A Mess of Words Nov 2020

Gloom

Wine no longer makes heart glad

Bread does not satisfy

Here alone in darkened room

I sit and wonder why

Untitled

(I still hear (your)
Quavering voice,
As if you are yet unsure
Of all you may say..)

..But time flows on,
In only one way..

(And though wistful..
You might never again
Drift near me,
to simply stay..)

****

Your thighs

As golden Caribbean beaches,

And my lips:

Marathoners.

Hooked

I could spend
Four hundred
Thousand
Kisses
On you,

And never touch
The same place twice.

Torn

Soon after
Her vampire kisses
Injected sweet lust
Into my veins

She peeled apart
My aorta
Like pulled pork

And vanished
With the last fragments
Of
Whatever heart I had.

Time

Time mantles us
in weariness;

years anchored
to our feet.

our souls may ever
soar and dive;

our bodies shall
to dust retreat.

Heartbroken

I was born into
This disjointed world,
Already heartbroken;
And given only
Sixty years or so
To reckon therein.
