He is a nature guy,
Fish, cuts roses,
Spending his time,
Building houses

Or run a country,
Whatever you wish for,
He would survive anyway,
Such hindsight or fore?

Art is his religion,
He walks away alone,
In the mist,
But he is never on his own

Dance moves,
Empty living room,
I didn't write him,
To be blue

I wish I had met you before,
Now I think it's too late,
You know I had this problem,
Always with timing.
"Hindsight. It's like foresight without a future"-G.M.

I seek my worth in others
Live on "sorry to bothers"
And find my world in books
As reality won't let me close

I deprive myself
Of things that I don't have
And for you I think
I cannot prove less

I observe, I'm like a house plant
And the worst thing is,
I never start,
I just say I can't

And sometimes all I feel is fear
For me, nothing is ever clear
And I could shed a thousand tear,
I'm always gone to be right here.

The Laughing Man,
I call you that,
A mix of orange, light brown led,

You don't like us,
You frighten me,
Alone, young, it's so lonely,

And as I watched you,
Beer in hand, big, smiley face,
I knew you were a severe case,

I might know your story,
Left behind,
I won't ever see you cry,

Then keep your distance,
Laughing Man,
Show them that you never care,

You are fine and life is cool,
But I won't ever be your fool,
I see past pretended grins,
Empty stares and uptight chins.

If You are blue, I must be yellow
Outrageous,
I'm much more mellow

Forget-me-not brilliance
It's my favorite shade,
The sunflower is mine in a way,

You're the clear, blue sky
The honey in the lion,
Something sweet from strong, not sour,

Color of a bitter fruit,
The way You paint a starry night,
Sorry for keeping You in disguise,

I realize now, that I'm lost and blue,
But Your shades,
They all shine through.

Blue                      kept
Bridge                  locked
   ­ Gray            came   
Faith
Dust
Fence
Gone

***
He didn't tell me to keep it,
But I know a secret when I hear one.
Dolores Jan 2022
Where do you go?
You just died
I could see it
Like a thousand times

One step ahead
Fond of planning
Like the sharpest knife
Always stabbing

Bury your secrets
Under the birdbath
In your backyard
Through the red path

And I won't look for signs
My eyes wide shut
Still find yourself
Among prison walls
