Honey,

you will
never make me
jealous
with that
stooge

I mean really

Hahaha

A runover he is...
with truck
deliberately
in reverse

Spare yourself
the
humiliation

On my death bed,
he could only
half me

Prince;
Talent and a depth that most shallow swimmers would drown in.
He lived on his edge and I have always lived on mine.
I'm not nearly as talented as Prince but I swim in deep waters.
Purple rain when in the right deep is a deep that you wish to never surface and to never breathe again.

when I

look at you

... ..

fantasize,

the sweat
pours out,

from each
and every
pore

To play the part of a marionette is forever;
manipulation strings long gone almost to walk on air.

Tied to wooden x's you dangle,
acting on impulse they divulge your feeling.

Frayed strings, shredded,  near broken,
this fantasy is free,  the cost a cut down tree.

In the distance a sunrise under the canopy of a clever smokescreen,
and I the smoke, I waft away.

let's fall off
the edge of the page,
sail beyond the horizon,
leap from the end of the ledge,
sink into the ocean,
then sink deepest...
beyond.

let's slip away
from the rim of the cup,
slide along the edges of ice,
tumble into blades of grass,
roll with the flowers,
soar beyond the reach of the sky.

let's find parts of ourselves,
nobody sees, hears or thinks,
burrow deeper into a new skin,
move away from what has been,
crawl into a place, so far away,
the past will never come around.

childhood
   sweethearts,
that's where
some of us
   had our start.

we thought that...
   we knew
what love was.

our immmature
minds,
     sweaty palms
and butterflies
     abuzz.

much to learn
       we did....
about the
     birds and bees.

just ignorant
   children,
promising our lives
       on bended knee.

some relationships
   made it through
the storms
      of young
love.

riding rogue waves
   and keeping the
boat afloat
      and in....
turbulent seas
     our heads above.

unique are
    the lovers that...
made it through
   every tornado
and every hurricane.

you are the
    lovers that....
took this love thing
to heart and never
   watched the other
leave for good
       through a
window pane.

i salute
  all of the childhood
sweethearts that
     never allowed their
love's to fall apart.

i'm envious
    of your dedication
and how you
    loved completely....

    one heart!

Life
is a caption

It's not
where you
have been;
it's where
that you
are going

Change course
if the
road ahead
is cloaked
in despair

But just remember;

every road
that you
encounter
is in need
of repair
