Dominoes

There's no joy in flicking the dominoes

like cleaning so tight in between your toes,

My pain is an empty bottle of sprite

that once your gorgeous eyes set alight...

 

There are no heroes when they betray you,

A lifetime of devotion you did pursue.

 

My hands are gathering wrinkles,

while your face is beautifully freckled.

 

The rain can take but it gives

a soaking that'll mean something

if you don't expect

what you shall receive.

 

Here I go again,

bottles piling

to a sunset

long lost set

and my once

colorful eyes

have died.

 

Dancing serpents

and promises

of sleep,

but my conscious

is too deep.

 

Those butterflies in my belly

are not the white noise on the telly

but hypocrisy

& I can't deal with the daily

so I drink instead....

 

Black and white pictures,

capture the soul,

like a boy and a girl

on a single bike,

he pedals and she

rides on the front

and they

both feel alive..
