I wish I could say that I'm overjoyed that you talked to me again, but I know that we can't ever talk again. There's no way that this will ever leave us in one piece. I'm just gonna end up hurting you again. I can't take that chance. It's better this way, I promise. You're better off with me not in your life. So please take care of yourself. I wish you all the best.

The bridge is still bouncy
The water calm and clear
Horses’ hoofprints churned the grass
Bright yellow star-shaped Cellandine
Bluebells and wood sorrel
Shoals of fish
Delighting people

Sometimes I smell your hair
and pretend to lay my
chest against you

like on those nights after
building  a pine  fence
around the yard

of  a Baptist preacher’s
house in Georgia
forty miles

from cold beer and café pie,
and then I remember that
was 20 years ago

before you and me
drove different
highways.
She lay in bed for hours
tossing like a small
boat in big
water

I sat in the old recliner
watching as a jay
might its sick
fledgling
rain is addicted to gravity
pain is addicted to chemistry
love is addicted to empathy
safe is addicted to security
it's all good

dreams are addicted to imagining
age is addicted to hurrying
empty's addicted to nothing
everyone's addicted to something
and it's all good

we all seek comfort and that's just fine
a bit of yours for a bit of mine.
take what you need but don't be greedy, everyone is just as needy.

Life

A life we live that chose us
People that breaks in with none to give
A heart that beats and stops thus
Control is a myth to make life barable to live

Try to say what you think
And make it ryme with what you feel
From the depth of what seems thik
To all the hearts that only sees what's seen

A tag of war and reciprocal sways
My heart and head floating questions stains
Innocent, will it be the clouds that rains
Or hell ,will it be the future days

A soul is the only item to bribe time
Death is the solonel freind of fate
Life is a fortune worth only a dime
And the only beaable with a final date
Everything I feel comes
to me all at once
or not at all.
