My thirst is quenched, for the moment your heartbreak -a balm- on the wounds wrought by you, the burns of your malice swollen, all these years, softening with the knowing of your heartbreak
"I stood in the doorway half into the room waiting there for something more than what I've known before She said that the girl you came to see is now the girl I used to be She doesn't live here any more so won't you close the door"
Strangers...definitely and your fingers play my rhythm still
blooming two plants completely separate origins 10 blossoms capture the eastern warmth one plant a directed gift symbolic of death the other a random discount store deal they are nurtured with my sorrow and love and give back to me life and time stolen
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
a barely detectable blush bleeds slowly permeating through my pores inflamed by powerful memory imagery smolders turning my mind doesn't quench the burning heat you no longer engulf me yet I am branded for eternity
A luminous glow from screens fire candle light allows the masquerade to continue well past midnight every night complacent the red chair you over there tongue(mine)silent belies the storm raging inside
so easy to forget for those who do not feel deeply for those who cannot extract empathy for those who are so self absorbed for those stuck in infancy for those wielding all the sharp objects for those delivering every stab so easy to remember with the constant reminders open wounds bandages scars and that shiny blade sliding in and out
I will press on and try to view the world as a safe place through the eyes of my beautiful and amazing children.
yea, it's alright if you leave tonight after we tumble through our own time I'll shake your bones and you'll melt mine I'd rather be alone anyway and I'd much prefer your nothing to say my quiet soothes your storms your fire triggers my alarms don't worry 'bout it s'all good no sweat definitely better for me if you don't cast your net
there is a common cliche about crocodile tears a way to bend the truth but beware the perfidious manipulation of those fake insipid masks the ***** of the world they cry to **** and to steal
Unpaid debt grows An unmanageable monster A tumor of sorts Pockets turned inside-out Only ever empty Barren and brazen You, always hungry for more Me, starving for your cause
Wanting Wanton Watching Waiting
Too many a thieves in the night
Stealing Stalking Skulking Snatching
I'm paid in full *Too bad I lost my *** on a scam (or two)
as I returned from the grocery store tonight I thought I saw you that impossible to miss enormous *** treading downhill with a man's haircut happily or not I was mistaken
I love the idea of certain people left out in the cold.....where they belong. I'm sure it has come to feel like home.
Lid secured Every edge and surface pierced with the iron spikes of varying gauges-
car bed home town old towns forest lake host every bar and grill (within a 300 mile radius) work tents and air beds split rock otter tails snow trails Tobie's town mini apples silver ware white gold Möbius strip wedding presence and presents that long stretch of highway you still travel everyday brothers friends (perhaps) music words in verse from your fingers and spoken (broken) Time lost to your treasures that revealed themselves to be trash
-now rusting in place cradling the remains of what never should have been
You came to me an empty shell. Or so you said. Your mask, your fake, your facade insidious with disregard. Take me take me take my broken spirit.....such an easy target....Kitchen Radio providing the soundtrack for the beginning of the end. The end of chances to be the center of someone's universe. Mr. Kirby and Ralph can attest: I was just a target....a country to be conquered. No war torn ruins for you to lord over. The only kingdom you rule is regret. Shine on with your patina of tarnished deeds. Let your isolation feed your lonliness..... so desperately sad that no heart is safe from your wrath. Blow upon blow-your words and silence each a fist for your fix. Your love a poison without cure......like Midas with no use for gold.
The irony is not lost on me. No wonder there are so many soul-less selfish sadistic evil ****** up liars in this world... Look at the media we worship. Movies about horrible bosses abuse ****** corruption. Songs about killing destroying leaving and being left. Reality TV trading spouses prison life keeping up with the Joneses. Pain and suffering are worshipped by your neighbor coworker friend husband wife lover. There is no safety net. No one is immune to the Dis-ease.
Rise above. I have found an anti-venom and will outlast them all. I soak it up like a sponge all day every day and wring myself out as I leave and bring only my integrity home with me.
my bones ache supported by the pillows of dust and air lids flutter open and close memories play like kittens occasionally the fun turns ugly lines crossed mentally I shake it off
Coming and going as the weavers work their magic Forth and back words hollow promises empty through the ages and stages My era began and ended bloated with disasters of the less than forgettable kind I am defined by the stillness inside I came from and put forth love The unmentionables try to devour me I continue until.....
