I watched the sun quietly collapse
and heard it plea through gasping breaths
for a few final seconds to repent.

What a thing of beauty.

I put your picture in a drawer
To hide from those invasive brown eyes
but from inside the drawer those brown eyes roar
and from inside me something cries:

*Say Farewell

Right now
is a funny thing
isn't it?
Right now
is so malleable
and ever-changing.
It is measured
carefully
in the hours we say
I'm having such a great time right now
and in those single
life-changing seconds
when right now
feels like an eternity.
Because it is.
Right now
I believe that this poem is
for me
because
Right now
I have no idea
what's going on.
Right now
I can't believe
I had the audacity
to think that I
had any impact
on what the future holds
for me.

So
Right now
I'll settle for ideas
of what I want my life to be
and maybe
start thinking about
how my life should be
Right now.

You are
a colorful creation
keen to careful condensation
in your crystal-ball eyes

Crying
at fairy tale lies
Growing to despise
happy endings
and princes in disguise

Wipe your eyes
Don't cry

You are
the stoic cattails
that reside along the bank

and the cursive
ink stains
on pages once blank

You are
poetry
personified.

My heart like an abandoned house
still reeks of home
And is furnished with dusty memories of you
with faded squares on crimson wallpaper
where blurry photographs of you once hung
The red paint has dried and peeled away
and has revealed my house's rotting walls,
to be exposed and poisoned by the sun.
And while your words like termites feast on broken love and asbestos,
The foundation quivers and quakes under the weight of the darkness
and shivers and shakes at the rabid creatures that lurk beneath.

I've dreamed of a place
full of foolishness and
empty swimming pools
And that does not interrupt
the flow of the flowers
or the show of the showers
This is a place some call home.
It's a love dream.
It's full of mindless doodles
of a teenage wannabe:
hearts and arrows
crows, and sparrows.
It's where the stars go
to be alone
and to repent
for their envy.
It's where the forgotten eyes
of forgotten lives
fall when there's no where else to go.
Some call it home.
It's the resting place of replenishing rain
and the final stop of the midnight train
It's the way the trees sway
and whisper "Daddy, let's play"
and the place the sun hides
at the end of the day.
yes, this is the way
we say
goodbye.

Submissive shadows of the night flee like frightened children
As the sun rears it's incandescent face to kiss that of the earth's.
A quiet dew rests contently in it's grassy green crib
And it does not stir.
The birds have since congregated
To wake the earth with their sweet songs of worship
Poo-tee-weet!
So the sun and the earth meet and make love
as passionately and as curiously as when time began
oblivious to the ever-envious stars
that they chase away.
Good Morning.
It's broken, so they say.
