There was never a doubt because she let me know
In every unspoken. Term. Every nuanced  flutter.

Deep ****** free fall that I craved and flew across the city
The cities my love
At the end of the week breaking the limit. Navigating the
Madness. Every stoplight was my sworn enemy. Every
Hindrance was anxiety past bearing.

The countdown.
By miles
By minutes.
By block


By street. My fix was ever near . With shaking hands

I climbed the stairs two for one.  
I could see every loving sweep and curve of her neck.
The tilt of her head. The space between her brow. Now.

Just a hearbeat or two.
Just ring the bell. Wait anticipate.
Sharpen the pain.
Hieghten  the pleasure .Oh my love if you only knew.
Though I. Have professed my love in every way and still.
My words just can't say what my heart knows.

Anything that can be done I have done
And will continue to do .You see. I Listen keenly for the every request of
Your heart.


Your body.

Your body language is well spoken
and I listen keenly.
Required to anticipate .
Your hands my love
Your arms my love.


Your sway my love
The pulsing of your heart.

Sends me to
The smooth expanse of you as you recline all over my mind.

Now the moment of truth sharpens my senses as you
Part your lips to speak a melody.
Symphony.
UN
Bearable.

This is my purgatory my love.Sure as night finds day
You will go away and I cannot stay. We were never meant to be.
Poison is what you are to me
With no malice or intent.
Cry and then repent this stolen love.
Never to be
Not to be
Can never be.
So drown me in your love my sweet
Make my useless life complete
And give me all of you now and forever
Stay in my soul.
That is what I. Need to last a lifetime without you.

The little brown diary lay on
Doan's chest its final restingplace.
Operation Indiana. Quong Nai province.

NVA guerrila. ****** smoke and sticky fire.
VC local yokals
Dipping pungi sticks for effect.

Hochi minh trickle trail.tunnel citties
Criscrossing our lines. Bouncing betty saying high
To your pecker.

The pictures in his dairy makes him. Human


Against my will. Hard I just killed their father.
Two grown women now with an open question
Relentless and tough. Cunning and rugged.
The diary looks back at me the blood
Splatter gives it a face that weeps
And sneers
the answer lies
Back there.
Close the circle

Lashed to the side .washed by the rolling tide
I have traversed the oceans wide.somehow. my cursed soul
Cannot find surcease.

Seasons go and decades flow.
Down, down to the depths we go. A watery grave
I stubornly craved ,no such. Cursed beast.

"No whale. No cursed devil."
Release me to darkness.
To hell and gone.

Vengeance is mine saeth the lord
I Ahab spat defiance.
A wooden keepsake strapped to my knee.

A bitter morsel  for mobey **** who bit and spit the cursed zealot
Away to drift.

Now strapped astride.his sworn foe
His soul long dead .sent ahead.
Ahabs sentence


To prowl the depths
To see the unseen.
Fathom for fathom.dark and deep
Never to sleep or feel the touch.


A horrific Dutchman to end of days
To repent for his blackheart vengeance.
Forever cast

Away.

one plus one is two.
Right?.                  Grass is green and sky is blue. Right?

You have to be up before you come down. Right ?
If I love you you have to love me too. Right?  Right?.               Smoking causes cancer
                                                                ­                            Liquor cooks your liver.
                                                          ­                                  Stress Bums your ticker.

The world owes me for this that and the other.
If I have a cute face then You should let me La da da da.
Get real. No ticky, no washy.

Mommy kept you under wraps way past 21
Taped rose colored wrap-arounds real  tight to your head.
Fed you spending account till it all turned red. Reality bites.
No Ticky No washy.


                             You had a nice ride all shinny and pimped.
                              Daddy said "son you have to learn to only
                            Claim what you earned" and now your ego has a limp.
And your cool got burned. Guess what Drama king.
No ticky no washy.

Pulled up  to the Car wash to clean up  your  beater.
A little wax on wax of to be a bit neater.
pulled loose change from the tray just below the heater.
You came up one fifty short and cant pay the
Senorita.
Guess what  Steve Jobs.

N.T.N.W.

The moment before total disaster is  surreal.
Now all I have is the shadow of her love.
It strolls the  back-roads of my desires. It smiles lovingly then vanishes
between my fingers just as warm as before.  No more.

A sad day when she was unable to play the waiting game.
Waiting for just a speck of what she gave in immeasurable
volume. Waiting.



HELLO GIRL IT'S BEEN AWHILE.
Guess you'l be glad to know That Iv'e learned how to laugh and smile.
Getting over you was slow.

They say old lovers can be good friends but
I never thought that Id see you again,
I'd really see you again.

I go crazy, when I look in your eyes
I still go crazy.
No my heart just cant hide,
that old feelin inside

way deep down inside Wo-u baby.
You know when I look in your eyes,
I go crazy.

You say he satisfies your mind.
Tells you all of his dreams. I know

how much that means to you. I
realize that I was blind, but
just when I thought I was over you.
I see your face and it just aint true.

No it just aint true, I go crazy when I look
in your eyes I still go crazy.
That old flame comes alive
it starts  burning inside
way deep down inside.
Ooh baby. You know
when I look in your eyes I go crazy.

Whoe-**. Whoe **-**.
I go crazy. You know when I look in your eyes I
go crazy.No my heart just cant hide.

That old feelin inside,way deep down inside I go crazy.
By Paul Davis.
This song is overheard but never overfelt
I went to sleep with my headset on and woke up in pain with this song playing.
If you have lived long enough, this is every man's song or will be eventually.

Ted Williamse's  head sits frozen
In a cryo chamber in Arizona to be
Thawed and reanimated at a later date.

The splendid splinter.          Set in eternal winter
After all said and done.       Thumper.

                                    THE  INTERVIEW

The­odore, was that a curve or slider ?.

"Can't say for sure sport. I picked up the seams  but it busted in
high and tight

Ted, what exactly was the plan ?

"Couldn't say for sure ace
I'm all in. they froze my head to a
cat food tin"

Ted When do you plan on coming back

"Well, I have no real timetable as such, you
know science moves forward in starts and lurches.
Reanimation and a cure would go real swell.
You know."

Well we all here are praying hard for a cure
You hang on in there. A century or so and your good as new.
By the way Ted ,who signed the papers?
" Couldn't rightly say chum but this meat locker
is sure for the birds"

All right buddy. Thaw
you later.

Well, keep your chin up Teddy and your powder dry
Just think good thoughts and the time will fly.

The Devil's Den in July 1863
Gettysburg Pennsylvania

We. Charged the the gully
and the stand of. Sharpshot stung from hives unseen
Our lives in limbo.  Souls akimbo.
         The bluff.
         The saber
The roar.
Sure as. Night comes day.
Our spirits drift away
and floats above the fray.



Life is cheap here.
The price.
We will pay.

The little round top

Consecrated in guts and bone.
I'm left to die alone on
The bluff. A ragged boyonet
Now drags me away slow.

    So away I must go
    Blow taps and write me a letter home.
    Mother please don't cry for me.
    My brothers here with me
    Send regards.

    The round top hill
    Is very still and peacefull
    Eternal rest is assureed.

    Never again.
