Life is a quilt

This life of yours is made up of many, many pieces

Some bigger than others

Some bits will be torn
Others will be neatly shaped

All different colors for certain

All coming to form one giant cacophony of who you are

Always remember...

Your life is the whole quilt, not small part of it

See the beauty of your fine work

I wish I had a thousand lifetimes to love you

It would take precisely one thousand lifetimes...

Calculations have been made....

I would argue and banter with you
I'd  make love to you and stare deep into your eyes afterward
I'd build a chicken coup with you

I'd get mad at you for misplacing the keys, only to apologize right afterwards
I'd stop you in the middle of the street only to kiss you on the forehead
I'd tell you your favorite story when you went to bed
I'd grow old with you
So sweetly I'd worship every single moment

She has a gaze that feels like a gentle mist
Drizzles on my face & lips

Her touch is gentle

Her heart is a jigsaw puzzle piece
that fits right in my chest

Only on the fretboard
am I comforted anymore

the fretboard is my best friend & companion
the fretboard is my voluptuous lover
the fretboard is my interpreter, confidant & knowledgeable guide
i am lost without it

My crooked path winds on and on
you know where you can find me

Out of the fiery ashes

The owl rises again...

And again....and again.....and again.....

Have you ever wondered
Just what exactly is
the point
of
living?

Im sure
that im
not the first
TROUBLED PERSON TO THINK OF THIS

Gory poetry
once dripped
From every crevice

now

all has ceased.....

So long to you
I'd wanted these words
to be more poignant
More youthful
More alluring

They're not

here is all I am:
gentle
melancholic
soulful down to the ******* core

No
I don't feel like
continuing

This repetitive
cycle of
heartache
Goodbye & good riddance 2013
******* very, very much

Shrewd
And
Majestic
And
Proud
And
Onry
And
Willing
And
Gargantuan as ****

Ochito retreats from NO SETBACK
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Death takes a step back
to reconsider giving him more time

Be a jewel of a man
Always glistening with joy & good will
The kind of fellow that people are proud to know
Be a shining one
