Coward
I know not what to do,
But my heart is in pain,
I know not if what I do is right or wrong,
I just know that I do it because I am a coward.
We have been friends forever,
Yet when I no longer can hold back the tears,
I run away instead,
I hide my sorrows, I bury my pain.
When I see you, speak to you, or hear of you,
Pins and needles poke my heart,
My stomach sinks and javelins,
Penetrate my bowls.
My internals are in pain,
As though gravely sick,
My heart is in pain,
As though it were to stop any...
But my heart is in pain,
I know not if what I do is right or wrong,
I just know that I do it because I am a coward.
We have been friends forever,
Yet when I no longer can hold back the tears,
I run away instead,
I hide my sorrows, I bury my pain.
When I see you, speak to you, or hear of you,
Pins and needles poke my heart,
My stomach sinks and javelins,
Penetrate my bowls.
My internals are in pain,
As though gravely sick,
My heart is in pain,
As though it were to stop any...

The Voice
The Voice”
I cannot cleanse the dawning of yesterday.
I cannot hold tomorrow at bay.
The hours lay crippled in a sea
Of the fate that now shall be.
I sing without voice to thee.
You hear with such pity.
It is such tears I long for
Lost in the waves that roar.
I yearn to gather their shadows
Within the waters that enclose
The silence of death that I sing
While my roses are blooming—
Ah! Would that I may watch them grow
But there are no flowers where oft I go:
Into yesterday, where all is dead...
I cannot cleanse the dawning of yesterday.
I cannot hold tomorrow at bay.
The hours lay crippled in a sea
Of the fate that now shall be.
I sing without voice to thee.
You hear with such pity.
It is such tears I long for
Lost in the waves that roar.
I yearn to gather their shadows
Within the waters that enclose
The silence of death that I sing
While my roses are blooming—
Ah! Would that I may watch them grow
But there are no flowers where oft I go:
Into yesterday, where all is dead...

Compression, Time, and, Tides
Sunlight barely breaks the surface at this depth
sometimes things down here get murky
but I guess three thousand
two hundred
and sixty seven days
is a long time to be underwater
turns out not breathing gets easier when all your friends are digital and you don’t own any mirrors
I can’t be bothered with what’s going on
on terra firma or surfing for over processed fish sticks in the fiber optic sea
I’m way too preoccupied with dreaming of an apex predator who can handle the pressure
I imagine he smells like penzoil
and malice like...

A Surface Scratch.
I wish I was P.E.R.F.E.C.T,
In the deepness of your E.Y.E.S.
Your eyes,
The D.E.E.P.N.E.S.S of your E.Y.E.S.
I'm T.I.R.E.D of blaming others,
When really its my L.I.F.E.
We can't help
Who we choose,
2 B.E,
2 B.E.
2 B.E
2 B.E,
Yep,that's M.E.
What will it take 2 B.E
P.E.R.F.E.C.T I.N Y.O.U.R E.Y.E.S.

Turning Back Broken Clocks
I like to think you could have been
happy with me
I like to think I could
have held you in my arms
and kiss your cheek
and you wouldn't run
That I could have had you
if I would've asked
for you to stay
five more days
five more hours
five more minutes
But I can't change the past
I can't turn back the clock
Are you happy?
If so, I'm happy for you
happy with me
I like to think I could
have held you in my arms
and kiss your cheek
and you wouldn't run
That I could have had you
if I would've asked
for you to stay
five more days
five more hours
five more minutes
But I can't change the past
I can't turn back the clock
Are you happy?
If so, I'm happy for you

Abyss
I look at our photos and smile, a wistful smile, for mere a second, followed by a wave of heart wrenching anguish sweeping me off my feet, into the abysmal depths of my mind, where our memories lie, along with my regrets, my sorrows, my guilt, and the bitterness of self reproach.

My (romantic) love life
The B-52 stratofortress on the runway,
The pilot revved up its powerful engines
In due course, released the brakes
Barely a few feet off the ground
The huge beast lost power
Hit the ground
And crashed into flames.
The pilot revved up its powerful engines
In due course, released the brakes
Barely a few feet off the ground
The huge beast lost power
Hit the ground
And crashed into flames.

Tarnished
Dust me off after
you have left me on your pedestal
long enough to have your memories

'I Miss ....'
I miss Unsolved Mysteries, on a Wednesday night
With Robert Stack, by eight be back
So scary, but worth the freight!
I miss people gathering at our house
Some not with us now, and how
But worth remembering, people like Claus.
I miss the old Alpine camper
It rained so much, the grass it touched
And fishing, was the Newfoundlander.
I miss playing Nightmare
At Gram's, my cousin would come
A sleep over would then take place there
And breakfast served, like you were at home.
I miss being chased and shot ...

Destiny awaits You~
Something inside of you connected to the safety of her
loving you as is...tenderly as if you were a wounded dove
You knew nothing different then the gaze of her eyes
the creases in the corner of her mouth when she smiled
The touch of her hair against your fingers
the scent of her skin captivated you...she mesmerized you
Time began to work against you...taking it's toll
the fire faded to coals and coals to ember...ember to sand
Gazing into her eyes in love turned into heated glares
her scent became putrid as she...
loving you as is...tenderly as if you were a wounded dove
You knew nothing different then the gaze of her eyes
the creases in the corner of her mouth when she smiled
The touch of her hair against your fingers
the scent of her skin captivated you...she mesmerized you
Time began to work against you...taking it's toll
the fire faded to coals and coals to ember...ember to sand
Gazing into her eyes in love turned into heated glares
her scent became putrid as she...

She knows.
Her set of small stones was always ready
She selected them while walking
In the woods around her cabin,
Cleaned them, polished them
And painted them in rich colors
Of yellow (a possible win),
Emerald green (strong hope), blue (success)
White (pure love) and black (death, of course).
Two stones for each.
James was at the end of his rope.
Dharma always helped him in difficult circumstances.
She was an enigmatic young lady
Living in the comfortable little place
Inherited from her mother,
A famed tarotmancer who sadly...

Self reflection
I don’t have bad intentions,
but miscommunication
can sometimes create a perception,
I look to mirrors for reflection,
Perplexed and slightly irritated,
to now be painted with the same brush, as malicious identities....
