Reflection
These brown eyes
staring back at me
untouched and unfazed
Time has slowly passed
I wonder how she feels
on the other side of the glass
For all I see
it's just the same Ole me
My conscience is my naked truth
I will never see myself
The way others do
gazing at the water
My world is upside down
I rather be alone
than around a faceless crowd
Im thinking out loud
Maybe I am becoming selfish
It's my own image that
I'm obsessed with
Mirror mirror on the wall ...

Thoughts of admiration, aching desire and attempted enlightenment

Don't Deserve What Ifs
I'm tired of the what ifs.
I'm tired of this mental list.
My mind is going crazy.
My heart is getting empty.
What if I wouldn't have left?
What if I wouldn't have slept?
What if I would have told you how I felt?
What if I could go back and just accept?
Accept the feelings I ran from.
Accept that you weren't dumb.
Some things you said make sense now.
All of the things I just wouldn't allow.
I wouldn't allow you to break my walls.
I would purposely ignore all your calls.
Even when I knew that you were...

On turtles and dreams and more…
After a fight today
as my heart sank in sorrow
seeing how I had disappointed
and been judged so harshly
for my patience and forgiveness
in the role as Mother,
I escaped to a happy place—
swimming in the sea
with fish and turtles
Letting my limbs loll placidly
With the waves
Floating with the flow.
I wondered snorkeling solo in that bay
If your ghost would have held my hand
In the salty spray
Swimming side-by-side
Like those lovers passing
Or would you too have sulked
Sitting in the sand ...

ONE
Through all this din
I’ll say again,
Its ONLY you that I desire!
Of dreams with you I never tire…
Of other pleasures through my life
I have no care..
For only you I’d dare
to take these risks,
to bare my soul
to hold again my beating heart
in outstretched open hands
a gift
for ONLY you to do
with as you please.
and if you cannot, dare not
Take my proffered gift
If you cannot chance
Reciprocating
I DO understand
But it won’t change
My heart’s forever longing
It can never change

Comment ( on Jack Kerouac's mission for simplicity)
A legacy walks abroad, with ghostly steps
the inspirations marathon, that runs, not by rule of thumb
that leaves you feeling so inept,
when brevity, its beauty ever shunned
For lesser is the greatest gift,
the cutting edge
stinging repost, that sticks the lips
grasp for diamonds glitter, amongst the dregs
Complexity and prevarication, so you wed
that bitch, ever needed to be fed
written, the slim beauty, the need of whence
the mistress you should take to bed
W/C 79

Nothingman
The brain is a big place
In a very small space
I lay here and wonder
if there are others who dwell, lost in space.
Minds racing, yet you can never leave without a trace
Oh how I’d do anything to bite your face
Longing for you? Or perhaps anyone’s embrace
Confused, alone in my thoughts is a comforting place
Somewhere to call home, a fucked up solace
The quirkiest thoughts,
but only thinking of you can get my heart to race
No matter how comforting,
that thought will always pop into my head
- I am so easy to...

belief
a sigh escapes my lips as a vow
a glimmer then a doubt
I want to confess
an admission of love
I love your passion
in the shadows glow
I feel the intensity then fade
in the sacredness of knowing I am whole
I see you on the horizons a man of renown
my hearts skips then pounds like a drum when you are near
I see you in my dreams
coming closer for a taste
after all this time do you know me?
a child of fate dawning in my understanding
learning what it is to love
to love wholly
you show me beauty...

Stay Down
Stay Down"
Dear God, it's been a while, I don't know what to say/
I need to open up my heart, but if I do, they'll lock me away
But how can they lock me away, for spitting the misery I feel in my heart/
When the ones that made me betrayed me, when I was just a baby in the dark
Fiending for a father figure, and crying for his mother/
Wishing they'd love him, but they wished they had another
So it hurts me to say this, I've been a cursed seed since day one/
I guess I weren't a product of love, I was just what come after a night of fun

Platonic
I read an article this evening:
“What is a Platonic Life Partnership?
These Couples are Breaking Societal Relationship Norms”
In which
A sexologist thought it
“a better model”
Is that what this is?
I muse
Relationship status:
☑️ Platonic*
*romance not included
I panic…
I’ve checked the wrong box
