My habit of avoiding
Rather than confronting
I’m sick of it
Because in the end
Is it benefiting me?
Well actually
Yes it is
But is it benefiting
The one I’m avoiding?
…
Not really.
I’m sorry this **** habit
Hurt you in any way.
[This is why we must write; I never knew until this stanza unfolded.]


(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXXXII)


Two canteloupes with rot are better hence
Than simply one, or else why that detail?
And milk two days expired shall now avail;
Five pounds of salad and two more fr'intents
Of lettuce is a bright idea, whence
Add two complete chix salads for sheer bail
Tonight, our dinner that, and to derail
Good reason, salad too, likeas defense.
Put on a movie for distraction, poor
As such escapes, and if one's good, then two
Are better, til it's time for bed in tour
Cuz my alarm will seem too soon. I knew
Twas lotsa food--I'll pack mine fer lunch. Were
There else, Thy mercies, LORD, are ever new.

Go figure, eh? Whatdya know.
Nothing is permanent,
everything is temporary β€”
so is Hello Poetry, it seems.

If I have to say goodbye,
it will break my heart.
There will be tears in my eyes.

Thank you, Eliot, for this place
I call my second home β€”
for the family I found here.

I hope it’s not goodbye.
I’m going to miss you all.
Injection through the brittle skin...

Why wont you tell me your secrets?
I kiss your forehead, but you'll never tell
Even if, even if I have to save you (save you) from Hell
Such broken lips but I will bury your sins, yes love, I will carry your sins

Broken man, batter your will no more, your quiet surrender will not bury you man
Kiss her pretty, find your favourite shade of love, paint by numbers & swallow them stars
Can you push the storm back? Can you cry less without trying?

I will find you both in your finite whispers, two fish swim back together in symmetry,  blessed matrimony after life

I shall kiss you both in caskets...
I shall float alone into the Seas
And I shall fade into the Sunlight
For you I will. . . (Damning tears escape)
