the seasons in hell
in the death throes of the fall
winter freezes tides.

your dreams have come true
all my support behind you
my plans put on hold.

time moved on too fast
we thought youth was forever
fast cars, first crushes.

love, just a concept
well portrayed in the movies
I don't watch tv.

cute kitten clowning
bats blue ***** of bulky yarn
twisting turns to twine.

you robbed me blind
stole my heart then grabbed my dreams
but I'm insured

Where the dark does thrive
In recesses in my mind ,
where I'm not alive

summer speaks to me
sparks a memory of us
inseperable.

my heart was broken
forever had slammed the door;
I let you back in.

Waterfall cascades
over precipices tall
a rainbow is born

Could we share a kiss
I need it so much today
it will make a dream

what's philosophy?
a dog chasing it's tail
why a bird flies south.

time is for the young
it slips past so gently then
going, going, gone.

rainstorms passing through
natures in the kitchen now
cooking up rainbows

my mind speaks nonsense
interpretation flustered
jokes in the making.

your side always right
political arguments
your views trump mine.

Love, never a breeze
Look at the strongest of men
They're brought to their knees.

sleeping in slumber
another doggone day gone
happenstance happens.

life left me behind
it said farewell and adieu
leaving no address

"you're quite different"
lord, I hear that all the time
my badge of honor.

a stranger to you
a casual aquaintance,
formal upbringing
the crime scene so ******
your body violated.

no internet then
encyclopedias ruled
writing in cursive.

fears paralyze you
distort your view of the world
you are left breathless

the trees are angry
beaten by the wind's music
slam dancing in sync.

if time had a face
would it be proud and angry
or modest and meek

rolling on a log
frogs croak their disapproval
bogs and logs their home.

questions plague my mind
appeasements are not answers
unrequited love.

a spin of the wheel
a chance there for the taking
a gamble on love.

what happened to love
I was in it for a while
clouds across the sky.

What's warmth without cold
Love without indifference
Truce without bloodshed

they march with their signs
that is just the climate now
turmoil hits the streets.

I'm rocking glasses
pride had put then off before
arms now long enough

you're just psychotic
you color outside the lines
you buck the system.

my thoughts are many
like machine gun fire's tempo
no signs of slowing

life, never easy
look at the toughest of men
they've been on their knees

it's the little things
dog crunching a potato chip
movie night at home

mind your own business
you do you and I'll do me
my lifes off limits.

my purse is moaning
cause I never clean it out
but it's full of crap!

near or far away
you've rescued my heart from harm
by saying you care

hope, for the lucky
it's just a glimmer in time
like a game of chance.

the road home is dark
how will I find my way now
my shell is better lit.

graciousness is dead
easier to belittle
laugh in someone's face
think that the rules don't apply
leave lit dog **** at their door.

love has a title
address as sir or madam
it will respond then.

Psychopaths will lie,
tell you what you want to hear
laugh at things you hold so dear
not care if you shed a tear
bring to light your darkest fear
feed upon terror raw and sheer
taunt you as they shout and jeer
cut your throat from ear to ear.

the meaning of life
I can't google it right now
doing your taxes?

why am I surprised
when hope picks up and leaves me
not leaving a note

what's love without pain
life without sorrow and loss
lies without truth.

we danced the tango
like life imitating art
ignited by glances
