This "fairytale" I call life is Brother Grimm, too messy for Disney
Separate the good, the bad and the ugly
Or lump all three together and just label it me
Who or what is responsible for this travesty?
Well,
That's easy
Place me in font of a mirror and you'll see

Time to move on over the painp
Growing strong from the hurt
It's 2024 you're remembering from 2008
Forgive moved on stop carrying the hate
Near death never lost faith
One day be great never settle for less
Not letting the past dictate my fate
Living with the guilt and tripping
Dropping the burden to be free
Use to be friends now strangers
Sorry things had to end can't pretend
Made effort to change to be better
You'll never know fade away
Our friendship is the past fading away

Poetry is not dead
The beauty within
Defines the world you live in
Some days are hard
Some days are blessed
Open to grow more than the rest
And everything
Had happened
The way they promised
It wouldn’t.
We hug
We kiss
We cuddle
In bed

We were just friends
We made out
To him
We were having ***
To me
We were making love
I was his friends with benefits
But he was my lover
Halfway empty
Constant frustrations
Supressed thoughts
Devastation
Hesitating

Found purpose
Losing myself
Under tears
Staying complaisant
Forgetting myself
Starving for life
I've missed you poetry.
The sky is
A graveyard of stars

And I remark
Something so tragically beautiful

Just like fireworks of art
From here to the nearest star

And I wish
I could lay awake
In the night

With you
And our lingering hearts

And tell you all about a tragedy
Called life
I should’ve
waited
for someone
like
her to
come
into my
life.
For the first time in my
life, I saw colors- not like
normal people see colors; my recent woman
sees colors all the time.
This morning, there was
purple splashed all over my room.
Once, in her sleep, she said
the word 'purple.'
I asked her what it meant,
she said, 'Knowledge of the future.'
I know she will try and ***** this
sickness out of me; God Bless her.
What do I know about the future?
I know it looks bleak, and the
doves are crying.

Check out my you tube channel where I read from my recent book, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, available on Amazon.com
So everything that I wished for , happened in some other universe and
maybe the ' other me ' wanted all of this that's happening with me now...
It all happened in the other world.
I did something that I always wished for.
I pursued my childhood dreams .
I had great memories of school.
I enjoyed in 2023.
And so many more wishes...
