tough ol' girl
bent legged and tired
somehow glimpsing another spring
in the winter of her life
got a moose cow who broke her leg and it healed, somehow, but with a permanent bend.  I don't know how she has made it but she limps around the area.

I don't trust my brain to tell me the truth.
He is a known deceiver a stone cold liar
heck he even lies to himself.  
Then I realized I knew other people
Who's hearts were good and true and fair
Follow your heart, I  heard, I swear,
somewhere
But nowhere did I hear
listen there,  in you heart , you hear
So I did and do and it's been
The smartest thing this ******* could ever do

Felt lovely tonight so why notbtake a stab at love?

Using My Memory
ymmiJ Apr 2019
There's the gutter
I once called home sweet home
It's where I bled it out, screamed it out
told that evil spirit to get the F out
There's the gutter
I like to come by every now and then
reminds me to never come back that way again
not to feel the pain but touch it's evil vein
There's the gutter
It has still never let me down

I Dreamed We Dreamed

this dream came in waves
from the heat of the summer sun
on wings of pelicans just following along
