Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Carmen the waitress says, “Are you bored with this side of town? I bet there are a lot of great attractions around the college town where you are going?”
“The reason I am moving is that the house needs a lot of repairs.”
“You told me that.”
Drawn by Auld Lang Syne my city wheels roll in clouds of time.
The weathered facades of a wooden portrait of the once-grand restaurant broke my heart. The candlelit room where I dined on my last supper with her had retreated to the size of a small tea...

Heart To Heart
13th November 2017 part one
had the op mon 13th 'angioplasty/stents via radial artery', unfortunately it went wrong, and they had to give up after 2 1/2 hours. they checked the previous 4 stents from july, so at least they were up and running, but the rest was a painful nightmare, mixes with fear. it all went pear-shaped, plus i got exposed to high radiation. then about one hour after op, my body started to go into shutdown, and it was like a scene from Casualty(or some such thing) and i remember thinking again, this is it, but all this time seemed worse that the last, and the...

Never expected love, only hoped for it.
Your mouth is a gun,
and you were the one,
who shot me with words.
Like bullets piercing my heart,
and you watched me fall apart.
You just stood there.
You didn’t care,
about all the hurt you were causing.
I hope that some day the memories come flooding in,
and you continue pausing.
On all the love I gave to you,
and all the shit I helped you through.
When they all said you needed to change,
I was there and accepted you for all your flaws,
and all the things you thought were strange, ...

wounded
I never thought our love would fade
to a point our intimacy could reunite
for now it only feels that way
there have been darker days
yet never divided us this way
our love is deep and still there
behind the anger and hurt bared
damaged feelings still not repaired
deeper are the cuts no letting up
prided and hurt no apologies explored
only more pain and wounds to endure
no admissions of wrong or right
conformation is not apart in sight
it just drags us deeper
in to more sleepless nights
we sweep more and more...

the test of time
The hardest test in life is having the patience
to wait for the right moment.”—Unknown
the harpless strings could not be tuned,
the stringless harp severely ruined,
the muse as silent as the voice of death.
the birdless wings—no ecstasy,
the wingless bird—no majesty,
the song—no evidence of tuneful breath.
when in your heart there was no song,
my song without a heart was wrong;
my aria...

A Sad Repeating Trend
Shoot for a star
My dad said
As many as there are
Even a blind man can hit one
But
I’m not my dad
I’m aiming for the moon
My chances of hitting that
Is slim to none
But I don’t settle for the easy
I never give up
Though I might
Speak of it
I love hard
Why break ups
Hurt me so
But I think big
Though my confidence
Falls in between
I do love someone
With all of my heart
Someone
Someone dear to me
I try to make her smile
Every chance I get
Do things
Even I ...

Because I know that time is always time
And place is always and only place
And what is actual is actual only for one time
And only for one place
“Ash Wednesday” -T.S. Eliot; after “The Hollow Men” T.S. Eliot
Not with a bang but a whimper we discover on
the eve of our fourth anniversary, following years
of a conception improbability. We surrender
our dreams of having a family for Icelandic tours, and
weekly Manhattan martinis. What gives you away
is three weeks of nausea and an incessant craving for lime.
We pee on a stick...

Another Tale of Woe
the smell of her perfume, it still lingers
an unpleasant fragrance that reminds
of a multitude of memories...invading
the senses with their stench of the past
I look up in the technicolor sky, blinking
my curious eyes, as eagles swoop down
their plumage of black-n-white...beautiful
yet I am frightened by the spectres beyond
their marble stare...it shoots arrows into me
so flow on waters, from those ivory towers
erupting from...

The Train Leaves at 8
If you can bare the wait,
The train leaves promplty at 8.
I acknowledge that its 5pm on a Tuesday and the air around us is still clearing of toxic waste.
Our moon hasn't reached its peak and the sun is blinding,
too many mouths with plated tounges, turned up noses, fake smiles.
Aware that loneliness is a ploy to ring the clouds out before they are hung in the sky in our image.
Knowledge that I am followed by ghosts of hearts when they litter the night in their tantrums,
shooting across the mind in passing.
You...
