the challenge is to be surefooted
steps soft and light weaving
through the house as it resists
my every move
to stop and kiss innocent cheeks
make sure the bodies are still warm
prepare the same rituals
of hot coffee and cold juice
while the dogs wait patiently
for fresh air, water
they exist only for my care
and hurried touch
this day like any other
you are here as well
asleep in the back room
i know this as certain as i know
the path i need to take
towards my favorite chair
also waiting for me
to take pen to paper
in the near light
in the almost day
the challenge is to create a life story
strangers want to read

pretty fascinating mind
appearing light,
flecking dangerously close.
swallow
let go

But keep one pinky on the edge.
Walk the line easily
between fascinating
and ******* with words.

fighting whats left inside me
i am or am i
laughing,
throwing my voice,
cracking the night,
And another bite mark
finds

A scar
A humble star
A version here
A ******* there

the quiet hits,
as it will,
defeat in my bones,
Quickly it does distill.
Looking around the room
momentarily left insane,
fringed, frightened,
buried cold

long dark rings
tucked in the eyes
black circles where you've hid
those years
behind.
Defined in every happy ending
to an ever-ending ride
In my pretty fascinating mind.
My favorite poet life's jump wrote this with me.

You
Just like the way the rain meets the floor,
you are the one
I'm falling for.

The man in the van
Started hatching his plan
Down the street at a quarter to four
With his clipboard and tie
and his best lizard smile
He purposefully knocked on my door.
"Do you have a license?"
his voice broke the silence
I stood there and claimed common law
I told him his kind on my land were not welcome
asked him to step away from my door.
He said "could I step inside for a second to see if you have a TV.
I told him get lost as he told me the cost
of getting television for free.
I stood there and mocked
he was really quite shocked
by my laughter and absence of fear
at a thousand pound fine, maybe even some time
at her majestys service for me.
I then, quite politely closed the door behind me
as I marched him tout suite down my path
straight back to his van, this strange little man
while the neighbours all watched with a laugh.
"You're breaking the law"
He told me once more
as I put the poor ****** inside
I closed the door tightly
and then so politely
Waved *******, as home I did stride.

I don't love you any more

Nor do I love you any less
With you I feel I have reached the peak
Of pure happiness

That's why I really can't stand you

Being all by yourself
Need you to be here with me
And nobody else

Because I hate you

Being away from me
If this is all a test of time
I've failed it miserably

It's all over

Written on my face
The love I have for you my dear
Could never be replaced

So yes I don't love you any more*

Nor do I love you any less
Because without you to keep me grounded
*We both know my life would be a mess

I stay awake and I pray
For the mess I became
Urging gods to erase
The mistakes that I’ve made
Craving poisons everyday
To forget all my pains


I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

In silence I lay
These tears I’m fearing
So I pray to forget
The regrets that I’m feeling
The poison I crave it keeps on creeping
So I cave and I pray
Yet this pain it remains

I know im fighting
A war against these monsters….
A long lost battle
To the demons in this bottle
One that only I will mourn
In this building hollow
Where my sorrows follow

I wish we always stay together...
Path can be difficult and narrow but I wish we cross it together...
Holding hands, I wish we could die together....
Love you and Will love you "forever"...
This is my first poem about love... <3
