Explanation Long Overdue
I know it matters little, 
At this time, I am sure,
But I've always felt,
I owed you,
A reason why,
We did not endure...

As I approach,
The final destination,
I've unfinished chores,
I must amend,
And I guess
It's up to each
Of us to tend...

It may sound insane,
In fact, I think it is...
I...

Seems Long Overdue-Work In Progress
Many Many Jobs
If I was a kid,
I'd stack them like pogs

Never did I find a place
That I wanted to pursue
A legitimate company
Seemed long overdue

Searched and Searched
Found no more
Can't be late or get fired
Really? Who's keeping score?

Finally found Verizon
Worked on the phones
Thought it was a final...

I will not do any more
Put up with any bull s
If You give me bull s
It's going to stay like that
I will not try to understand You
Because it is not my problem
I have put up with You too long already
And I had it
Why do You...

Days Overdue
Days overdue

Dreams may find us where we sleep,
wrapped up for the night
Safely in our chambers dark,
neath our covers tight
 
Drowsy under moon beam glow,
comforting the feel
Born within a fantasy,
nothing close to real
 
Far beyond the deepest stare,
vanilla coated skies
Rolling hills to anywhere,
breaths of passion’s sighs
...

Premium Member Dickey Doo Is Overdue
Dickey Doo is overdue.
Through this town, his train is passing through.
His sweetheart wants him back again.
However, there’s a slow locomotive at the front of the train.
As he hears the wheels go click-clack click-clack,
he impatiently wants to get his woman back.
The pace of his transportation is...

You were overdue.
Never had one quite like you.
You're my dream come true.

An Apology That's Overdue
My mind feels weak
My mind feels heavy
Sometimes, my mind goes fast
Sometimes my mind goes so fast and i can't keep up.

My mind likes to play games
My mind likes to surprise me
Sometimes, my mind just stops.
My mind just stops and I'm so out of breath.
I'm so...

Discipline Overdue
Hurricane BP is coming, I don't see a fitting name(alternative)-
but to dub it such, the company that destroyed a coastal vista;
the hurricane will ravage the coastal towns and cities.
Then the gulf coast states will be renamed the black mess-
and I don't have a mop big...

- An Overdue -
Phrases they keep uttering,
The stupid heart keep refusing.
Eyes that never stop crying,
Bruised heart that doesn't stop bleeding.

This pain they said is overdue,
All I have to do is simply let go.
I deserve or I do not,
I love someone who can't love me back.

Foolish enough to refuse...

Long Overdue
Illusion illusion,
My dreams end in disillusion;
Confusion confusion,
My thoughts are jumbled fusion;
Nightmares and dreams,
Bust and blend at the seams;
Never do I know where they start;
Where the they will at any minute come apart,
This is your doing my undoing;
Creeping up on me I feel the sting,
Of reality...

Your Toll of Love Is Overdue
I must have a bad concussion
Or in some kind of confusion
Giving you another chance
At supplying me romance
Sending new feelings in my soul
I just hope you pay the toll
And not gyp me like before
Leaving my heart hurt and sore
Losing kisses and soft hugs
Romantic fires and warm...

Overdue
Our mistakes are paid
in generations of denial
Old footsteps defaulting,
new judgments on file

The future in debt
to invoices past
tomorrow debentured
—arrears mounting fast

(Dreamsleep: April, 2022)...
