52/M "I'm not lost, I just don't know where I am." Me.
I scoffed at enlightenment, Then it embraced my battered mind

Ten too good buddy
The silence hits harder than a punch, Yet time flies by. But oh so slow when words, once so easy, become lodged in the deep well of insecurity and defiance. The dichotomy a crescendo with each silent passing hour. The fire's smoke, now whimpering tendrils, flit out as if caught in a breeze. But the air is still, the storm is only raging in my unsettled mind, And the next farewell may become another Eulogy to love lost.

That simple fleeting touch of skin on skin, Heaven itself

Ten again
Gratitude, the catalyst for healing, When you accept it's value

Get some
I left before I left. I just didn't know then.

Yeah
I visit your grave at the cemetery and I feel nothing, This horribly beautiful and peaceful place. All I see are monuments to death. I don't think of you there. I remember gripping your finger, As we walked to mass on a Saturday night. I think of the times we shared a beer, The times we made each other laugh. The one time you made us cry, Was when you left us. But, left us with loving memories and hope, That one day we'd see you again. Now when I visit the grave, I want to laugh in the face of death Then tell him he'll never win. You're in my heart and in my head forever. Someday we will all marvel at the lives we've had, Inspired by one great man to some, Simply Da to me

Vita Et Morte
Accept those thoughts in there, Every one is yours alone.

Accept 10
In a room full of people there you were. Two hundred eyes all seeing something different, And there you were, seeing just one pair of eyes. A solitary tear escapes my grip and tumbles onto the cold floor. The tear is pride and affection. I looked up again and there you are, Being you.

Crush
Will I bring you dying flowers? You want me to court you, You want me to wine n dine you You want me to love your kids You want your Mum to like me But you still want dying flowers? I want you to hold my hand I want you to walk in the grass barefoot I want you to sing to empty rooms Dance. I’m not bringing you dying flowers I want to give you seeds I want you to water them I want you to love something That isn’t person or animal There are no worse cuts than cutting through life that isn’t your own

Bouquet
Just because I tell you that you’re pretty Doesn’t mean I’m taking you home Beauty is kindness Love isn’t defined by the size of your waist Nor how long you can hold my gaze Beauty is still kindness I may tell you I love you Years before I want you Just be kind to me Take a piece of me with you In the dark days it may light the way Now be kind to you Love is within Share it Always
