Hummingbird feeding
Nectar sweet, hovering flight
A deep sleep at night.

My feelings are hurt
You say I can't take a joke
Truth masquerading.

Your sense of humor
Has me roaring with laughter
But your funny side
Comes from a place of great pain
An outlet that keeps you sane.

I'll say I love you
And then I will bid you adieu
Cannot say "I do".

Wish I knew some way
To get you to hear what I say
Then maybe I'd stay

Imagination
What realm can be created
Possibilities
A dark world with kings and queens
Dragons, medieval dungeons

Wherever you are,
there's a warm and happy home
With all the comforts.

You want me to be
Like a human pinata
But do you see me?

I'm indifferent
I can't say that I hate you
I will just think it.

Infomercial shows
Advertise weight loss products
Pushed by skeletons.

In myself, I'm free
I'll hide in here forever
World will go away

I run to a place
when the world comes crashing down
A self made shelter

Sleep, a luxury
My mind's like a projector
With the film sped up.

You inspire me
You've shown love stays in motion
When the world stands  still.

Reinvented me
Went back to the drawing board
And set it afire.

I remember when
Candy was ten for a dime
Carefree was priceless.

I'm still stranded here
You left me on this island
You in the distance

Jealousy's a beast
It's eyes bright green and piercing
Lips curled and sneering.

Gave Jesus a phone
Asked him to hear my prayer
He wouldn't stop texting!

Jesus came to earth
Got a complete makeover
For his Facebook page

Humor, dry and parched
Hydrate with a twist of wit
Stir in the laughs

We're far from perfect
Mistakes are made by us all
Some still have the gall
To declare their godliness
***** fists rolled in a ball

The fourth of July
A bell rings in the distance
Liberating us.

You are like a stranger
Your touch foreign and cold
No explanation do you give
If the truth be told
At least give me an answer
That much is owed to me
I am left in the dark
Without a light to see
You seem pleased and smug
While I simply want your love
An apology I would offer up
Not something I'm above
Yet now I'm feeling angry
Like I'm not in the wrong
Keep it to yourself and pout
I'll be gone before too long.

Kindness, like a can
Return and recycle it
Good for the planet.

It does not take much.
To give a kind word or two
Compliments and such.

Kittens in a box
When one spits the others spit
A chain reaction

Marching in the streets.
Their faces hidden by hoods.
Hate by cowardice.

Body language speaks
But you don't listen to mine
So hung up on words

I know the feeling
of being left out in life.
Stinging sensation

I often wonder,
what they'll put on your tombstone.
"Here He Lied".

If I were to lie
I'd say alls right with the world
I feel right as rain.

Lies are nothing more
Than repackaging the truth
And then regifting.

It shows in the eyes
When lies shrink away from truth
The eyes dilating.

My life just moved here
Fulfillment lives down the street
Around the corner,
misgivings are packing up
Evicted by certainty

Do you like your life
Does it show you all the sights
Or just stand you up

Mine, was direction
With purpose I used to walk
My steps now staggered.

I'm not in the mix
Life creates its own rhythm
I'm not a dancer.

The darkness is split
The glow of my cigarette,
casts an eerie light.

Just to get a "like"
People will risk life and limb
Famous for being famous
Not just another her or him

Lion asked his pride
Why he has to watch the cubs
"I'm not sure their mine"!

I'm lip syncing life
Just going through the motions
No backup singers

How do you juggle
Living two different lives
I can't deal with one.

The long way back home
Gives me time to clear my head,
of the things you've said.

Daylight never waits
Why am I cooped up inside?
Phones ringtone on mute.

Words won't reach the shore
"I love yous" kept in a chest
Claimed by ocean depths.

Loves not a gadget
Or a novelty item
It is tried and true.

We have hit a slump
Same words in repetition
A form letter love.

I don't know your name
Introductions unneeded
Look of love we seek

Don't need to be loved
I tell myself that each day
Yet, loved anyway.
