quiet restlessness
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

this is what it looks like



barren

blank

in absentia
298 · Feb 2017
suppressed by a memory
forever in the shadow
of your hot breath
licking at my throat
drawing out the inconsistencies
between us and them
when it is only myself

Salvation
Really
the only
visceral force
propelling him
thru time
is the
life threatening
hunger
to
inhabit
the place
inside
of her
where his soul was safe

Memorium
I have to
     forget to remember
You

and

Remember
      to forget
the rest
Miss you forever ...happy birthday Dad
294 · Jun 2014
Saw you('re)
I knew you before I ever laid eyes on you.
You were inside me since I was born.
You were in my heart since before you were born.
I remember how consumed I was wanting you
Before I received the gift of you.
Happy birthday my beautiful boy!

The magic of 44
middle
ages
or maybe less
half gone
under duress
I take back
only what's stolen from me
Love
Time
Identity
eternity will never claim my truth, life, integrity

Incomplete
I tried to forget

                  You

When we talk
          
         Complete

Star crossed

You .......Romeo

      To my Juliet

Can't be

Won't work

Miss you

            Empty

Without you

the years since our introduction
Takes
     My
           Breath
                Away
I know
I know

                   occasionally

I need a reminder

           You too?
Your
Precious
Stolen
Moments
Spent
Elsewhere
Now
With
Empty
Pockets
Hungry
Destined
To
Starve

Thought for the day....
Your presence makes me sad
absence....fonder
First thought "I wonder...?"
almost pulls me under
Tidal
Crash
Breathless

.......heartless
things that make you go "hmmmm..."
279 · Jun 2013
Mirror, mirror....
I've lost my looking glass
The last connection I had to me
Now the lonliness digs in deep
That I kept at bay
Can't help but wonder ....
Could I have done something
Differently
So I could still be me?
Many have brought their ugliness into my life making every image I see distorted and sometimes heinous. This mirror reflected only the beautiful things. I will miss it...

"They were all just meat"
There's not one thing you've done

           with me
           for me
           to me

during our relationship

that you haven't done

           with, for, to
           someone else
           many others

during our relationship
So I guess your words are supposed to make me feel special.....hmmm....

the last word
have
you
ever
met
an
expert
at
making
others
feel
like
****
?
I've
come
across
a
few
.
just
when
you
think
you
see
a
glimmer
of
humanity
you
regain
perspective
a­s
they
open
their
mouths

L’amour est dangereux
Again
     (or more likely, still)

GOTCHA

Seems silly to be surprised
               (She’s missing you.....)

Defend and protect


It’s what you do best.

I hope to hold your hand there

thank you for the end
no reason to yearn
for the past
gone

hoping for better
in the time yet to come

Live strong
Live fast
Live hard

and let go
is there ever "the end"

He found his bliss
His passion floats
on his breathless sigh
"You **** beast.....I can't ever get enough of
you ...."
As his hands try to enter me through my pores
and he wraps himself in my flesh
and he throbs with release
"You take me places I've never been...I finally feel alive" he can barely speak through his gasps of infinite pleasure.
He wants so badly to capture my gaze.....to feel what he never felt with any of them.
He utters in his post glow
"I ache for you every second of every day."
too bad he didn't realize sooner...so much regret for all the time he wasted.

Quasar
I feel
electrified and alive
when
I inhale
the same air as
you
Your breath
drifts and twines
through the room
searching
finding me
out
and then
you permeate
my pores
effortlessly

I spend enough of my time dodging my
husband’s girlfriends
I don’t want to put on a show
and play nice
with my boyfriend’s new wife

Dead to you
You dug through the trash
Searching for something in
The refuse
Now all you want is me
And you will never
Get it

I never lived in the dump you frequent

It's so obvious
Tis the demons
who want to die

I'm so very fortunate

Dilemma
I want you in the worst way and I don’t want to betray her

As much as I want to pounce on your vulnerability and wrap my legs around you I must caution you that those two things are mutually exclusive

Side Chick (8/7/21)
Perennial safety net
the roots grow shallow
for you

I am pierced in place

     Salvation for one
     Release the next
     Indulgence follows
Lust fire lies falling lashes
     Forever entangled
                  and
                    estranged.

my beloved Benjamin
You went from my little boy with hugs and laughter and curiosity to a stranger in what felt like overnight.

Every second of my life
Gone in a flash
Lost

lost

mirrored shades
I always told you I wore them
because of my eye surgeries
the light hurts my eyes
I said
truth is
I didn’t want you to see
the sadness
I still don’t

here
home

     heart

          hearth

               head
You make me feel like nothing
and I can’t believe
the sucker punch of those
words
How did I not see this ?

Your problem is that
196 · May 2014
for real
you always have

      thought only

about

       yourself
So true.....
Who knew

my

paradise

is

“Trailer Trash”?
One of those moments

North star
You’ll never be my beacon

just a misdirected map
in the night sky

the light house
that draws me
is
fixed firmly in the east

my sun rise
is never
my sun set
The days go trickling past
as the day goes trickling past

When I finally find myself on the other side of the door.....

Facing the precipice

Toes curled in anticipation
....suspense

or terror

To meet your gaze
awkwardness abounds

Feels like home

Both welcoming and bittersweet after all this time

nothing but
time
separating us

Except in this moment
You’re so
happy
to see him
happy
even
if
it’s with
someone else

truly
madly
deeply
This heart belongs to me
I
am
the
only
one
who
can
protect
it
