UhOh. [What's it signify if a guy bares his breast to show a girl his latest tattoo? Don't answer.] (sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCLXVII) If night was like a fever naught to scale Could break, how morning seems a balm from hence, Birds singing, yet as Autumn knows, a sense Of sheer migration in their tone, the veil Not lifted as I wait, but thinning, pale Light warming in the passage of suspense, Where aught we knew is but a dream, pretense The maestro in a ghastly play sans bail. I had a crush on him once; now as twere Lo, friends with him, and glad to see him too, He lets me into his world, where in tour I get to know him better; yet t'won't do, Cuz he is married. Oh, he IS! Bestir Dreams til I'm vanquished?! LORD, save me, won't You? 28Sep25a

Oh Please, Shake Me Awake!
If something good happens, Don't ask why or how. Just enjoy it and accept it now. Because you never know When something bad will happen. And when it does, Don't ask why or how. You can do that later. Now is the time to deal with it And heal from it.

Good and bad
Love superposed, spins on a question: Yes or no? Shut away- away away away Lift the lid? No. Better to live with love in theory than to live with no love at all.

The unobservable collapse
I want you to see her- but she winds, unwinds on an old question-hook she is pinned by it. spins around and around. paper-windmill - razor wire, every rotation more freedom. remove her for you? no. she’d bleed-out in the knowing, and a tortured dancer is better than no dancer at all.

If you see I need help, Don’t ask me Just help me If you see I’m sad Don’t ask me Just hug me If you see I’m tired Don’t ask me Just stay by my side If you know I love you Don’t ignore me Just love me back

How are you
Bullets reign, You've grabbed my heart again. My blood flows blue Out of my chest again Thought I'd fooled you trying to turn the page Was lying to myself You returned with rage Now it makes sense Why this is not allowed Myself I'll neglect Trying to make you proud Breaking guitar strings Just to sing the blues I had just built myself up Now, you've left me in ruins Doubts whirl like blue water in hurricane sea Unable to find the centre Unable to just be My mind freezes when I see you Close my eyes, I'm drowning in blue White shirt, blue jeans golden froth from blue tea Blue mouth from disease unknown Caused me to walk away and leave my home For days on end Still brought no difference And all I felt was fed up With being so different.
