Suddenly everything made sense
and all my tragedies became one
They were woven together
like a sad, sad country song:
"I've been alone forever and all along."
"Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you?" - The Gaslight Anthem

Emerald
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Give me dreams that will make me crawl
ones that hold all of  the night
one filled with delighten fright
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Give me your thoughts
Big or small
I want to dwell in dusted drawers
The ones that have been opened once, now no more
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Give me my lover whom stood by me so tall
Help me collect our ashes that flew
let us leave our rotten memories for the fresh morning dew
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Tell us your ways not to fall
Whisper the grooves on paths we must bend
Will our minds find galaxies we can comprehend?
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Can evil be a portrait for anyones hall
do we learn darkness by loosing the light
Or does it come from the lonesomes bitter fight?
Dreamer dreamer on the wall
Oh my dreamer are you there at all?

I fought you, long ago
you had me
like gravity moving sideways  
but let my flailing,
deluded body free, to go roaming
in the fields of my upright youth  
I emerged from your feverish flow
believing I was victorious
(that and other necessary lies)
when,
in truth,
(if there be such a creature)
you released me  
to steal and heal
and slay another day  
now sixty plus one, or two
I see you  
in my rear view  
brown huddled masses
skulking across you
to reach hopeful higher ground  
you tug on their feet, weakly  
making a mockery of
your name  
our history
and the day
we played tug of war
for my future
those who cross you
now fight other rivers
fear, hunger, and yearning
I
far from your banks
walk slower and remember
your once mighty power
I failed to defeat  
and the treaty we signed
for my simple life
inspired by my recollection of swimming across this mighty river when I was 18--now, after years of drought, this river that forms the border between Texas and Mexico is but a trickle of what it once was

I love when we argue over the
Silly things.
Like
Tickling and
Who is going to be the
Big spoon or the
Little spoon.

I'm always the big spoon and
You tickle so
Sweetly.

I hope this lasts forever.

each character
you have ever written
should mean something
irretractable
and purposeful

so if i could burn
each scrap and sheet
that held letters i never cared to write
fuel the fire with each pencil i've ever sharpened to the nub
and left myself only with the words i crafted
with care and precision

i would be at peace.

and if you
have others
you should
be around
them I
guess.

is what I told
him, and my
room seemed
suddenly very
small and I
was aware
that none
of my books
could talk to
me the way
a soft voice
could.

LOVE

Because I have chosen love
Why?  I don’t know.
I open my eyes and saw the world
And decided to love.
Nothing was pain,
Nor hurt or cry,
Love gave me sweetness of being,
I plunged in it, and felt warm cuddle,
So, said , never leave it from me!

Looked at the faces laughing at me,
With harmful ironic smiles:
“You stupid,
You empty head,
You don’t get anything!”

Moments and years came by,
Love in my heart still there,
Pain damaged my body and loneliness,
But I have it all I need!
I have lots of love in my heart,
It is so full,  that it leaks…
It gives love everywhere,
And I have everything!
