Today 5:58am
our incomplete story...
It was only an hour,
but it was
an emotional connection
of mouth to mouth
and tongue to tongue
while we were tasting
each other....
Time passed...
n the night spread it's hair
I had embroidered
desires on my dress
but he could not
unbuttoned my dress
Well I was not wrong
my feelings were not wrong,
but the time was wrong...
I wasted his time
I could not fit
into his free structure
he said..."don't come again.."
n the happiness
the excitement
that...
but it was
an emotional connection
of mouth to mouth
and tongue to tongue
while we were tasting
each other....
Time passed...
n the night spread it's hair
I had embroidered
desires on my dress
but he could not
unbuttoned my dress
Well I was not wrong
my feelings were not wrong,
but the time was wrong...
I wasted his time
I could not fit
into his free structure
he said..."don't come again.."
n the happiness
the excitement
that...

beaten down
I kicked off my shoes
just to feel the cool earth for one last time
autumn confetti crunching beneath bare feet
perfect day for a stroll
nowhere in particular to go
only the need to move
stretch the bones & shake off the dust
a sky so vividly blue...
I walked looking straight up
I heard the voices before they came into my view
he was berating her for delaying them
she wanted to stop & pet a dog
her voice was lowered
barely more than a whisper
in that constant appeasement tone
his baritone...

I didn't find Title
In the stillness of dawn,
In the depths of my soul,
I search for the truth,
The answers I seek,
In the shadows I pursue.
I delve into my past,
The memories I hold,
To find the key to my future,
To unlock the secrets untold.
I am a puzzle, waiting to be solved,
A riddle waiting to be deciphered,
But with each step I take,
I grow closer to being captured.
Suddenly new day is born,
A chance to start again,
To leave the past behind.
The world is washed clean,
By the gentle rain,
A fresh start for all,

Swing .
I had no idea how much you could miss
someone. I mean from the morning until
the dark . How you lost your happy place
in the park someone took your swing and
you’re middle aged and acting out like
you are aged five . Except a broken heart
isn’t playing games it feels like digging your
own grave but you are theoretically alive .

Star Gazing At Angels
Serenading sadness I star gaze...
I love when you look at me
big soulful eyes
sharp and to the point
icy blue tells me not to
but I must provoke you
Inside me I doubt you feel the fire that is me
all consuming, a massive black hole
with an intensity of many suns
Chaos at the heart of things
mischief sparks the imagination
captivating your attention for a time
Speaking in a language you don't understand
you dance to my psalms
projecting other worlds for your pleasure

Insomnia's grasp is tight,
Insomnia's grasp is tight,
a vice that won't relent,
A prisoner in my own mind,
I'm lost in this endless descent.
The darkness swallows me whole,
as time slips by unseen,
The world outside fades away,
as I'm trapped in this dream.
The night becomes a day,
and day becomes a night,
A never-ending cycle of sleep deprivation,
leaving me lost in this plight.
I search for solace in the silence,
but it's deafeningly loud,
I long for the sweet release of slumber,
but it seems forever out of reach.

Too near or far
This is the second time I've had to think twice
The golden boy has tarnished and lost his lust for life
The wheel of fortune has come to a stop
The wildside walk has reached its height and now there's a drop
Laughter is the language of the soul
But the comedians crowd has turned away and he's stuck In a hole
The Cheshire cats been hit by a car
The end is in sight but it's always too far
The golden boy has tarnished and lost his lust for life
The wheel of fortune has come to a stop
The wildside walk has reached its height and now there's a drop
Laughter is the language of the soul
But the comedians crowd has turned away and he's stuck In a hole
The Cheshire cats been hit by a car
The end is in sight but it's always too far

nothing

i am

a fantasy

she has
settled down,
i must
keep moving.

River of Sorrow
All that you have, even all that you are,
Will one day be lost
If not already, 'tis yet to come
Each loss feeds a drop of sorrow
Into the stream that bubbles beneath the surface,
Coloring each day, each moment, in a slightly off-color hue
Until it grows into a raging torrent
That when least expected, bursts through with a stunning eruption of sadness,
Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe
There is no escape - to wish it were otherwise
Is to wish to be other than human - ...
Will one day be lost

Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe

A Sad Love Poem
I wonder if Nova desires my embrace tonight.
Is she hoping that I’m thinking about her?
Does she wonder if we’ll be together again?
Has she ever had sweet dreams about me?
Perhaps she still feels bad about our breakup.
Is she lonely and sad because she has lost me?
I think about my beautiful baby all the time.
Sometimes I feel that we’re destined to be apart.
How I long for her passionate kisses on my lips.
Many nights I’ve had sweet dreams about her.
I regret the decision to end our love affair.
Now I’m so...
Is she hoping that I’m thinking about her?
Does she wonder if we’ll be together again?
Has she ever had sweet dreams about me?
Perhaps she still feels bad about our breakup.
Is she lonely and sad because she has lost me?
I think about my beautiful baby all the time.
Sometimes I feel that we’re destined to be apart.
How I long for her passionate kisses on my lips.
Many nights I’ve had sweet dreams about her.
I regret the decision to end our love affair.
Now I’m so...
