a protagonist
Shut the door to the purple and bruised
in the dark like an old dog and a bone
refuses the water too and a stew.
cooked to be so deliciously....
but her old bones are given
and stubborn of weakness,
I just need you to drink
and to eat something...
There's another of black of visions
I can hear the ravens and the pigeons,

Looking Up
Friends are for life,
Burning bright like stars,
Sun like steady,
guiding through
storms of doubt
and decision.
Darkness deep,
Shimmering distances,
faint pinpricks
that appear
deep enough
to need them.
The childhood friend:
of memory never fades,
winter after winter
rising in the
same place and burning bright like pole star.
New friends
cluster like the stars,
seven sisters

How does one fill Silence, if not with awkward lines
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines
I conjure up an emotion or sing a song
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines..
Should I drop a meme , a gif or stickers
How does one fill silence, if not with awkward lines …
Do I send a picture or a

Ditto
hiding in sight
with nothing inside
filling the nothing
with whatever I find
sense your dislikes
discover your tells
deforming myself
against your invisible will
slipping defenses
uncovers the key
allowing a following
re-entry
as inevitability
breaks the spell
leaving one locked door
and a broken shell

Am I Ready To Revive My Friendships
Things are starting to feel normal and reminding me of what we had
But it's a feeling I'm trying to avoid and I know that sounds sad
Do I really want to revive what we had in the past
Just to give up my emotional dignified freedom that fast
I have cultivated a friendship with myself that has made

Make It Like It Was
Time has passed and a lot of things have changed
With you not being around my feelings aren't the same
That same fondness that I once had has to be cultivated
The energy it takes to cultivate needs to be rejuvenated
It would take much work for me to make it like it was
The patience, understanding and communicating in

What Is Friendship POTD
friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on
there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere
our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from

No exit allows egress
No exit allows egress...
forever dooming how the missus and I relate
where interplay, foreplay and coldplay
insinuated themselves within mine pate,
once I espied and entered trap door to late,
thus now ensnared and inextricably
caught into the web of deceit
courtesy my own making
detritus of sundered scattered corpses
a stark prelude of unpleasant fate
awaits yours truly,
whereat once harmonious convergence
between the

You call me by my name, too intentional
I gather all the courage to think more rational
You always held me when I’m available
But truly who am I, for you negotiable?
Your time is priceless, I cannot bargain
Mine is typical, but I can always sustain
I never asked for more than everything
Just be part of yourself, I can

Water of the Bay
What is the water of the Bay?
Is it the water that gives life to others?
Is it more than that?
As I look from atop the mountain I see beauty in the bay.
The water around her feet makes her seem like she is walking across the waterline.
As she sings with no one around I hear

Travel
Being yourself
In a foreign land
Is like heading back
From where you came
Take care
Among new friends
To discover Earth
Through shared lens
Allow that light
To overwhelm
The journey forward
And back again

Holding On
I’m holding on really tight,
An avalanche gives no warning
Nor does a sinkhole.
The deer and the hunter
Have opposing objectives,
You’d think they would compromise.
I wake some nights holding my pillow so tight
It looks at me asking what’s wrong.
When I was young I was sure of tomorrow—
The moon secured the night; the sun lit the day.
Now I

IT AIN'T TOO LATE
It started off so well, so good,
Every language we spoke, understood.
Forever, we thought, it would last,
Yet somehow, those moments slipped past.
We carried happy souls inside,
But now we ride a different tide.
To make amends, it’s not too late,
Yet pride keeps tossing feelings like fate.
Yes, things aren’t well, yet we let them slide,
Waiting for truth, while we

The witch'in
in a winter
storm,
between
us,
we arn't happy
as the car dies,
due
to the winter
that seeps us.
Domestic abuse,
of waving
sickness
of verbal obtuse
and flagging,
the car's
now empty.
I carry
no flags,
and I'm
no handyman.
I saddle up
and cuddle you,
human warmth
so we can't
be frost
in the morning.

Abby
Abby
For a friend with a big heart.
In a world that sometimes dims its light,
Abby shines with something bright
A gentleness that lifts the air,
A heart so wide, so strong, so rare.
She threads her kindness through each day,
In little gestures, words she'll say,
Remembering what others need,
Sowing hope with quiet deed.
Her laughter lingers, soft and warm,
A beacon
