Lying eyes
disguise goodbyes;
the Honest ones will tell you.

I keep ignoring
all of my friends calls
and text messages.


          and
     I                     just
  
                                      wish I knew why.

in a dream that i can't shake
she was standing by a fence post, shaking
all alone with tears in her eyes
with the dawn on her breast and lips
and the stains from my kisses there too

then i turned to the east
and look myself in the face
i am the sun and i am tired
i haven't slept in days
because there are
better things to do
in bed
when i'm with
her.

Sometimes I feel as if
cigarette butts are
bread crumbs
for grown ups.
I've been spurting out short little, silly little, unsatisfying little poems lately.
Hopefully I'll get over it and write something someone can sink their teeth into.

You scared?
No...
Liar
I know...

But dreams can't last forever
As I thought once upon a time
When your heart held mine

Tears fell only to be wiped away
By your hand
Now gone

As I, breath in the lonely darkness
Of the room that was
At one point ours
But now mine alone

And you
Of course have gone
As only dreams do

Leaving me
Eye to eye
With my fear

Of life
Without you

There's this thing that I think
that I thought I once knew;
but the thing is I think
that I ain't thunk it through.

~

Perhaps this is old,
perhaps this is new,
this odd little thought
I thought I once knew.

~

So I sits and I scritch
and I says to myself,
"Sort your wits slowly,
like plates on a shelf."

~

Maybe it's big,
perhaps it is small,
this odd little thought
that I cannot recall.
w.i.p. - There's so much more I want to do to this.

When your days are sad and blue
Count on me to be here for you
And when you feel you've got nothing left
Breathe a sigh & take a breath

The learned Dons of Oxford
Have invented and refined
An efficacious compound;
Love Potion number nine.

A heady mix of pheromones
and vitamins and such.
Just give it to your blasé mate
And she’ll hunger for your touch.

Oxytocin warms her heart
and bonds her to your side.
Testosterone’s included
So she’s randy as a bride.

A simple pill upon her tongue
And passion is restored.
A boon for long time couples
Rather lacking in Amor.

Just be sure to stay at home
when she ingests the pill.
If you don’t make yourself available
The mailman can and will.
Scientists at Oxford University are trying to perfect a pill that stimulates the emotions of love and lust.

Apparently the Flowers and chocolate weren't working for them.
