#accidental
A collection of bruises & scars I keep
Dark emotions locked inside a glass jar
A fragile keepsake made of memories
The one I hold dear away from creeping eyeballs & hands stained by dirt
O these clumsy hands of mine make a grave mistake
Eyes follow the relentless spirits at bay
I watch the pull of gravity in horror, the feel of interia burning my skin
The fall was epically horrendous, held in midair, falling at half the speed of motion
Upon the linoleum floor, a sickly crash was heard
A collage of emotions as it exploded with veracity
I felt weak as I surveyed the aftermath
& gently turned to get a kitchen broom
Misty eyes are stifled as anger is stuffed
Gritting my teeth as embarrassment seethes

she was jest one knotch too weird wired for regular folk
her
smile was sorta crooked,
'til she grinned,
then
the whole ****** room lit up like
Christmas Eve and New York New Year on TV
she was thereafter ever after I vanished
in the undamming of the flow,
past the weir on Tenant's Creek.
We walked in the moonlight,
to a famous cavern
where,
Dreamtime, dust stirred in the cave...
hear the sea?
way yonder, hear the ocean?
Sh, touch the dust, ashes of the past,
roll in the dust.
choke
cough choke joke joke
you pass
you pass heko heko finiinish wink.
Morning
Wood pecker rythmn in a hummingbird realm,
one two three for five six seb
seberal cebral lesions appear, pop-outa-gno-where
evil imaginations in your hear, dear reader,
go binge all Purge movies,
then rewatch five seasons of that sup-augmented
puppy show, where each episode is a win,
for the
favorite, in any any child's hierarchy of worth.
Paw
Patrol verses Oscars Oasis--
Get some goodoldfashion ethotical archeo-types
Etched in acid,
splashed in face of the diva asking ever who who who
is fairest of the fair?
not fair?
har har har, fair's fair, in Love 'n' War glory stories,
that end well, all's well.
That ends.
Next is no longer just
around the corner... this junction is some
past all that. Here is where
the rubber met
the road,
the one that leaked and changed reality
for me.

Are you an accidental parent in the world today
when there's so much uncertainty about at play?
People are so caught up in the lusts of the flesh
and don't really know how to escape this mesh.
They fall headlong into a premature parenthood
and don't allow things to unfold as they should.
Sure, nature has a way and takes its own course
but are we not all a victim of some blind force?
It starts at puberty and right through adolescence
there's a really strong urge involved with essence.
Our bodies undergo transformation into adulthood
there's no way around it; all are subject to the mood.
Also, there is so much ignorance in the world today
embedded in the minds of most people in such a way.
They can't see themselves when being taken for a ride
ending with an unwanted burden they're unable to hide.
If they follow those ways of the common throng
it will only lead them into a place that is wrong.
And if revolving around the centre of their groins
they go against the advice 'to gird up one's loins'.
However, this may happen without much thought
and they find themselves very often being caught.
Especially if there are two willing to fulfil desires
that between them both aren't what Love inspires.
For Love has a lower cousin which is called lust
those who are much controlled by it can go bust.
It doesn't matter then who you may happen to be
lust over Love has made a stand, we do now see.

Even if you were an accident
I can never say I regret you
You cracked open my soul
and showed me the nastiness that lives there
That only you have the power to uncover
You taught me that not every intention is good
That not everyone can be saved
That life bring about ways and answers you cannot explaine
But for the moments we were happy I will cherish
I will continue my path with an understanding of never allowing someone to lavish onto the evil I didn't know I had
But to clean it with new lessons life is sure to bring along

I never meant to love you.
You caught me
On the way to my solitude
And tripped me,
So casually.
Did you even notice
That I fell?

I know this isn’t just a crush. I haven’t known you for long but when we look at each other there’s something burning inside of me that I’ve never felt before. The connection is deep and it’s destroying me with every accidental touch. You have changed my distinction on love. You have changed every thought I’ve ever had about my past relationships. You have shown me everything I want but you can’t give me everything I need. I do believe that one day, this space created between us will end. But for now, I haven’t gone a second without thinking about the sound of your voice saying my name as you pull me in for one more kiss.

We search seas for rough
cleansing, but
some times, some new
some old,
we search for her to lap away
the warmth in our sun-born flesh,
to ease away the white-hot-heat and frenzy,
till her cold wet fatigue may kiss us full
of calm, of passivity, of loftiness, of sea-foam docility
and to chill our temperment some.
Sip her blessings, child,
but I warn you, her cup overfloweth
and in your wanting,
your pining doubt,
an open mouth spells a ominous quiet,
and a hushed sigh of grief--
for the sea mourns your passing--
or rather, the passing of the warmth
she grasped too quickly at
when your heavy head dipped too low
too weakly, and bright eyes closed cold
and meekly.

I’d love to write something clever and witty
To capture the essence of Dr Suess in a ditty
But try as I might, the words don’t take flight
And the whole thing just sounds kind of ******

Anyone here have
Any quesions about the
Latest announcement?
We may be getting
Our first doggo tomorrow
and I'm excited
Each fan role gives you
Access to a special chat
Related to them
So I learned that there's
A website that lets you make
Your own fonts for free
She kept slapping and
Throwing things at me so I
Kissed her and she stopped.
Ahh... yeah. Kind of the
Reason why I thought you were
Older honestly.
Cats walk by putting
Both right feet forward and then
Both left feet forward.
I was unaware
I was being annoying,
My apologies.
But then again, in
That case you can use your socks
To kinda itch them.

Save my life
It's nothing but wasted.
Pull aside
the green, leaden curtain.
Of envy, it fills my
every move with deadened motion.
Come inside, won't you?
Save my life
From a c c i d e n t a l hurt
From despair too
Carelessly placed to
Be on p u r p o s e.
What if it was?
Would you trust me?
Enough to relax,
eyes rolled back?
I don't promise much,
and I can't promise
a soft place where
and when I drop you.
I'll d r o p you.

celine wrote some thick books
'Death On The Installment Plan'
'Journey To The End Of Night'
my plan was to read them but i never did
i got as far as the titles
then got stuck
they've been packed away in boxes
for the past 5 years,
i had no need to unpack them
maybe if they had been thinner
what can i do
what can i do
i just don't want to
i just don't want to
everyday i feel so unheld
together
life after life

True love could be,
just a brilliant,
& rare,
beautiful mistake,
setting my heart,
setting it all aquake,
& it's nothing that I can fake,
with so much that I've got at stake,
So please be gentle,
cuz' that thing can really break,
so take a chance,
cuz' life's a dance,
& one I am so willing to take,
In every single moment ,
that I am awake,
in a feeling I just can't shake,
waiting,
in a deep & endless ache,
baby this thing,
it ain't gotta a brake,
& for everybody else's sake,
One day,
I'm just hoping,
just hoping,
that it's just one,
that I,
can finally,
make.

She was a little stick of a thing
More of a twig than a branch.
She had freckles instead of makeup
But man could that girl dance!
She wore a sack of a dress
With simple holes for her arms
But I was immediately captured
By her open-hearted charm.
It was an accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.
I didn’t own a crystal ball
So I could certainly not see
What this little bit of a girl
Would come to mean to me.
She had beautiful eyes
The color of aged whiskey
That could make a guy
Want to do something risky.
A lovely accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.
So I took her with me dancing
As a harmless thing to do
For two people who are strangers
To whom everything is new.
I expected it to be awkward
Could this beauty even dance?
How was I to know that this
Would be the start of romance?
A simple accidental meeting
And a charming mental greeting
Two strangers seeking seating
That did not end up as fleeting.

They don't speak, all the long,
winding bus journey. They are
strangers, with nothing in common
besides the No 50 route
and the free travel passes
afforded to them on account
of their quietly advancing years.
She sits in the seat in front of him.
Their eyes never lock. His myopic
gaze through thick NHS lenses
rests neutral on the back of her head,
her softly blue-rinsed curls and the collar
of an eminently sensible overcoat.
They sit, both silent, as
- outside the foggy bus windows -
winter has one last chew on
time's bony old carcass.
She has a slight stoop which
she's doing her best to hide, and his
shaking hands make his liver spots blur.
They stand - the bus stopping at their
mutual destination - shuffling sideways
into the aisle, and something
unexpected
happens.
The bus jolts suddenly forwards,
then lurches to a startled halt,
and she falls backwards
into his arms
and he
catches her.
For a second,
strange gravities assume control.
There's a moment,
governed by different laws of
physics and chemistry
and half-forgotten, half-remembered biology.
She flushes, infused with something
warm and thirst-whettingly girlish, and he
surges with a newfound potency,
standing taller, the woman he's supporting
somehow lessening the burden of his age.
Her spine straightens, and
she laughs. His face, smiling, youthens.
His hands hold her unstooped shoulders and
don't tremble.
Sun breaks through cloud outside the window.
They remember it's spring out there somewhere.

you held my hand,
and, with that, my heart skipped a beat.
don't fall in love with me
i whispered.
you showed me the world,
and, with that, my lungs gasped for more air.
don't fall in love with me
again, i whispered.
you took the stars and gave them to me,
and, with that, my knees felt weak.
don't fall in love with me.
i warned you- a lot of times, yes.
but i forgot to warn myself;
i forgot that i am but naive.
and after all my precautions,
it was i who fell.
i fell in love with you.

*Your spirit now rests in harmony,
Since you were called with the angels above,
But your smile will live forever,
And it's only you, I think of.
With wonderful memories,
When you reached out from the bottom of your heart,
To see everyone together,
A dream you left behind, and sadly unable to start.
But I believe in eternal life,
And some day we will meet again,
To celebrate and rejoice,
And it will never have to end.
Rejoined in a new world known as paradise,
An idyllic place to be ... without any worries or pain,
Bringing happiness and togetherness once again,
In His presence and reign.*
