Writing is the voice
Silence has become a choice
Work behind the scenes
Avoiding the mainstream
Chewed up spit out
Want to make it need a new way out
Told to do this
Be that doesn't matter
Not where things need to be
Don't quit never let up
Keep doing it all the haters will fade out
Believe in love those who have it appreciate it
Part of the dream all the wrongs a right
Now a days wrong is right
Doesnt make sense don't agree but respect it
The chances ruined try to steal your moment
Take what's your eventually all the bad tunes out
Happiness fades out the wrong
In the darkness where it belongs
Today
I lovingly viewed
a perfect work
of modern
heart
It took every ounce of self control
not
to kiss you...

not to take you in my arms

inhaling deep
the very scent of floral meadows
from your hair

not to hold your hands
with fingers trembling

nor to speak the words openly...

that I have
so often penned
in secret pained poetic silence

but for one moment of weakness
I could have made known
my heart...

my feelings

but no

nor would I
risk all we are ... all we have

for one moment
of
madness.
Just a tired rambling mind trying to make sense of love maybe I need sleep lol
Never marry a milkmaid

as she will

milk

You dry

Pebble after pebble,
my lungs fill.

The words "i'm sorry" have no meaning.

All I see is the black tangled mess that covers your head.
And the room is filled with echoes of once cherished memories.

Every second,
another drops.
Each drop takes away the meaning of the words spoken,
giving everything a bitter taste.
Nothing can come out of that word making hole on your face.
That weapon.
That promise.
That opening that tells others what you want, what you need, what you feel,
what this all means.
Or how sorry I am.
No words can fix this.

Every time I say it another pebble drops.
Eventually everything is meaningless,
And I can no longer breathe.
My mother always worried
that Grandpa's genes were in me
he was manic-depressive
I was a bit different
so all my mother could see
was a mirror reflection of her dad.
I went through spurts of depression
followed by perfectly cheerful months.
Even right now she is fearful
my move and flight were manic decisions.
I am determined to show her
this time the bright eyes
won't

Poetry invents jocular joy
Limpid loquaciousness rejoice
Heuristic verbiage to deploy
Poetry invents jocular joy
Dancing with Shakespeare and Tolstoy
Mellifluous melodic voice
Poetry invents jocular joy
Limpid loquaciousness rejoice
My first Triolet. Thanks Rebecca Askew for showing this form to me and for doing it so well.
Your eyes alone now scan the screen
as mine on you now go unseen
I see their laughter share their pain
as on your lap I'm softly lain
my heart soft flutters as they do
as you watch on and I watch you
I see their tears and see their joy
see them mad and play'fly coy
no words are spoke not touch is felt
as I my love within them melt
commercial break you now look down
and autumn breaks beneath your frown
you stroke my hair and touch my cheek
and smile so soft it leaves me weak
my lips won't move my tongue is numb
is loving you this way so dumb
no need for intimacy beyond what's shared
when your fav'rite shows are being aired
So watch them all and I'll watch you
cause there's nothing else I'd rather do
