A Young ghost had grown old,
Her memory I ferried for Lethe.
Enervating knees fell in orison
Upon the samphire, married.
There I drank in dizzy stupor;
This is the quiet of my release.

my heart's not in it anymore
this tired deck of cards
with bends and tears at the corners
my fingerprints stained across the backs

i've had my fun with you
and you've stayed by my side
but my fingers are numb

i think it's time to say goodbye.

Close my eyes
Color me blue
Take my breath
Make me new
Exhales to the ocean blue

He
He was trying to ween off drugs…
I was trying to ween off him…

His heart was turning to stone…
My heart wouldn’t stop bleeding…

He was living for the moment…
I was saying goodbye to our future…

That distant memory - a used balloon that has already served it's purpose

Unable to soar pronounced as it once were

Only to bobble from my path deflated and regrettably forgotten
A friend once described to me when a memory will pop into his head and he knows while experiencing it - it will be the last time he will do so.

Her small hands encased in his,
Her heart beats in synchrony to his promises of ever lasting love,
but the battles he faces scream louder than the sound of her tears as she pleads for his warm embrace,
As he soldiers on to his upcoming war,
Her cries for him, are heard no more.

I must travel light,

otherwise I won't succeed --


to comprehend things.
"Under the Net" (1954, Iris Murdoch)

I've wondered lately..
where your words
will take me
how you made distance
feel so close
and how easy it might be
to trust another wounded heart
it was a pleasure seeing you crack a smile through years of despair.
yes the feelings are mutual,
& I take into account how different
we lived before meeting;
two somber poets,
turning pain into beauty..
cheers to you
here's to Life
thank you for the next chapter,
with or without you.
i think im on my last

You'll always be loved
in the heart of white feathers
Let your heart simmer
in the arms of another

Exhale your thoughts
as I leave one last kiss
and let you flow into
the cerulean eye's
of the sea to set you free
What matters is the air you breath, the life you have and the love that may come. You deserve it
