The shoelaces untie,
they've been caught by the kitten's eye.

She touches, hesitantly, with her paw,
the lace that rests long on the slope, raw,

Rainy days and Mondays guide my journey
Looking for rich harvest in barren fields,
Disappointing me with grudging demeanor
For you my love have never lived there.

Quiet man of few words
Dreamer and free spirit
Curious and passionate
Tinkering and inventive
Creative and hardworking
Nothing came easy
Worked for everything he ever got

And mostly on his own terms

Dedicated father
Devoted husband
A full life but hardly long...

My blessings will soon collide.
Evil thoughts try to take space in my mind.

crazy of me
living with your lie
to expect of thee

that you might somehow see
you are my special guy
how silly can I be

how insane of me
to expect you to try
I'm sure you must agree

to believe in thee
without...

There's a breathing room looming 
Around me, vacantly alive but viscous;
Feeling the bitter dead breath
While grating still, fully motionless
Like a thick,pungent mound of darkness;
As the chill runs unto my raw bones...
Nothing satisfies its hideous plight
With...

As mockingbirds flee in the cadence
of pellucid rain , drizzles  hide a vermillion moon
that is twilight’s burst: still, a gush so dulcet 
spawns a melody while stray buds, pebbles,
