I always found
vulgarity endearing
Because *******
That's why

It’s amazing.
I had it all,
And watched as it all fell apart.
Unaware
Of how it would feel,
Running through my fingers
Like sand lost in time,
The memories I have
Barely forgotten.
imagine a famished beggar at your house,
open your doors and feed him till he's sated

imagine a vagabond on his endless wanderings,
run a warm bath for him where he can soak till dawn

imagine a country lass with smelly undergarments,
give her all the trappings and see her hidden beauty sparkle

imagine the hungry poor hoping against hope for crumbs,
take them to a five-star hotel and make them kings for a day

imagine everyone saying yes to everything worth a yes
and saying no to all things that demean and diminish us,

create a book of convergence where we sign away sorrow and pain,
and let humans with sinewy lust lay their blues to perpetual rest
inspired by yoko ono's enigmatic poem: imagine the clouds dripping, dig a hole in your garden to put them in

YOU
You should have been hear to massage my heart
To rub at every muscle gently till they no longer hurt
You should be here,holding my hand tight
Imploring me to forget this doldrum brought by plight
You should be here losing me in the warmth of your embrace
Letting my smile bloom in the alluvium of your grace
You should be here as proof humanity can still be trusted
To make our friendship one of those that never rusted
You should be here wiping every tear I shed
After all the happy and unforgettable moments we shared
You should be here because we deserve another chance
We deserved forever and more at first glance
You should be here wetting my lips with your sweet kisses
Right by my side helping me stay focused
On battling this uncertainty rather than surviving on wishes
Alone with my pillow and silence influencing the caucus
You should be here reading my poems and stories
You should be here helping me put the past behind
Tasting my failures besides my glories
Yet seeing nowhere else to go for love's blind

JR Potts
Milky golden light sawn through
murky heavens and it bent my glacial heart.
The scent of soggy leaves out on the lawn,
fall has come and done its part.
Winter weighs heavy in the idle air,
hung as though it were a conversation
not yet had

Waning passions hushed by waxing sighs
and unpacked bags in need of packing
before the coming sunrise.
I talk of leaving often but you silence it
with pint-size gulps of red wine,
drunken *** and yet another argument
before you cry
