I can still feel you.....
I still hear your laugh
You are still the one
Everyone wishes
They could have.....
You are still .....
The one
Apothecary salve
You soothe my soul
The emollient
smoothes and removes

All my muck and uglies.
Somehow You give me empathy...
For those who bruised me...
For  with you they can see
How beautiful I am ....
And now they envy
The one Everyone
Wishes They had......
You ......
The one who's in love with the thought of being in love..
Me who is perpetually
In love with you only...
your love makes me whole......
Ampersand.......
You elevate me to King ...
All masculine
Top of the world .....
No hands .
..
You make me .....
Wanna be a better  Man.
........
Don't read.....
"Don't read this forgemeknot" on collection  page...color.......

You will find your heart .....
And behave differently
.......
Then everything be still.  
And quiet.    
Urgencies and emergencies
Fade to oblivion.....
All Lilliputs strings....
Slip away tickling
Leaving you tingling
You feel connected
But not bound .
Not afraid to commit a faux pas or mak a loud sound...
Liberated your free .....
Alone you no longer feel lonely
My love will hold and protect you .......
Although you have me
You're security burgeoning
No more need to submit .
This I will not allow you to do.
...
Yet listen to"sunshine superman "
By
Donavan .
Then commit
Or
Not...
It's up to you boo
Either way you are unique
All clichés aside.  .....
You are one In a billion
Completely changed my point of view .......
Yes I really would stop the world an melt with you.....
I'd walk the streets of pain Grrrl ....
8 million times for you....
I never dreamed I'd meet somebody like you.......
At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet .....
With a freight train running through my head....
I know random quotes from songs ist like anything
But original.......
But read beginning to end
Again ......you just did your already beginning to forget
What hinders you now read again ........
You already did.....now you under my love spell
Don't read again or you'll never wanna leave me......
Sup2uboo!

vinum regum, rex vinorum
It's your beauty
Which quenches
Non ducor, duco.
It's only you
I see
Ambrosia
Perpetual euphoria
Plumes of purple haze,
Flavor the air
Sweet muscatto
In fields of saffron
Like glistening drops
Of dew at dawn
I open my eyes
I'm already drunk on you.
The thought of you
Fills my horizon!
You smile I conquer
The world....
Lay it at you feet....
You frown ......
I destroy.....
Burn it down....
It's all for you my love....
You.
Only
You!

Powers out better part of the day ...
Currently staring at the ceiling
Racked by  the cracking ...
The creaking .......
Heart stabbing  slapping
of my stupid screen door.......
Relentless driving wind.  ....
Hell bent on getting in........
Wearied .....
A little worried......
And then ..............
My phone just died
It's 1........13...AM.....
I'm alone..
I'm hearing things .......
Scratching.......whisky throated whisperings.... scuffling........
Morbid moans.....
Bone chilling symphony from
The wailing cathedrals of woe......
Finally there's no more...
  of  the tap tap tapping on the widow.......
Which took all my will to ignore .....
Footsteps on the roof ........
Crash and thud........
Outside my front door.......then like a slow metronome
The pounding ....
Slurring painful groans
At first incoherent...
I SCREAM "
LEAVE ME ALONE ....
THIS IS MY HOME ....."
I begin to understand ...
And I creep across the living room floor .....
It's saying" open the door ,
It's love and the reapers right behind me let me in.........
Finally I can take it no more ....
Butcher knife in hand ....
I rip open the door....
..
And there is nothing more.......
Nothing more than a mirror with me in it........alone and lonely
Except for ........behind me
I can see
A reflection of the SABOTEUR....
The REAPER.......
Shoving a butcher knife in my back .
In retrospect
I  flash back on my relationships of the past
...and it's me .......
Self sabotaging

And the lights come on .....
Metaphorically......
Like an EPIPHONE.

Too fast .....



.........
????????????




Now I'm thinking.....
.......
....
.  
Is it ......
Or is it  knot .....
A good thing
Ptsd induced
Relationship deficit .....
Is this a noose ...,
Or a leash .....
That I'm putting around my neck..?

Is this new found wisdom,
Clairvoyance,
Or paranoia.......
........
Oh ya she got me good ....

Maybe

Let me let you....

And then......... .
Thank you I got this ....
Ill take it from here......

Without histoy...
Who should believe...
Surely not us....
Within what we say
We feel is veracious....
Unfortunately  what people
See.....
Won't allow them to feel that way
Your character is always there before you...  .
It wears what it has to
Not what you tell it too.....
Its usually what someone said about you......

To Picture me,,
Not in love
Would be blaspheme,
And yet I sit
In reflection,
Recompensed by transgressions.....
Committed and convicted of after being forewarned......

Un fathomed .
..forgotten
Forlorned
Chalice full of scorn
Crestfallen
Mourned by the dead.....
Reduced to
Sit in sacloth
Pouring ashes on my head...
Like a pig on a spit
Basted with unsavory things I've done
Seducing  Karma was easy.......
A ruddy little nerd,
Told her she was pretty
The starving little dog ate every word.......
Filtered her eyes with poetry.....
I played the field....
Unconcerned....

Convinced her I was the one... ....
On the day we were to be wed
Fleeced her of everything
Left her at the alter without my vows being said......
now she's Obsessed
No good deed goes unpunished
I'm hex, vexed and hazed...
every glib quip spake
Or every woman that says goodbye to  me.
It's her face I see!
Knuckles
Bleed
Racked with splinters...
Railing loves door...
Afraid to let me in...

born for this chase.......let the race begin...
my heart to carry me
But my souls worn
Thin

..grasping for straws gasping for air.  
Used to return from the forge strengthened shiny ,glistening......
Clean.....
Now I'm the dross.

Fin...
..
.

.
Through the thicket and thatch......
Patiently I waited through my dark age.......
Felt al the pain I've caused ....
I hope.....
And the sun breaks threw ...
Planted to see the points of view .....to understand what I've put people through....
Rising ....
Turned a new leaf.....
Grown heart and temperance
Big as a maple.....
Loyalty strong as an old oak...
Growing and expanding .....
Love as flexible as a willow......and.......
I my goals rearranged......
I know what I want ....
Miracles never cease ......
Ecstatic.  .    I fall to my knees
In heaving gratitude ......tears flow I don't k ow what to say..  .. ..
Until karma come out of nowhere with a brand new Husqvarna
Chain saw ....
And I'm ****** stumped
