I turned away for what seemed a brief bit of time,
Life got in the way, work, family, other joys.
When I returned to my sweet friends on HP
nothing much looked the same, unfamiliar,
even strange.

Then there are all those unknown names,
Talented folks among them for sure,
but too many to count and begin to know.
Lonely alienation disconnect,
Like transferring to a new school in your, Senior year.

Change they say is a good thing,
even inevitable, most of the time,
But, where is that old loved gang of mine?

I wake you up
Out of your slumber
I hear the 8 become 9
I've always said that 24 hours
Is too short, and for us
It makes your company more of a necessity
Because there is no tomorrow
If I haven't had you yet, my drug, my fix
Babe, you don't know what it's like
To lay in bed and imagine your skin
Sending shivers up mine
We suffer on the weekdays
Then the weekend is here and I'm yours
You're my favorite
I don't want to hear it ever again
I'm not gonna give up on a boy
That is the light in my life
I'll run to you in the blink of an eye
That is the power of the love
That I have for you
She was poetry written in the perfect cursive curves of the devils smile
and an angels hip
the lost launguage found only in Aphrodites blood
the beauty of tragedy
and the birth of romance
were only mere ink stains on her fingertips
the syllables of tears that filled the ocean
and drowned every wave of heartache  
the stars and the stories of the moon
told in a voice between whisper and dream
and to read her was
to feel her breath along your neck
and her teeth bite
through both bone and soul
her every word to grip
and stroke the fires of your flesh
and before the last line of the page
to spill the life from between your legs
and have it crash through the ceiling
and explode and scatter
against the black velvet night
of her passion and desires
and turn you into a page
and a poem
within the depths
of the heart of her soul

clouds casting shadows
on you and the one you love
a reason to smile

reading a good book
becoming the character
a reason to smile

sitting in silence
letting everything be still
a reason to smile

through words,
I heal my wounds
by completely exposing them
