He
Broke my wings
So I couldn’t

Fly

So I stole his soul
So he couldn’t

Die

I'm a social drinker
I drink whenever I'm around people
Or just prior to a social engagement and right on thru it
I put on a cheerful ruse knowing people will buy it
People are always looking to be sold something
So I sell it
I celebrate.
They celebrate.
We celebrate together.
For a moment in time all is well
Rather all seems well
Though
I'm sure they wouldn't like me if I were sober
More importantly you wouldn't like me if I were sober
I don't like me when I'm sober
Something I wrote a while back. I can now say I'm content with a clear mind

I watched the moon,
last night,
it danced through,
the tree limbs,
onto my,
bare skin.
I pondered,
if maybe,
you too held,
ballets,
across your chest.

I am but the moon
Enslaved to chase the sunset
Searching for her love.
on love

You don't like synonyms.
But I love, adore, revel in their verbosity.
You don't like synonyms.
But I delight, relish, worship in their volubility.

You don't like symbolism.
But I stand staring at the dark clouds which surround you.
You don't like symbolism.
But I stop and look at the ray of light filtering through.

You don't like words.
But the amorous phrases force their way out of my throat.
You don't like words.
And it was I who said the ones that ended it.
