L'esprit de l'escalier 6/30
an undiscovered narrative
the lace covers but not
enough that
a place downstairs
appears alive behind walls
and someone is a peer
at the curving
stairs
shutters
between poles appearing as
glimpses of bouncy foot
sneakers
rubber
skidding tires black
white trim
a succession in
movements
through bannisters
narrow
blurred around the edges
excitement
hurry
shock
which?
i wish i could hourglass
then what i said just a second later
the lace covers but not
enough that
a place downstairs
appears alive behind walls
and someone is a peer
at the curving
stairs
shutters
between poles appearing as
glimpses of bouncy foot
sneakers
rubber
skidding tires black
white trim
a succession in
movements
through bannisters
narrow
blurred around the edges
excitement
hurry
shock
which?

A MAN TO HOLD
Our reality forbade me from kissing your lips
And stroking your hair with my fingertips.
All I could do was hold your hand
When I traveled the distance to a different land
Just to see you for a quick little hour
And I gladly took that power.
How I longed to know how you kissed
And a touch of a man, oh how I missed.
How much it pained me, you have no clue,
To not be able to cuddle up with you.
Sitting across from you, my mind slowly would drift away
And all we had for memories were conversations from day to day.
...
And stroking your hair with my fingertips.
All I could do was hold your hand
When I traveled the distance to a different land
Just to see you for a quick little hour
And I gladly took that power.
How I longed to know how you kissed
And a touch of a man, oh how I missed.
How much it pained me, you have no clue,
To not be able to cuddle up with you.
Sitting across from you, my mind slowly would drift away
And all we had for memories were conversations from day to day.

Be Done With It
I covet you because I don't exist.
My soul vacated this body in disgust;
starving, emaciated.
Fill the shell one time so I can feel. I need to feel.
I'll take your love, I'll take your contempt. I'll take your abuse.
A kiss.
Or kill me.
I ghost through the world every day, every fucking day,
carrying no weight. Making no mark.
Invisible. Ignored.
Your eyes penetrate me.
Fire. Empathy. Cruelty. Lust.
I need it all.
Empty yourself into me. Shatter the shell.
And be done with it.
My soul vacated this body in disgust;
starving, emaciated.
Fill the shell one time so I can feel. I need to feel.
I'll take your love, I'll take your contempt. I'll take your abuse.
A kiss.
Or kill me.
I ghost through the world every day, every fucking day,
carrying no weight. Making no mark.
Invisible. Ignored.
Your eyes penetrate me.
Fire. Empathy. Cruelty. Lust.
I need it all.
Empty yourself into me. Shatter the shell.
And be done with it.

Letter to my mum x
I thought I'd write this letter
Just to say the things I should have said
And apologise for the things I should have done.
I'm trying my hardest to rememeber
The events of the past
From Jan through to December..
But my thoughts are clouded by a haze
I know the events wernt great,
And I'd certainly seen better days.
But I know I didn't call as much as I should have,
And know I didn't see you as much as I could have.
And for that I'm sorry.
I know I could have been a better son,
But I'm thankful i couldn't ask for a...

Sweet lies
I've loved you to the best of my ability
I don't deserve such dishonesty
No - not like this!
As picture perfect memories pierce my soul
Who am I to not be deceived
I wish I could walk away - GO
Or maybe you should be the one to leave
You put me on a pedestal
A love that's for show
Your actions were out of control
I'd rather have you say goodbye
Then break this heart of mine
With your sweet lies

Just Another Notch Under Your Belt
I wanted it more than anything I've wanted before.
But I walked away to avoid being a temporary score.
Every ounce of my body wanted to stay.
But I ran making sure I got very far away.
I couldn't open my heart once again, letting you wreck it.
I couldn't give you my body knowing you would neglect it.
I couldn't be just another notch under your belt.
I couldn't stay because I knew how you really felt.
It's never been me and you've realized this.
You realized it from the very first fucking kiss.

Pos-activity (It comes from within)
If I was a monkey,
I'd say it was bannana's.
How a virus inspire's kindness
The kind I will never know.
To forgive is to forget
To forget is to give.
I suspend my troubles
And inspire people to live.
Strength comes in waves
It eminates within,
Well being is my compass
Move forward in my skin.
Light cancels dark,
There is a crack in my sight
No surrender of fists
Clasped tight to fight.
I look to the future
Mindful of the present
I ponder the past
But try not to...
I'd say it was bannana's.
How a virus inspire's kindness

Well being is my compass
Move forward in my skin.

Soldier in gloom watching flowers bloom
I grow flower til my eyes are sore
The tears fall like rain in a down pour
Red poppies in the flower bed
Reminder of the soldiers that are dead
Blue iris we have laid
Showing devotion with faith
Red and white roses on the lattice wall
For the men and women who stood tall
Peonies around the swing give feeling
A sign of hope your healing
Hydrangeas to show reference
To their perseverance
Sword lillies blooming true
To show a soldier his do
Down close to the creek you see Statice
Remeberance of a lost ones status ...
The tears fall like rain in a down pour
Red poppies in the flower bed
Reminder of the soldiers that are dead
Blue iris we have laid
Showing devotion with faith
Red and white roses on the lattice wall
For the men and women who stood tall
Peonies around the swing give feeling
A sign of hope your healing
Hydrangeas to show reference
To their perseverance
Sword lillies blooming true
To show a soldier his do
Down close to the creek you see Statice

True Colors (NaPo #25/30)
It's interesting when you read a person's work,
And decide to follow the poet, thinking you like their work.
Interesting, intriguing, and touching works they write,
But after a while, it becomes sad, when you see their true colors, in their new writes
And in their forum posts,
It feels like of their former selves, they've become mere ghosts...
...But you know they've been that way all along,
You were just wrong
About them,
Back then, you knew nothing about them.
When they sit upon a pedestal, and only quote themselves,
And when...

Momentary
Kiss and tell
My heartstreaks a breathstroke
The spells tolled
A bell tolls
Heart, stroke, and ache
Ding ding dong
And time tells
Which stroke is misspelled
This broken mistake
My heartstreaks a breathstroke
The spells tolled
A bell tolls
Heart, stroke, and ache
Ding ding dong
And time tells

Victoria's Day
Back in Queen Victoria's day...sex was
viewed askance...
and never discussed
Not in genteel company
anyway…
as for a gentleman ...why...
The sight of a woman's ankle
could...
take his breath away
And should the lady see.
an artery...
throbbing in his throat...
She would be...most
certainly...
unable to emote.
