The cloud covered sky
obscures the alluring
white light glow.

The cool moist air
gently moves
the pre-winter tree leaves
that have already
lost their blooms.

The autumnal red
bush wears
berry colored leaves.

The nighttime’s
seasonal identity
flows freely
on time’s
sharply shaped arrow
that always
flees from me.

Frequently,
I race across the words
reading too rapidly,
missing the depths
of descriptive sounds,
and failing to engage
the full immersive array
of language the writer displays
because I wish to portray
the fiction of a deep person
who reads intelligently.

and there you are
walking into another lost dream
your whispers and gentle smile
touching the memories  
I hold dear

like the dream
our time was brief
you turn and walk away as you did
40 years ago
you wanted more from me
another day
another week
and perhaps I would have realized
that I truly loved you
but we know how cruel time can be
and I let you go

I awaken to your image
fading quickly
and I decide to find you
maybe to ask forgiveness
maybe to beg

but I am too late
and you have left me
only to be found
in my dreams
in my sorrow
We make decisions in our lives that may seem of little importance at the time, only to realize the immensity later. like the song...I let her go... I looked for her again recently, only to find she had passed away in 2009. A punch to the soul that I will never fully recover.

I'm wilting.

I gave you each of my petals but now you've decided to take another rose.

I'm fading.

Because I gave you each of my petals and you don't even care.

How could you do this to me?

I love chaotic
Things
Each bit of me
Messier
More unmanageable
Than the rest

All I want to do is sow harmony,
But try and bring harm on me,
Or my friends and family,
And ill give you what you seek,
Just because I'm kind don't mean im weak,
Leave you in pieces like a puzzle,
This is a warning so you're not puzzled,
Big dog indeed tread carefully or get muzzled,
I strive to live in the light,
But my dark side won't retreat from a fight,  
Come and conquer me napoleon bonoparte,
Be left in the street more like napoleon dynamite,
Left for dead and torn apart,
Praying to depart,
So check yourself before you wreck yourself,
Come at me bro or get smart.
Perfect dark.

You've been warned.
Self defense in a scenario that requires you to unleash the monster within against someone who wants to ruin your world t

What can I say?
Can’t control myself today.
Or any other day,
That is
What can I say?
I have no control
Within my bones
That are filled with holes
What can I say?
I tremble at everything
I can’t even bring
Myself to smile
What can I say?
Oh, what can I actually say?
