Arrested in the familiar and unfamiliar images,
Getting to know the stranger you have been avoiding…
The one that no one understands but yourself…
Who knows how they appear to you?
But they...

Break Me DownIt's a matter of time, until I win.

It goes to show, you cannot believe.
There's always something, something going on.
The sorrow you bring, you wonder why I'm gone.
Our moment dies, I no longer hear your voice.
Your the...

A floral fragrance sumptuous and bizarrely pure,
You impaled and intoxicated my mind, with your corporeal charms

Here I Am© Charles H Keys, 2011. All Rights Reserved
Talking anxiously to myself,
Thoughts fresh of the new,
Some deliberate, others not,
Thoughts old and forgotten,
Mostly familiar or so it appears.
Still wondering why
Am I here? Or maybe not.

Of the cruel and crude
Mundane mockery.

My Heart Gave Out
This love affair of ours

Love stamped with an expiration date
Manufactured intimacy rejects,
congealed feelings been sitting too long on the shelf
Not attended,
no adjustment to the minutiae of change
Promises rescinded ...
what flows out...
