Reconcilliation
My Father came to me last night.
Held me in his arms comforting
My head against his chest I asked
"Why did you not do this before?"
He gave me no answer but I did
Not need an answer because
Now matters more than then.
Held me in his arms comforting
My head against his chest I asked
"Why did you not do this before?"
He gave me no answer but I did
Not need an answer because
Now matters more than then.

this bro-ken frame
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a
contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psalm 51:17
what will You have me do this day
while in his course the sun
illuminates tasks in my way
neglected and undone?
though stubborn raves my lack of care
and silent falls my voice
today You bid me live and dare
by purpose and by choice.
the breath i borrow for my life
so fleeting in its wake
cannot withstand the slightest strife
that circumstances make; ...

Memoirs
She had a long memory
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life
Everything I'd tell her when I was drunk
Though I'd long forgot those empty promises
And I could drink
The wasted folly of a drunk
How could I fault her?
With her side long stare
And sad smile
She was good for me
You know?
Still is
Beautiful as all hell
She took me in when I begged to die
The suicide of empty bottles and bruised ego
I longed for the long slip of the bight
She forbid it
And gifted me with a life

A moment of time is needed
Just to be back in
Sometimes I pay to pay the price
So that I remember wtf it is,
....that I have been
This is nice
...a split second on pause
...a mandatory," from time to time"
The rat race keeps drowning me
... but then,
.... even that,
can turn to ice.

Breathless with memories
You fought your way to grab the strings that played on my heart.
Every day became the first day, started to think life without you wasn’t an option.
A piece of you became my constant reminder, how could you slip away standing right in front of me.
You became like water & slipped through me, you scent lingered & that’s what you wanted.
(I’m choking....you took my breath away)

Officers and Gentlemen
I think this was the name of the movie I saw a romantic love story
of an officer aspirant and his girlfriend who worked in a factory.
When he passed his exam, he walked into the factory claiming
his trophy.
It was ever so romantic, brought tears to many eyes, it raised
a social class issue here, the movie was made before the woke
mentality and Me-Too took hold.
His friend who also studied to become an officer had a girlfriend

i still do
waking up from a bad dream my head it echos
but you’re not in bed beside me on the pillow
lost in silence it’s just nonstop
did i hear you calling out or just a pin drop
your t-shirt lingers somewhere in my room
with the familiar smell of your perfume
i miss the way you’d talk about your day
what i’d give to call and share stories today
melancholy’s numb sadness sets in
like a storm cloud riding ferocious wind
alone in an empty room with my regret
it’s eating me from the inside am i alive or dead ...

THINGS THAT CAN'T BE RECALLED
LESSON
A wise philosopher,
wish I knew his name,
once wrote:
"There are three
things which cannot
be recalled or once
again had:
A spent
arrow once it has
left the bow.
A once in a lifetime
opportunity that
has been spurned.
And a word hastily
spoke, once it leaves
your lips it can't be
retrieved to your mouth."
I was thinking this third
one is also true relative
to written words that have
been launched by the send
or print button.
I am under a new vow
to be more...

Truth
I act as if there's nothing
that can penetrate my skin
truth is I am so brittle
from the hollow deep within..
Fragile are my feelings
when I feel you push away
If only I could stop the clock
forever you would stay..
I love to live in moments
that I can not call my own
pretending that you are the one
until I sleep alone..
For years I was a burden
to everyone I met
until the day you pulled me close
and held me as I wept..
Fear is a fleeting feeling
when I get down to the cause ...
that can penetrate my skin
truth is I am so brittle
from the hollow deep within..
Fragile are my feelings
when I feel you push away
If only I could stop the clock
forever you would stay..
I love to live in moments
that I can not call my own
pretending that you are the one
until I sleep alone..
For years I was a burden
to everyone I met
until the day you pulled me close
and held me as I wept..
Fear is a fleeting feeling
when I get down to the cause ...

Understanding
Afflictions of the heart will soon desolate the mind
impersonation of the flesh
will deteriorate the spine..
Her devotion to ideas soon
created leaps and bounds
for she would go to many lengths
To keep her love confound..
With emotions like a cyclone
She was bursting at the seams
looking for the answers of what this all could mean..
Indulging in disasters has caused disconnection with her heart
for if she was to free her soul they would have to part..
...

Statues
speechless statues
thought that I sang
Avenues
Of green blue
Fighting to look back at you
Forgotten fountains
the letter in the waste basket
I wrote to you
I wrote to you
You lie like I do
There’s no benefit
to perjury can't you see
ask me about the
Silent islands
The prying silence
It gets to you
It will get to you
You’re always crying
On the inside while you’re outside
Tell me who I need to be
Im standing like a statue on the street
thought that I sang
Avenues
Of green blue
Fighting to look back at you
Forgotten fountains
the letter in the waste basket
I wrote to you
I wrote to you
You lie like I do
There’s no benefit
to perjury can't you see
ask me about the
Silent islands
The prying silence
It gets to you
It will get to you
You’re always crying
On the inside while you’re outside
Tell me who I need to be
Im standing like a statue on the street
