So I say
To the king of
A land filled
With refuse
"What a lovely pile"
With a smile and
now deeply bowing
"Your Highness"
Upon a mound
Of broken, tossed away
Treasures
"Yours is the nicest"

The way my eyes and mind seemingly pursuit vastly different avenues at one time is nearly as amazing as the realized notion that I am still hung up on you.  While at work, relaxing and other activities you seem to come into and gather the part of my mind that can see with out eyes, outside of time. There we are and I remember.  But the memory of touch, of kisses, cuddling, love and... Those sensations I can only watch as they happened.  I do not relive or feel them.  Even where you remain mine.  It is not the same.  And I wonder what your kisses felt like when you pressed those perfect lips to mine.  I know I enjoyed it.  I miss it.

The moth in flight, confused
Frantic chasing moonlight.

Rolling grey opaque skies
Devouring perfect blue.

Sulphur dragged friction
Fed fingertips if left to burn

Incredible and misunderstood

A mix of emotions stirred
watercolor water you and I

Simplistically too desperate to get it.

We are... Progress working at times.

Speak if this no more
Spring still shines outside
Invitingly pleasant
Pretend this was nothing
You never saw or wanting
I will not betray our
Song birds call from beyond
Taste of whatever this now
Never was lays lightly upon
Lips that forget so as to never slip
Things that never happened
No more guilt to be hoarded
As consciousness wants this truth
Our secrets consume

A burning match struggles
Against the gust of wind,
It's shifting unpredictable nature.

The water drops, so many
Borne and carried,
As if with purpose from heaven.

A single touch enough
No shelter nor cover
To brake the gusts
Thus saving it's little flame.

Doing only as it does
Knowing no other expression
Signaling as it erupts
Smoke rising, its own end

A purpose done.
Against the impossible.

This exactly fits my view of life
And living.

The day is growing to half over
And I have yet the spark to create,
Trying feels like an out of reach dream
Strength is a distant memory.
