i woke this morning from a
lovely dream-i was young again
and kissing my woman and
we were laughing

and behind us was stacked
shoe boxes full of money..
someone said something and
i awoken..

ii

lily, i have tried to remember,
such a charm,
standing in front of the golden
mask

of tutankhamun..silence
like a sundown desert
reigned but what did i
ask..

i asked,or wished
the beauty and wisdom
for vision and calm
the love of the pyramid..
I planted seeds of love in your eyes,
Tended the garden, with a lover's sighs.
I nurtured every bloom, every tender shoot,
But now the garden's overgrown, and I'm lost in its fruit.

The vines of passion, once so carefully pruned,
Now choke the beauty, that our love had tuned.
The flowers of hope, that bloomed in every place,
Now wither, like my heart, in this desolate space.

I watered the soil, with tears of devotion,
But the garden's grown wild, and my love's in motion.
It's a jungle of what-ifs, a tangle of pain,
A beauty that's lost, like the love that remains.

In this garden overgrown, I'm searching for a way,
To prune the heartache, to clear the path each day.
But the more I tend, the more it seems to grow,
This garden of love, that I nurtured, and now can't let go....

i post things i don’t even care about just to make you wonder if i’m still someone worth missing
In being defensive
     the person reduces
     their self-  they are
     self-enclosed as in a cage

     locked-in,  looking only within
     all life's wonders and challenges
     to them are no longer open
     all before them is mist and haze

     no friend knocks on their door
     in stealth and isolation they hide
     shut are all their windows
     their fears and anxieties multiply

     to nothingness
     they shrink
     in their cry
     for solace
      none is nigh
     and in dire loneliness
     they fade away and die
