In dreams we meet
per chance
pausing briefly-
with that boyish grin
whispering
your voice deep
sensual
"you're still beautiful"...
A pain
proliferating from the void
bereft of joy
longing to scream
in shock and horror..
You are still short
       balding
           larger around the middle
yet those hateful words of choke...
unable to return the pain you gave.
A heart that surrenders
         Only to melt in the pools
                of your deep hazel eyes...
"It is good to see you too.."
Then you fade into the crowd.
       and out of my dreams.
He who fishes
In his neighbors well
Only catches *****.
Smoldering in the dark
Decaying crevices in my heart
A once proudly raging spark
Threatens to disembark

What once was warm is cold
Even my bones feel old
Peaceful memories wilt and mold
Sanity will soon unfold

No way to reignite
This fire in my life
No tranquility awaits me
When I turn out the lights.
**** in one hand
Hope in the other
See which one
Fills up quicker
She said don't trust me
And if this must be..
Keep hope a little rusty

Because she's fussy
Been treated roughly
Her hearts a little dusty

But it's worth trying
And she wasn't lying
Now I feel like dying
I will never forget

The way you walked
The way you talked
The peace to my life
You brought

The love you brewed
And even though were through
I will never forget
You.
When life gives you lemons..
Make lemonade..
When life gives you ****..
Fertilize your garden.
