fish

your defective to silence me the way you do.
hush, you say
dont want to tumble the only thing that cures this demeaning disease of loves bruise.
come on, enjoy this bedraggled place i found for us
live underneath my abomination to keep me alive and gorge this  everlasting painful blaze
Im sorry i let you inside my heart, just for you to liquidate this not so giving trust.
the pieces are falling, why must it be your way alone.
My toes are crushed and eyes are suffocating from this lack of emotion strait from your relinquished hate.
fit with me

Besides

Under this balded dome

Does lie a brain—groan!—

 

Older’n mortal sin.

 

The wrongs I’d tell

I’m guilty of

 

At Neskowin,

Oh, ladylove,

 

Will send me straight to hell.

 

Besides, I would not know

Where to begin.

Journey

I have walked thousands of miles it seems, in no particular direction

Looking and searching for that one special connection

Back and forth, here or there

A time it seems, whatever direction the wind blowed

Where I’m headed only God knows

It has been a fantastic ride

But oh so long and never ending at times

As I continue this journey of enormous pride

Collecting battle scars along the way

And life time wounds, that don’t go away

Seeing images of my yesterdays

While praying for my tomarrows

Time Changes Things

No doubt, that with time comes change

And change takes time

Nothing remains the same

Like the sun shining after the rain

Like a picture without a frame

Like a blind man walking without his cane

Still you must maintain

Like your heart beating without the pain

As you try over and over again

But time won’t make it plain

Which makes you refrain, from it all

Just hope and pray that the change in time

Keeps you sane

So you don’t complain

then you can always see the sun after the rain

A Morning Sensed

I can feel the warmth of the new day emerging,
as the sun gives in to its’ morning workout,
slowly reaching up high to lick at the skies.

I take sight to the cracking diamond-studded night
when the twilight slowly treads back in doubt,
giving way to the day, not willing to defy.

Soon I taste the sweet dew of morning.
after being carried in by a gentle breeze,
it softly hints of the day soon to come.

Now the smell of the crisp and salty air lingers
once stolen by the wind from the rough seas
now made calm to be let free before the sun.

DUST OF HEART

she watchs television

and i listen

her thin frail arm sweeping

 

the arms that held me close

combed my hair

set me on the fall bus

 

they are on fire

blackened by puncture wounds

the sharp tip seeking soft veins

 

morphine drip in one arm

(did i bother to look??)

 

"you were the one i counted on

 to look after me the most when

 i got sick like this!!!"

 

when i left finally i never went

back

hmm

 We’ve sewn together

Actually I think that it was called knitting

better yet Crochet

we crocheted squares

creating bonds immortal bonds

never meant to be broken

squares, immortal squares

4sides, 90 degree angles, simple and easily understood

we would move on to scarves and bags once I perfected my skill

and you grew old less.

OKay

This is what mommy called bonding time

spending time with grandma before she died of old age

misused anatomy

this isn’t poetry but a reflection

White Flag

Can I muster strength for courage

Will I tread these waters true

Can I count my blessings one by one

Have the answers to the clues

Its a hectic day inside again

My umbrella starts to leak

This terror grabs me by the throat

I choke- and I can’t speak!

Can I focus my ways into happier days

With my comfort by my side

Or is it the truth

I must walk through my youth

And not enjoy the ride.

Won’t erase the past

Just know it won’t last

Too long

It keeps me down
