It seems we have slipped from a dream to a nightmare.
Ow,
suppose I'd better grow up
get up and get on with the day
but
if I could find a way to delay
doing it
would I take it?

and if I won cash in
the lottery
which always seems to
have forgotten me,
must be they had a lobotomy
or it could be that they don't
like me,
I'd take it for certain and
hide it under the mattress

but
then I'd probably worry more
and sleep less,

*** it
I'll just get up
and
get on with it.
I carry your wedding ring
Around in my pocket
The weight serves not as a reminder
Of your love
But as a warning
That even you
Could show such softness

nivek
on a roll
eternal treadmill

one day
time will come
You need to take care of you
        No one else will
Inside and out
Your body and soul needs care
It doesn’t matter about the hair
Or what you wear
Neat and clean
Chin up

Today is better than yesterday,,,,
~
drawn to a twinkling
crown of muted lights

a moment in the waterfront
of your eyes

in between circadian rhythm
and a place called irresistible

there we listen to sun-filled hymns
and children's laughter

not caring what comes after...

~

You've made yourself  miniscule ..

in order to fit in to my Bloodstream
You are unsure..  not knowing

That there is a  chamber  within me
that has been carved out   solely

     for you--

The warmth of blood-flow,  caressing;
Bathing,  the you that feels you can't..

  That feels  there isn't..

That believes  there can never be
  A Home such as this--

       .. for you ;;
Residing, in the central part
    of me.

Alone  in the  chamber
  of your room..
You can't understand  why

things are different,  now;
..Why  everything you do

and everything  you say

   Feels so incredibly,,

   Incredibly  Warm


yeah..   Warm..
:)
