Belly Button
 May 2016 LJ

Hello poets and hello love,
Remember my belly button,
It had some fuzz,
Hilarious myth
That was actually true,
I was selfish the years I had with you.

I'm sorry.

I want to start completely anew,
And love every second of all that you do.
I want to learn what's all in your head,
The nights after work as we lay in our bed,
Every minute apart is completely a waste,
I dream and wish and pray for those days.

Numbered Days

Spring is here,
Bringing memories so dear,
Deep within my heart,

I think of the days,
We used to smoke,
And watch
The squirrels at the park,

I cocked my hip,
As you took a pic,
Standing from behind,
I'll suffer through the days without you,
For it's only a limit of time.

Prologue

I love you,
I love you, from the bottom of my heart,

I'll whisper that,
In your ears,
When we're no longer apart.
(I bet it gives you chills)

You did the same to me,
All those nights really late,
I'd ride my bike to you,
And I'd hop over those gates,
Then in through the window,
Where you would be awake,
(a few times you weren't)

That mile and a half,
Riding in the dark,
Sometimes it was foggy,
But there were always sparks,

I've tried living without you,
It's been nothin but a mess,
If I have to live without you,
I'll be miserable at best.

So I say again my beautiful girl
I love you
I love you, from the bottom of my heart.

Split Seas

If I could paint one picture, what our love meant to me.
I'd paint such a masterpiece, where sunset meets the sea.
Splashing vibrant colors, reds mixed in with blues.
Combining orange and yellows, all soaking in for you.
The painting placed in lovely frame, would hang and last forever.
But unlike such a special piece, we wouldn't stay together.
Each night the sun and ocean meet, once more they become one.
Our love however didn't last, the dreams had come undone.
The painting will then forever be, a remembrance of me and you.
Of how we couldn't harmonize, as a sun and ocean do.

Your promise

of love afloat

like daffodils

on a mirage

In redeemed thought of passion lives His will

Scramjet engines **** oxygen and go

Miles faster than sound and lighter they fly

Discoveries reward humans

With out The Trees oxygen become scarce

Entered searching for my berth
And settled with a sigh
You asked if I want water
Sipping I removed tie

Whistling loud the train then rolled
Nobody else in there
Only our souls in that coupe
just you and I to share

We were silent for a while
Then we started talking
Chatting that went on and on
theme was interesting

Many a thing were so common
our thoughts started matching
Went on till four in the morn
but time went on ticking

For me you sang those numbers
Even told me to try
Don’t know when that we dozed off
Woke up when sun was high

Dressed up and sat for breakfast
Served each other with care
Wondered how close we became
though coming from somewhere

Then we headed to the door
Opened and we sat there
Morning rays from azure sky
through the trees dancing glare

When fresh breeze from woods crept in
Your hair tickled my ear
Scenic beauty refreshing
You and nature so near

Whole day how we laughed and laughed
Night at eight we will part
Thoughts in heart running so fast
Like a train and a dart

Station had come, you got down
We parted, wishing well
Train then picked up momentum
Hurting was that farewell

Came back to coupe, on your berth
saw the library card
With your photo and address.
Ray of hope splashed this bard

let's all revel in the duplicity
duplicate posts that lack authenticity
authentic thoughts fall to the simplicity
simple minds are guilty of complicity

a new origin of no originality
original thinking crushed by formality
formal rules lead to our commonality
common perspectives to lower our mentality
This is mainly about how facebook is full of mis-information, and a lot of people lack originality. They just thoughtlessly hit "share".

The stars scream your name in my eyes




Coming to me as constellations
A light in darkness I never knew
The night sky is empty without them
And my life is empty without you

I love the stars as a part of forever
Something greater than the life I know
The hungry night that eats all light
But still I can watch them glow

And when I don't want to hear
The stars scream your name in my eyes
So that all that I feel is confirmed
By points of light painting the skies

The stars whisper as daylight sets in
They speak your name on my tongue
And even on full moon nights
Its a new day that has begun

The stars scream your name in my eyes
And shine deeply into my soul
A more beautiful sight was never seen
There is nothing more I need to know

The stars......
Your name
Now very drunk. Saturday night biotchez!!!!
