You are the first thing I need
When I wake up,

To cure the sleep that
Hangs from my eyes
And takes shelter in my bones,

To feel the warmth of your embrace
Soothe the soul,
Each sip better than the last,
Drink you in until there's nothing left.

When the cup is empty,
The insatiable urge resides,
Energy is restored
And I will face the day knowing
That you will be there again tomorrow.

Using time as an indication
I measure the distance
   Between you and I...
From light years away
Somewhere out there
In the darkness
On the edge
Of forgetful mind...

It's not so painless
To write about us
Our endless poem
Of tragedies
In broken worlds
No longer tethered
In a place where
Lost lovers flee

It's not so simple
To hold these words together
In the waning of my whispering voice
Yet until the pen shall meets the paper
My heart shall have no other choice

And when I'm finally
Forced to fade
Slight of minds
No longer vague
Inconclusively
Placed on trial
Paradoxically wearing
  A black tooth smile...

Hear no evidence
Of my rebellious heart
Encipher not
My darkest art
For I have loved
And lost it all
Forgive my words
And my resolve
....
Traveler Tim

This was written with lies of truth
All my words yet nothing moot

I am a bird
with fine feathers
adorned to skin.

I am a feathered friendly poet
full of songs
to share everyday.

I am a fledgling perched
upon pen singing to world
as wings spread.

And so I shall fly,
uncaged towards light.
calling of a sky-like page.

I misplaced my memory
often struggling to recall
a name, a date, an appointment.

Determined I stand
to change problem.
I got well known brand
to help thoughts align.
Problem is...
I keep forgetting to take it.
I am working on it. LOL
