The widow in the window wondered
If there ever was a feeling of joy
Before her and her husband sunderd
A thought that will destroy

The widow in the window weeped
At the loss of love
Now neither shall keep
The linen white dove

The widow in the window worried
Of dark thoughts on her mind
A hope for the distress to be hurried
A chance of joy to find

The widow in the window sunderd
The husband long dead
The widow in the window wondered
With doom upon her head
a heart made of stone
never will know
the freedom love holds

never at rest
the living dead
where a heart is kept

tight in the grip
dark in the chest
thoughts in the head

it must soften up
a heart made of stone
if it's ever to know love
He squeezes her shape into a suit that fits
But happily disregards the ones that don't,
As every material or materialistic item
Is merely just temporary clothing he wears for his comfort.

Her silky waist down and up to her cotton flammable heart,
Both burn and tear just as easy as the next,
Despite his sweet persona,
He's as bitter and acidic as chemistry gone wrong.

But he washes and rinses her into a wave of hope,
And she drowns,
Because she has been habituated to drowning.

Cold bones is her love,
But he always glides away like a ghost in the night,
Questioning whether he bleeds the same blood,
Because is it humanly possible to do the things he could.

She has dreamt of his silhouette all night
But is unable to see the whole faded image,
The silence has become part of her,
You clipped the angel wings she would bare just for you
And is no longer able to fly.

Instead she drowns in an ocean that you quaked,
Suffocated on an island of crashed cold bones,
Cold, cold bones.

Even when she was the soldier
That never fled from battle,
You made her the brute
With a machine heart and machine mind,
Steered from her innocence
And tenderness to be kind.
As promised! Just a quick writen whilst on my lunch break at work! Haha.
10 toes to the ground
looking up at the ladder
and so down at my friends
dipping thoughts within this bawl
within this depression
this is the rush through my veins!
it's the adrenaline
it's the height i need!
this the cut through my hair!
they inch themselves, i long for myself!
my time'll be the slowest
but i'll do better!
i'll be better!

:d
sad how
I get on a roll
and have to go to Annie's Country store at
6:30 am
refill
my inspirations
sadder yet is the cats and my Labrador
expecting treats
when I get back six pack in hand
and cigarettes
good ****** thing I got
hot dogs left
and
I see
the timorous beggar hand
out for his next
hit
drink
satisfaction

an infant alone while
his mom ***** a stranger
for diapers

the man glowing
after he killed the lion
he has ten giraffes
on his wall already

the fireman needing to
start a fire to fight

the mailman how
onerous his deed
to go crazy
m-16

the machines taking
over
Id's as Ip addresses
and innocence

so far removed
from any  semblance
to reality
I think my eyes are just dry
but it happens more
when I reread your letter
of goodbye
or sit on the stoop
and the best sunset ever dies
over the distant hills
or see Breakfast at Tiffany's
for the umpteenth time
my eyes got real
dry the other day
when my sweet little kitty
I saw her born
saved her from drowning in a
mop bucket
brought her in after she  was mauled by a dog
gave birth and took to it
like it was not the first time
instinct is a *****
and someday
gonna find the gene
that makes me cry
like a *****
and turn it off
that is all I got
the 22 stuck in my seventh rib
his face
a caricature
of a man in ***** hose

he acting too nervous I started
to grab for the gun
thought better
this might be it

let me pose a situation to him
as I thought of what might be
disarming

thought of god  themes
nursery rhymes
big bad wolf  
is all that came to mind

discarded that
all this
in an instant
flashing

a muzzle so far quieted so
on a roll
I said you
look familiar

like my great uncle
he was  a great scoundrel
swam out
during prohibition

on the river
he was twelve
brought back kegs of
beer and whisky

made in one night
more than his dad did
in a week
of work for the system

gave his mom half to
buy things
and keep the lights
on

this was when electricity had first
made her wires out
to the hills
of Tennessee

he started to leave and I said
bless you son
I know your predicament
he had tears

as he shouted
shut the **** up
old man
