Never Never Mate
The one I missed is this:
Grey fog soft swaddling rolling orchard hills,
Last yellow-brown apples dropping to bless the mice, in wet orange leaves
Salt foam sliding like a veil, lifted, falling, rising over rolling blue deep;
Heat shimmer dragonfly wing tilting in the wink of a golden, blue-eyed dog;
My never-was Mate is the coffee fleck of Showy Milkweed seed,
Borne cloudward flying over the valley on vanilla silkwing steed;
He is a rough, great trusty rope,
Coiled in the stern,
Rough, comfort like whiskers on my...

Gingerbread Man
I don't need whipped cream or frosting to make me sweet.
Neither on my cookies.
Or to make my life sweet.
It's too much sugar for me.
A prince charming just isn't the one I need.
I want a gingerbread man,the one I'll feed.
A gingerbread man,one with frosting.
Candy buttons and chocolate eyes.
A gingerbread man,one full of color.
Make me fly higher,fall harder.
Depends on how you bake him in the oven,and a slice of cake.
A gingerbread man,one that someday will be a father.
A gingerbread man to play...

You.
Dear you,
Hey you. I can't talk to you. I call out your name, but you can't hear me. I miss you so bad that some days I don't think too clearly. You made me who i am today. And for that, ill tilt my hat, cause you taught me more than you will ever know. I just wish you were here with me to help teach and watch our daughter grow.
Life the way it is now, just doesn't seem real to me.. It’s almost like none of this is real, and i made up all these memories. Almost as if you died, or maybe it was me that died.. And if thats the case, hell is where I’ll be, until the day I can touch...

Love Letters (Romeo and Juliet)
My Dear Romeo,
I stay still as you caress my back. Involuntary my breath hitches from the touch. I know you are doing what you think I want. You’re giving me a small amount of you as if I am to be rationed for a war that I never enlisted in.
I close my eyes and hold back the tears for the silent pain that the single gentle touch caused. We have grown older together as we pledged to do, and yet we can’t rather you can't....
I tell myself I can settle for a kiss, but that is pulled away. I can settle for this caress if there is to be nothing else, but I know my...

Botticelli
Standing at a crossroads, why do I have to choose when Botticelli painted both the Madonna and Child and The Birth of Venus? I say I don't write for the purist, so why can't I create my real emotions—mental art—without fear of repercussions? What was going through your mind, Botticelli, when you painted for both Pagans and Catholics? Should I keep my work neat and pure, the cute shit that’s suitable for a bland palate, or can I give you tears and pain, profanity intertwined with the confession of sin?

Unearthed
My mind is screaming, merely mimicking my lost design
my heart is bleeding, memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost in my own doom
I am trapped, surrounded
Crowded within this room
screaming at the top of my shattered lungs
Not a single soul wavers
no one bothered to look up
They walk right through my scattered limbs
Leaving behind their muddy scuffs
And on top of my punctured ribs, they stand
As if designated to their blind...
my heart is bleeding, memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost in my own doom
I am trapped, surrounded
Crowded within this room
screaming at the top of my shattered lungs
Not a single soul wavers
no one bothered to look up
They walk right through my scattered limbs
Leaving behind their muddy scuffs
And on top of my punctured ribs, they stand

Woes of an Relationship
I heard all you said/ I hope you got all that off your chest/
I hope you got all the emotions out and you got nothing left/
I hope you feel good about yourself and you can lay your problems all to rest/
With the smoke and dust at your back I'm sure you have no regrets/
All this time you wanted a punching bag/
so you can strike on it to compensate for the pain that was caused from your
pass relationships, friends, mom or dad/
When you let loose there is no white flag/
I'm sure this is what you meant when you said I'm a man you have never...

Pay Day
I pray let me just fall asleep
I beg, let me dream when I sleep
The sun rises on top of my head and set on my feet
For pay day..
Am surely not too late
Am just roaming around the most strangest of a place
Holding in my both right and left palms an empty silver plate
I called this my fate
My deeds I have to pay
Take this to be what I wanna lay
On pay day..
Walk around run around always looking sideways
Even if I set my sight forward, I can clearly see both the sideways
Lord show me the way ...

Ceilings
It's a rainy night.
We were in your house,drinking hot chocolate.
We enjoyed our time.
As time moved faster.
The ceilings,walls were covered in plaster.
And it feels too good to be true.
And when it's over,you drove me home.
And it kinda comes out as I got up to go.
You kissed me in your car.
And my heartbeat went far.
And it all felt like the end of a movie.
Of a movie I have seen before.
That I longed to be true.
That I wanted to live in.
A movie I wanted to last forever.
Where we will...

First and Last Kiss (Ending)
We both went to the small kitchenette and found two Dixie cups. I followed him to his office and watched as he pulled a small bottle of Gin and tonic out of his small refrigerators under his desk.
After pouring us both a cup we did the customary tapping and took a drink. Closing my eyes and just enjoying the floral scent most gins have as it went down.
“It’s good right?” He asked as I opened my eyes to see him looking at his own cup in thought.
“Have a seat. We should not stand around after enjoying this gem.”
I smiled and went to the recliner in...

First and Last Kiss
I wasn’t making any progress on my work and the deadline is in a week. I decided that I need a more structured environment. Being home my mind tends to wander to the wrong things. Focus has to me my main priority of the day.
Looking at the phone flashing showing a name that I do not want to talk to right now. If I am being honest at least to myself. It is him that is destroying my concentration. I saved my work, closed my laptop and grabbed my keys.
I had a thought to leave my phone but I knew that would not be wise. Other people like my publicist would need to...

Long days in old school hallways bottle flipping choco true moo with no friends always.
It's not with false lenses just a snapshot of life;
I made some lonely habits just to escape from the fights.
Big blanket, crossed legs my personal cave.
A chamber for brave and the innocent slave.
A funny little boy with a funny low voice who out choiced the ploy and laughed, cried and rejoiced.
I always was the imaginative type.
The kind of kid who plays alone just imagining life with no labor, broke and no haters.
I just elaborate strife.
Just a collateral...
