillow cluthing
Soul on fire, dawn approaching
Tomorrow's relief soon encroaching!
Waves of passion gushing, churning
Minutes, hours, daylight burning
Unforeseen emotions stirring
Moments fleeting, memories flashing
ache increasing, never ceasing
Skin a'tingling, fear of failing
Heart with anguish now is ailing
Hungry, thirsty for your touching
Lacking closeness, pillow cluthing
Soul on fire, dawn approaching
Tomorrow's relief soon encroaching!

Pork-Adjacent (Piggin' on a Sunday Afternoon)
He opens and closes his hammy fist with a revolting inelegance
-a vain attempt to scratch his brow with a sausage-like pinkie.
Sinking lower into his seat, his amorphous form spills over the armrest and onto my
forearm-
"Lady She Sure", he fumbles to utter, leaning over
to his wife before returning to rest
—expressionless
The curtain rises on a cohort of young Chinese women in undulating silk finery,
Flapping feathered fans in synchronization with the meticulous grace of
Ten Thousand Hours spent,
the color of spring's...

DAMN MY EVER LOVING HEART
Barren through the till
a never ending churn
the tips with time turn
but what is the same
they only change the name
living lies under an artificial sky
sunshine sparks attention
where chained is the affection
an infection spreading thin
and dire is my sin
change me with the mountains
as rocks crumble down
never hearing a sound
free falling the abyss hungers
shrouded we don't know when
further away but the edge is near
goodbye's really make it disappear
mysteries lie in...

Unspoken
She said
It must be nice to wake up looking like that
To not see her face in my reflection
How dare I despise
The sadness held in her eyes
Envious hope unbearable
A glimpse of false vicariousity
Couldn’t say that it’s nice
To wake up another day
Late to my grave
I didn’t say
We see the same things in different greys
Feel the pressure of shades and layers
Beneath our days
It must be nice to wake up looking like that
To not see her face in my reflection
How dare I despise
The sadness held in her eyes
Envious hope unbearable
A glimpse of false vicariousity
Couldn’t say that it’s nice
To wake up another day
Late to my grave
I didn’t say
We see the same things in different greys
Feel the pressure of shades and layers
Beneath our days
