Three words
Fear, love, anguish
All synonyms to my mind
Memories of how you vanish
How you banish my very thoughts
Distinguish yourself amongst my soul
The sound of your footsteps fading away
Like symphonies on repeat that beat
to the sound of my broken heart
Keeping it alive, just too barely
Yet enough to remember
That you were tough
And I was weak

I was taken a-back
By a memory
Of a sweet, sweet face
From long ago.

I can't find that place
Within me.
I wonder where and when
Did it go.

Dallas ain't the place
That I want to be,
But New Orleans ain't the same,
As before.

My heart doth break
For my one true love,
But I can't love
Anymore.
I started writing a new song with my guitar tonight. Making music is fun.

I'm going to call this one "I Can't Love Anymore." This is is only one verse. I'm dropping it here to keep track, cause the internet never forgets.

Northwest Louisiana, let's start a band.
someone out in cyber-land
might just be
copying a poem which they'll
attribute to their own tee

unscrupulous replicators
have no qualms
on flagrantly stealing the lines
from genuine arms

when they take a fancy
to your brilliance of verse
they'll naff off with all or part of it
and stow it within their purse

piracy is rife around
online writing dales and dells
it's the pilfering of an authentic
author's heart and soul bells

they say that imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery
but an alternate opinion
would say plagiarists are bereft
of an original wordage battery
Love is more than sightless we know.
Love is the whole thing,
everything in this world;
- you can do either good or bad,
right or wrong,
in kindness or selfishness
- literally just for ourselves or to anyone else we genuinely love.
Love has it all labels – it’s all about us how we give love neither an evil nor a brilliant name.

You know how to make me laugh,
and make me smile -
it's been a year since you've seen me last,
yeah, it's been a while.

But no man has ever made me feel,
the way I feel about you
the way I do.

I'm so glad my hearts always racing
when I'm catching your gaze and
my heart has never felt like this
all full of bliss,
baby come and give me a kiss.

I never felt quite like this before,
and I'm so glad that you found me
and so much more.
I wrote this as a song, it's not the whole piece only pieces put together. This is an original piece, sounds good with music.
Oh poet, always in that stream of mood, a stranger,
in a place that’s overwhelming and never asked a
thought on it’s own design. Given life freely, born
like everyone else. Yet, still in exile over this globe.
A dark yawning. A mundane normality. Without a
lust for anything, going about it’s daily business,
without a name. Do not wonder too close to them.
Stay with poetry. For someone needs to mix
emotions, sensations and thoughts together and
take the time to articulate. For the rest, are too
busy fitting in.

I saw you there writing
A line of loved ones who destroys you
And when you speak louder in your silence
I see tears running the wrong way
But when the seasons are waiting for you to return
It will bring the wind that you need

And if the world is cold
If the ocean drowns you
Just reach me and we will face it together
If the sun won’t rise during your darkest day
Just hold on to me
We will make it through

I can calm your mind
I know it races to the void
If you are heading there drowning in thoughts
Please let me be your lighthouse
That will guide you.

Sambil mengendarai mobil, aku melirik calar yang menghiasi tangan kananku. Merah seakan salah satu kucingku baru saja mengamuk. Tapi hanya aku dan sebilah pisau di kamar yang tahu itu bukan hasil karya seekor kucing melainkan binatang yang jauh lebih biadab, depresi.
Lampu dijalanan berubah merah, sambil melihat sekeliling aku tersenyum mengamati hiruk pikuk yang sedang terjadi.
Aku jadi rindu perasaan utuh yang lambat laun terkikis waktu dan kalimat-kalimat bernoda.
"Kurang kuat iman sih"
Tak ada kaitannya dengan imanku, sayang.
"Mungkin cuma ada di kepalamu saja."
Dan kepalaku adalah satu-satunya tempat dimana aku tak bisa lari.
"Memang penyebab depresimu apa?"
Karena 1095 hariku tercemar darah, puntung rokok, pecahan gelas, dan caci makian tiada henti. Tak semudah itu untuk keluar hidup-hidup dari kandang singa, harus ada luka yang aku tanggung seumur hidup.
"Apakah kau gila?"
Aku bukan gila, aku baik-baik saja. Hanya ada bagian di dalam sana yang mati dan tak bisa diperbaiki lagi.
Lampu hijau dan klakson dari mobil membangunkanku dari suara-suara itu.
Tapi ketika sudah melaju dengan kecepatan yang nyaman ada satu suara yang muncul lagi, menoreh hatiku.
"Aku tak habis pikir bagaimana seseorang bisa nekat melukai dirinya sendiri sedangkan masih banyak yang bisa dilakukan"
Kalau kau tak paham, tak mengapa.
Tapi aku melakukan itu bukan untuk mati, aku lelah tak merasa apapun karena ada bagian di dalamku yang memang sudah mati.
"Kau mirip banteng ketaton"
Ya, aku marah kalau kau seenaknya menyebut aku gila.
Aku terluka kalau kau seenaknya main hakim sendiri.
Calar itu adalah sebuah pengingat bahwa aku masih hidup.
Untuk mereka, korban kebiadaban depresi.
Kalian tidak sendiri.
