Some mornings
When you are over eighty, the medics lose interest
in your health, I used to see the heart specialist every six months
and check diabetes every three months
now they have stopped seeing me.
It is like they think, what the heck he is old enough anyway.
Not that I care sitting all day indoors looking out
of the window seeing life lived as a spectator.
The phone doesn´t ring anymore and the few friends I had
are dead or in the bosom of AA, their life has been reduced
going to meeting keeping their morale up.
Listening...

Liquified
I’m cold
But not just the kind of cold you feel on a cool winters day
I’m cold
like the numbness your face feels in the middle of a blizzard
The blank staring kind that imitates the hardness of ice
I’m cold
Like an emotionless heart, one that feels nothing
see’s nothing, cares for nothing
I’m cold
Like steel rod reinforced concrete, smooth to touch but hard to the core
So tough a sledge hammer barely cracks the surface
I’m cold
As cold as steel feels in Antarctica, you know the type that vibrates ...

Howling to the Moon
(Visual as well)
He's a lone wolf
Traveling through the wilderness
Looking for the tenderness
He can only get from love
He's lost ever battle
And has nothing on his mantle
And he howls to the moon above
He howls to the moon above
She's a little lamb
A stray that's broken from her herd
A lonely girl as gentle as a bird
Who wasn't thinking about love
He manages to maneuver her
And he finds himself using her
And he howls to the moon above
He howls to the...

And has nothing on his mantle

Apart
It's an odd thing
to miss what you never knew.
Trying to grieve for what is lost
while so removed from parts of you.
Detachment - a thing I no longer fear,
no need to replace nor hide.
It comes to me like pure static sound
to hush the noise outside.

Struggle
I struggle with the thought of not being good enough.
Good enough to be seen or even noticed by anyone.
I struggle with wanting to hear others talking to me instead of only hearing their silence.
I struggle to keep my thoughts good instead of having my thoughts turn evil and trying to convince me everyone secretly hates me.
I struggle with am I good enough or if I should succumb to my evil thoughts and let them win.
Good enough to be seen or even noticed by anyone.
I struggle with wanting to hear others talking to me instead of only hearing their silence.
I struggle to keep my thoughts good instead of having my thoughts turn evil and trying to convince me everyone secretly hates me.
I struggle with am I good enough or if I should succumb to my evil thoughts and let them win.

The pursuit of the archaic romantic fiction of royal and aristocratic blood!
By Stanley Collymore
Oh the irony! Of the rabid
rabid right coupled with their
odious organ grinders
so ad nauseam banging on
in their chagrin, over the
right to free speech and
freedom of expression,
quite dishonestly and
disingenuously very
self-absorbedly to;
furiously angered
no noticeably-so
platform, given
for their kind.
Now look at them self-
righteously fuming.
And only because
the National Trust have in
their moral wisdom, but
these racist...

IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE
Here I am as a woman as I fight back the tears from falling from my eyes, as they fall from the depth and deepness of my heart exposing the mere truth of my hurt and pain. For you promise me that you weren't like all the others men's I had within my life, but yet I've come to realize that it was all nothing more than lies as you broke my heart in two. As you tried to convince me that what you were giving me was love, when in fact it wasn't really love at all just another knot upon your belt. For you never truly understood what it means to love someone unconditionally with honor and respect....

Appearances.
She was dressed decent
As always, obedient
But, surprise
This night she was
High -
Something new
But not to those few
Who really really
Knew her.
As always, obedient

This night she was
High -

Bereft
He was sitting
By the mews
Reading of her death
The sad news
Totally bereft
And a huge hole
In his heart
It left.

Sad
Oktoberfest
Was the best
But he got so drunk
On the way,
Couldn't even
Make his way out
Of the subway.

Being Right
Being right is cold comfort
For a man with a
Broken heart
It's hard to celebrate how smart
You are
When the woman you would celebrate with
Is gone because you're so damn
Clever
That celebratory drink
Looks a lot like
Drowning sorrows
Love hurts
For a man with a
Broken heart
It's hard to celebrate how smart
You are
When the woman you would celebrate with
Is gone because you're so damn
Clever
That celebratory drink
Looks a lot like
Drowning sorrows
Love hurts
