She is my helen of troy
I fall to the dirt
To thank the gods

Perseus turns green with envy
Hades scouls heinously
Jupiter & Posiden both conspire meticulously

Yours truly just maintains a grin that extends from ear to ear

So sullen
Sick and starved to take flight
He leaped off the tallest building he could find

As he leaped
He wore wry smile....
And not much of anything else...
..........
PLOP!

what its like to wake up

With all
her heart?

So sudden
Unbridled...she arrived and nestled
next to my shivering arms

Those arms
which were empty for eternities

Now have purpose again...

Dwindling; your minutes
Trickling; your time
Aging; you are always
Sitting idle; is a crime

This gravestone is a wakeup call
To all of those who breathe
Take advantage of your time here
because before you know it, it's by your time to leave....

So sullen
Sick and starved for love
He danced and danced and danced
Until his skinny legs could move no longer...

Move no longer....

He collapsed on the dance floor...
Glistening in glorious sweat...

Gargantuan as a sequoia

So sullen
Sick and starved for genius
He pushed harder than anyone has ever pushed before
Day and night
Night and day

The gods be ******...
No one can stop him...
