Sometimes I do not know what to write,
What to think or even,
How to feel.
So I let my subconscious take lead,
and my fingers obey
Like a loyal dog with fleas
I feel I have to write
As desperate as the dog needs to itch
But sometimes the dog will itch so much it leaves a wound,
And the wound is still itchy
Soon before the dog knows, it's infected
Now it's on its way to the vet
Where the vet gives it cream and a cone around it's neck.
Unfortunately for the dog and unbeknownst to the master
The itch cream doesn't work.
Now, the dog is stuck with an itch and no way to scratch it.
But at least the dog doesn't have fleas anymore

Purple Petals
Summer at last
It's almost already gone past
Flowers still in bloom
Here's a purple one just for you.
I'll place it here just for you
Hoping it calls to you
Will you come visit me soon?
It could even be at noon.
Summer sweet tea
Just the way you like it
I'll pour you a glass
If I can just ask,
How have you been?
It is bright and sunny?
I hope it's filled with laughter and your favorite flavored honey
Or maybe that sweet candy coffee you'd make
In that green cup you'd never forget to take
It still sits there
Maybe not where you left it
But I made sure I kept it.
I use it as a vase
For the flowers in my garden
Reserving it for the purple ones
Because I know it's your favorite color
And now it's mine too
It makes me feel so close to you
Purple petals cover the ground
All the hues, make me miss you
I just wish I didn't dismiss you
Because I didn't know how much time we had left
Now I can only move forward
Towards the sun, remembering to have fun
For you, dear mother.

When the lands have run dry,
And the fruits have shriveled up
When the breeze makes you shiver
And the bees are laid to rest
I Remember our December
The warmth of candle lit conversation
And our anticipation
I sowed the seeds of our regret
After the frost, to forget.
And in the spring came the crop.
Then the memories came flooding in
A beautiful harvest, but one only I got to see
Far too late
Too much for me to bare, it lays rotting.
Baron and defeated
And then the cycle continues
Each year, the fields more fruitful than the last
And each year I let it rot away.
Fragile memories never looked back.
I reminisce on what could have been
And then a little dove, flew through my window
To remind me of what was
I tended to the harvest that year.
I cherished every fruit, handling it with care
Looking back on each memory we shared.
Each a hard lesson to learn from
The love is gone but not forgotten
Now each year I collect
No longer neglecting the fields
Using my yields to learn and grow
But always knowing, how I'll miss you so

I toss and turn in the moonlight
Your love is like moonshine
Bitter, but with a wild side
Prickly like thorns
And beautiful like your roses
Lady of the moon, bathe me in your beams
Let me mold like the rotten husk I am
Let me sink into your ocean
Craddle me in your caverns
Let me drown in what is you
Cleanse me of my sins
And rebirth me anew
So that I may be perfect for you
