There is a choke in my throat
An exhale waiting to be had
A river of tears running through
A mountain of sad

A silent scream
on the tip of my tongue
Stays silent
because it's all been said and done

What there was, is gone
I know that now
What I can't swallow
Is the why or the how

It stays there, like a choke in my throat
As I go through my day
Feeling tears that never run
And thinking things I'll never say

stubbly chin
you within
hands explore
our naked skin

lips so soft
molten bliss
tingle touching
squeeze **** kiss

Translucent feelings
Uncertain dealings
Waiting waiting game

Untenable desires
Plump opaque heart
Waif dreams

Dappled time
Smarm sublime
Plot twist ...

Hankering for fresh juicy thinking

Little white rusty door
I wonder, what are you for?
Secret passage to other lands
With golden seas and blackened sands
Or tiny stairs to a grey cloud sky
Where music sleeps and dreams drip-dry
Or slider tunnel down below
Delving deep where creatures glow
Or a stronghold for precious hearts
After the crimson sky fallout starts
Little white rusty door
I wonder, what are you for?

I never cared, mouthed the lips
Like liquid concrete, cold and hard
No warmth or crinkles of care

Eyes like glass, an empty one
Harsh judgment, all soft gaze expired
Compassion extinct. Nothing there.

You are not welcome here
Says the silence, loud and clear
Do I vanish? Into thin air?

This face that lit every nerve and cell
Is expressionless and will not tell
Of a time when it did really care

Snake slithers in
To the dragons lair
To quell his flames
And stroke his hair

Perilous desire
At first kiss
Emotions on fire
Untamed bliss

Squeezing flesh
Burdened guilt
This want is a need
Reality full tilt

Molten passion
Thrashing. Rough.
Goosebumps glisten
Never enough…

Green dot
Hot spot
Tempt a lot
Think not
Haven't got
Courage

Utopian visions
Idea collisions
Thought revisions
Change decisions

Impossible possibilities
Nonsensical sensibilities
Impractical practicalities
AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Clingering pain
Wrappering blame
Failanguishing again
In this memoryless game

Testful domain
Obstahazards the same
Channel it Jane
Moveswitch & Reframe

Round and round
Clothes & thoughts
Cycles of sound
Time is bought

With suds to spin
And bleach renew
With grit we clean
And work on through

This baggage we've carried
But soon no more
Overflow clothes and worries
We let them go

We look at them clean
And truthfully say
Does this spark joy?
No? Then be on your way

And thank you for your service ❤️

My bed is broken
My heart a flake
Eyes sealed dripping
With my mistake

Soliloquies of sorrow
Cloudmaking with clarity
Pockets of fluffy heart
Nesting in memory
Mirrored truth cracks
Words like weapons
Silence reigns supreme
Opaque feelings drained
Shame on the shelf
Revealing translucent self
Turn the page
Turn the page
New chapter of thinking...

sweet abandoned hope
crashing waves of a memory filled sea
no point in wishing
that you'll repair things with me

It's becoming a calm love
A swell from within
That captures our memories
of our love and our skin

Tis really no matter
If we no longer delve deep
We've been there, we know it
And there's no need to weep

Our bond is formed
And it is lifelong
I'm yours and you're mine
It's ours, it's not wrong

I love you, always have
and if we need to let go
our shared love will live on
While our hearts stay open to grow

Ripples begin
Stirrings within
Message in a bottle
and a note herein

Saying... Tides go out
In times of drought
but return to you I will
Without a doubt

Sand reaches out to sea
soaking up every complexity
I'll stay here for you
But I'll set you free

So sea and sand
Go hand in hand
for their reunion dance
at moonlight, across the land

When we connect to the parts of each other that are hidden, it is no surprise to be cut loose. It's not each other that we say goodbye to, it's those parts of ourselves.

We jump into the night because we feel there is dawn
We give our whole hearts even though they're well worn
We strive for our goals while feeling forlorn
We do what we can, and in persistence, our character is born
