Spring
we were new
learning each other
& staying so true

Summer
so much heat
we were so passionate
and never discreet

Fall
and the lies started
the fire went out
no more kisses when we parted

Winter
we no longer speak
you pretend i don't exist
and i'm feeling so weak
The aroma of curry
The taste of Thai
those lingering feasts of shrimp pad as you tasted me with your eyes
Perhaps a clove
Black as night
******* you could always do it right
Any song with a driving beat
your rhythms never failed to turn up the heat
The hot hot sun
Splashing cool water following a dive in your lake
my nails on your  back leaving marks as I rake
Green eyes (like emeralds) that twinkle and shine
and a vigorous........laugh
after your breathless plea...be mine
Face time phone time
Endless texting away
keeping me posted every single day
The distinct  scent of pine
Wafting up from my gin
that so-very-determined set of your chin
Gum chewing-oh that can take me so far
Always a pack of spearmint in the car
never stopped you from tasting me so deep and so hard

Seems as though I stay on the yellow brick road
Aching for Oz
But I've lost my way, my map, my carpet that flies
Still taking my trips
Behind the lids of my eyes
Travel is limitless without the confines of reality
I know
I know

                   occasionally

I need a reminder

           You too?

Dead Lock
If only we were dolls
With faces of porcelain
Then we could pick to pieces our paint on smiles
And see what lurks within

Once I was lost
Wandering in my own limbo
Craving for my own life

My dreams would haunt me
My nightmares would disturb me
I felt trapped by the darkness
With no end to the suffering

I was useless,hopeless
Afraid to sleep through another helpless night
Thinking that death
Might have been the only way out

However,even in dark times
Help comes in different ways
The moon turns into the sun
The night turns into day
The darkness turns into light
And once again,
You feel the cold breeze in your face
The warmth of the sun in your heart
The ones you love around you.

Death-throws
i can hear her giggling from the living room
soft giggles, loud smiles, no more bundles of gloom
shes making the boy smile
making me smile too
because the hay stack ive been looking in doesnt even have any needles
and the path i thought i was following has turned out to be my own ,
i thought i was so lost,
i was so scared that i was alone
but as it turns out,
Ive never been far from home,
i love her,
she makes me love myself
ive never wanted to be with anybody else,
im glad that i found you
because in finding you
ive manged to find myself

I am a mixed drink of contradictions.
My blood runs in two different directions.
One toward poverty,
the other toward power.
They both run out of fuel too quickly.

I am your midnight lover,
made up of hallucinations and desperate
attempts at sanity.
Always falling short of falling in love,
while falling between you and the bottle.

I am a broken record stuck in place;
repeat, repeat, repeat.
Impossible to move on.
Never learn from your mistakes,
just learn to make better ones.

Plastic tents,
these ******* beeps
and maddening
******* sounds.
Dear Lord,
I want to go home...
but I left my legs
in the desert,
somewhere
near where
the pink-mist
engulfed me.
