Drab

The Death of a human noid.

He was not smiling.
After, all the mile-ing.
The end of time.
Is all that mattered.
She lied shattered.
Before his feet.
And then stepped away

so. after re-reading what i wrote (say that real fast). This poem, takes on way more meanings than first intended. I guess that's good?

You choose the path but lose your map
Forget to do the math, subtracting everything from you
Becomes your aftermath
You bathe in a bath filled with wrath
Brazing, burning desires all soaked into in your calves
Leaves your skin scorned from drying off with sandpaper
Bouts of depression, anxiety you fight everyday
Just to get up out of bed, feels like a tomb being lifted away
Mind, is tormented, wires disconnect
Finding who you are in a world of rejection

#sad#depression#anxiety
Take care of you!

A FUNCTION OF MY DEVICE

A FUNCTION OF MY DEVICE
As I read her piece of mind
I am mush upon her page
Lost within her lines of grief
Trapped within her rage

Still I read on
Her ink again spills red
In silence of lucidity
In a maze of heart felt dread

Yet time removes mind
With the darkening of day
Screens eventually time out
And attentions fade

The heart string
Is carefully enticed
With the realization
She's merely a function of my device

BEHIND A SMILE

Dread is alive
Roaming the earth

Feeds on low vibes
Oppression gives birth

Without a warning
Beyond a clue

Dread is a cold night
Waiting for you...

Run and play now
Poetic child

But beware the dread
Behind a smile..

TT

Once again just being creative.

Eye contact

All of my life I have had a problem with keeping eye contact.

They say eyes are the mirror of the soul.

The only times I don't have a problem is when I am enraged with someone.

It was so bad when I was a child that I could not even watch the news on TV, as I thought the newsreader was looking at me.

Deep shame was the cause.

Thanks Dad.

Not sure

Thanks for reading
Thanks for comments
Taking a short break
Need to reevaluate where my writing is going
When a bookstore puts your books on their websites but not in their brick and mortar stores
Am I not good enough?
Maybe I really can’t write?
Not looking to lick my wounds or for you to cheer me on
Your comments are appreciated more than I can say
I may very well be back but for now you all write on
Write on?

Dodoitsu Tulips at Dusk

Blade cuts through the dusk,
Tulips bow with fleeting grace,
Shadows stretch to meet the night—
Silent petals fall.

betterdays

Finis

Night, blurred lines waver
Tired eyes read denouement
Now sweet sleep beckons.

This day different to the last
by the state of the weather
The length of the journey
The words both spoken and
left unshed.

This day constant in the heart
by the warmth of the glances
The need of the touches and
The words unspoken, whispered
and openly stated

Now we are at days end
and night throws it's cape wide
We settle the plotline and savour
the page...
Finis this chapter,
Tommorow a new page

The Ending of "The Graduate"

I sort of.....
Avoid it

Because it gets me
Every time,
A piece of Celluloid
So
Sublime

Sat in the back
Of The
Car,
Forgetting
They're just
Film
Stars

If
Cinema holds
Any
Magic,
It's in
This five minutes,
Unseen?
That's
Tragic

Song
Simon and garfunkel
The sound of silence

solace and sorrow

Untitled

Three years of love, now cast away,
A fleeting dream that couldn’t stay
To me, those moments felt sublime,
Yet you see them as a wasted time.
