Espresso manic
Lay down on the floor
and wondered, is this as low as
I can go. Then, I
took a hit or two cause
it cannot get any worse.

A whispered glory;
the moon sets in summer while we sleep.
No theatre, no painting the skies
with an explosion of polychromatic pomp.
I aspire to be more moon than sun;
that companions shine in my company,
a benign influence
and relish phases dipped in shadow.
If I'm up in the night, I will look for the moon. I always feel it's such a shame that we miss so much beauty in the quiet and the dark, while we sleep. And I feel, as an introvert, that I shine unnoticed while others blaze. I say that I'm fine with that but, in truth, it rather ****** me off!

The rain wont come
The thirst all consuming.
Like the Earth’s jaw,
Crushing pressure
Bears down
From memories
Of sweet waters.
Killjoy left his mark
      On the sycamore tree;
      No doubt that he
Took special bits of bark

And not just some loose
       Pieces.  When I first espied
       It, I relied
On my friend, Caboose,

To bring me back to
       My senses, which he
       Did effectively.
Since then, I am to

Visit regularly
       The family doctor.
       Now, the able proctor
At the asylum duly

Requires of me certain
        Tasks that I must
        Perform in just
The correct form, to pertain

With his strict standards; ---
        But funny, the rabbit,
        He would grab it ---
The clip board --- and Bandards ---
  
The doctor --- he goes berserk!
        So I quit everything.
        Occasionally I bring
Some goodies to my place of work.

A Bad Date

There are many illusions.
The fear of not being reciprocal.
The doubt that it can work
. The fear that he will give up.
The confusion that it will leave in my heart.
And every night I'll sleep no more, from now on.
I wrote that before my first date. And yes, It was so terrible. I loved him, but he forgot me. Just the way I thought

Fearless
Tortillas and a little cheese
can I have some meat too please?
some have pork and some have fish
tacos are a favorite dish
guacamole and some chips
lots of little spicy dips
margaritas if you dare
some so big you have to share
it's Tuesday so it's taco time
and that is why I made this rhyme

You are very neat
And you're cool, and kind, and sweet
The very neatest
