I'd trade
every/good/thing
I've.ever.known.
to share an....afternoon....

Because all/those/moments... I know
were just frag//ments of the

後ろ

you came up behind me,
wrapped your arms around
my neck and covered
my eyes with your hands.

"guess who?" you asked.

and how silly, i thought,
it was to think that i would
not know you by the
feeling of your heartbeat
against my back.

Mind of a poet

Mind of a poet

Bits and pieces
Words and phrases
A title or an end
A rhyme in the middle
A poem a prose a song maybe
Metaphors and sarcasm,
A flow in the tone
Colors, places
A warm thought or faces
A pen a paper
A quiet place to think
These are battles of thoughts
In the mind of a poet

haiku sickle

gull at sunset --
streak of pink
across a sickle moon.

'

gull at sunset --
pink breast between two wings,
white as missing moon.

gull at clear sunset --
silent heartbeat under down,
pink against the rays.

moonless sunset --
a gull's crescent wings
dip toward the skyline.

moonless sunset --
a gull's breast of down burns pink
between two pale wings.

moonless sunset --
crescent wings carry a gull's
pink breast through the blue.

clear autumn sunset --
blue sky, white wings and
a gull's hot pink breast.

clear blue sky at sunset --
a gull's pink breast
between two white, sickle wings.

gull at sunset --
clearly red, white and blue
mean more than freedom.

moonless sunset --
white crescent wings catch the sun,
pink gull held aloft.

Take a chance.

Take a chance.

I'm here with you now
No second thoughts
I've decided

I'm ready to take the plunge
Into those mysterious depths
Not knowing how it will end

Love or loathe
Life or death
Victory or failure?

Depression

Depression

The black veil shrouds my vision
I can't see in front of me, I can't see behind
I walk on, purely out of fear for what will happen if I stop
I walk for what seems like an eternity
I panic, wondering if I'll ever escape this void
I scream, hoping someone will hear
I beg to hear another voice
I plead for relief from this torture
I start to consider stopping
I want this to end
I can't carry on like this
Nobody to help me
Nobody to care
Nobody to lift the veil
No reason to continue.

Perfect for Now

Perfect for Now

I am six inches taller than the average American male
In the summer I tan quite well
And with a few extra minutes in front of an ironing board and a mirror
I clean up nicely

So marry me now while I'm still desirable

I am good at cooking in fact I can make a safe assumption I'm better than you
I enjoy cleaning especially vacuuming
oh and I'm great with kids

Please marry me now while you're young enough for those things to still impress you

I will impress your parents
Your friends will ask how serious we are regularly
I will make you blush from the volume of compliments that you receive from me

So please marry me now while those are still things you want

A collection of poems by me is available on Amazon

You always were afraid of being replaced.
Guess your fears came true.

Constellations: Crux

I want you to be all mine, I want no one else to see you
but I know that your nobility was passed through generations
that you are revered for being small and righteous and beautiful
that you represent the Word, spoken, the source of all creation
and you are not mine- you aren't even in my hemisphere. I know that
you mean more to people thousands of miles away than to me
but it doesn't change that I cling to you as though you were mine
if only you were mine- I just want something, anything,
to belong to me. I'm tired of having things ripped away,
related to, agreed with. *******. I don't belong to you. Don't take this too.
