Everything came apart
shattered my heart
splinters always bring
paper cut pain unseen.

I can't regret
what I forget.

The petting
the kissing
the getting
just missing

That night we came together
into the sacred secret Eden
my Adam your Eve forever
without the apple eaten.

The blue pill promises hard times
marriages revived in bed crimes.
Beware your old weak hearts
at love's sudden restarts.

We finally dare
to question you
pretend to care?
Nothing is true.

Heart, courage,brain
Snake oil bromide
rob us blind again,
jab into genocide.

I'm lost into pieces
we share starry night
hearts ignite flames
look for love or flight.
Absinthe madness
troubled tongue
ending in sadness
no longer young.
Beauty cracks
old wax mask
wrinkled witch
taken to task.

I want to
and have
apply you
magic salve.
Stop the clocks.
Turn off time
no more tocks
froze in rhyme.
Famous painting
hangs in France
with crooked smile
and one more dance.
