the spirit
that
moves me
is
what
i
truly believe
what
maketh a song
brings me back home
The morning alarm has rung
     But getting up is getting old
The sun is shining outside
     But my coffee cup is cold

What comes to mind is a whip
     To chase me outa bed
Either I get up and get going
     Or lie around like lead

And yet time slowly creeps by
    And I'm still cuddled in this cocoon
Waiting wondering anticipating
     For someone to pop this inertia baloon
I have grown thin,
      I have grown old,
         and
                   I have grown out of love.
It feels,
most if the time,
as if I
will apologize
forever
for what goes
through
my mind,
or just
for being who
I am...

... Whoever that is.
trained
to be homesick
the animals
disappeared.  dad advised

we get out
the way
of frost, let it get

to what it’s got
to chew.

we stayed inside mostly and hollered
loud enough
for mailmen
to hear

nicknames
like little
baby
bathwater
my favorite

from the year
god’s voice
changed.
Thy wakened dream fleets into nostalgia
It beckons one taste for love and sorrow
Then It bathes in distance and doubt
My dream my love, is not in love
With the dream I fell asleep to.

She

Is

/////

Walking all alone .....

A lovely girl


••


Ain't no men no more

Anywhere

//

And she is

The        Only girl



All the rest ?

They have given in

To death





Look at you out there !

Wallowing in tales

Of what your ******* and ***** are doing !!!

Of how you've been hurt

But you never learn a thing

Cept how to hurt somebody else !!!!!

She

Lovely girl

We

Shall spend out lives together

Obviously

Because there is nobody else

he was the storm
he was my fire
he was the wave
of pain.

he was my calm
the deafening quiet
stripped of my bones
i hang.
i can be strong
i will outrun him
i will win
his game.
Sometimes i don't want to be tethered to yesterday
It's nicer to forget
But having eyes wide to the future
Requires retrospective respect

To reach the top of maslow's pyramid
You have to knock down the walls
Reshuffle all the cards
And see where they might fall

Your peccadillo was just a trigger
To the burst of autumn red
I've awoken from my torper
And turned reality on its head.
