I wish he cared about me
and ourselves as a unit
I wish he was 20 years younger
I wish he was honest
I wish he was a tiny bit larger down under
It appears that
I am wishing for someone else
However, my thoughts insist on a version of him
conceived in my mind
a fictitious shadow that will never see the light

I may never get over the roads
the rains
the shortcuts
that cut and scarred my journey long ago
I may never hurtle past
the memories alone
the vices formed
the lessons learned
through experience
in place of philosophy
or words parted by wise elders
I wish I knew before I asked
or played with chance -
a ***** dance
And if redemption is a place
I am coming to meet
I will define it when my psyche is in peace
when the past no longer weighs on me

A former romantic interest once told me,
I was the kind of woman people write poems about
Clueless I was the kind of woman who writes poems
about strange men.
He fell for me in a small mountain town 11,000 ft in elevation
it was a hard fall.

She came from a Minotaur and a Nightmare
wandering the world as a beauty queen
Naively, the world assumes she spawned from a bed of roses
instead of a mistake between monsters
despite a wilderness of warnings

Bait Bombing from above
Is this love?
His talons crush the meat of my soul
Sharp, vivid, and calculated
Spitting pellets of my nucleus
onto rough grassland
Until I am reborn
into a vessel inept from the hunt
Doomed to weave
Cursed to grieve
Oh Athena Pallas, bestow mercy upon Arachne

I took Grief out for a walk
Under a starless sky and moon sliver
I took Grief out for a spin and on a drive
Watering gardens with the tears from my eyes
I laid Grief out during a rainstorm
Blending in with the weather
I took grief out on you and it made you shiver, hardened your heart,and late to deliver
I kicked Grief out of my place
Abandoned at a night club and ran away
Found her grieving in my bed the following day
I took my grief out
Hoping one day it will go away

It was the look in your eyes
Never wore the brakes
Trip of our life
It was the shine in your eyes
Stops me every time
Chilly blue uncontrollable you
Taos brings Chaos
Crestone is half empty on a Full Moon
New Orleans daydreams
of ghosts and Voodoo Queens
Miami sinks under the sea
We are running out of places to be
Centuries-old quest for gold
The sun as our flashlight
The sun hit your eyes
Halts me every time
Chilly blue undefinable you
Drowns me in your monsoon

I miss you in a whirlwind
trails of wind whip my skin
left high and dry
volume in my hair
dust in my eyes
sand in the grit
I miss you in a tailspin
you were just here
tread marks where you been
I miss you in a time capsule
I swallow each mourning
And you loved us into a soapy, bubble
I trusted would never pop

I am raining
the sky is too
the ink is blotting on this letter to you
dark clouds consume light blue
shooting stars hibernate
as I wish for you

Our personal tragedy must fit our personalities
Ripped in two
or smashed to pieces
destroyed all the same
She committed suicide
or left me for another man
she left me all the same
He didn't make it first
or murdered before the finish line
regardless, he failed in rage
I lost him to the sea
I lost him to cancer
loss as the answer
will an increase in self-awareness
cause bliss or the enemy of it
a myriad of pathways to the same place
-----------------------
Does it matter what color and form pain takes?
Would you prefer strawberry
or vanilla flavor
****** up?
No, we don't make our syrups here
And one last thing,
would you like fries with that?
