How can one throw bombs and fire missiles without thinking about innocent children.

The work
isn't easy,
and doesn't satisfy,
but the burn of twilight whisky
sure helps.
And in a dream;
I was just its distant memory
Far from the things I knew,
I had opened my eyes to see'
It wasn't a dream- I was just clueless
To my own reality, and lost in my own mind

.... Oh it was such a splendid daydream

I have no idea what some of the stuff I write is supposed to mean,
I just write it to be honest.
It's not my job to find meaning that I've already marked.
Must be there somewhere,
I mean- I mean, don't I ?
Maybe I mean confusion,
delusion,
or conspiracy.
Elusion,
contusion,
or heresy ?
I could hardly tell.
English is fun
and that's all I know,
I speak to be spoken I guess.
I follow he above don't I ?
James, Luke or Jesus ?
I literally don't know !

Exosphere
two squirrels tumbled titanically down a fence
they caused quite a ruckus
completely graceless and profane
they looked at each other
with a brief, flashing daze
and scampered off
as only lovers
witnessing follies
can do
If I were in a room of all the people I have loved,
My heart would choose you.
But my head would choose another because I fear you no longer want me.

She is a hive full of
Sweetness.
But , never far from
the sting .

β€œI see you β€œ she smiles
as she touches my face .

Upstairs she lies
with coverlets and curtains.

I am searching
and searching.
But , for what
I’m not sure .

Maybe diamonds
but probably
Fireflies and Lace .

Working towards not
losing my shadow.

My inertia’s held
prisoner
to her beauty
my moral vision
called and questioned.
The death of leaves ,
stranded on the high wire
in the back of beyond.
I miss the way she holds me
Tight and
When she kisses me all
Night and she slowly
Takes my hands tonight
And softly whispers I love
You so much in life.
Her Warm Kiss πŸ’‹πŸ˜˜πŸ’‹πŸ˜˜
