There is an old pang in my chest
there where your hands used to caress

we gather together, a hundred or so
stetching, warming cold muscles, just waiting to go

nervous anticipation, just wanting to start,

Where are you going to direct me if I'm not with you?
What I fear is the root of my most profound agony.

A glass of wine, or was it three?
Euphoria and sweet release
That set this thing inside me free.

The very nectar of the gods
splashed forth, producing mirthful joy.

A simple god so slender and symbolic
having a one way onslaught in his approach
and toiling with the master-class of the game
to revolutionize an entire country away from his.

Perhaps it is the numbness in my soul
Stricken by the frailty of my heart
That has mercilessly been an object
Of exhibition from dry bones
Perhaps it is the gruesome discord

Night time rest
I lie there counting the stars
as they glint in the Heavens
Desperate to sleep
exhausted tears streak streams
from cheek to pillow
Not that I feel sorry for myself

Appearing, unencumbered, from the mist
Subconscious suspension our nightly tryst

Imbibing my thoughts and heart with her kiss
Lovingly fulfills...

Disappointed and angry on myself I am
Couldn’t just let this feeling go away
That annoying test I have to take again,

Hand Puppets
