you can only look at love through the veil
and even then only in flashes
as blinding as the Sun, love would have you journey in faith.

My water tastes
like the lake tonight
and plop and fizz
aren't helping this burning
sensation in my heart
and I'm thinking about the lake
mostly due to the taste
and I remember a time when I went
to a lake where the water was so
clear
that I could see the bottom
which was several feet down
and on the bottom
rested many smooth
stones
tossed and tumbled
throughout the endless
motion
and I wonder if those stones
ever look at the jagged stones
and tell them that they just need
to relax and go with the flow
and if these stones tell the ones
that compose our homes
that they work too hard and really should
just take a vacation
like where I would rather be now,
on a lake
with the endless screaming
of stones
holding my body afloat.

Hello Poetry likes me
Hello Poetry loves me

Sometimes Hello Poetry
likes me and loves me

Because Hello Poetry
isn't sure which is best

let's write a song together, lyrics like, "you don't love me no more
see you walk out the door, wondering why it took you so long
your cuteass in tight jeans, a curse and a blessing to watch you leave"
got an upright piano in the corner that's sort of been neglected
and it plays every other C out of tune, but we can't afford a tuner
to come by and nor can we buy new strings for a guitar

we get up, we fall down, we find love, and we crash all the way
and heaven help us, now that we're separate and on our own
love the route it takes us to a melancholy mood that's so particular
and so comfortable to be wrapped up in an ocean of blankets
under a crepuscular night~ play that song all night and have it repeat
when you're at work and it'll burn itself in the background forever

you don't know how to carry
the burden of being alone
you can try by pretending
to have company.

But in the end of the
day, sleep
is your
best friend.

deep desire drizzling today, dark clouds drained by weight....

We all are writers, few writing poetry,
all writing destiny.....
