This began as so many have
Before, when I lived out loud
Never fumbling from a lack of
Owning only the possible
Too willing to do or say the hurtful words
As now we stride no shared mile
As many this too has ended
Damaged collateral exceedingly one sided.
And life, goes on, choices find you.
Then and now are tools used and I lose
This mind puzzled and cycles to return to
Nothing, no other shares the hollow person I've made of myself as I love nothing as I loved you.
A burning match struggles
Against the gust of wind,
It's shifting unpredictable nature.

The water drops, so many
Borne and carried,
As if with purpose from heaven.

A single touch enough
No shelter nor cover
To brake the gusts
Thus saving it's little flame.

Doing only as it does
Knowing no other expression
Signaling as it erupts
Smoke rising, its own end

A purpose done.
Against the impossible.

This exactly fits my view of life
And living.
Few words

Hurt worse

Be they used

Be they not

Few words

Hurt

either way.
If I am to carry on through
Eye to eye with cruel nature
And intentional less caring
Found as is the case
I will call upon a trick
Using it to a brilliantly
Defensively of course, mainly
Who could be offended by my smiling?
Choosing to enjoy my day today.

Lost inside a labyrinth

Tight-lipped tinkerer
open-mouthed cynosure

Pressing matters completing their circuit
all things said, but not spoken

Osculated locution, succinct phrasing
released, but not heard

The human element imparting
seminal spark
—together felt and touched

A tingling syntax
owing to its art
becoming its nucleus

I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.
