Eskimo Nell & the Door Repair Man

Now Eskimo Nell 
Has a story to tell
A tale, about my last visit
Into her igloo
I went through and through
Though this entrance I’m told is illicit

She said, “Just for you
That one will...

the fog clouds deep
my head grows clouded
as mist swirls in from above
enveloping my senses
and i wish i could just disappear.

it’s not that i want to die
i just don’t want to be here.
i just want to vanish for some time
and collect my thoughts in the void
i...

Repair

There is a fragment of psychosis left behind,
by the illusion of leverage.
My personal resolution to stop the sinkhole
From becoming a derelict tourist trap,
has fallen short of success.
I drop to my knees to request more time.
The raised and beveled edge of my heart is guarded,
It is...

An Ice Fishing House, Abandoned, in Need of Repair

That same shed waits
by the trees.
Waits on its skids
for the lake to freeze,
and the for the creaking 
joints of bickering 
stoop-shouldered men
as they push it out to the center
of a pool of glass.
It houses the stories of...

On my way to work I drove upon a Work Van, 
It was advertising for Clock Repair
with am image of Big Ben with two broken hands
 
I thought to myself instead of flying by,  
Would I want to repair all my time? 
Could I...

Newspaper lining
Old soul's old soles had worn holes
Temporary fix


*Interpretation of Raul's "Still Life" photo.  To me the lining of the shoes looked like old newspaper....

Bah, rake together the bloody pieces,
if you leave them lying about, they stain.
Any good, that memories hold, decreases,
as does future joy you hope to obtain.

Embrace solitary stillness, silence.
Rediscover a solid foundation.
Gladness can thrive in romance’s absence.
Expired connections lead to damnation.

Clean up wretchedness before it bitters

Before restoring outside perfection,
perpetual pleasures
of prosperous peace

I remain responsible,
compulsively responsive,
habitually receptive
to repairing inside win/lose
past competitive aggressions,
negatively suppressive 
non-communications

My most resilient repentance
includes self-forgiveness
for over-stressed addictions
to trauma repressors,
for failing to do my best
on a bad day

I usually fail to trust 
win/win strategic play
and work my best truth
healthiest...

My shoes,she and he pair,

Torn beyond repair,

No means to re pair!...

Repair the Tear

Ripped and torn apart
Wishing we could just restart
Where are you, comforter?
Will you only watch as everything falls apart?

Repair the tear

Pick up the shattered dreams
Drown out the splintered screams
Where are you, comforter?
Nothing is ever as it seems

Repair the tear

Drown them in sorrow
There will be...

In order to repair the breach we must finally concede
that there's a disconnection from God that we must address by deed
for as naked as Adam and Eve were when they tried to hide from their sins
we need to take a long hard look inside ourselves...

All those years,
All those years of loving her,trying to take the best care of her that I could.
Maybe I tried to hard,maybe it was my fault,
Maybe I loved her to much,is there such a thing?
My mind all tied in knots,
My heart feels like it's on...

Unzip my Heart
Could someone come and unzip my heart
And repair the many broken parts
The wheels that are no longer turning
Are missing the flame that's stopped burning.

I had a love that became sorrow 
Once I knew our love had no morrow
My love still lingers, sad tears...

Yepper-doddle, today I’ll use my own noddle.         
My prized antique frame sustained a despised bust.    
Wanting to show my man the tough dough in my crust,
I found strong glue and told that goo I...
