in this dimension

is a reflection of things 
weathered in the ...

Destruction is a form of creation

...Some say destruction is a form of creation.
But what did I create while destroying my body?
What was created while I was chipping away at my skin, slice by slice?

It's not until you step back an...

Gone or A Narcissists wife

...Kicked in for crying,
Now there's a hole.
Put up a curtain,
To cover my soul.
Why can't I leave here ? 
My love is all gone,

20 years been chipping

Rolling into oblivion
Only stopping to say goodbye
Before she dies

Her body sculptured
Marble skin that men admire
Cocooned in beauty and grace
Dressed in sequins and lace

Hoard you

...Stacking  mistakes on top mistakes
Putting everything in its place.
Keeping  my Framed  memories
on display
My  heart hides the flaws with paint.
Meaningless things filling  the room
becoming  ...

i remember walking around wondrously throughout my town,

The snow, deliciously stabbing.
This treat for bare feet, astounding.

This Old House

...You open the door
And hear a creak.
A longing for what once was,
But never again will be. 

No souls lie contained.
Only memories live here.
Do not be afraid,
It’s only a House, dear.

Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades.
Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home...

Rivers of winding winds,
their saw edged currents
chipping away at stone clouds.
Crests of powdery floss

Okay no remorse
for chipping a body to bits
but no sadness
no happy

Only love when someone is thrashing you at tennis
Hate to say it but ...

Summer’s return

...Summer- embraced, like a returning friend-
from a distant land. Here warmth descends-
here, she’s standing at the green fence. 

Listen- Summer’s chipping off her snack-  
rain and leaves crunch...

Little by Little by Little

...My heart seems to break every day 
and
little by little by little
it's chipping away.
The pain that I feel,
I pretend it's not real,
