Again

If I could find a way
to turn the hands
of time
I’d pick you up,
yesterday
to see what we could find

Perhaps a scenic setting
a nice secluded beach
Sandy shores,
tropical,
if this
your mind would ease

Stepping through a portal
looking in reverse,
penning something
quickly
in the form
of verse

Over-pack your luggage,
forward all your mail
You will find
an island waits…
together
we will sail

And if I find a way
to give the clock a spin
I’ll set it back,
by just a day,
we’ll do it all
again

Your perfection is an illusion.
My faults are real.

'Trust' is the stitching
that holds my fragile
parts together.

Whispers of what we share,
like confetti in a breeze,
cannot be recovered
once carelessly set free.

Don't release me to the wind,
I beg you.

Thinning

haunting grey outside,
forced to reminisce.
some believe we should just be.
no mind,
no chemistry,
friends in need.
I was born complete
but now fractured and
blown with Autumn's leaves.
running in place
no direction,
just haste,
faking my way.
the membrane
between me and the pain
is thinning away.
