The illusion of Desire to meet One of a kind Human experience But lacking In every sense Of the words Caught up In semantics That we forgot The emotions Writing drivel Putting us in a state Of disproportionate sadness Annihilating any thought Provoking thoughts For a burst of euphoria Begging to know Which way the wind will blow But wrecked sails Left us stranded Dying of thirst In the midst of blue wide oceans Too tired to think of anything else But the depths of squandered Youth that were plundered By unmotivated people Who just used us And burst at the seams From the ideals taught An artist a lawyer a scientist While everything slipped Through fingers like water Or sand in an hourglass Writing in hopes That it finds you well A glimpse into the tattered mind That was left behind A silly reminder That once there was talent Or whatever you want to call it Now disproportionately depressed We had a bright future Squandered by litigation Trying to define What we never knew As if definition gave us meaning Because they never knew Now you know what the real thing is Maybe you’ll reconsider false accusations But instead you’ll join some club That will stroke your ego I’m not impressed

Road To Bethlehem
I dreamt of you last night And said all I needed to say You asked me why I come back I answered coy fully that I still love you And you asked me what is it really? And I paused and thought and thought And as the text message bubble appeared From your side Because You are all I know You are home You are safety You are all I ever wanted to know The bubble disappeared And reappeared What does that even mean you said? That doesn’t mean anything you said That’s all in you’re head you said I paused you sent me a picture of us I think it was Paris France We were smiling In that world I got to enjoy some time with you The bubble reappeared You need to let us go you said It’s time you said I clung to the phone As if clinging to dear life Okay I said Goodbye I said As I stared at our smiles In a picture that I had never seen Then I think I blew myself in the head As I woke up I could see the message bubble appear Who knows what it said I started to count sheep And wait for the next time we meet

Dreamscape Meetings (Parallel Lives)
Love at first sight Was it real? Twin flames I remember The Greek mythology Humans were originally created With four arms, four legs And a head with two faces Fearing their power Zeus split them into two separate parts Condemning them to spend their lives In search of their other halves Was that real? Is that what happened to us? Or was it stories like these That drove us mad Into a frenzy Beseeched by desires Trying to find what words That Could only theorize But never recreate An idea with no way to fruition Only dream like states And dream scapes Where we touched But could never be A dreams deceit That I never wanted to know Forbidden love Unrequited love Star crossed lovers We were all of that Prayed that my soul could take The hurricane winds ahead And not be torn to bits But it was too late We were in the eye of the storm Before we even realized it was too late To do a **** thing And once we did The soul could not bend We were torn asunder But **** you still looked so pretty With your hands around my throat And as I try to not look back Your name pulls me back For ever and always I’ll never let go

Felt You So Much Today
Dreams devolve We age and grow up Nothing that we wanted Did we get Desires left unchecked Spent all our time Wondering about nothing Excessive pinning For a soul That was never meant to be with us Though I try to move on I linger still Contriving over and over That which never existed Looking for a faint wisp Of that flame once felt But nothing ever adds up Longing for a tell tale But eyes dart away Quickly abandoning Nauseant dreams That only serve To make us ill And still we falter Searching for meaning In what lost meaning long ago An image A word A verse A memory A passage from a book A movie Always brings you to mind But you’re getting hard to find As I drown on painful Existential thoughts That I’m not worth a ****

Nineteen Long Years
Lingering sentiments Pesky memories That arise from ashes A twisted phoenix Waiting for me To burn and mutilate me While screeching her name Reminding me of what I lost And at every crossroad Her ghost Beckons me to her ***** Chastising me for leaving But never offering remorse Celestial star hanging from heaven Lucid dreams unraveling Soft elusive creature I only wanted to love you Through carnal episodes Because that’s all I knew Never meant to break Or hurt you But when you left Took everything from me My innocence And my peace of mind I killed myself again and again Just to be with you Until there was nothing left But memories that evaporate Then come down on rainy days When you appear through The cracks in my mind and heart Flooding me with ice cold water To the point that I can’t breathe Because everything I had wanted Died the day that you left And now I pick up the pieces Wondering which ones are worth keeping Because I see no worth in me After the words you said to me And all that I have shouts at me That it would have been better Had it been you

Ode to Deja Vu
I am terrorized by my mind Day and night Images of longing lust Fill me up until I runneth over With desire Insatiable want A night with a woman That I saw through the screen Desirable, impeccable beauty Forbidden fruit hanging From the limb of a tree Driving me mad With turbulent thoughts Withdrawn from societies eyes In a room by myself What if I could be with her? Would I be happy then? Only an imagined scenario That runs wild at night With unrequited thoughts Misery loves company And I’ve been loving myself For far too long Temptress incapable of love It would only be the same On the other side Nothing is greener Just shades of gray While screaming “Don’t know why I came here” As if I never meant to stay

Screen Dream
Don’t get a big head When you’re given praise Especially when she gives it To everyone else Just a quota That changed our notion Of what true love really is It wasn’t the scene in the movie Or a kiss in the rain Not even the beautiful words in a book It was just an accepting embrace That took me by surprise Until everything I believed Crumbled to the ground Dissolving my soul into nothing Until I was lost in the void Trying to rebuild myself Into everything she ever wanted

Fading
Weary traveler On a forlorn road What are you searching for? Heaven ain’t happening And you’re still living in denial Futile search for meaning When nothing means nothing But still trying to make amends Trying to spin straw into Golden Fleece Living in your own gilded age Deranged youthful innocence Enamored with jealousy But it has never worked In the aftermath of longing There is nothing left to say But good morning How’s your day been Living in a glamorous Secluded glass house Made from your sullen parts Unequivocally unequivocal Just another lost soul Prospering on misery Took another deep breath out of spite Hoping to heal your glass jaw Bound to lose again and again Romantic exacerbator That did nothing but make empty promises Filling their heads with romantic plights That you had no intention of fighting for But they were pretty pictures Painted by prettier words that you heard Spoken somewhere languidly Under the midnight auburn skies

Midnight Hour
How often is lust Mistaken for love Lost in jeweled eyes Wanting to seize the day But too tired to breathe Acting like a fool In search of a Wondrous place But crashing out Into disastrous Situations Been mincing words To dilute the bitterness But it only made it worse A hard pill to swallow But I swallowed it whole And took some more Drove down the road Found her between Pacific coast highway And Studebaker But that was the end Fantastical fantasy Fatally adjourned The antidote For the venom That had been had A nuance of words Solicited illicitly That which Should never have been Had been told And what unfolded Was not destiny But erroneous choices With unforetold consequences That made us ashamed For all that had been lost

Hand to Mouth
Wear a ring pop For what it’s worth Casting fishnets Onto vacant streets And coming up empty Eyes grow dimmer Each year with every tear Existence is bleaker Just like her demeanor I want to go to sleep But I see her face In every dream Twisted and frail Not at all like I remember her Hesitation led to disaster Memories buried in time She never could persuade me That nothing lasts forever I got lucky And it made me mean Outlasting every consequence Until I believed myself indomitable But I said something wrong And it all came crashing down You were right and I was wrong I can say that now That I’m realistically optimistic
